Acts 15:1-2, 22-31. Golden Text Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.—2 Cor. ,3:17b. Man will not give up the idea that he can save himself. People who have no religion at all, and people who pride themselves on being very religious, hold the same idea—that their good works will save them. But this is not the Gospel. Paul, Barnabas, Peter and other early Christian leaders had come to a crisis in the life of the church and the history of Christianity. They had been preachng the Gospel that “God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." And they had been preaching this, not only to their brethren the Jews, but also to Gentiles. For God loved not only the Jews, but all men: "God so lov­ ed the world.” Peter had had a remarkable ex­ perience in a vision from God which taught him that he was to declare freely to the Gentiles, as well as the Jews, salvation by faith alone in Jesus Christ. As he obeyed this, heavenly vision, a prominent Roman centurion, Cornelius, with his whole household, was saved, and "the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word” (Acts 10»:44). Paul and Barnabas had been having the same experience, seeing many Gentiles as well as Jews saved, by simple faith in Christ as- the One who had died for their sins and been raised again from the dead. And now come those who would in­ terfere with the great work of evan­ gelism in the name of Christ alone. As Paul and Barnabas returned to Antioch and called the church to­ gether, and “rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how He had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles,” a serious interruption came. "Certain men which came down from Judea taught the breth­ ren, and said, Except ye be circum­ cised after the manner of 'Moses, ye cannot be saved." In other words, these "Judaizers" insisted that only by keeping the law of Moses could men be saved. It started a serious discussion in the church at Antioch. Then the leaders wisely decided that Paul and Barnabas and a few others had bet­ ter go to headquarters at Jerusalem' and confer with the apostles there. They did so, and thus was held the momentous and historic Council of Jerusalem. The record of this, in our lesson, has been called, "dispen- sationally . . . the most important passage in the New Testament." That is, it throws divine light on God’s plan and purpose for this pres­ ent dispensation or age of grace in which we live. Peter, Paul and Barnabas gave their testimony before the Council of brethren at Jerusalem, and told, thrilling stories of how God had been saving both Gentiles and Jews, not because they kept the Old Testament law of Moses, but because they be­ lieved that Jesus Christ had died for Shingles!

Finally, the Council of .Christians saw clearly, through the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit, that neither Gentiles"-nor Jews were any longer "under the law” as in the old dispensation, but under grace, James the human brother of the Lord Jesus and the recognized head of the church at Jerusalem in the apostolic age, made the pronouncement. He called attention to God’s pur­ pose to “visit the Gentiles, to- take ou of them a people for His name.” This has been declared by Peter. He then, quoted a porphecy in Amos 9:11-12, in which God had declared His purpose for the time of the re­ turn or second coming^'bf Christ: "After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David which is fallen down.” This restor­ ation of the temple and the Holy City, Jerusalem, would be "that the residue of men (Jews; might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles.” That is, there would be at that time such a world-wide turning of both Jews and Gentiles to Christ as the world has never yet known. That this utterance was not an op­ inion of men, not even of the Chris­ tians of the Council of Jerusalem, but God’s divine and revealed will, is seen by the inspired statement which concludes the utterance: "... saith the Lord, who doeth all these things. Known unto God are all His works from the Beginning of the world.” The divinely given verdict or de- cision of the Council was that Gen­ tiles should not be “troubled" by the mistaken teaching that they must keep the law in order to be sav­ ed. As a well-known commentato has said, the decision might be other­ wise stated in the terms of Romans 6:14 "Ye are not under the law, but under grace.” But “Gentile believ­ ers were to show grace by abstaining from practises offensive to godly Jews,” such as eating meat that had been offered to idols. The low state of morals in the civilized world of the first century, even in regilious circles, is intimated from the fact that this declaration included an ex­ hortation against personal immoral­ ity. A letter was drawn up by the Council to be carried by Paul and Barnabas to the Church at Antioch, covering these points, and the text of the letter is given in the lesson. It is important to recognize as we study this epochal event and revela­ tion in church history that being under grace, and not under the law, does not mean freedom of sin. It means -that men cannot be saved by anything they do for God, but only by what God does for them. The perfect law of God condemns all men for no man in his own swengtn can keep it. Because this is so, God gave His Son to die for men’s sins in breaking the law, and simply asks men to accept this great sacrifice in their behalf and is saved. ‘Law says, ‘Do’; Grace says ‘Done’ But men who are saved by the .grace of God are given His divine strength to keep the moral law of God—not in order to be saved, but because they have been saved. •....................-........ —.."HI EDITORIAL n------- -— ..............................,........... — ----------- -—.——.-----— ■ "Nationalization of the hanks is the lynch-pin of the Socialist policy." * * * _ * * * >k * (Some way or other the flu did not do a complete job.

