Paul and Silas went to Thessalonica,
largest city of Greece, and preached in
the synagogue, and many Jews and
Greeks believed, and many of the chief
women.
But the unbelieving Jews gathered a
company and set all the city in an up
roar, going to Jason's house, where Paul
lodged, assaulting the house, taking
Jason and others.
The rulers, when they had taken security
of Jason, let them go, and they sent Paul
and Silas away by night unto Berea,
where they went Into the synagogue of
the Jews.
About two years later Paul wrote to the
Thessalonians who believed, telling them,
"But ye, brethren, be not weary in well
doing."

L
HIGHLIGHTS ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
By NEWMAN CAMPBELL
(The International Uniform
Lesson on the above topic for
Nov. 17 is Acts 17:1-11; I Thessa
lonians 1-2; 4:13-18; II Thessa
lonians 3:7-13, the Memory Verse
being II Thessalonians 3:13, "Be
not weary in well-doing.") -
"NOW WHEN they had passed
through Amphipolis, and Apol
lonia, they came to Thessalonica,"
which was then a great city and
still is today, now being known
as Saloniki. There was a Jewish
synagogue in Thessalonica, so
Paul, as was his custom, went
there to preach on the sabbath
and continued for three days,
"reasoning with them out of the
scriptures."
"Some of them believed, and
consorted with Paul and Silas;
and of the devout Greeks a great
multitude, and of the chief women
not a few."
There were those who refused
to believe what Paul preached,
and these were envious of the in
terest Paul and his companions
created by their teaching, and
those "of the baser sort" gathered
a company together and "set all
the city in an uproar and assault
ed the house of Jason, and sought
to bring them (Paul and Silas)
out to the people."
You remember that before com
ing to Thessalonica, Paul and
Silas had been beaten and im
prisoned, but an earthquake had
set them free, and their Jailor had
been converted. The Thessalonlan
mob "drew Jason and certain
brethren unto the rulers of the
city, crying, These that have
turned the world upside down are
come hither also: Whom Jason
hath received: and these all do
contrary to the decrees of Caesar,
saying that there is another king,
one Jesus."
Treason Charged
Under the Roman emperors it
was high treason to violate the
majesty of the state. It was the
charge hurled by tyrannical em
perors at these they wished to be
put to death. The men who op
posed this new teaching used the
accusation artfully. However, the
rulers, while troubled by it. took
the mildest step possible to their
own safety. They "bound the ac
cused over in security that peace
should be kept," or as St. Luke
tells us in Acts, "when they had
taken security of Jason, and of
the other, they let them go."
That night Paul and Silas left
Thessalonica and went to Berea.
Luke says, "the brethren immedi
ately sent away Paul and Silas."
They were not obliged to go, but
the safety of the Christians at
Thessalonica would be In danger
If they stayed.
There Is no mention of a Chris
tian church In Berea, but Paul
and Silas went to the synagogue
of the Jews and taught there, and
"These were more noble than
those in Thessalonica, in that
they received the word with all
readiness of mind, and searched
the scriptures daily, whether
those things were so."
Paul mentions no church in
Berea in his writings, but there
may have been one, nevertheless.
Whether this is so or not, the
Bereans were open minded and
versed in the scriptures, which
they searched to see whether
what Paul and Silas taught about
Jesus really was in the scrip
tures. Paul never visited Thessalonica
again, but within two yeans of his
visit he wrote his first two epis
tles and these to the brethreii at
this place. No other letters ever
wrtten have had and still have
the influence of the letters of
Paul to his churches. They were
written with the needs of special
congregations in mind, but they
touched upon subjects of such
universal interest that they are
appropriate to all churches and
world situations.
Dissensions In Church
There were several reasons for
Paul to write these letters to his
friends in Thessalonica. We are
informed that some in the church
there were claiming that he had
used deception in his preaching:
some that he had made money
out of his ministry; some claimed
the church was in danger of un
chastity; some were not spending
their time profitably, and some
were sorrowing unduly for their
lost ones.
Always in his letters to his
churches Paul tells them he has
mentioned them in his prayers.
"Remembering without ceasing
your work of faith and labor of
love, and patience of hope in our
Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of
God and our Father."
Probably because of the various
criticisms of Paul and his com
panions now seeming to have
arisen in Thessalonica, Paul's first
epistle is largely a defense of
their actions while in the city.
"For ye remember, brethren, our
labor and travail; for laboring
night and day, because we would
not be chargeable unto any of
you, we preached unto you the
gospel of God. 1
"Ye are witnesses, and God
also, how hollly and justly and
unblameably we behaved our
selves among you that believe."
For those that were grieving
for lost loved ones he wrote, "But
I would not have you to be ig
norant, brethren, concerning them
which are asleep, that ye sorrow
not, even as others which have no
hope. For If we believe that Jesus
died and rose again, even so them
also which sleep in Jesus will God
bring with him."
His final advice to the members
of this church was, "But ye,
brethren, be not weary in well do
ing."
The Everyday
Counselor
By HERBERT SPAUGH, D. D.
One of the signs of old age is a
tendency to live in the past, to re
call the "good old days". All of us
know that man has a tendency to
cast a halo around certain clays in
his personal past. Too many of us
scolf at this.
There are times when we should
look truthfully back at the past.
This is particu
larly true of the
history of our
country. This is
one of those pe
riods whpn in

come across the record of the first
Holy Communion Service held in
America in 1607. The Scripture
Lesson read on that occasion is
one which should be read and
studied today:
"All of you be subject one ot
another, and be clothed with humil
ity: For God resisteth the proud,
and giveth grace to the humble.
"Humble yourselves therefore
under the mighty hand of God,
that he may exalt you in due time:
