An obselete cry tal set was installed to serve the ship on the way over, as the captain was anxious to check up on the ship's chronometer to learn if it was re- Nable. Marks savs he was able to hear the time from Arlington only the first night, and continues: “ilere is where KDKA proved of value for other than for entertain- ment purposes. The second night I tuned for any of the stations sending the signals, with, I confess, little hope of hearing them on my crystal set., I had a plensant thrili and surprise when KDKA came through clear, both the announcement and the time signals. “I wish to add that not only did T hear KDKA that night, but each night thereafter until within one day of the Azores, from where the signals from Eiffel Tower's high-powered station ne in This is a_distance of over 00 miles, which I consider rather remarkable for a_crystal set, consider- ing it was no freak, but consistent work."

Golden text: The multitude of them that believed were of one heart and soul.—Acts iv Antagonism against the early church quickly followed.the healing of the cripple at the “‘Beautiful Gate." The friction developed from the teach- ing of Peter and John in the temple. The priests were provoked by & spirit of jealousy at the apostles usurping their officlal prerogative of preaching in the temple. The captain of the temple was aroused by the danger of a_riot within the sacred precincts, where he was required to preserve order. The Sadducees were indignant at. the apostles’ teachings concerning the resurrection of the dead, which they denied, but Peter and John de. clared had taken place in connection with Jesus. Friction between these forces and the early church resuited in the im. prisonment of Peter and John. This was the first step of the separation of Christianity from Judafsm. In its beginning, the members of the church looked upon their fellowship as a re- form group within their national faith. The apostles and all the members of the early church were Hebrews and devout worshipers in the temple Their religious zeal stirred them up to stricter faithfulness in observing all the ordinances of the Jewish law. thereby winning f¢ themselves the approval of the Pharisees. When the two apostles appeared before the Sanhedrin. which had tried Christ, the attitude of these men sur prised the court. The poise and conr age of the two men, whom they looked upon as being “unlearned and ignorant men.” surprised the Sanhe. drin, who were at a loss as to how they should proceed against them. They did not take up the teachings that had caused the apostles’ arrest because they evidently did not desire to consider the evidence that would have been presented to prove the resurrection of Christ Jesus. The fishermen were too much for the cun- ning members of the court, who sought to silence their preaching without giving any condemnation of their healing ministry. Contempt of Court. Peter had risked the danger of be- ing condemned for sorcery by his de- fense that through Chr Jesu whom they had crucified and who had risen, he had cured the lame man. His unpremeditated and impromptu defense revealed a devotion to his Lord, that ought to have warned the Sanhedrin from trying to stop the apostles’ . preaching, which they de manded of both Peter and John. Al though Christ had recognized the authority of the Sanhedrin. the apostles” by their refusal to ept with meekness and cringing thankful ness the decision of the nation's highést religious authority, risked being tried for contempt of court, when they announced their decision. In making thel ing God rather than men, they stated the fundamental principles of re. ligous liberty. They anpealed to the judges to decide a point of conscience, when th asked them to settle whether it was right for them to dis- regard God in obeving men. They oxhibited the spirit of the martyrs and the ministers of Christ, who are moved to be obedient to the will of their Lord rather than to follow the edicts of men. The attitude of the Sanhedrin served to warn the disci- Dles of the rapidly approaching dan- ger of persecution and being denied the privileges of the temple. This can he seen in the praver that they offered, when they went to their own company and reported what the ¢ourt had done. In the decision of the Sanhedrin and the apostles one can see the evi- dence that gave religious freedom to the five thousand followers of the risen Christ from the direction of the Great Council. 1In their decision to be independent of the Sanhedrin's \uthority, the church experienced a spiritual blessing, that made them an invineible organization. Facing a com- mon peril, the church became one un- der the pressure of opposition. The spiritual unity revealed itself in a oneness of heart, and spirit. It was this spiritual oneness that made suc cessful the experiment of the Mother Church in Jerusalem of an economic brotherhood, which leveled the in- | | rgument for obey- | | | equalities of fortune by their practic- ing » community of wealth. Jesus and His disciples during His public ministry had lived as one family. It was natural for the church, when it had been fused into a spiritual unity through the Holy Spirit_and when they faced a com- mon danger, to have “all things com- mon.” None of them sald that their property was their own, as they had a'right to do, but voluntarily those who had property sold their posses- sions and made donations of the pro- ceeds to the church treasury and they all lived out of a common fund. Every social reformer has been in- spired in his hopes for a new social order by the experience of the Jeru- salem Church. It would not have been successful there, if there had not existed a spiritual unity as a founda- tion for the economic action of the Church, which did not make commun- ism a doctrine of the early Church or adopt it in any of the other Churches. It was not compulsory, but developed out of the needs of the poor, who were so numerous in the Jerusalem Church that afd was solicited for them by the Apostle Paul from all of his missionary chufches. The practice of communism by the Jerusalem church can not be interpreted as an approval of any modern socialistic or commu- nistic program. It was local, tem- porary, and voluntary. It reveals the leveling power of the spirit of brotherhood, which when adopted by any economic or social program wiil insure that it will possess the spirit of Christianit. The church has prepared to stand the strain of expulsion, excommunica. tion, and experience the trial of so. cial ostracism, scourging, imprison. ment, and persecution through their love of Christ and one another. Joseph, the Cyprian Levite, whose generous heart and spirit of consola tion resulted in his being called Bar- nabas, disposed of his estate and re- vealed the deaths of his faith by in- trusting all the proceeds of the sale of his land with the Apostles to be used for the benefit of all. His gener- ous action inspired others to do like- wise. Luke records the name of one couple who conspired to commit a sin against the Holy Spirit. The heinous- ness of their hypocrisy and their pun- ishment ought to serve as a warning to all the folloavers of Jesus Christ. Heinous Hypocrites. In every human organization there is always some weakness. The church in Jerusalem was no exception. While many without doubt would be prompted to follow the example of Burnal there probably would not be many who after the Lord had ad- ministered His disciplinary measures that condemned the covetousness of Ananias and his wife, who agreed to keep back part of the sale’s returns and give the balance to the church for the relief fund, pretending that it was zll that they had recelved The exposure of their hypoc punishment for lying not unto men, but unto the Holy Ghost, served to testify that God was with His church, It is evident that our Lord desired to keep His church free from having within its fold any unspiritual mem: bers. He does not wish to have His people to be marred by the sins of conceit, ambition, covetousness, or For the first time in Acts, we have His followers called the church. His high ideals for His people are revealed in the drastic surgery He committed, when through declsive and divine strokes both Ananias and his wife were removed by immediate death for Iying not to the assembled churck but to the Holy Ghost. Thera never has been a time from that day to this that the church did not meed the lesson taught by the punishment of the guilty pair. All of the financlal troubles of our churches, bengvolent and missionary organiza: tions would disappear if we had within the lern churches the spirit that dominated _the life of the early church, when “the multitude of them that belleved were of one heart and one soul *# * and had all things com- mon.” If in obedlence to the Hol Spirit, the membership of the Chris tian churches would dedicate not all but a tenth to the Master's cause, there would be no financial problems in any of our churches, benevolent or missionary work. If under the pressure of danger the early church gave so generously ought we not to respond out of love for Christ and give until the needs of humanity have been met and the spirit of brother- hood has permeated all nations. y and B.
