RESPONSES TO
THE GOSPEL
-Meswy Selection: "Believe an
the Lrd Jesus Christ, and thou
hilt Waited, and thy hois."
(Act. 16:31)
Less Text: AeU IS: 11-40.
Today's Lesson is a landmark
in tha history of Chrisitanity, for
Paul and his companions crossed
the Aegean Sea to take the Word
to Europe. But, from little acorns

t' Jt' from apparently small b-
ginnings, the seed, af God's plan
for His peoples spread and flonr
Isher, right up to the present
day. , With good stewardship
fours and mine it will continue
to spread and flourish until the
end of time.
In this Lesson,' too, It will be
remarked that women played a
large part in this start of the
spread of the Gospel in Europe.
Indeed, this is not the first
time that women hare played an
important role in religion. It
will be remembered that many
women furthered Christianity, not
only by being converted, but in
ministering to the men who were
taking an active part in teaching
and preaching . . . one can never
forget the dire Martha aiid Vtfry
took of Jesus Christ both be
fore and after His Crucifixion.
A humble contribution in itself,
yes. . iut the love which promp

nificent thing.

However, on the river bank, the
people met to pray, and Paul and
Silas were quick to take advan
tage of this situstion.
It wm in this informal setting
that they became acquainted with
Lydia, a seller of purple, and
they availed themselves . of the
opportunity presented them . . .
that of converting Lydia and their
household. And it was at ner in

visit She put her household at.
their disposal for as long as they
wished; so, with warm Christian
hospitality, and her influence in
the town, Lydia played an impor
tant role in the furthering of
God's Word.
It will also be seen that another
woman played an important role
in the acceptance of Chrisianity
in Philippi . . . this time a humble
servant girl. This girl was pos-

This servant girl followed Paul
and Silas, proclaiming: to one and
all that they were the servants of
the true God. And Paul, possibly
fearing that her reputation gain
ed . by her profession might do
their cause more harm than good
(even though she spoke the
truth) arid at the same time being
moved by Jrfty for her condition,
commanded ; the spirit to leave
her. The change was immediate;

And in this set of circumstan

which led to the conversion of
their Roman jailer and his house

at the hands of those whom he
served . . . the jailer was abojit
to take his own life when Paul
stayed his haJjd.
Thus it came about that, before
Paul and Silas left Philippi, they
had won for Christ at least three
souls whose experiences led still
others to conversion to the tenets
of the Christian faith. Our of
small beginnings, indeed . . . .
