let him take the water of life freely”
(Rev. 22:17). The disciples natural-
ly and properly first preached the
gospel to the Jews, but the tune
came when God was ready to send
them to the Gentiles, that they too
might hear the message, of redemp-
tion. That historic turning point is
found in our lesson. As Paul and his
fellow workers proceeded from
Paphos on the isle of Cyprus to the
mainland with their message of
Christ’s redemption, they met both
I. Popularity and Persecution
(Acts 13:44, 45).
In the synagogue of Antioch of
Pisidia they were invited to preach,
and Paul was blessed in the presen-
tation of a powerful gospel message.
Read it in Acts 13:16-41. It met with
such a response that the people “be-
sought that these words might be
preached to them the next Sabbath”
(v. 42). So grftit was the popularity
of Paul’s message that the whole
city came the next Sabbath “to hear
the Word of God.” What a won-
derful sight that .must have been
and how the disciples must have re-
joiced as they^preached the Word.
But wait—there’s a'worm in* that
red apple of popularity, and its
name is jealousy (v. 45). It caused
the Jews to blaspheme as they con-
tradicted Paul’s preaching. Jeal-
ousy always makes a fool out of the
one who yields to it. Yet this green-
eyed monster is permitted to go
right on destroying, hindering, htirt-
ing. In the church and the home,
as well as in the social order, we
let jealousy come in and wreck
friendship, Break down reputations,
yes, even block the work of God.
May someone learn the lesson of our
text and turn away from that evil
way—right now!
II. Rejection and Acceptance
(Acts 13:46-52).
All through the record of Scripture
and the history of man to this day
we find some rejecting the grace of
God—others accepting. Those who
reject only prove themselves “un-
worthy of eternal life” (v. 46) and
are themselves rejected of God.
The disciples now turn from the
Jews to minister to the Gentiles,
even as had been prophesied (Isa.
42:6; 49:6; Luke 2:31, 32). They
accepted the word of truth and
“were glad, and glorified the Word
of God.” Rejection brought eternal
death, but acceptance brought eter-
nal life and joy.
They could not keep the good news
to themselves, but had to spread it
abroad. A lighted candle begins at
once to shine. A redeemed soul
longs to bring others to Christ.

Town Hall Talks
No doubt, most radio listeners
have at some time or other listened
to or heard of “Town Meeting of the
Air," radio’s most controversial pro-
gram. Here is a glimpse of the “be-
hind the curtain scenes," according
to George V. Denny, president and
moderator of Town Hall in New
York city. The audience is assem-
bled an hour before the broadcast,
with the principal radio talks goae
over ahead of time. Before the mike
Is turned on, the noisy and argu-
mentative listeners are weeded out.
The meetings are held for those
American citizens who vote and
think independently, Denny says. He
thinks that this 20 per cent con-
trols all elections and constitutes the
intellectual leadership of the nation.
The Town Hall moderator believes
democracy can work—if this leader-
riilp potential is-developed and made

ejection of the disciples. Were they
downhearted? No! for the joy of
the Lord filled their Holy Spirit-filled
lives. Being filled with the Spirit
means being filled with joy, even in
the midst of persecution.
It really works! Have you given
God a chance to prove it in your
life?
III. Neither Jew nor Greek (Gal.
3:26, 27).
This selection from the letter
which Paul wrote some ten years
later to the people of the area in
which he had now preached reveals
the same truth, that faith in Christ
is primary—aiyl essential—in Chris-
tian experience.
In this early life we recognize
distinctions based on nationality,
sex, social position, and many other
grounds. While these are overem-
phasized by most people, they are
legitimate and necessary distinc-
tions. But in Christ—ah! there the
differences disappear. We are all
one in Him (v. 28). This is a lesson
which we have not learned even yet,
but our slowne f heart and mind
does not alter Goa’s truth.
The church is talking much these
days about ecumenicity, which in
plain words means the unity of the
people of the various branches oi the
church all over the world. All too
eften, however, the proposed basis
of unity rests on a surrender or a
partial surrender of what Paul de-
clares to be the essential (the sine
qua non if you wish), which is faith
in the LordAjesus Christ. No other
unity but that which centers in*FIim,
and a personal relationship to Him,
is suflicierrt either for this life or for
the life to come.

God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footstep in the sea
And rides upon the storm.
