Acts P:20. - ' . . ' I Lesson Text: Acts 9:19b-22; Gala tians 1 :17-24 ; Acts 1 1 :25-26. '. The vision on the road to Damascus had changed Saul, the rabid Pharisee, the terrible persecutor of the believ ers, into a humble, contrite follower of Jesus Christ After remaining "certain days" with the disciples at ' Damascus, Saul went into the Ara biandesert for an indefinite period, believed to have been a year or more. . It is understandable that this man, after such a remarkable about-face, needed the solitude of the quiet , places to think out the meaning of his experience and to fight through! to victory his Inner battles. ' Following his stay in the desert. ' Saul returned to Damascus, with the foundation of his theology firmly thought out and, began preaching the gospel of Jesus so vigorously that the Jews there plotted to kill him. Aided by his disciples, Saul escaped to Jerusalem, where hi attempted to attach' himself to the attendants of the new faith. ' " Naturally; knowing Saul's reputa- tion sb a persecutor of bievers, they were suspicious, fearing that he was ' only seeking to entrap them. Barn abas, hearing of this, stepped for ; - ward and vouched for his honesty ' oi purpose. " Saul, who never did thinjra in half-way manner, began proclaiming - his new faith in such a vigorous : fashion that the Jews in Jerusalem, as in Damascus, plotted to assassin . ate him and, once again, he was fow led to flee for his life, this time to his native city of Tarsus, where he con tinued to work in behalf of tile new cause. How long Saul remained in Tarsus we do not know but the next we hear of him is ten years or more later. In the Book of Acts, Luke, after telling the story of Saul's conversion and his experiences in Damascus and Jerusalem, reverts" bac8"h "point "of (time to recount the early spread of the Christian faith. The persecution which followed Stephen's death resulted in adherents of the new faith "scattered abroad", the disciples fleeing to various cities, including Antioch, where they preached the new gospel. However, at th?s time, ttiey confined their mis sionary efforts to their own race, "speaking the word to none save only to the Jews." Antioch, in Assyria had been ' founded three centuries before on the .. Orontes River. It was the third city - in the world, with a population of half a million, and the terminal of rich caravans from Persia and India. It was modern for its day, having a splendid and adequate water system, and. its main street five miles long, was wonderfully lighted by night and travelers by day were sheltered from the sun by its arcades. However, morally; the city was disreputable; the Roman Juvenal criticizing the evil fa Rome said, "the Syrian Oronte has flowed into the Tiber." , ' . Ragardless of its evil' practices ; and reputation, Antioch i known as the second birthplace of Christianity. Here it was that the-word was first intentionally preached to the Gentiles by Jews having a broad cosmopolitan . outlook. These were natives of Cy prus and Cayenne, having Hyed abroad and broken somewhat with the strict racial code of their brothers .in Palestine. In 'their activity these Jews "spake unto the Greeks also." Eventually news of this development -amer tx ; the Jewish , Christians in rusalem and caused somewhat of a -niBsibn' thenC'V;;.;;.;. . p to this time the gospel had not i r directed : particularly to. the PAGE SEVEN usually referred to themselves as "saints, "disciples", believers" or "those of the way". The title was not given them by the Jews, because they: were accustomed to refer to the Christians as ; 'Nazarenes" remem bering the question whether tiny good thing could come from that city. The probability is that the Gentiles, per haps in derision, first began using the term "Christians" for those be lieving in the new faith; V'.' M m a m - uxToraurpn ciiage Has Record Service To State Chiltfreii The Oxford Orphanage at Oxford, North .Carolina, has a record of seventy-three years of service to the children of North Carolina. Over five thousand have been cared for and trained. Its graduates and former pupils are iik all walks of life and there is no record of a former pupil having been convicted and sentenced for -committing a major crime in North Carolina. It is the oldest Or phanage in the State and receives children other than those of member ship of the supporting order. At the present time less than forty per cent of the population of the Or phanage is of Masonic, : parentage. lhe. borne possesses valuable build ings, grounds and equipment and has had no operating deficit for- several years. - The annual budget of the Orphan age calls for an expenditure of $194, 600.QO. This provides shelter, cloth ing and food, recreation, heat light, books, school supplies, health pro gram, staff of trained workers, vo cational training in several depart ments, laundry, repairs and upkeep to grounds, building and equipment and experienced case work for a fam ily of 308 children. Liberal gifts are needed this year for operating expenses in order to maintain the Home and provide emergency repairs. The Oxford Orphanage is more than a philanthropyy-it is an invest ment in the lives of North Carolina boys and girls who would not other wise have a chance. It pays to the State and its citizenship the high dividends in character and trained young people. It is an opportunity today for North Carolina citizens to express in a substantial way their desire to help others. The orphanages of the state use the Thanksgiving season as an occa sion to appeal to the citizens of the State for so much needed assistance. The Oxford Orphanage is open for visitors each day and hundreds of North Carolina citizens visit this his tone spot every year. 1.
