So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle: Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation. And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.
Most of his pieces were written in the dialect of his ancestors, which was well understood by his neighbors and friends, the only audience upon which he could venture to calculate. He loved all old things, old language, old customs, old theology. In a rhyming letter to his cousin Silas, he says:
Freddie, Alice, and Euphemia Caldwell, reading from left to right, were consigned in the care of the conductor to Silas Caldwell, Painsville, Ohio. Alice had her arms around Freddie and Euphemia, and her pretty head was bent first to one and then to the other. Mr. Holiday seated himself gently behind the trio, and listened for some time.
"You've flushed now," said she. When they came round to the front of the house they found Colonel Grangerson and Miss Pinckney coming down the steps. They were going to the garden in search of Phyl. "We've been looking at the horses," said Silas, after he had greeted Miss Pinckney.
And when Silas and Timothy were come from Macedonia, Paul felt a strong impulse on his spirit, and forcibly testified to the Jews, that Jesus was the Messiah. But as they continued opposing and blaspheming, he shook his garments, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am pure from it: from this moment will I go to the Gentiles.

There was no further opportunity for conversation, as they heard Silas and Carter on the step and a third party hail them from a distance. There was a moment's delay and when the door did at last open Elizabeth Farnshaw gave a glad cry: "Uncle Nate! Where in the world did you come from?"
Silas pressed it to him, and almost unconsciously uttered sounds of hushing tenderness, while he bethought himself that some of his porridge, which had got cool by the dying fire, would do to feed the child with if it were only warmed up a little. He had plenty to do through the next hour.
"I live across the sea," Luke told his three friends Paul, Silas and Timothy stretching his hand out towards the north. "I live," he would say proudly, "in the greatest city of all Macedonia Philippi. It is called after the great ruler Philip of Macedonia."
