| ('reamed i B Comments “|' on P } Creamed Comments on the Sun- ’ day School Lesson, The Fellowship of Christian Believers, Acta 2:37-' 47; Ephesians 4:1-6 for Sunday, February 22. God has made us social beings with a natural desire for fellowship with others. God has provided a plan of satisfying every desire he gave man, hence there sprung up a Christian fellowship out of which has come the Church. V. 37. “Now when the}’ heard this, they were pricked in their hearts, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Men and Brethren, what shall we do?’’ Peter had finished a sermon delivered with boldness. declaring in no unmistakable terms that Christ was the Messiah whom they had crucified; he had been filled with the Holy Ghost and was a pentecostal preacher. It was the truths that convicted the sinners; something had to be done about; each one today mus.t do I something about Jesus and the tru- | ths he taught. i V. 38 Then Peter said unto them, I Repent, and be baptized, every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” There is no substitute for repentance. The cause for repentance is sin-any violation of God’s will and no adult can claim being innocent for “We have all sinned and come short of the glory of God.’ All sin is against God the just penalty of -which is death unless our sins are remitted: for this cause Christ died. V. 39. “For the promise is unto you and to your children, and to iall them that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.” Not only is remission of ein i offered but the power of the Holy Spirit enabling one to live as a child of God. V.ll. "Then they that gladly received his word were baptized; and tlie same day there were added un- ; to them about three thousand souls. The plan of salvation worked in Christ’s day and it works today. The only way to build church

Oup Preacher When sickness enters a family the question of an entire surrender to God making His will first comes to the fore. There is a deepening spiritual experience that follows which lessens of eliminates self and gives a new outlook ou life. What a pity that men do not make this surrender when there is no sickness in the family and live more for others and the God who created them and has so abundantly blessed us!

membership is to get people converted. The important appeal is "Come to Christ", the appeal, “Come to Church” is secondary. V. 42. “And they continued steadfastly the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship and in the breaking of bread and in prayers.” Here is the plan of being faithful to Christ. One ■ needs to be an.earnest seeker of > the truth which is to be lived as - fait as it is received; Christians will find help in close association such as the Church affords; communion with each other and with Grd and giving a large place to prayer are essential. V. 43. “And fear came upon every soul; and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.” “The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom..’’ Many of the wonders of God through his fqllowers have never been published. Vs 44,45 And all that believed were together, and had all things common; and sold their possessions and goods and parted them to all men, as every man had need.” The practical side of Christianity is to share God’s blessings with those in need. , V. 46. “And they continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house did eat their bread with -gladness and singleness of heart." Those early Christians honored God’s I house by their-presence but did not | stop at that; they visited and did needed personal work, the best Christian way of getting the world converted. V. 47. "Praising God,'and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added daily such as should be saved.” They did not ask God to accept their gratitude for granted ’ but gave verbal expressions of gratitude; by such Christian witnessing many were converted. V.l. “I. therefore, the prisoner of 1 the Lord beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vacation wherewith ‘ ye were called.” A man’s first and , chief vocation is to serve the Lord. Vs. 2,3, “With all lowliness and meekness, with long-euffering, forbearing one another in love; endeavouring to keep the unity of the , Spirit in the bond of peace.” Here ' are important, duties and attitudes; in all humility, willingness to suffer and watchfulness in not hurting another are important as well as keeping hamony among all men.

1. Because we don’t know the truth about other groups. 2. Because we have pictures-in -the-head about other groups which are false. 3. Because we think a whole group is like a few of its bad actors we know or hear about. 4. Because we listen to gossip and rumors which are spread by propagandists for their own profit and power. 5. Because we blame other people for our troubles and failures. 6. Because we are afraid that others ers may grab our jobs or outvote us or drag down our neighborhoods. 7. Because we are so cocky about our own groups that we think all others are no good. This is a quotation from a booklet published by the National Educational Association on prejudice. O Lesson Prayer Lesson prayer; We are grateful for the power of truth that will prick hearts of men; we are grateful for a remedy for souls that are penitent; we praise God that sinners can be made whole again and endued with power enabling them to serve the Lord acceptably. Grant that this program of God manifested in Christ may be our -program that the world may be saved. —o Trade In a Good Town — Decatur
