OY--SOL- Perp'nos Church Services PAUL UNDER GUARD IN ROME International Sunday School Lesson for Mar 10, 1953. Memory Selection: "Wo know that in everything God works for gotod with VhnBa wJifn Inva him. whn are called according (to his purpose." Romans 8: 28 (K.S.V.) ' , Lesson Text: Acts 28: 14b-24, , . 30-S1. This lesson is the climax of our study of the lire of Paul, greatest anis (sionary the world hag ever known. In a sense, it must be a review of fjhe high spots in his career, bginning with : his conversion on itfhe Damascus road, the message given by IGod to Barna bas as bo God'a mission for Paul and endijng with his imprisonment' and death as a martyr ito the .cause to whidh he had 60 fervently devoted his life. ' There is no doubt that St was Paul's undying ambition to preach the gospel and he bent his endeavors in that di rection. It looked ak if he would be denied his desire but, toward the close of 'his ministry, while he was Bin Jeru salem, the Lord made it known to him that he was "to go to Rome with divine approval (Acts 23: 11). To 'trace his experience emroute to his eventual arrival in Rome is a moist interesting revelation. From Ephesus, he went to Jerusalem, where he con ferred with the leaders of the faith. To please the orthodox Jews, he fol lowed the ceremony of purifticaltion in the Temple. 'His enemies, however, having seen him with IGenittilels, com plained that he had carried them into the Tempfe, a forbidden act, and their accusations quickly stirred up the mob. Paul was seized and roughly handled before he was rescued by the Tribune Lysias, commander of the 'Roman soldiers. - He waft given an opportnni. "to address the crowd bulk Vhe fury of the crowd was so greait that Paul was ordered scourged to secure a con fession, whereupon Paul claimed im munity from such punMimertfc as a Roman citizen. He was carried before the iSatnhedrin, of which he had been ; a member and, after b conversation with the Chief Priest, Paul raised the question of immortality, knowing iflha the Pharisees and the ISadducees dif fered in their beliefs at this point. " As expected, the Issue transferred Ithe at- ' temitfon somewhat from Paul, as the Pharisees upheld his viewpoint. Sb vigorous was the' resuming coiften tion that the Roman officer carried him away. The Jews were determined to gelt rid ; of Paul. His nephew, learning of their plans, warned him and Paul was eent, under escort, to Caesarea, the capital of Judea, Before 'Felix, the governor, Paul's accusers presented their charges and Paul replied them. Felix understood the Jewish differences and how seriously they re. garded religious questions. However, he postponed a decisiiotn, keeping Paul in prison, but with indulgences, for two years; some thjnkxng Ifchalt Felix was waiting ,to Ibe bribed too release him. IFelix was Succeeded lala governor by Festus, who was a better man. He again heard 'she charges against iPaul and Paul's denial of their accusaMons, Fetttus was iabout K txM Paul to Jeru salem for (trial, which would mean his certain doom, so Paul exercising his privilege as a Roman citizen, appeal ed his case to Caesar. This Meant that he would have to be went to (Rome. Paul and several other prisoners were turned over to Hhe Oanfcurian Julius. Enroute to Rome, they" suf fered shipwreck, following which Paul and Ithe entire 276 km board Ithe ship, spent three months on Malta,, where Paul, taking advantage of the situa tion, preached Ithe gospel Then, (they , embarked on a "third islhip, finally land ing on the mainland at PuteoK, from which Paul made his way to Rome. Arrivftig jn Rome, Paul was con tinued as a prisoner but, while a guard was chained Ito him, he wa8 allowed considerable freedom in so far as his stationary residence was concerned. He conferred with Heading Jews, de livered a great address to a large gathering of his racial kindred and continued his work for 'the gospel. Paul was not brought Ibo trial. Eight een months Witfl mn muiliii, f 1 vmigoi brought against prisoner were con wwrea suiiicien to free him, so OF was liberate. For several years labored and traveled, some Ithink went to spam.

One of these, is Motherhood. Progress has given Mother new methods and new equipment for her age-old reapon ibilitiei. But the love and understanding which are the heart of Motherhood have never depended on science for their expret sion. . One unchanging sphere of material respon sibility has been the religious development of children. From primitive tribal religions up to Christianity, mothers have guided and encouraged the growth of each successive generation in spiritual faith. The Christian Church saliites all faithful mothers. They have led their families to an ever deepening realisation of the sacred bond which unites the Church and the Home in a common devotion to Jesus Christ sH Pia.iil.fct ItJU W.f 4 WE CHUHCH FOB Alt . . .
