Golden Text "Ye shall be my wit
nesses, both in Jerusalem, and in all
J nil is and Samaria, and unto the ut
termost part of the earth," AcU 1, 8.
Perhaps five years have passed aince
the events of our bint Sunday's les
son. After God's prompt and ter
rible punishment of the first record
ed dclilH-rule sin in the church, we
read tliut "great fear came on alii"
"utid believers were the more added
to the Lord, multitudes both of men
and women."
Shortly after this the apostles were
arrested, but miraculously delivered.
Then came the appointment of the
first seven deacons, and the cruel
death of the first martyr, Stephen,
which seems to have been tin begin
a great pcrtreution of the
church. The disciples had to floe for
their lives, out into the villages and
country places of Judas and Sainarin.
Only the apostles were left behind.
Just here is recorded a wonderful
thing The first verae of the lesson
t"xt says: "Therefore they tlia. were
scattered abroad wen evcrvwp'i-
preaching the Word." The mala dif
ference between tnose eariy I :ni,0i,Mll.i
nml bl levels today is revealed to us
in this verse, the individual responsi
bility inch one felt in spreading the
Gospel. (Jetting that before men and
women was their main object in life.
Everything else was merely incidcmul

were persecuted, they not only en

A certain, Salvation Army Inssi"
had, bark in her old life, won the
name of "Warrior Brown" by her
fighting qualities when drunk or en
raged. She was converted nnd was
given her testimony in an open nil
meeting, when some one throw a po
tato and it struck her in the face. A
week before, the cowardly insulter
would have needed to make himself
scarce, but "Warrior" picked up the '
potato without a wont and put in her
pocket. No more was heard of the
incid-nt until it rnme time for their
harvest thank offering, and then in
came "Warrior" with a little sack of
potatoes, and explained that she had
cut up and planted the insulting po
tato, and wns now presenting to the
Lord Its increase
This incident furnishes a faint II
lustration of the spirit that possessed
the persecuted disciples. Thoy not'
only clung to their faith, but, as they ,
fled from their persecutors they took
that new opportunity to preach the,
very faith for .which they had hen '
forced to flee. Thus they took, too,
the second and third steps in thn witness-bearing
the Master had told them
to do in the words of the 0-jlJcn;

Text, "Ye shall witness, 1st in Jerusa
lem, 2nd in Judea, 3rd in Samaria.
One of those who had to flee was
Philip, one of the seven deacons who
had evidently outgrown his eariy of
fice, and become a full-fledged preach
er of the Word. At least, when, in his
wanderings, he reached the city of
Samaria (that city that has been
called the half-way house of the Jews
ami Gentiles) he preached Christ unto
them. 'Vreuching Q'rist'' waa a very
significant phrase. It meant even as
it does today, essentially three things,
1st facts about Christ (three in num
ber. His life, death and resurrection;,
2nd. commands of Christ (faith, re
pentance and baptism), 3rd promises
of Christ (remission of sins, gift of
the Holy Spirit, and eternal life).
And what was the result of this
preaching, with the accompanying
miracles. "The multitudes gave heed,
and there was much joy in that city."
What ia liic ineviiaoie result ot
Christianity being truly established in
a heart in a community anywhere?
Much joy! What would we conclude
of a Christian who had not much joy?
That there was something vr.ng
with his Christianity. For the fruit
of the Spirit is love, joy, ek '
Now the scene shifts back to Jeru
salem. The apostles hear ot tile won
derful happenings over in Sainnriu,
and send Peter and John to visit the
new brethren there. When they come,
they pray, and lay th;-ir hands upon
i ;i i i.ic Hjly Sp.ii. i given,
not the indwelling gift of the Spirit,
for that was promised to every obedi
ent believer, und had undoubtedly been
received, but the miruculous gift, ac
companied by some outward manifes
tation, perhaps the gift of tongues, or
healing, or prophecy. A man culled
Simon, who beforetinie had been a
great scorer, but had been converted
under Philip's preaching, promptly
offered the ajHistles money, if they
would give him that wonderful power
to impart the Holy Spirit by laying
on of hands.
Peter's answer is a stinging rebuke
"Thy silver perish with thee, because
ju hast thought to purchase the
gift of God with money. Thou bust
neither part nor lot in the matter, for
thy heart is not right in the sijrht of
Godi Repent and pray if perhaps
the thought of thine heart may be
forgiven thee.
Simon, apparently brougrtt to a
realization of hit sins, cries out to
Peter to pray for him, and thus the
drtnintic Incident closes.
We have a word in our language,
"simony" which comes from this sin
of Simon. It originally meant the
sale of ecclesiastical offices or benefits
but really the sin of Simon includes
any ! grading of spiritual matters to
roinr.i rcial levels. Any one who came

credit for the effort put forth and in
some future contest will make good.
