When we left this wonderful ory
of the continued doings and teaching
of the nsccndcd f.ord by His Spirit
throui,-) His servants a few weeks
ago. we saw I'aul and Barnabas and
others iea. liing and preaching the
word of th Lord at Ant loch (xv, 35).
Now we are to have five consecutive
lessons on Paul's second missionary
Journey as recorded iu chapters xvl
xviii. but we have some preliminaries
in the closing verses of chapter xv.
Some Christ fa us are tempted to think
that Cod can only use perfect people,
and while they nre looking for such or
waiting to become such themselves
souls are perishing for lack of some
kind of a pole to hold up the brazen
(serpent that the perishing may see the
Berpeiit. not the pole, and live. I sup
pose that in considering this record of
the ipiarrel between Paul and Huron
bas concerning John Mark some would
take one side and some the other, but
the Lord overruled it to send out four
missionaries instead of two, and
loved them a!1 in spite of their sins
and doubt less blessed them as they
wont forth in His name. I'aul and Silas j -

sake of winning the circumcised to

doubt), and the number of them In
creased, the Iird manifestly working
with them. With a map of Asia Mi
nor, which is necessary in this study,
one can see that, having passed well
through the provinces to the west,
they were forbidden, at that time, to
go south into the province of Asia
and not suffered to go north into
Bithyuia, the Spirit having His own
plan for them. It should be our aim
to live in the will and purpose of
God and rely upon Ps. xxxil, 8; Isa.
