Bible. School Lesson Study!
Sunday, September 13th
By L. Neitzel, Murdock, Neb.
"The Council in Jerusalem"
Acts 15:22-29; Gal. 2:1, 2, 9, 10.
A crisis had developed in the
young church, brought about by
overzealous members of the Jewish
Christians, who insisted that the
converts from Gentiles must first
become Jews, comply with the cere
monial law proselytes and then
Christians. This was entirely con
trary to precedent and God's direct
revelation. (See Acts 10:15, 44).
Should tho church survive and be
a success then this matter must be,
once and for all time, settled to tho
satisfaction of all concerned. There
are some things that can never be
tolerated unless the church loses its
message and power. There are other
things which we can easily allow and
in which we can compromise with
out violating our conscience. From
the study of this lesson, we should
come to know what is important and
can never he given up in tne cnurcn
and what is not so important and
can readily be allowed. The time
of this Council i3 50 A. I). The Epis
tle to the Galatians was written
about 57 A. I). The Council was
held at .Jerusalem; Galatians was
written from Corinth. It was a wise
move from tho point of the leaders,
to take the whole church into their
confidence. Paul had been confirmed
by the Lord, Jesus Christ, an apostle
to the Gentiles, and given his mes
sage to them; that salvation was
the free gift of God through faith
in Jesus Christ, and the fruit of
such acceptance cf Christ would be
shown in a holy life, whereby the
Lord, Jesus Christ would be glori
fied and magnified. And God had ap
proved of Paul's work, and put the
stamp of his approval on his work
But Satan saw his kingdom slipping
away, so he stirred up strife, dissen
tion, but withal did not succeed in
disturbing the church.
Under the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, Paul and Barnabas and "cer
tain others" were sent to Jerusalem
about this rrfatter a3 described above
May we now look in at the most dig
nified body that ever assembled!
There are the Apostles, the Pres
byters and Elders, James, not an
apostle called to the chair. (It seems
a preliminary meeting had preceded
the council). The opposition stated
their side. ( See Acts 15:5). Now,
the church is called together; after
jnany remarks pro and con had been
made, Peter takes the floor and states
"his experience, which was followed
by a deep 6ilence then Paul got the
floor and stated in his own convinc
ing way what wonders and miracles
God had wrought among the Gen
tiles. That silenced the opposition.
Now the chairman sums up the
case. He gave the most conservative
of all the addresses that day. (See
verses 13-21), conciliating both Jews
and Gentiles, which pleased the en
tire church. The following resolution
was then unanimously adopted and
dispatched to the churches. May we
stress in our teaching the declara
tion of these leaders when they say:
"It seemed good to the Holy Spirit,
and to us." Having first sought the
approval of the Holy Spirit. If all
our acts would meet and have the
consent of God, how much friction
would be avoided and how much bet
ter could we legislate for the church.
It is renmrkable that we find nine
times the words, "of one accord" in
the Acts, showing the church to be
Christ-minded in its early years.
Fourteen years after his conver
sion Paul recounts his visit to Jeru
salem to that first great council. Paul
made five visits after his conversion
to Jerusalem. Then he states that he
went by "revelation." The council
was God's plan, and he revealed it
to Paul in -v vision? We do not
know. When he arrived at Jerusalem,
he was received by James, Peter and
Paul, "pillars in the church." That
would suggest the church to be an
edifice, carried by pillars. So the
church is regarded (2 Cor. 6:1G;
Rev. 3:12; Prov. 0:1). They sup
ported and graced the Christian edi
fice zealous, gifted, mighty and
successful laborers.
It must not be overlooked how-
Paul rebuked Peter, who was charg
ed with flagrant inconsistency and
with glaring insincerity. He had
forgotten his experience of years ago,
on the housetop at Joppa, where God
taught him not to regard unclean
what God had cleansed. He had lived
in free intercourse with Gentile be
lievers; now he belie3 his own con
victions. For Peter now to demand that
Gentile Christians should obey the
Mosaic law was disloyalty to the Gos
pel of Christ. Undoubtedly Peter ac
knowledged hia error. Impulsive Pet
er would be very sorry and humble.
It was not an error of teaching, but
of conduct and he was quite the man
to confess his fault.
Once more Paul states" the car
dinal doctrine cf all his preaching
justification by faith. Not by keep
ing the law is a man justified, but
by faith in the everliving glorous
Son of the living God. Would to God
that this doctrine were more preach
ed, for then we would have better
and more loyal Christians. j

D. A. R. DISCUSSES CONSTITUTION
"The Constitution of the United
States" was the subject for the meet
ing of the D. A. R. yesterday at the
home of Mrs. George Mann. This is
constitution month so the topic was
very fitting.
Mrs. Otto Keck gave a talk upon
the constitution. Her report included
the history and significance of the
framing of the constitution. Some of
the interesting facts brought out in
the talk were: After the constitution
was written and ready for reading
George Washington suggested only
one change the granting of more
representation to the people. Prior
to the drawing up of the constitution,
under the Articles" of Confederation,
the country was in a state of chaos
and bankruptcy. The dollar was
worth only 2c. All the citizens
were in a state of despair. Less than
four years after the adoption the
country had established foreign
credit. Tho dollar had rapidly in
creased in value and a period of
prosperity had been established.
At the close of'the talk, a sum
mary was given of the benefits given
by the constitution to the individual
and several not granted by any other
country in the world were men
tioned.
