Bible School Sunday, September 27th Review: "The Spread of Chris tianity in Asia" This is a rehearsing and recount ing of the stirring scenes and events of the first 25 years of the great est world movement ever inaugurated ' and should be very profitable to the disciple of Christ. It should be very beneficial to everyone to live over the first 15 chapters of the Acts and follow the men who made history. In chapter I, the Lord Jesus laid Ihe basis for world evangelism when he said: "Ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you, and ye shall be my wit nesses in Jerusalem, Judea and Sa maria and to the ends of the earth.' Chapter II showed what the power of the Holy Ghost accomplished. The re sult of Pentecost was encouraging for the church to expand and reach out. God was in the movement and he never fails in his purpose. Chap ter III teaches the importance of deeds of power on a cripple, they to be the credentials of their Apostle ship and to build up the faith of many. Herein lay the value of the healing of the cripple. Chapter IV. The best argument for salvation is a saved man. "Be holding the man who was healed . . . they could say nothing against it." Peter in defense of the healing says: "We cannot but speak the things which v. c have seen and heard." That is . real witnessing, and it pleased God. soe verses 29-31. God bore wit ness to their loyalty and devotion to his cause. Chapter . In the plan of God for spreading of the Gospel, the most potent factor is a witnessing church. And the desciples believed it. "We ought to obey God rather than men," to stand up against the powerful Snnhedrin like that took courage and grace: it produced a champion for the cause which the Apostles repre sented Gamaliel. Chapter VI. The appointments of deacons (seven) in the church at Jerusalem was a recognition of the sense of responsibility to the suffer ing and needy. This has increased until the whole world is now sown over with charitable institutions. Christianity must be credited with that work. That is some achieve ment Praise His name! Chapter VII. Stephen's death started the expansion of the church. for it scattered the followers of Christ, who went forth their hearts burning with a holy enthusiasm and love, to bring the good news to all Ihe world. So does God use seeming disaster to his glory. That is where the devil made his greatest mistake. Paul is Stephen multiplied a hun dred times. Chapter VIII. The way God multi plies personality is shown by Philip, MURRAY STUDY CLUB The Murray Home Study club held their first meeting of the year Thurs day, Sept. 17, at the home of Mrs. Grace Kennedy, with twenty-five present.

Lesson Study! By L. Neitzel, Murdock, Neb. who started a great revival in Sa maria, which might have been pass ed by by their long standing ene mies; and then brought the Ethio pian into the kingdom, so carrying the "light" into the "dark" conti nent. Chapter IX. What a 'commission to the one who had been the nemesis of all devout followers of Christ! "He is a chosen vessel to me, to bear my name before Gentiles and Kings and the children of Israel; for I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake." Chapter X. Peter had to be con vinced that the Gentiles had a right to salvation, or the cause of Christ could not be universal. It was a hard lesson for Peter to learn; but Peter as the key-man who should open the door to Jew and Gentile, fulfills his mission, Jerusalem, Pen tecost, Casaria the Gentile Pente cost he leaves the stage and is only Peter the "servant and Apostle of Jesus Christ" no more. Chapter XI. Antioch in Syria be coming the first great missionary center. Especially known for three things: (a) Barnabas' preaching; (h) the entrance of Saul of Tarsus into definite ministry; (c) the use of the term "Christians" for believers. First foreign mission founded, Bar nabas and Saul as first workers. Chapter XII. God interferes in the plans of a vicious, persecuting king, and the sparing of Peter for further usefulness in the spread of the gos pel. See the prayer meeting for Peter and the result. . Chapter XIII. Follow the first mis sionary journey of Barnabas and Saul: Cyprus, Antioch, Pisidia, Icon- ium, Lystra. Derby. Establishing suc cessful Christian churches; the op position encountered, pointed preach ing and miraculous power. Chapter XIV. How the gospel was received; a "great multitude believ ed" and God "granted signs and won ders to be done by their hands." Then trouble began. Paul being stoned, his first experience in suf fering for Christ. (Did he remember Stephen?) The Judaizers caused so much trouble about Gentiles, who they believed must first be circum cised before becoming Christians, re sulting in Chapter XV. The first general con ference being called at Jerusalem and certain definite rules laid down for the reception of the Gentiles into the church. By this time the gospel had reach ed many nations. So the angels pro nouncement the "good tidings , . . shall be to all people" was being ful filled. Question: Do you consider the growth of the church rapid or slow? How would it have appeared to the early Christians? Jane Palmer is Bride of Earl Canady Daughter of Ethel Dovey Palmer Mar ried Saturday Evening in Des Moines, Iowa.
