PRIMARY TOPIC—A Story About Giving JlNton TOPIC—How the First Christians Loved One Another. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—How tha Early Christiana Lived Together. YOIiNQ PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPlC—Lesson From the Early Church. I. Characteristics of the Primitive Church (vv. 31-35). 1. It Was a Praying Church (v. 81). These early Christians for every want and every need betook themj selves to God In prayer. I 2. It Wus a Spirit filled Church (▼. 31). When they prayed, the place waa shaken wherein they were gathered together, and they were all tilled with the Holy Spirit 3. It Was a Church Which Had (treat Boldness in Preaching the Word of God (v. 31). The mlniaters of a Spirit-filled church will not offer any apology for the Bible, hut will expend all their energy in fearlessly preaching It. 4. It Was a United Church (v. 32). ■ They were all of one heart and one soul. This shows that they had a unity of feeling and purpose. 5. It Wns a Charitable and Generous Church (v. 32). They held nothing back front those who had need. As needs arose, stip- : plies w ere given from a common fund. t*. Its Ministers Had a Powerful Testimony (v.^ik'l). This shows that there must he a personal experience before there cau be a powerful testimony. 7. It Was a Church Whose Membership Exhibited Unblemished Character (v. 83). Great grace was upon them all. It. Barnabas’ Generous Act (vv. 36-37).

He sold a piece of land and turned 1 over all the proceeds thereof to he used for the help of those iu need, it should be borne In mind, however, that It Is not said that Barnabas sold all the land lie had. 111. The Sanctity of the Church Vindicated (5:1-11). This new community is now for the first time called the church. The mention of the church in Acts 2:47 is spu- , rious. They now have broken with Judaism so that their success depends upon their being recognized. Since this new community superseded the old, God was to make His dwelling [dace among them —the very sacredness of the tabernacle and temple was transferred to them. This lesson, th« church itself must learn, as well as the Jewish mass .surrounding it. Thu sacredness of God's dwelling place men are slow to learn. Moses did not take off his shoes until bidden by tha Lord. Nadab and Abihu must b« stricken down In the beginning oft Tia Mosaic economy for their presumptuous offering of strange fire befonu the I,nrd. Achan was put to death for secreting a part of the booty soon after entering the promised land. So at the beginning of the church, this w arning was needed on the part of tha church to prevent the hypocrisy of double service. 1. The Occasion Which Brought This Oreadful Judgment on Ananias and Sapphira (w. 1-4). It was their hypocritical imitation of the generous act of Barnabas. He and his wife conspired together in this defiance of God. They wanted the honor without paying the price. The same love of praise is causing many In the church today to imitate their dreadful mistake. Feter told them they had not lied to men, hut to God. So far as we know Ananias did not speak a word, but his actions spoke louder than his words. Such actions 'could only he accounted for by the fact that Satan filled their hearts. But that did not excuse them. They were ' responsible for allowing Satan a place iin their hearts. We should learn from this that God and mammon cannot be’ served at the same time. People to-! 'day are walking in the way of Anar * nias when they sit down at the Lord's. table with unregenerate hearts. , 2. The Judgment Which Fell (vv. 610). j . Both Ananias and Sapphira fell down dead and the young men carried them away for burial. 3. Great Fear Came Upon the f Church (v. 11). This vindication caused the people , to know that God was with them, and It also kept the hypocrites from joining with them (v. 13). Let us he- ! ware! Prcsistence of Life I Strange, isn’t it, that marvelous ppr-| ! slstence of life! But that is away j that life has. We speak of it soraeI times as very fleeting and transitory, 1 and yet there are so mauy thing 1 about us, after all, that are very hard ! to kill. - Y<eers Shall Come No More ; God washes the eye* by tears unti they can behold the invisible land where tears shall come no more.—H W.
