- -A Year's Teaching in Antioch. I
When God was about to launch the 1
missionary enterprise among the Gen
c tiles, lie arranged for at new religious 1
center. Antioch was admirably ,
adapted for such a center. The upper *
classes were Greeks and used the ,
Greek language. The government t
officials were Itomaus and used the
Latin tongue. WJle the masses were
Syrians. sprinkhle, ammng them were
Jews who had come for commercial
purposes; also travellers from all parts I
of the world were in evidence.
I. A Religious Awakening at Antioch
(vv. 19-21).
1. The occasion (v. 19a). The perse
cution at Jerusalem scattered the
disciples abroad. This God permitted i
SI order to separate them from the t
home people at Jerusalem. i
2. The preachers (v. 19a). They
were ordinary men and women, not I
officials. but they were filled with the
yearning desire for lost souls and
witnessed of the Lord Jesus In the
power of the Holy Ghoot.
8. What they preached (vv. 19b,
20). They preached the "Word" and t
the "Lord Jesus" All who preach the
i it Word will preach the Lord Jesus;
Pory for He is its center. The real reason
tical why there are not conversions today
ex. Is the failure of ministers to preach
the the Word.
n of 4. To whom they preached (vv. 19, I
s at 2I), (1) Some of these disciples
out who were scattered because of perse
bet cuation went among the Jews only with
Unli the gospel message. They had not
the yet come to see that the gospel I
purpose was wider than the Jews. (2) 1
Sde Some preached to the Grecians also.
eory These were from Africa and Cyprus
Rob They were further removed from the
iser Jewish center, and therefore were a
rslcs little more liberaL The success of
their preaching was so great that the
news of it reached Jerusalem, the
ity,* mother church.
rally II. Sarnabas Sent to Inspect tie
that Work at Antieoch (vv. 22-24).
ion This was a wise selection.
thr. L The character of Barnabas (v.
lero 24). He was a good man. It is
I - highly Important in sending a man
ailed to follow up a work of the Spirit that
his character be good. He not only must
inted be of an unblemished character, but
Sthis sympathies must be broad. He
frth must be capable of entering into full
a be appreciation of the things about him.
r the Much mischief often results from
suse sending Injudicious men to look after
tln the Lord's work. He was full of the
rotor Holy Spirit. This an essential
S qualification for pastoral work. Only
etet a pirit-filled man can appreciate the
rface workings of the Spirit of God. He
Sbe was also a man of great faith.
t 2. Work done by Barnabas (v. 28).
a He gladly endorsed the work and
b earnestly ehorted them to steatdfastly
S cotlnue in thie faith, elnlaaglng unto
the Lord. There are many allarements
to tempt young Crisians.l The re
Sjoeulg of peabas sh ows that he
was a man who could rejoice In the
work et others He did more than

a the were added into the Lord. Doubt
less he prneched.

The same standard of purity, strength
and excellence is maintained in every
bottle of Swamp-Root.
It is scientifically compounded from i
vegetable herbs. wt
It is not a stimulant and is taken ia
teaspoonful doses. Ito
It is not recommended for everything. tri
It is nature's great helper in relieving sIa
and overcoming kidney, liver and blad

A sworn statement of purity is with h)
every bottle of Dr. r:ner's Swamp
