I OR [ LesgonJfcffiM Creamed Comments on the Sunday school lesson. The Church at Antioch. Acts 11:19-30, for Sunday, May 20. » i - The Christian movement, , Ing from persecution and from the' ! experiences of Stephen and Paul in producing conversions of Gentiles. now took form in a large assembly. mostly Gentiles, in the large city of Antioch. Here, as a result of sincere followers of the Lord, largely Gentiles, there was such a large company of believers that recognition of them was about to take place by the Jerusalem "church. The sThcerlty was seen in a true fellowship which meant i world brotherhood, caring for the welfare - * of those in need beyond their own people. V. 19. ‘Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen, traveled as far as Phenlce, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but to the Jews only.” The flames of Christianity by persecution enkindled other ! fires which broke out in many I places. The bigotry of Jewish prej dominance had to be eradicated. ■ V. 20. "Borne of them were men from Cyprus and Cyrene, which i »Jiea-they. Jvere come to Antioch. | spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Ix>rd Jesus.” Here were converted Gentile laymen who simply witnessed to Jesus, and did it so well, that many joined this new movement. The work of 1 the church is to be largely carried on l»y laymen. V. 21. “And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great num- ; l>er of them believed and turned ; unto the Ix>rd.“ Here was A real ! revival without a preacher. The reason was the sincere faith in Christ well told by those who, knew what they were talking j about. \ J V. 22. “And the tidings of these | things came to the ears of the ehiiicli which was at Jerusalem; and ’they'“sent forth Barnabas that he should go as far as Antioch.” I Barnabas, as layman, born in Cy-' prus, was well chosen. Results proved that they were divinely led. V. 23. “Who when he had conie, | and had seen the grace of God was glad and exhorted them all. that’ with purpose of heart they should eleave unto the Lord." iKeai gladness follows true conversions. It ! was one thing to start right and quite as important that one should keep on going right. This was Barnabas' wise message. V. 24. "For he was a good man and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith and much people"were added ' unto the Lord." Note that bellev-j ers were first added to the Lord. Church membership followed.' Barnabas, the layman, now becomes a recognized preacher; he later accompanied Paul as a coworker. He bad the qualifications of great faith and accredited by being Spirit-filled. V. 25. “Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus for to seek Saul." Barn- j abas knew all about Saul's call to ■ preach to the Gentiles and here was hirf" chance. There Is power in co-operative leadership. V. 26. “And when he had found him. he brought him unto Antioch, i And it came to pass a whole year they assembled themselves with the church and taught much peo- i pie." They accepted the name “church” as an organization and the name “Christians" as their ; individual names. Many thought this a nickname because they acted like Christ. Antioch became the outpost for the first great mission-'

ary effort of the church. Vs. 27,28. “And in those days came prophets from Jerusalem into Antioch. And there stood up one of them, named Agabuk, and signified by the Spirit that there should be a great dearth throughout all the world which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar." Evidently there were in the early church, prophets that could foretell future events. History records a famine as prophesied . here. ; V.2». "Then the disciples, every one according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwell in Jerusalem.” Here was exhibited not only Christian fellowship but world brotherhood?. The church cares fro others',ln need who live at a distance. Here js taught how much each one should give—according to his ability.

Romulo has said: “We have a saying in Asia , h b W tlwa under the canopy of Heaven. The problem of peace in our harassed world boils down to one word: brotherhood. Peace cannot be built on hate; it cannot be founded on conflict among nations; it cannot be established by means of wars, hot or cold. Not until men learn to be brothers can they attain freedom from fear and security from want. This is the central lesson of our time, a lesson learned through the bitter clash of words in the United Nations, and taught all over again by the bloody clash of embattled hosts in Korea. To recall this hard-learned lesson is to realize the tremendous importance of the promotion of , brotherhood among men. in which the National Conference of Christians and Jew's is taking a leading part. It is the best of all possible incentives for helping to make Brotherhood Week, this year and in the years to come, a shining success. Helping to give the flesh and blood of reality to the ideal of brotherhood is one of the most effective ways of bringing about peace, understanding and cooperation among the nations. It is one of the most valuable gifts anyone can give to this generation and to prosperity.” Humility is bred of true self-re-spect. for it enables one tp look at the world with neither superiority nor inferiority—but with the warm equality of neighbor and friend. ~~~

SATURDAY, MAY ii, 1966

Our Preacher Says: One test of character is seen in , the way a son or daughter takes care of hi* mother. In rest homes too often a'mother I* found because a son or daughter will not sacrifice enough to make place for mother in their own home. On the other hand, there are many children that will sacrifice everything to care for mother. Jesus cared for his mother; when on the cross, 'he commended her to the care of John. Mother has unbounded affection for her children; it matters not how far astray her child may go. her love follows him, if need be to the gallows. Mother's love is next to that of God’s love. Mothers and God are the lifting force of civilisation, if they have a chance. That child is safe that lives in the sweet embrace of mother's love and undergirded by the everlasting arms of God. -The Rev. D. Carl’Yoder. Book Review Guiding Children in Christian Growth, Mary Alice Jones, Abingdon Press, presents principles to be used by teachers and parents in the framing of programs for youth and for counselling with youth.
