Golden text: “They rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how He had opened the door of faith unto the gen- tiles—Acts, xiv.27, In the two parables, assigned for our devotional reading the Lord Jesus re- vealed the rise, progress and method | of the kingdom’s development. He | prophesied that, commencing with an insignificant number, it" would ulti- mately girdle the globe and become supreme in molding* the nations of the earth. Starting with a smallness like the mustard seed, which is the “least of all seeds” it was to develop secretly by a gradual process that would succeed in transforming the character of men and nations through the spiritual life of its adherents being | molded in their thought, speech and until the power of Christ would become dominant and supreme throughout the world. Our lessons for the quarter have shown us how in" the spread of Chris- tianity throughout the western part of Asia and Cyprus these two parables commenced to be fulfilled. In our first study we learned how the invisible energy of the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples, who had waited in the upper room and prayed to be endowed with power from on high. Immediately there began the evidence of growth and the conquest of the world was started. In the opening days of the history of Christianity it was looked upon as a strictly Jewish sect, but one of the results that followed the great ingathering at Pentecost, when 3,000 | were added to the number of disciples, | was the admission of many Jews who ! had been born, reared and educated away from Palestine. These Hellenists had a larger vision than the Pales- tinian Hebrews, due to their education and experience. They apparently were the first to fully grasp Christ'’s pro- gram to establish & universal kingdom that would include all nations. Social Service. Pilled with -the Spirit, Peter and John noticed a beggar seeking alms at the entrance to the Temple. They recalled how their Lord had sought to cure all forms of s. They did not consider that their work was mere- ly a spiritual work, for they healed | the lame beggar. resulted in the people seeking an _explanation, so Peter preached & stirring sermon. The crowds listened with intense and grow- ing numbers, so that they were ar- rested, imprisoned and brought before the Sanhedrin, who ordered them not to preach the gospel any more. They, with a courage born of their convic- tions, bravely informed the court that they would obey God rather than man. The admission of these Hellenists into the membership brought a severe strain upon the membership, who felt their responsibility to help, aid and assist those who were in need. Many of those won at Pentecost probably stayed in Jerusalem to learn more about Christ and become thoroughly familiar with the gospel of the Lord Jesus. The apostles met the com- plaint of these foreign-speaking Jews that their widows were being over- looked in the distribution of the dole given from the church’s relief fund by ; suggesting the election of deacons to take charge and distribute the fellow- ship funds. Stephen heads the list of the seven selected, all of whom were apparently by their names Hellenists. His preaching in one l;( g;‘e' rorelgn-| speaking s of rist as a Savior for all men, resulted in his | b;oomgnz the first martyr of the church. Persecution Increases Membership. ‘Three of our lessons revealed the re- sults of the persecutions of the early church, which broke out after the mar- tyrdom of Stephen. One of those who took an active part in the death of Stephen, was Sajl, an earnest, enthu- siastic and energetic champion of the faith of his fathers, who opposed strenu- cusly the new faith, which he saw con- tained seeds destructive to the ancient, historic faith of ‘his countrymen. He was the moving force in persecuting the church, with the result that the mem- bers were “scattered abroad throughout | the regicn of Judea and Samaria,” and wherever they went they preached the gospel. Christianity was commencing to demonstrate the indestructiveness of its | life, for the persecuted members car- ried the message of saivation “as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch. Philip, who st-od by Stephen and evi- dently succeeded him as the chairman of the board of deacons, carried the light of the gospel into Samaria, where he had great success among these peo- ple, who had welcomed Christ’s word, when He reached the whole city through the missionary work of one woman, whom He won at the well of Sychar. Moved by the Spirit, Philip left the city- | wide revival and went down into a sparsely scttled section of Palestine, | where, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, Philip succceded in gluing” himself to the chariot of a prominent | government official, whom he won for | Christ and baptized, so that in the | conversion of the devout treasurer the | gospel was introduced into Africa. | Saul’s conversion when he was cn the way to Damascus tp destroy the young church there stands out as one of the great events in the early history of Christianity. It demonstrated the power of the living Christ to protect His | Church. Jesus assigned him a task of winning the gentiles for His cause and kingdom. Missionary Work Commenced. The establishment of the gospel as a spiritual force among the gentiles re- | sulted from Peter’s vision while in Joppa | that prepared him to respond favorably to the request that Here, as the guest of Cornelius, he saw in the home of the Roman centurion a demonstration of the power of the Holy Spirit, so that he opened the door of the church of the Living God to the gentile The work of some la: @atholic evangelists he visit Cesarea. | THE EVENING Sunday School Lesson y Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson. started a church composed of ‘Greeks in Antioch that attracted the attention of the authorities in Jerusalem. They sent Barnabas to investigate conditions. He summoned Saul to help him develop this work. Their ministry of teaching resulted in a great spiritual growth within the church and an enlargement of its membership. They raised a large relief fund from these Greek Christians to aid the Jerusalem church in caring for their poor. These gifts were sent by a special delegation to Jerusalem. Upon their return the Holy Spirit placed upon the church a sense of their obligation to engage in missionary work, which resulted in the setting apart of Barna- bas and Saul. We studied their mis- sionary success in Cyprus, Antioch of Pisidia, Iconium, Lystra and Derbe. ‘While engaged in the work of win- ning Asia Minor for Christ they found that their efforts were criticized by cer- tain_Jews, who insisted that all the gentile converts had to be circumcised to be saved. Paul and Barnabas op- posed placing this burden upon the gentiles. Reaching Antioch and re- porting the success that had attended their missionary work, their efforts were again challenged on the same ground. This question was referred to Jerusa- lem," with the result that at the first council this question was settled. Upon the advice of the feaders the attitude ot Paul and Barnabas was approved by a unanimous decision that did not men- tion circumcision, but opened the door for the reception of the gentiles without imposing upon them the requirements of the Mosaic law, except in a fow mat- ters that would be helpful to their spir- itual life. ‘This battle for freedom was the basis of the letter to the Galatians, which we studied for our quarter's temperance lesson. ‘This decision made Chrisianity a world-wide religion, just as Jesus had planned in His great commission to His followers. The indestructible power of the spiritual life revealed itself in the early thurch overcoming the handicaps and restrictions that men placed in the path of its progress. Its growth became evident and the program of Christ, re- vealed in His parables assigned for our devotional reading, became a reality. EVANGELICAL CHURCH OPENS FALL PROGRAM Rev.