She never wanted it. She wishes to dominate the world. Nothing less than this suprem­ acy will satisfy her. As a means to this end she seeks to arm her already militarily trained youth and manhood. Healhty minded men regard her course as insane and inimical to the welfare of the race, but such is her purpose and must be reckoned with. The fol­ lowing clipping from the weekly edition of the London- Times sets forth the views of two leading European statesmen on the question: "Mr Baldwin, in his speech at Birmingham as (Conservative leader, was downright, as his manner is. World conditions were depressed by lack of confidence proceeding form the fear of war. Unless there was a convention—meaning something more than dis­ armament by this country alone—international suspicion might pass into panic in some lands and lead to rearmament, which, if it should begin in Europe, would prevent reduced taxation here and bring other nations nearer to financial catastophe. The German Attitude The main reason for these forebodings, which (as will be seen below) were widely shared, was the uncompromising attitude of Germany. What, asked M. Daladier, the French Prime Minister, at Vichy on the eve of the reassembly of the Bureau of the Confer- enc, did Germany want? Nobody contested her right to existence as a great nation, nor wished to humiliate her. Publicly, her Government proclaimed its desire for peace, and, by displomatic channels, its wish to draw closer to France. Yet why was German youth trained for fighting? Why were there so many mass demonstrations? Why would they not take the first step towards disarmament? Why this demand of the right to construct material which would have to be destroyed 'as soon as a convention was signed? ******** THE OX AND THE SHEEP The United States is trying to bring in prosperity by taking as many cents as it can from the worth of every dollar anyone is for­ tunate enough to possess. It’s a neat bit of manoeuvering all right, this thing of giving the farmer more dollars but in reality charging him more for all that he buys in that way leaving him worse oft than ever. That is, by the way of illustration, a farmer sells his pig for ten dollars in place of the eight dollars he got before the Great American Cure-All was inaugurated. The farmer seems to be two dollars ahead. But wait! Fot ten dollars he now can pur­ chase but the same amount of goods that he formerly could purchase for seven dollars or thereabouts. We see the American farmers growing rich at this ratd. Then consider the large army of folk who retired from business through failing bodily power or because of old age. The Great Financial Cure-All takes a handsome num­ ber of cents from every dollar of the very limited income of this ' class of people. Of course the Great Cure-All was to help the wage earner. Was not and is not this loudly proclaimed? True there is more money in the wage-earner’s pay envelope. Yet when the bread and butter and shoes and clothing and rent and all the other living expenses are met there is less than ever left for the earner wherewith he may provide for the rainy day, for the simple reason that the wage eaner’s dollar has shrunken in value out or proportion to the raise in wages and the increase of the cost of goods. That’s dollar deflation for you! The American ox still smiles as he goes to the slaughter and the American sheep is still dumb as she complacently submits to the attentions of the shearers, all White House gunday afternoon broadcasting to the contrary notwithstanding. Said the wise old Quaker, "It’s not what thea earns but what thee saves that makes thee rich." But then, Quak­ ers know nothing, experimentally about ballyhoo. They leave that to folk in high places. ■ —....... mi ii i ...... «n ... ........................ .............................. ......ii , EDWAR05BURG CRDWN BRAND LIMITED.
