230 THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES nor Silas. And ''when they found them not/^ the mob, in their mad disappointment, ''drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying. These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also ; whom Jason hath received : and these all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus." As Paul and Silas were not to be found, the magistrates put the accused believers under bonds to keep the peace. Fearing further violence, "the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea." Those who to-day teach unpopular truths need not be discouraged if at times they meet with no more favorable reception, even from those who claim to be Christians, than did Paul and his fellowworkers from the people among whom they labored. The messengers of the cross must arm themselves with watchfulness and prayer, and move forward with faith and courage, working always in the name of Jesus. They must exalt Christ as man's mediator in the heavenly sanctuary, the One in whom all the sacrifices of the Old Testament dispensation centered, and through whose atoning sacrifice the transgressors of God's law may find peace and pardon.
