Lesson Text: Acts 14:44-52; Galatians 3:26-19 1 Following the triumphant exper ience on the island of Cyrus, where the proconsul Sergius Paulus had been converted, and perhaps inspired by such events, Paul and Barnabas wi. niiuu ax usu bin. xaia.iu i.i I 1.111. heathen world of Asia Minor, land- southern coast. Here John Mark left the party, although the record gives no reason. Several years later Paul divided from Barnabas rather than agree for Mark to accompany them, a, Many possible reasons have been assigned for Mark's desertion. Some think that he disapproved of the idea or carrying the gospel to the Gen tiles. Others that the missionary tour was extending further than he had expected. The possibility that he had been stricken with sickness 1. -1 1 - ee 1 as well as mere fear of the dangers of the perilous joumey inland. Another reason has been assigned in his disliking Paul's assuming the leavrship from his kinsman, Barna bas.) At any rate, John Mark went back to Jerusalem. In later years he redeemed himself, serving with Bar nabas and Peter so well that even Paul was reconciled to him. -JVe should not judge Mark too .Hastily. As Dr. James D. Hunter -says: "No one of us knows himself, or is known, until the supreme test MIVtM Wo TYnaf .nma fn sti-ii. 'Ta ga' before it can be known of what " ' ' " 111 iJ V 1.W1111, w VU1 A CI' 1 stuff , exactly, we are made. There may be in us more of the shirker, the . traitor, the coward than we or others ever dreamed of. Physical cowards- we may not be, but moral cowards we may easily be. Are we not often afraid to express our honest convic tions. Do we not sometimes shirk the performance of an unpopular, duty? De we not often secretly in our hearts laud and praise bold, brays? men, like Paul and Barnabas, whfie' at the same time we leave them to fight olone the great moral battles of life? What better are we than John Mark?" i Paal and Barnabas proceeded on theii hundred mile journey to Pisi dian Antioch, a trip which took them over bad roads or none at all, through a lawless people, across un brldged rivers and over mountains. This Antioch Jto be distinguished from the one in Syria and eleven others) was on the main eastern to western highway through Asia Mi nor. Arriving here these leaders at tended the sfnagogue and we have a .brief account of the first recorded sermon delivered by Paul, in which he rjn through the history of the Jews the gradual unfolding of God's plan which culminated in the death and resurrection of Jesus, and set forth his great doctrine of justifica tion ."by faith. 01 the next Sabbath the whole city gathered to hear the new mes sage. The Jews were filled with jealousy and contradicted the basis of the new faith. They denied the possibility of salvation in the cross, asserted that Jesus had died the deafh of a criminal and charged that te Resurrection had been a fraud perpetrated by the disciples of JeBus. Paul and Barnabas boldly met the challenge, declaring that since the Jewsyfelt themselves "unworthy of eterAal life" they would turn to the Gentiles, quoting the prophecy of I.iaiah 49:6. The world today should avoid the unchristian exclusiveness practiced and, believed bytte Jews of that day, yet .there are many signs that such is not the case. As Dr. Charles E. Jefferson says: "The very existence r JAYLOR THEATRE EDENTON, N.

"BILLY THE KID" of civilization is jeopardized by our national suspicions and hatreds. Na tions are so afraid of one another, that they weigh themselves down with armor. Patriotism is too often little more than hatred of foreign countries. The man who is fond of any country but his own, is suspected of having the heart of a traitor. We need the saving influence of the great-hearted Paul, the man who loved all classes and all nations and all races, because Christ died for them all." The Jews incited the women and chief men against the two mission aries and as a result of the hostility they were expelled, going to Icon- mm. Women played a more active part in the world of that day than many realize. As William E. Ram sey explains: "The honors and in fluence which belonbed to women in cities of Asia Minor forf one of the most remarkable features in the his tory of the country. Under the Ro man Empire we find women magis trates, presidents of games, and loaded with honors. The custom of the country influenced even the Jews, who in at least one case appointed a woman at Smyra to the position of ruler of tke synagogue. It would be strange if the women had not exer cised some influence over St. Paul's fortunes." Important Notice Regarding Sale Of Wheat Under Act Here is information of importance to any person who buys, sells or handles wheat this year under the AAA's first national marketing con trol program for wheat. E. Y. Floyd, AAA executive offi cer at State College, advising that any combiner, processor or grower of wheat should approach his county AAA office for administrative details of the marketing quota program im mediately, today offered this outline of facts: The non-allotment farmer who har vests wheat in excess of his usual acreage and the allotment farmer who seeded in excess of his alloted acreage must "clear" themselves with AAA authorities either by paying the penalty of 49 cents a bushel on excess wheat or by pro viding satisfactory removal of the overage from trade channels before they may receive marketing cards. Unless the farmer can show his mar keting card, Floyd said, the buyer or combiner will know that the wheat offered is subject to penalty. Buyer and producer of wheat sold without marketing card will be joint ly liable for payment of penalty. Action will be taken by the office of the U. S. Attorney General in Fed eral Court if the penalty established for the individual farm is not paid within 60 days after completion of the harvest. If the producer shows a marketing card, however, the buyer or combiner will know that the wheat may be handled penalty-free. Special arrangements will be made to accommodate growers who market wheat by telephone or mail, Floyd said.
