Creamed comments on the Sunday school lesson, the Church in Europe. Acts 16:6-10; 18:5-11, for Sunday. June 3. After spending two years in the home church of Antioch, Paul derided to make a second missionary journey to strengthen the church he had founded in Asia Minor, With him was STlas. Barnabas having taken Mark with him to Cyprus. Paul's plans* were changed as he received a clear call from God to enter Europe and preach to the Gentiles there. On the way he picked up Timothy and was later Xlned by Luke. V. 6. "No*’ when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden by the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia.” The country called Asia here was Asia Minor, consisting of the districts where Paul had labored with great success in his first journey. Love and reason prompted Paul to thus move, but God had another plan. V.7. “After they were come to Mysia, they assaged to go into Bythinia: but the Spirit suffered thfem not/' Paul tried to go on bis way as he thought best but God vetoed Ms plan. Often the wisest leaders are wrong in their decisions. Just why change his route, Paul could not understand. He would know the reason later. In looking track we can see how in our lives whan we conld not understand. later we could see God’s providence at work. V 5.8,9. "And they passing by Mysia. came to Troas. And a vision appeared to Paul In the night: There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him. saying. Come over into Macedonia and help us.” Paul had cOme to the last city j in Asia Minor and here seemed blocked. It is’ at such a time that God speaks and the way opens. Whoever the man might have been it was God calling. ••¥ % J< 4n< * after he had the vision, immediately we endeavored to go into Macedonia assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel to them.” Panl. like other faithful followers, obeyed at once They sailed straight across the sea. landing at Philippi where Paul preached (or a little while and founded a church. V. 5. “And when Silas and Timo-, theus were come from Macedonia,; Paul wks pressed in the spirit and testified to the Jews that Jesus! was the Christ." On the way to} Corinth pioneer work was done at i Philippi. Thessalonica, Berea and Athens. Timothy and Silas were left along the way but now. at the I call of Paul, came to Corinth, a wicked city, and he needed thenH > However hard the task. Paul • would not deviate from the gospel. I V. 6. "Aad when they opposed themselves and blasphemed, he shook his raiment and said unto them. Your blood be upon your own heads. I am clean from henceforth. I will preach unto the Gentiles.” Here was a well-understood , acclaim that no honor belonged to the Jews; they had rejected Christ and were hot worthy of respect; they were blocking salvation. V.7. “And he dpearted thence and entered into a certain man’s house named Justus, one that worshiped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue. Justus, like Cornelins, was a Gentile, willing that his home should be a place pf worship. „ V.R. “And Crispins, the chief ruler of the synagogue. believed on

the Lord with all his house: and many of the Corinthians hearing, believed and were baptized." Here was the evidence that God was leading. It is results that tell. V. 9. "Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision. Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace.” Paul was facing, great difficulties, but with b promise from God. he had the needed courage. There are 60.000 of God's pomiaes. Why should we fear? V.lO. "For I am with thee and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee for I have much people in this city.” The righteousness of God prevailed and captured many people. V.IL “And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of Clod unto ttlem.” Paul preached and taught By presfching. people were converted; by teaching, they were established. » —The Rev.
