BIBLE SCHOOL LESSON
Sunday, March 6th
P.v M. S. Bribers
Golden Text: '"Ye shall be my wit
nesses." Acts 1:S.
Carrying the Good Hews
This statement made to the Chris
tians during the early days of the
church, has continued in effect dur
ing the ages, is literally as true now
as it was the day It was uttered and
ever shall be a guiding factor among
followers of Christ.
The Master was speaking to the
disciples direct when he spoke those
words, having been asked by some of
them"Lord. wilt thou at this time
restore again the kingdom of Israel?"
Replying, the Master said. "It is not
for you to know the times or seasons
which the Father has put in his own
hands. . . . But ye shall receive
power after the Holy Ghost is come
upon you. and ye shall be witnesses
unto me both in Jerusalem and in all
Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the
uttermost parts of the earth."
Thus he spake, and also said. "Go
ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptising them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost, teaching them to ob
serve all things whatsoever I have
commanded you; and lo, I am with
you alway, even unto the end of the
world."
Following the ascension of the
Master there came a season of won
derful work in Jerusalem, and on the
day of Pentecost, there were some
three thousand added to the church.
But later the church was greatly per
secuted and the members had 'to fly
for their lives. This looked hard and
was hard, but still like the eider
down that flies from the cottonwood
and finds lodging many miles often
times hundreds of miles from the
tiny sprout springing up and anoth
er tree has- by God's wisdom been
planted to in turn send out its seed
in later years and assist in the grow
ing cf other trees. So it was with
those early Christians who, when
they were persecuted and driven from
Jerusalem, went hither and yon seek
ing safety in their flight, and withal
telling the story of the Risen Christ
as they went, thus bearing the mes
sage of the Master and aiding mater
ially in the establishing of other
church, so the gospel of the Savior
was promulgated and became a liv
ing factor in the world.
We often think the hard tasks that
come to us are severe, but how many
times is it only a door of opportunity
opening to us to do the work of the
Master, to save some one who is only
waiting for the message of the love
of Christ.
When the first church was estab-
much work for the Apostles to do.
and as they had everything in com
mon, a board of deacons was appoint
ed to look after the care of the mem
bers, while the Apostles themselves
taught and preached. Stephen and
ri,jiij - i
talking to the fellow who worked
next to him and thus making a con
vert to the cause .of Christ.
It was not necessary that there be
a large crowd or a. magnificent build
ing in order to spread the seed of the
gospel, but a person devoted to the
task of carrying the message of the
Master to the one needing the mee-
sage, and when one was thus made
a Christian, he was a Christian in-
deed. Like the down which the wind
V
carried, he became an ambassador for
the Master. Willingness to work is
what is necessary, and the opportun
ity is wholly of ones own making.
It was not a difficult matter for
the Master to find some one who was
wanting and even waiting for the
gospel to be brought to their very
doors, and wherever he went he bore
the message which he had been sent
from heaven by the Father, to carry
to the earth, and to all who would
receive it. Christ found converts by
the sea shore, and as he stopped when
tired at the well side near Sychar. he
brought the message to the woman
nf Samaria, for she went to the town
land told the men, "Come, see who is
this man who told me all things I
ever did; is not this the Christ?"
Christ even found a convert in a
tree, where he had climbed to see the
Master go by, and as they were un
der the tree, Christ called, "Zacche
us. come down, for this day must I
abide at thy house." It was not a
difficult matter for the Master to find
some one who wanted to hear the
gosnel. Likewise Paul, when he had ,
gone to Phillippi and went out by the
river side where prayer was wont to
be made, found Lydia, who was anx
ious and waiting for the message, and t
when she had heard the scriptures ;
explained and the story of the Mas-j
ter, proclaimed, "I believe that Jesus
is the Christ," was immediately bap-;
tised by Paul and became a worker;
for the cause of the Master.
The disciples said unto Jesus, j
"Who sinned, this man or his par-j
ents, that he was born blind?" And :
v. ui il uiauc IUC111 UllPWt i , r
this man or his parents, but that the l
glory of God might be made mam-!
fest." and he therefore healed him, I
opening his eyes as well as his soul, i
and he'went about telling cf the sal-Ji
vatien which had come to him. 1
It seems but a small thing for a;
church of say one hundred Christians i
and three-fourths of them doing:
nothing, this leaving but twenty-five!
with a disposition to work and a zeal j
for the carrying of the message of the
Master, but with very little tact and i
but one-talent men. still willing to!
do the work which comes to their
hand, and out of this twenty-five.
twentv fail. The other five ?.re able
to interest one of their fellow beings
each month thus there is saved and
enlisted in the work for the church
for the betterment of the home, the
community, the country and in sav
ing the world for Christ a total of
sixty people. Now what is the con
clusion, if all the members of that
church would work, even if their
ability was only mediocre, there
would" during the first year be more
than 100 per cent gain effected for
the church, which has at the begin
ning of the year only one hundred
members and at the end two hundred
and twenty. How long would it
take for the whole world to be won
to Christ?
When we look into the heavens on
a starry night and see the millions
of stars each larger than the earth,
we are filled with wonder and amaze
ment and think what can we do in
such a universe, but when wo stop to
really think, it comes to us with
great force how wonderfully we are
blessed by being a sharer in the
great work of saving a world. For,
as Christ has said, "Ye are my wit
nesses, and if you love me you will
do my commandments."
Regarding the carrying of the mes
sage of Christ to the world, William
Jennings Bryan had this to say:
"I would not begin with a non
believer by discussing mysteries with
him. only answering his objections,
or discuss miracles, unless the sub
ject was brought up by him: not
even the theory of the atonement,
though I have my opinion regarding
it. If asked why I think the plan of
salvation was adopted by God. I
should tell him it is not necessary I
should understand why it was adopt
ed, but on.y necessary I should accept
it. Yet, if any reason is needed, I
have one which satisfies me. namely
that love is the greatest thing in the
world and that sacrifice is the lan
guage of love; and that Christ could
not have found a better plan in
reaching human hearts than by ex
pressing his love in sacrifice, being
willing to die for the world, and thus
give by this extraordinary service
evidence of his love for the world.
Thus he has touched the hearts of
the human race wherever the story
has been told."
We have borrowed the following
from the Rhode Island Journal. Ycu
can pass it along. It will do some
one good:
The Test of a Man
I
The test of a man is the fight
he makes.
The grit that he daily
shows;
The way he stands on his
feet and takes
Fate's numerous bumps and
blows.
A coward can smile when
there's naught to fear,
When nothing his progress
bars;
But it takes a man to stand
i up and cheer.
When some other fellow
stars. II
It isn't victory after all
But the tight that a brother
makes;
The man, who, driven against
the wall,
Still stands erect and
takes
The blows of fate with head
held high.
Bleeding and bruised and
pale
Is the man who will win in
the by and by, '
For he isnt afraid to I
fail.
Ill
It's the bumps you get and the
jolts you get,
And the shocks that your j
courage stands
Th hours o? Eorrow and
vain regret,
