HERE'S TOMORROW'S LESSON

Sunday School Lesson, April 30. Lesson text. Acts . 12 : 1-19. Golden , text: "The Angel of Jehovah Encamped Round About Them that Fear Him, and Delivereth Them." Ps. 34:7. In ,the Incident here recorded we meet a new enemy of the infant church. . The first persecution was waged by religious partisans in Jerusalem. The Jewish leaders could not check the progress ot Christianity by opposing its claims and' so attempted to stamp It out by persecution. The church was scattered but the apostles remained. Now the civil authority takes a band. Herod, the Roman governor, is a fit instrument.for the work. He strikes at the head of the new sect. He beheads James and imprisons Peter. He probably knew of the

escape of the apostles from a former imprisonment recorded in Acts . He therefore took unusual precautions to secure Peter beyond any possibility of escape. Prison bars, chains and guards , in greater force than usual were to hold him secure until the Passover feast was ended. Then he would be tried, condemned and executed. But a Power., which Herod had not reckoned with intervened and Peter was released from prison and made bis escape. Peter wisely "went

to another place" after assuring his disciples of his safety. He was not emboldened by his release to defy the authorities unnecessarily. What practical lessons may this incident teach us? It should do more than inspire awe of the majesty and power of God, or raise the question of the possibility or probability of the miracle. First, we are reminded of the inherent power of truth and right. We know that Christianity has survived the opposition of most powerful foes. In Its earliest Infancy two powerful and venomous foes twined themselves around its very cradle. But with superhuman strength it rent off the coils of .Jewish bigotry and stifled the poisonous breath

of heathen licentiousness. Roman prison bars could not confine it nor could the fires of Roman persecution destroy it. The survival and triumphant progress of Christianity is an evidence of its divine origin and inspiration. We may also receive a lesson from Peter's self-imposed restraint and escape from the scenes of persecution. God's intervention and the promises of His word are not Intended to embolden the reckless, but to encourage the faithful. We should never take unnecessary risks. Never expect the Lord to do for us what we can do for ourselves. The question may be asked, "Why was the death of James permitted?" Why should Peter be spared and James left to his fate? Another question of the same character arises. "If the

church had the power to cure disease

reasons that prompt divine interference. God moves in mysterious ways His wonders to perform. But may not the necessity of maintaining a proper balance of faith and dependence on one hand and a reckless self-reliance on the other suggest a possible answer to these questions. A proper recognition of our own responsibility in the matter of our salvation is important., "Work out your own salvation, "for it is God that worketh in you both to will . and to work," are scriptures that suggest the two forces that must be properly correlated. 'The divine power and angel ministries were not alone for the infant church. Without them the church is powerless today. With them she will continue her victorious march until all her enemies are overcome and Christ shall reign in all the earth. 'The angel of Jehovah encampeth round about about them that fear Him an delivereth them." By L. E. MURRAY.
