Gulden Text "The angel of Jehuv- j
ah enrampeth round about them that
fear llim, and delivereth them." Pi.
34:7.
After the conversion uf Comeliua'
recorded in laat Sunday' lesson. Peter !
went back to Jerusalem and gave hi
defense fur what he had done at Caea-'
area; hla explanation being gracloualy i
accepted by the church. Meanwhile,
the Guapel cuntinued to be spread,
even aa far aa Antluch, the metropolis j
of 8yria. Barnabaa, a leader in the I
Jeruaalem church, waa aent over to
Antloch, and he remained there a'
year, having associated with him in i
the work, Saul of Tama. It waa about I
thia time, and In Antluch, that the dia-'
ciplrs were first called "Christians."
The church aeemed to have recov
ered tome of her former strength and
courage, when a new persecution arose
under King Herod Agrippa. He waa1
grandson of Herod the Great, and
evidently inherited his cruel, nature
for, because he wished to please the
Jews, ha had James, the brother of
John, clain with the sword. Seeing
that the Jewa were greatly elated over
this, he arrested Peter, threw him in '
prison, and planned, as soon as the
Passover feast was finished, to take
hla life also. Our lesson text begins
at this point in the narrative.
Peter spent the Passover week in ,
prison. The brethren could do only
one thing, and that they did. "Prayer 1
waa made earnestly of the church un-.
to God for him."
Finally, on the last night before he
waa to be brought forth, the answer
came. And what a wonderful answer!
An angel came to the prison. Let us
Hear the rest of the story in the words
of the sacred Book. "The angel smote
Peter on the side, and awoke him, say- j
ing, rise up quickly: And his chains
fell off from his hands.
And the angel said unto him. Gird
thyself, and bind on thy aandals. And
he did so. And he aaith unto him.
Cast thy garment about thee, and fol-
low me.
. And he went out, and followed; and
he knew not that it was true which
waa done by the angel, but thought
he saw a vision.
And when they were past the first j
and the second guard, they came unto
the iron gate that leadeth into the
city; which opened to them of Its own
accord: and they went out, and passed
on through one street; and straight
way the angel departed from him. j
And when Peter was come to him
self, he said. Now I know of a truth.'
that the Lord hath aent forth hia angel
and delivered me out' of the hands of
Herod, and' from all the expectation of t
that people of the Jews.
And when he had considered the
thing, he cam to the house of Mary
the mother of John whoa surname
waa Mark; wher many were gathered
together and were praying.
And when he knocked at th door
of th gate, maid cam to answer,
named Rhoda.
And when ahe knew Peter's voice
she opened not th gat for Joy, but
ran in, and told that Peter stood be
for th gat.
And they aaid unto her, Thou art
mad. But ah confidently affirmed
that It waa even ao. And they said,
It is hia angel.
But Peter continued knocking: and
when they had opened, they saw him,
and were amazed.
But he, beckoning unto them with
the hand to hoi dtheir peace, declar
ed unto them how the Lord had
brought him forth out of the prison
And he aaid. Tell these things unto
James, and to th brethren. And he
departed, and went to another place.
This ia on of the moat marvellous
portions of Scripture -we will hav to
study this year. There arc ao many
practical lessons in it for us.
Notice how solicitous those early
Christiana were for one another. When
there seemed to be no hope, they risk
ed their own arrest by meeting to
gether (undoubtedly such gatherings
were attended with grave danger) to
pray earnestly for him. Such a spirit
today would greatly strengthen the
cause of Christ, and help to wipe out
th narrow and sectarian spirit that
so widely exists.
Notice too, ePter'a calmness in the
face of almost certain death. He was
actually sleeping peacefully wheVi the
angel cam. Perfect trust in our
Heavenly Father takes away all fear.
But most of all, this is a lesson on
the "efficiency of prayer." Leaderless
with their barks to the wall, there was
just one way out, and the disciples
found that way. "Prayer was made
earnestly unto God." He did not fail
them, but intervened in their behalf,
and the church was mightily convinced
that "while a civil power might perse
cute and while Christians might be
compelled to suffer, no government
can destroy the Church of Christ."
The church of the book of Acta was
a praying church. Prayer was not
merely a characteristic; it jwaa a dis
tinct and vital part of its work. O!
Christian rrfen and women, should not
this be true of the church irl our day.
