fcreamedal I Comments JM ii LesftonAffiM Creamed comments on the Bunday school lesson, The Power of the Holy Spirit, John 14:7-11; Acts 2:1-4; 4:8-12, for Sunday, January 28. The power of CM, the Father, was men in creation ant the Old Testament events; the power of God, the Son, was seen in the life and work of Jeans on earth; the power of God, the Spirit, began with Christ's ascension. The Spirit. the third param of the trinity, is invisible but real in the salvation of men and in the development of the kingdom of God. V.7. “Nevertheless, I tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that I go away; for U 1 go not away, the Comforter wiU not come unto you." The work of the Spirit was to apply the atonement which was hot completed til! the end of Christ’s life Jews' life and work would bo better understood after he bod gene and the Spirit came; the blessing of Christ's presence was changed tar a greater Warning Ip the work 6f the Spirit who coaid be everywhere present. VU.B-1L “And when be hi com*, he will reprove the world of sin. and of righteousness and es judgment” To reprove is to convict which la the firn step in salvation. Any violation of God’s lawn is sin in general. But the sin of sins is the rejection of Christ As to righteousness, Jesus knew that ho was innocent when tried and crucified; the Spirit would remove all charges of his guilt and He has ddne it so well that his righteousness today is an established fact. The judgment in its primary sense, is a matter of discrimination between good and evil and in view of this the evil one will be judged. The key to getting people converted Is to give the Holy Spirit a chance to work through us. _ V.l. "And when the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord tn one place." Thia was a one-day feast called "the feast ofjhe weeks. - m efples, with possibly the ISO others especially called, were in prayer and deep devotion; while thus engaged something happened. V. 2. “And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing, mighty wind, and it filled all

the house where they wore sittings." So great sad Important was the comjng of the Spirit that the emphasis is beet expressed in the words of the text. It is the sound and not the wind that came down from above and every one present was mightily Impressed. J VJ. “And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each one of them.” These physical appearances were emblems. The appearance of fire portrayed the divinity of God in the Spirit; the cloven tongues were emblem of a divine message. In this experience all enjoyed alike. V.L "And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues aa the Spirit gala them utterance." The emblems had now disappeared for the fulfillment of truth was so overwhelmingly expressed that the meaning was understood. V.t. “Thea Peter filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them. Ye rulers of the people and elders of Is tool:" Peter whose coafrasioh of Christ brought the explanation “Upon thia rock I will build my church," now took his appointed place. Vs.S.lt. ’lf we this day be examftnpdt^jft’ 4! ttan,'T>y what*tneahs "fib te made whole: be ft known unto ail of Israel that by the name of Jeans Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand before you whole." The ministry of healing is in God’s program of the church. Aa to their spiritual welfare, Peter spoke the words of conricUen “whom ye persecuted” and the explanation la the power of the resurrected Christ. The Spirit gave the power that turned the weak, denying Peter late a courageous preacher. From now on he was a Holy Ghost preacher. V4l. "This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which lias become the head of the comer.” There is no dodging the issue, all of life, individually, socially, nationally, is to be based on Jesus. , V. 12. “Neither is there salvation in any other;. tor there is none' other name under heaven given among men. wherein we must be saved.” ChrteJigpity is the only religion in the world that transforms character and saves a soul. —Based on copyrighted outlines produced by the Division of Christian Education, National Council of the Churches of Christ in the UA.A., and used by permission.

A new federal tax law permits business corporations to give 5 percent of their net income to beuevolenoes before taxes; they have been giving 1 percent Individuals may give up to IS percent, of their income; they have been giving less than 2 percent. It is the estimate of the foundation that the new tax provisions make available for philanthropic purposes over two billion dollars from corporate sources and about twenty billion dollars from individuals. Pledges or promises of gifts are not sufficient to comply with the taw; the gifts must be made outright before Dec. 31st. The eyes that see clearest have been bathed in tears. Strong and fierce words are the sign of weakness.—-Hugo.

The Monroe Doctrine Obsolete During the administration ot President Monroe a situation arose as to the independence of the South American Republics that called tor a definite stand in dectaring that all the South American countries should no longer be subject to the sovereign power of Spain. The statement “Entangling alliance with none" was a slogan that had been in effect many years when relations with foreign countries formerly isolated by two oceans became our neighbors and we had to deal with them as suejj. The plan now is for friendly relations with all free nations of the world, but no entangling alliance with other nations than the free nations still holds in the main.
