In the apostolic age the Christians of Palestine were more straitened than other churches, and this might be from their being assailed with every sort of oppres- sion by the Jews. The activity of Paul in taking np collections on their behalf is evident fh)m what is said in Acts xxiv, 17 ; Bom. xv, 26, 26; 2 Cor. viii and ix, and €kd. ii, 10. For this purpose the apostle, in 1 Cor. xvi, 2, says, " Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store as Gk)d hath prosper^ him." The reason why this day was ap- pointed fbr this purpose seems to be that, by the early Christians, the first day of the week was observed as the Sabbath of the Lord ; and consequently, as on that day they commemorated that which formed the great bond of union between them and other Christians, it was the most suitable occasion for their displaying their love in the way prescribed, and also the time when they would be most liberal (1 Cor. xvi, 1-8).
