398 THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES ing tlie city wMcli had rejected and slain the Son of God, and over which now hung the threatenings of divine wrath. Eemembering how bitter had been his own prejudice against the followers of Christ, he felt the deepest pity for his deluded countrjTiien. And yet how little could he hope that he would be able to help them! The same blind wrath which had once burned in his own heart, was now with untold power kindling the hearts of a whole nation against him. And he could not count upon the sympathy and support of even his own brethren in the faith. The unconverted Jews who had followed so closely upon his track, had not been slow to circulate the most unfavorable reports at Jerusalem, both personally and by letter, concerning him and his work; and some, even of the apostles and elders, had received these reports as truth, making no attempt to contradict them, and manifesting no desire to harmonize with him. Yet in the midst of discouragements, the apostle was not in despair. He trusted that the Voice which had spoken to his own heart would yet speak to the hearts of his countnTxien, and that the Master whom his fellow-disciples loved and served would 3^et unite their hearts with his in the work of the gospel.
