Went.rn Nt-vespapvr Union) LESSON FOR JANUARY 11 PETER and JOHN HEAL A LAME MAN. 1 ’ ■‘-ON TEXT-Acts J. 1 | I.HICN TEXT—Freely ye have rer‘ i. freely give.—Matt. Jus. 1 I'ITIONAL MATERIAL—Matt. 10:7, »■ -v. irk 1:29-34; Luke 4:40; John 14:2; 1 Peter 4:11. iARV TOPIC—A Lame Man Made JI X’lOK TOPlC—Peter and John at the 1 uniful Gate. INTEI- MEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPlC—Faith and a Helping Hand. The indications are that some tin nths had elapsed since Pentecost. The believers were being taught by the apostles, who were showing their credentials by their mighty works (2:43). I. The Lame Man Healed (vv. 1-11). 1. The occasion (v. 1). Peter and ! John were going to the house of worI ship. They were going up to Jerusa--1 letn to worship though they knew full "ell the corruptions of Judaism. What is needed today is not separation from denominational bodies so much as for those who know the Lord and the higher things of the Christian life to help load those who lack these tilings , into the better way. 2. The place (v. 2). It was at th. beautiful gate which led from the outer to the Inner court of the temple. This man was placed at the entrance of the place —of worship, because ■ w here man comes closest to God he also conies closest to his fellow man. Human instinct is quick to discern tills. Beggars are seldom found at doers of theaters and infidel lecture . halls. 3. The man (vv. 2. 3). This beggar ' wa < infirm from his birth. 4. The method (vv. 4-8). (1) Gained the man’s attention (v. 4). Peter and John commanded him to look on them. Having secured his attention they gave him m<,re than he asked or expected , He asked for money and got healing. ’ (2.) Peter commanded him tn the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to rise up and walk (v. 6). This was the very thing he had been unable to do for so many years. Was not this mocking bls very impotcncy 7 No! No! It was in the name of Jesus. With the commandment went the ability to do. (3.) Peter took him by the right hand (v. 7). This act was meant to give impetus to his faith, not strength to his ankles. (4.) The man’s response (v. 8). Sir -ngth came to his feet and ankle bones at once. He stood, he walked, he leaped and shouted praise to God Ho thoroughly advertised the miracle. He ascribed the honor to God for his healing and walked into the house ot God. The one who has experienced the life of Christ will surely make it manifest. 5. The effect (vv. 9-11). The people were filled with wonder and amazement. The multitude ran together to s-e this wonderful thing. There was no question as to the genuineness of the miracle, for this man was a familiar figure for many years. This mhacle may be regarded ns a parable set.ing forth the work of the church iiu the world. (1.) The helpless beggar hail to be carried to the temple gate. Men and women out of Christ are spiritually helpless; they need to be brought where the life of God can be applied to them. We should bring sinners to Christ. (2.) Taking him by the hand shows the manner of the Christian’s help. 11. Peter Witnessing of Jesus Christ Before the Multitude (vv. 12-2<>). This miracle focused the attention , of tlie people upon Peter and John. Peter immediately turned their attention from himself to Christ. This is most unlike the claimants to divine power today. Disclaiming power of his own. he seized the opportunity to preach Christ to the people who had a- 'lidded. He told them it was faith in Jesus Christ, whom the God of their fathers had glorified, whom they had deliberately delivered up and denied before Pilate when he desired to set him free, and that they desired a murderer to be granted freedom instead. He showed that the disciples were also witnesses that God had raised Jesus from the dead, and charged home upon them their nwfuf guilt; for they had denied the holy one and the just, and chosen Barabbas, a murderer, instead of Christ, and killed the Prince of Life lie appealed to them to repent (v. 19). telling them that they had committed tins awful crime in ignorance, God would pardon their sin if they would repent. He assured them that Israel would yet enjoy refreshing ■seasons from the Lord, when God should send Jesus Christ back to earth to consummate the work of redemption. He appealed to the Scriptures as the basis of his warnings and promises (vv. Z2-2G). Service of Life. Life should be treasured by nsefmnCss. as it is to serve the world this, we are entitled to live in It. And i after all service, well and faithfully i performed, brings the only real h.i;.pines-; all the outward pomp and i;i- ; rig-nin of rank are but badges of service. “Not to he ministered unto, hut to minister." not to bo served, but to servo, is ilie utterance of the highest rutlio’rit.v in spiritual tuai’ers. H was a most interesting object lesson that Jcouts gave his disciples when hu washed their feet.

Missouri’s leaning toward the “doubtful’’ column also will influence committeemen, Missouri democrats believe. With the Democratic national convention in Missouri many votes will be swung to that ticket,they assert. St. Louis will also point out that the national convention nominating Woodrow Wilson for re-electien was held here.
