The Sunday School Commentary

SERMON, MAY 2, BY There would be a warm welcome fcr Barnabas and Saul from the Christians at Antiocb on their return from Jerusalem, and John Mark, Barnabas' slstM'B mb, whom they bad brought with them xli, 25. would probably And himself ia a different atmosphere from that at Jerusalem and must hare been much helped by the companionship of his uncle, Barnabas, and by fellowship with such teachers as those here mentioned and by the zeal of these warm hearted beliter. They ministered to the Lord and fasted. The things of this world were nothing in comparison with the things of the kingdom, and food for the body was wholly secondary when the pure bread and water of life was to be had. Some who read can understand. Although It means much to minister to the Lord, even a child can do it (I Sam. 111. 1). I hare often been impressed with this in considering the matter of ministering to the Lord that the eight words "that they may minister in the priest's office" (Ex. xxriii. 2. 3, 4, 41, and many other places) are a translation of a little Hebretr word of tiiree letters, and I bare asked myself. Does it take aa much of earth's language to open to us the little words of hear en? For we hare no record of any language but Hebrew baring been spoken by the Lord from heaven. "Well. I am sure that it means more than any of us know to "minister to the Lord." In the great book of worship. Leviticus, it is well to mark the phrases "unto the Lord" and "before the Lord. and when they become dally mottoes with us we shall know more of true ministry. While they were ministering the Holy Ghost aid, "Separate Me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I bare called them" (rerse 2). Here we hare the whole of these chapters in one sentence and the whole of every true Christian life set apart for the Lord, separated from the world and self and sin, to do the wm of God, to work the works which are beforehand prepared for us (Eph. li. 10; Phil. ii. 13: Heb. xiii. 21). So they, sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed. - When we are sent of God we always have His assurance, "Certainly 1 win be with thee" (Er. lii, 12; Judg. Ti. and it is only by His assurance that we will be separated from all things and people not of Him (Ex. xzxiii, 16; I Kings viii. 53). If we would know God as our Father and as the Lord Almighty, the mighty God who ia all sufficient for us.-and haYA others see that we are His sons and daughters to His glory. He dwelling la us and walking In us. we must be willing to be separated from all things unto Himself (IL Cor. Tt. 16-181.

They might have said : We cannot spare them. We need them so much here. What shall we do without them? But they agreed with God and let them go and must bare been specially blessed In giving to God the best they bad. How honored these two men were in being named by God for this ministry I Even the longest journeys are made very little of in Scripture, for what is a Journey round the world even when compared with coming from heaven to earth, which angels accomplish as swiftly as the lightning? They leave Antioch and are next at Salamis, in Cyprus, without any details as to the journey. The word Is preached in the synagogues at Salamis, but no statement as to results. Whether we see results cr not, we can always rest oo Ibh. Iv, 11; Jer. i, 12, It. V. They passed through the Island to Paphos, and found the deputy of the country eager to hear the word of God. but hindered by a Jew. a false prophet and a sorcerer, who spught to turn away the deputy from the faith. Saul, who is now for the first time called Paul, being filled with the Spirit, spok-j as plainly to him as did our Lord to the Pharisees in John rill, 44. and in the name of the Lord caused him to be blind for a season. The power of God thus manifest and the true doctrine taught by Paul so wrought upon the deputy that he became a believer. . : God is the God of truth. Jesus Christ is the truth. The Spirit is the spirit of truth. There is no righteousness that can abide In the presence of God but that which God has provided. All that Is not of God is of the devil. Consider, then, in the light of these facts, how the way of the Lord and the word of the Lord and the gospel of God concerning His Son are perverted by an ever increasing number of those who are called ministers of the gospel and are paid for preaching the gospel and teaching the truth (Jer. xxJU, 36; Gal. i 7.

The chief difference between the average hotel cell and the average prison cell, viewed from the standpoint of social psychology, is that one is locked on the inside to keep outsider out, while the other is locked on the outside to keep insiders la. The occupant of the hotel cell ia afraid that something will be done to him or that something will be taken from him by some one who ought to be in a prison cell. That Is the theory of L "Lock your door and leave your valuables at the office. cautions the obliging Innkeeper. "If you had valuables you wouldn't be here, observes the witty prison keeper. . That Is to say, the question of valuables seems to enter largely into the matter. ' It would be great to have a civilization which considered valuable only those things which could not be stolen, such as mental and moral equipment, skill and good fellowship. Then we could be a little more sociable. We could talk to each other without buttoning our coats or feeling for our diamond studs every few minutes. Then the man who willingly secluded himself in a stuffy hotel cell could be locked in and made to stay there oa the ground that something terrible was the matter with him. Success Magazine. .

