Subject; Paul’s First Missionary
Journey - Antioch in Pisidia
Acts 13:13-.j2 —Golden Text.
Acts 13:49—Commentary.
TIME.— A. D. 45. PLACE.—An
tioch in Pisidia.
EXPOSIJION.—I. By Him Every
One that Believeth is Justified from
All Things, 13-41. Missionary work
was too hard tor John Mark, but the
day came when Mark did better (cf.
ch. 15:38, 39; Col. 4:10; 2 Tim
4:11). Paul always sought the syna
gogue on the Sabbath Day (v. 14).
It was there he could meet the people
and preach Jesus to them. He put
himself in the way of opportunity and
the opportunity came. Paul, like Pe
ter on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:
14-3 4) and Stephen before the coun
cil (Acts 7:2-49), began his sermon
with an exposition of Old Testament
Scriptures and Jewish history, but
uses all to lead up to Christ. There
is one thing that he would have his
brethren know, viz., that through
Jesus is preached unto them the for
giveness of sins (v. 3S). Verses 38,
39, contain a marvelously full state
ment of the doctrine of justification.
(1) How men are justified “bv
Him” (Greek, ‘‘in Him.”) (2) Who
are justified?—‘‘Every one that be
lievetE,” R. V. (3) From what men
are justified—‘‘From all things.” (4)
How no man can be justified—“By
the law of Moses” (cf. Rom. 3:20).
(5) When men are justified—the mo
ment they believe. This is a wonder
ful Gospel, but it lays a tremendous
responsibility on all who bear it, all
despisers shall “wonder and perish.”
11. Many Jewish Converts and
Much Opposition, 42-47. Paul made
it plain as day that Jesus is the Mes
siah and the Son of God (vs. 23, 25,
27, 29-31, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37), that
God raised Him from the dead and
thus fulfilled the promise made unto
the fathers (vs. 32, 33), and that “by
Him every one that believeth is justi
fied from all things” (vs. 38, 39).
The sermon produced immediate and
abundant fruit. The converts were
of two classes, regular Jews and
proselytes. Paul and Barnabas (it is
no longer Barnabas and Paul) fol
lowed up their work by words of pri
vate instruction and exhortation. The
substance of exhortation was to stead
fast continuance (cf. Jno. 8:31, 32;
15:5-10; Acts 11:25; 14:22; Col. 1;
23). The sphere of their steadfast
continuance, “the grace of God.” It
was pure grace that Paul taught (vs.
38, 39; Ro. 3:24; 11-6; Eph. 2:8),
and it is only in grace that one can
“continue” or “stand” (Ro. 5:2; Gal.
5:1, 4). The word of God mightily
prevailed, the whole city was shaken
and “almost the -whole” city came to
hear. What they heard was “the
word of God” (cf. 2 Ti. 4:2; 1 Thess.
2:13), and that was what they came
to hear. Hearing, however, is not
believing and obeying (Luke 8:5-7).
It is not always the city where there
are most hearers that there are the
most conversions. The great crowds
awakened the jealousy of the Jews
(cf. 17:5). They weri? “filled with
jealousy.” Human nature is pretty
much the same in all lands and all
ages. Let anew preacher come to
any city to-day and draw great crowds
of eager hearers, where crowds have
been hitherto small and interest fee
ble, and somebody’s jealousy is pret
ty sure to be aroused. Opposition
did not frighten Paul and Barnabas.
It made them the more bold. The
word of God according to God’s order
must “first be spoken” unto the Jew
(v. 26; Luke 24:47; Acts 3:26; IS
5, 6; Ro. 1:16). But as they would
not have it, it was given to others
:(Ro. 11:11, 12), (cf. Dent. 32:21,
,Matt. 21:43). America and England
ihave “the word of God” to-day; if
They “put it from” them (as they
eeem likely to do) it will be given to
others. A man settles his own des
tiny by what he does with the word
of God (Jno. 5:40). The Lord had
“commanded” Paul to go to the Gen
tiles. He had given him this com
mandment before he left Jerusalem
,(ch. 22:17-21). This commandment
jwas also implied in O. T. prophecies
concerning the Messiah, which fore
told that He was to be for the Gen
itiles (v. 47; cf. Isa. 49:6). In the
iO. T. as well as the New the world
wide purpose of salvation was clearly
iset forth. “Unto the ends of the
‘earth” the finger of God always
pointed and the grace of God always
strove (cf. ch. 1:8; Matt. 28:19).
111. Many Gentile Converts and
Ritter Persecution, 48, 49. The Gen
tiles glorified the Word of God that
the Jews despised. “As many as
were ordained to eternal life be
lieved.” The practical evidence then
that any one is ordained to eternal
life is that he believes (cf. Jno.
6:37). The Jews, in this lesson, ad
judged themselves unworthy of eter
nal life by putting the Word of God
from them (v. 46). These Gentiles
adjudged themselves ordained to
eternal life by believing the Word oi
God. What one does with the Word
decides his eternity. “The word ol
the Lord” made great progress, “it
was spread abroad throughout all the
region” (cf. ch. 6:7; 19:19, 10, 26).
This awakened fierce opposition and
bitter persecution. Notable success
of the Gospel always does. The devO
will not allow the Gospel to triumph
without a mighty fight (ch. 4:1-3;
5:14-18; 6:8-14). The Jews, list
opposers of God’s lYord in all ages
took underhanded means to tliwari
the work.

PAINT EVERY YEAR.
No One Wants To Do It, But Some
Paint Will Wear No Longer.
When you have a job of painting
done you don’t expect to have it done
over again very soon, but to make a
lasting job several things must be
taken into consideration—the proper
time to paint—the condition of the
surface—the kind of materials to
use, etc. All these matters are fully
covered in the specifications, which
can be had free by writing National
Lead Company, 19 02 Trinity Build
ing, New York, and asking for House
owners’ Painting Outfit No. 4 9'. The
Outfit also includes a book of color
schemes for both interior and exterior
painting, and a simple instrument for
detecting adulteration in the paint
materials. The outfit will solve many
painting problems for every house
owner.
Meantime when buying paint see
that every white lead keg bears the
famous Dutch Boy Painter trade
mark, which is an absolute guarantee
of purity and quality. If your paint
dealer cannot supply you National
Lead Company will see that someone
else will.
The latter is only for the human der
elict.

“Gentlemen:—For five weeks I suffered
intensely from a bad case of Eczema, which
covered my chest, stomach, back and both
arms. After trying three physicians and
one skin specialist, and by actual count
twenty-nine different ointments and lo
tions, I accidentally learned of Hancock’s
Sulphur Compound and Ointment. As L
was willing to try anything once, i pur
chased a bottle of the Liquid and Oint

stant relief from that awful itching in

“My little boy had an awful rash all over
his body and the doctor said it was eczema.
It was terrible and used to water awfully.
Any place the water went it would form
another sore and it would become crusted.
A score cr more physicians failed utterly
and dismally in their efforts to remove the'
trouble. Then I was told to use the Cuti

Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment and a
bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, and before
we had uaeid half the Resolvent I could
