I. Paul and B-irnabae Preaching at
Iconium (vv. 1-7). i?
1 Their manner of preaching l?. *'?
This is suggested t y the little word
In verse 1. Tliey so spake that
? sreat multitude believed They were
tru. preachers, only that which
l,ri, conviction of sin and induces
dec- "its for < hrist can he truly said

?_> Their attitude towards opposi
tion (V. 3).
is suggested by the word
??therefore." -Long time therefor*
the* tarried" The opposition did "Ot
present their preaching, but Incited
thetn to continue preaching. Christian
workers should learn not to give up
work because of opposition.
3. The Lord accompanied their
preaching with miracles (v. 3). Since
the opposition was so fierce, the Lord
granted help which was needed.
4. The effect of their preaching
(v. 4 >
The multitude of the city was ai
videu. Where men faithfully preach
the v'"Spel there will be division. Such
division comes frequently In tfie home
just as Christ predicted.
r?. Paul and Barnahae assaulted
(vv. 5-T). , .
The Jews and the Gentiles united
in planning this assault. Being ap
prised of this plot, Paul and Barnabas
lie.l to l.ystra and Perbe. where they
preached the gospel.
II. An Attempt to Worship Paul ane
Barnacas at Godi tvv. 8-1S).
1. The occasion (vv. 8-10).
It was the healing of the lame man
God's gracious power shown in heal
ing this lame man occasioned a new
difficulty T: ? man was a confirmed
cripple, ne had never walked. On
hearing Paul preach faith was burr
In his heart (Itom. 10:17). When
l'aul perceived that the cripple trust
ed Christ. " -h n loud voice that all
could hoar : ?; bade the man to stand
upright. Th. cure was Instantaneous
for he lea1- ! up and walked (v. 10)
2. The t 'l.oil (vv. 11-13).
They ca ?! Barnabas Jupiter, an.*
Paul Merc i is because lie was tlit
chief speaker. The priest of .luplret
brought ox.i and garlands ready t..
offer sacrifice unto tliose men (v. 13)
3. Their efforts frustrated (vv
H-1S).
Tills foolish act was happily avert
ed hv the tact of the apostles : s ex
hibited in the address of tiie o ca
si on.
(1) They denied that they were dt
vine beings and declared against Hit
worship of men of like passions win
themselves. What awful folly t? wor
ship such beings when the Infinite
God. who created ail things and is
nhove all, spreading out Ilis benell
cent hands In blessing upon all. l!
seeking true worshipers!
(2) Thoy directed them to turr
away from these vain things unte
the living God w o made heaven and
earth, and lias left witness of II I m
seif in that lie has always done good
giving rain and fruitful season, fllllnp
their henrts with gladness.
III. The Stoning of Paul (w
10-22).
Wicked Jews from Antloch and
Iconium pursued Paul with relentless
hate to this place where they stirred
up the very people who were wllllnt
to worship the apostles a little whllt
before. This hatred took form In tht
stoning of Paul and dragging him out
of the city for dead. These things art
easy to talk about, but how awfn
they must be to experience. Go<1
raised him up. and with undaunted
courage he pressed on with his duties
as a missionary, bearing the good tlrt
lngs to the lost The church toda>
needs men with such zeal anc
courage, and such a passion for the
souls of lost men that tliey will dr
as Paul did.
IV. The Organization ef Churchea
In the Field (vv. 23-28.)
Evangelization with Paul did not
mean a hasty and superficial preach
ing of the gospel, but the establish
ment of a permanent work. Elders

The effect of tl?is sermon was that

The Public Library A
Community Institution
"Reading Makcth a full Man.
and how shall they read without
books?
This is the mission of the public
library ? to furnish reading mater
ial. The average home has a mea
gre supply of reading matter, espec
ially is this true of children's books
and of reference books of the more
authorative and expensive type. In
deed, it is impossible for the aver
age home to have any large collec
tion of books and magazines on ac
count of cost.
The public library grew out of a
recognition of this fact. The Li
brary. therefore, is a community ef
fort to supply reading material in
quanity and variety. In order to
make it attractive, new titles must
continually be added.
In the average small community
such as Murphy there is no regular
appropriation from public funds to
supply books, or the appropriation
is all too small. This is true in this
community. Therefore it devolves
upon the citizenship of the commu
nity. through collective effort, to
supplement the reading material in
the community library from time to,
time. Any time is appropriate.'
However, a special time has been set
aside in the near future for the col
lection <?f a fund at a silver tea at
the Cernegie Library for this worthy
cause. Everv parent with children,
indeed, even citizen in the commu
nity. should respond to this special
call. The response to such a drive
for funds may a>c11 be taken as a
j measure of the interest of a commu
nity in its young people; as a mea
sure oi the reading habits ami the
culture of a community.
How will m\ community measure
up when this call comes? Let each
one watch for the announcement and
dc his part.