BY REV. S. Topic Lire lessons from the book of Isaiah. Iss, vl. 1-9. The book of Isaiah! The mere mention of this literary masterpiece, this gospel of the Old .Testament, which speaks of the birth of the Messiah, describes bis life and pictures his crucifixion as If the author's words might have been historic Instead of prophetic, should thrill us with reverence for his great genius as a writer, his noble consecration to God. and bring our own souls into closer touch with our Divine Lord and Saviour. Isaiah was not the first of the prophets, but his writings are placed first because of their superior character to those of all other Hebrew prophets. He prophesied during "the7 reigns Uszab, Jotham. Abaz and Uexeklab, kings of Judah." These were times of great material prosperity In Judan. but great spiritual decline. In the first chapter of his book we find the moral and spiritual corruption portrayed as only a master of literature could do it Human language could scarcely describe the awful conditions that prevailed. At this time also Judah faced captivity In Babylon. This fsct gave Isaiah his great opportunity for seeing in the ultimate return of Judah the salvation of all through the Messiah, the Christ, the true "servant of the Lord." , The book of Isaiah may be divided into three parts: First. Prophetical, chapters l-sxxv. Tho main enemy of Judah in this part was Assyria. Second. Historical, chapters xrxvlxsxix. These chapters contain a plain and simple history of the reign of Hezekiah. Third. Prophetical, chapters xl-lxvL In this part Babylon Is the chief enemy of Israel. Both part first and part third are messianic in character. In part first the Messiah is presented as a mighty king and ruler. "Unto us a child Is born, unto us a son Is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful. Counselor, the Mighty God. the Everlasting Father, the lrlnce of Peace" (Isa. tx. li. a passage from part first). Part second presents the Christ as a suffering victim, an atoning sacrifice, a meek and lowly Redeemer. The best illustration of this character of part second Is found In Isa. llil which should be carefully read by every Endeavorer in part preparation for this service. In these prophesies of Isaiah great moral and spiritual truths stand out He denounces sin and pleads for righteousness. At ttie same time be speaks almost like one of the evangelists In bis references to Christ. His book has therefore been called "the fifth gospel." 1. Moral ard political teachings. These pervade his book throughout, ne calls upon Israel to cense to do evil and learn to do good. He declares that, though their sins may be as scarlet, yet they may be forgiven. He cslls upon the sinner to forsake his ways and the unrighteous ronn bis thoughts and turn to Gcd. who will abundantly pardon. 2. Denunciation of Idolatry. In the time of Ahaz gross Idolatry wss practiced. Isaiah severely denounced it and saw It overthrown In the good King Herekiah's reign. But It wss restored under Manasseb. 3. He spoke of the coming Messiah and Indicated His true character. This Is the greatest value of his book and what gives it Its highest standing. 4. Isaiah also declared salvation to the gentiles. As Paul was the apostle to the gentiles. Isaiah was their prophet. Frequent passages refer to their coming to Mount Zion. and in direct language be emphasized his prophecy. Paul quotes Isaiah as saying (referring to cbaptei xl: "There shall be a root out of Jesue and He shall rise to rule over the gen tiles. In nim shall the gentiles hope' (Com. xv, 12).

Dr. Conwtlfs Societies. , In an interview In the Christian Endeavor Times Dr. Itussell H. ConwelJ cf Philadelphia, the successful pastor cf one of the largest congregations In America, speaking of Christian Endeavor in his church, says: "We have no fewer than fourteen Christian Endeavor societies. They are doing a real practical service, meeting not only for prayer and song, but for definite work. For example, one society devotes Itself eatirely to a local mission, another to belptn? drunkards, a third to orphanage work, and so on.

Alban Jasper Conant, the artist; la telling of his experience in painting a portrait of Lincoln said: "Yankee wit was mentioned at one of the sittings, and Lincoln said. That is something I always admired and coveted.' Some one said. 'Why. you certainly have the credit of possessing it in large measure. 'No. said Lincoln, 'not the genuine. I don't remember that J ever got credit for It but once. Then he told how. hurrying once through a courtroom, he wss ordered by the Judge to defend a prisoner accused of assault and battery. A witness was Just testifying that the complainant had been fought all over a field. 'On cross examination.' said Lincoln. 'I asked him, "How large was that field twenty acres?" '- "Xo." he replied. ""Ten acres r "Xo." "Were there two acres?" I persisted. "Yes, Just about two." be agreed. "And you saw him fight this man all over the field?" pointing to the prisoner. "Yes, sir." "Well, sir," I said, "did you ever see a fight before that turned one so little to the acre?" The witness admitted, with a srin. that he had nor th judsre -entiled, and -tho jury snickered.
