O SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Apostles' Witnessing of the Acts 6f JesusMarked Birth of Church V jfcripiure! Luke 24:44-48: The Book of the Acts of the Apostles. By5! WILLIAM E. GILROY, D.D. jhe Acts of the Apostles be gan? with the acts of Jesus Christ. Th Book that tells how the Christian church began and spread would never have been ' WTitten, had it not been that the ApOstles as early disciples had gone with Jesus as He went about . doing, good, listening to His . teaching! observing His ways of 7 graciousness and love, and wit nessing His acts of mercy and kindness. ) All that Jesus said and did stood out the more clearly in i) their memory, as He left them with the promise of the Holy Spirit; and in the light of His ; death and resurrection they un derstood a great deal that they hdd never understood before, "this understanding, loo, brought a new sense of responsibility and devotion. The disputes and quarrels about precedence and preferment, as to which of them should be the greater, which had continued almost to the very Verge of the Cross, were a thing , of the past as their minds and hearts were consecrated to the great work of witnessing to all that they had seen and heard.

The simple process of telling to others the good news that one has heard, and "of wit nessing to the experience that one has found, has been at the heart of all Christian progress. When Christians cease to be witnesses, and the church cease? to be a witnessing church, pre tension has taken the place of reality; the spirit of Christ is not there. "Ye shall be witnesses," said Jesus (Acts 1:8) and the Apostles became witnesses in deed. One can hardly overestimate, too, the transformation that took place in the Apostles themselves. It was not simply that they be came humble, and unselfish, and filled with the spirit of service, where formerly they had been self-seeking and jealous of pow er for themselves; they became men of power; but what a dif ferent sort of power it wasl "Ye shall receive power," said Jesus, "after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you"; and the reality and effectiveness of the baptism of the Spirit could not more forcefully be displayed than in the quickness and com pletenes with which a few Gali lean fisherman, and peasants, and lowly people, became sud denly transformed into leaders and world-builders of the great est thing on earth. They found the perfect lovd that casts out fear. In the dpth of their faith they found courage to face persecution and death for their Master's sake, and the more magnificent courage of daring to win the world for Him. When one thinks of the smallncss and seem ing weakness of that band, in contrast with the vast extent and power of the Roman world, what they attempted: and achieved seems miraculous. Even in an outward, historic sense the achievement was amazing; for in o less period of time than our own American history has Con fumed the Galilean had con quered, and Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire. But it is the inward triumph of Christ over the souls of men that is vital; and the Apostolic achievement goes on and is re peated wherever and whenever the Apostolic conditions are ful filled. Jesus still lead on! FAST AMBULANCES The gas tanks of P-38 fighter planes are used as resting places for wounded soldiers being trans ferred via the world's fastest am bulances. A pltxiglas front at tached on the gas tanks allows the wounded man a wide range of vision while he is speeding under the wing of the P-38.
