At the time the events of this ’ lesson iH-gan, about 12 years had | ela|M«-d since Saul'w conversion in the lesson of today is depicted ( how the early Church obeyed Christ * command to make disI ciples of all natlous.

Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them." Note the missionary call by the direction of the Holy Ghost who moved the spiritfilled church at Antioch to listen to the voice of God. A missionary church is a spiritual, a spirit-filled church. There I* something vitally wrong In the church and the individual that I* not interested in missions. V. 3. "And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away." The foreign missionary enterprise ' wan conceived in a spirit of prayer. God revealed his full purpose to! men who were so in earnest in their desire to ascertain his will that they neglected legitimate need to the point of fasting. Having done all In their power to help these first two missionaries, they ord rigid them by the laying on of hands and •ent them away following them with their prayer* No wonder theirs was success as missionaries. Vs. 4. "So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, separated unto Seleusia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.” Here I* an act attributed to the Holy Spirit which clearly Implies his personality. V. 5. "And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogue of the Jew*; and they had also John to their ministry.

Possibly John was not willing to pay the price In missionaries we see the meaning of full consecration. V. 14. "Hut when they departed fiom Perga, they came to Ant toeb of Pisldia, and went into the synagogue on th* sabbath day. and eat down.” In the phrase "sat down" we note that they did the preaching; theirs was sound prea thing, calllmt attention to Christ.

"And the next Sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God " A great interest had been aroused by Paul's preaching. Paul In his sermon on the preceding Sunday referred to the offer of the gospel to the Gentiles; here is shown tbat he was justified In go doing. V. 41. “But when the Jew* saw the multitude, they were filled with envy and epake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradiction su>d blaspheming.”. Pride and bigotry can make men blind to the gospel truths. V. 46. "Then Paul sod Barnabas waxed bold, and said. It was necessary that the word of God should first liave been spoken to you; but seeing you pul • it, frqm 7L, .m><t' judge yourselvdsi unrbrthy •< overylaating life, io. we turn to the Geutilea." A true disciple of Christ is courageous, risking his life for the gospel's sake. V* 48,49.

And the world of the Lord was published throughout all the region." There is nothing that produce* real joy as the deliverance from sin which the gospel of the Lord doe* when it is believed.
