150:3.1 The [[Sabbath]] services of the apostolic party had been put in the hands of the [[women]] by [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]], upon instructions from [[Jesus]]. This meant, of course, that they could not be held in the new [[synagogue]]. The [[women]] selected Joanna to have charge of this occasion, and the meeting was held in the banquet room of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herod_Antipas Herod]'s new palace, Herod being away in residence at Julias in Perea. Joanna read from the [[Scriptures]] concerning [[woman]]'s work in the [[religious]] life of [[Israel]], making [[reference]] to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miriam Miriam], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deborah Deborah], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esther Esther], and others.

150:3.2 Late that evening [[Jesus]] gave the [[united]] [[group]] a memorable [[talk]] on " [[Magic]] and [[Superstition]]. " In those days the [[appearance]] of a bright and supposedly new [[star]] was regarded as a token indicating that a great man had been [[born]] on [[earth]]. Such a star having then recently been [[observed]], [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] asked [[Jesus]] if these [[beliefs]] were well founded. In the long answer to [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]]'s question [[the Master]] entered upon a thoroughgoing [[discussion]] of the whole subject of [[human]] [[superstition]]. The [[statement]] which [[Jesus]] made at this time may be summarized in [[modern]] phraseology as follows:
