BARN AB A3 (A Consecrated Man of
Means)
Sunday, Aug. 25.—Acta. 5:36, 37;
9:26-30; 11:19-20; 12:25; 13:1 to
15:41; Galatians 2:13.
Goden Text
He was a good man, and full of
the Holy Ghost and of faith (Acts
1120 .)
We find a round dozen of sterling
characteristics in the man Barnabas
He is a striking (proof of the fact
that the .really spiritual man is the
practical iman,
1.. He sold property for the Lord,
He was a man of means and, being
spiritual and practical, he knew
that the Lord’s work needed money.
Having land he sold it, and gave the
proceeds to the apostles to use.
2. He dared to sponsor an unpop
ular man. Saul had been the ring
leader of the persecutors of the
Christians. When Saul was sud
denly converted, the Christians ‘were
all afraid of him, and believed not
that he was a disciple.” Barnabas,
with spiritual discernment, saw that
he was a true believer, ‘‘brought
him to the apostles, and declared un
to them how he had seen the Lord
in the way . . . and h'Ow he had
preached boldly at Damascus in the
name of Jesus.” So Barnabas gave
Saul (Paul) his Christian start in
Jerusalem.
3» He jvas a trusted and trust
worthy investigator. Persecuted
Christians, after Stephen’s martyr
dom and death, were scattered
abroad and won many to Christ.
When the Church in Jerusalem, heart)
of this ‘‘they sent forth Barnabas
that he should go as far as Antioch.”
He made a thorough examination' of-
the work .going on, and found that
it was genuine, not spurious. Being
spiritual and practical, he helped
the new converts greatly. ‘‘For he
was a good .man, and full of the Holy
Ghost and of faith.” Any man that
has these three characteristics is
bound to be a power.
4. He knew whom to select for
responsible work. When he found
what important work was going on,
‘‘Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus,
for to seek Saul; and when he had
found him, he brought him unto
Antioch.” They made a great team
these two spiritual and practical
men. (The late Cyrus Curtis, one of
the greatest publishers of our gen
eration, told a friend that his chief
work was selecting men for respon
sible positions. Moody used to say
that it was more important to put
ten men to work than to do the work
of ten men.
5. He was trusted with other
people’s money. A famine was com
ing, and the Church at Antioch de
cided ‘‘to send relief unto the brath-
ren which dwelt in Judea.” When
they gathered their relief funds,
they “sent it to the elders by the
hands of Barnabas and Saul.”
<6. He was one of the first two
Christian missionaries choseni and
sent by God Himself. After Barna
bas and Saul returned to Jerusalem
to- Antioch, “the Holy Ghost said,
Separate me Barnabas and Saul for
the work whereunto I have called
them.” This was the beginning of
the first missionary journey in the
history of the Church.
7. He was peculiarly honored, in
that he was persecuted for the sake
of the Lord Jesus Christ, This meant
special blessing, for the Lord had
is&id: “Bessed are ye, when men
shall revile you, and persecute you
. . . fo,r My sake. Rejoice, and be
exceeding .glad; for what is your re
ward in heaven.” (Matt. 5:11, 12,)
Barnabas was in the eternal honor
troll now. Paul told the Jews in the
synagogue at Antioch, in Pisidia, the
truth about Jesus of Nazareth, that
He was their prophesied Messiah,
and Paul and Barnabas were perse
cuted and forced out of the city.
8. Journeying on to Iconium,
they were persecuted and stoned
there by the jews and their rulers
and fled to the cities of Lystra and
Derbe. There Paul worked a mir
acle of healing by ifaith in the name
of Jesus. Now caime the opposite
of persecution.—adulation and wor
ship! The people flocked about the
tw.o, men, saying: “The gods are
come down to us in- the likeness of
men. And they called Barnabas,
Jupiter and Paul, Mercurius, be
cause he was the chief speaker.” So
Barnabas must have had a com
manding presence, but this did not
go to his head. He and Paul cried
out against this mistaken worship,
and would Wave none of it.
9. Both Barnabas- and Paul were
men of true humility. This came
out in the trying experience of the
attempt of the people of Lystra to
defy them. “.Sirs,” they cried, “why
do ye do these things? We also are
meh of like passions (with you, and
preach unto you that ye should turn
ilnoim these vanities unto the living
God.”
10. But Barnabas was not afraid
of controversy. He was no -middle-Off-
the-iroad, .peace-at-any-iprice man.
When certain Jewish believers at
tempted to teach that the Christian®
should not be saved unless they kept
the law of Moses, “therefore Paul
and Barnabas had no small dissen
sion and disputation with them.”
Such teaching would have worked
the testimony of the Church and
would have destroyed the true mes
sages .of the Gospel .of Jesus Christ.
Therefore it was withstood strenu
ously and with deep conviction on
the part of Paul and Barnabas.
11. These tiwo men, with other be
lieves, were sent to Jerusalem to
have the question settled by the
apostles and elders, and the famous
Council at Jerusalem was .held—one
of the pivotal, epoch-making events
in the history of the early Church.
Barnalbas, with Paul, was a bold
witness to the touth, and the testi
mony of the GQspel was saved.
12. Finally, we read of “our be
loved Barnabas and Paul,” that they
were “imen that have hazarded their
lives for the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ." No higher tribute could
be paid to any man. And it is in
teresting to note that the literal
meaning of the word translated
“hazarded” is not “risked” or “en
dangered,” but rather ‘handed over’.
Barnabas had handed over his life
to the Lord Jesu®' Christ. He had
done what Paul wrote about later
by inspiration, “that ye present your
bodies a living sacrifice.” Only eter
nity can> record fully the results of
the life and work of a man who
does that.

Weary Housewives Should Fight
Against Physical Exhaustion
Housework becomes a drudgery when the sense
of duty has to fight against depression of spirits
and physical exhaustion.
The overworked housewife becomes nervous, run
down and tired out, and the simple household
duties seem like a mountain staring her in the face.
Thia condition often results in complete disability,
unless remedial treatment is adopted.
In the absence of any serious complications
Milbum’s H, & N. Pills may be taken with every
confidence to restore new life and vigor.
Get a box from" your druggist. Take them
regularly for the most beneficial results.

OWNERS of the Master Chevrolet are mighty proud of this car—
proud of its new Turret Top safety and beauty, of its Blue Flame
Engine performance and economy, of its Fisher Body quality*
But one thing above all they can’t help bragging about—Chevrolet’s
KNEE-ACTION Ride I Take an airplane pilot. “You can’t tell me about
riding ease,” he says, “you’ve got to show me.” And Chevrolet
does! Its Knee-Action ride is a real “air-glide”. You float over bumps,
holes and ruts—the car seems heavier, steers easier, holds the road
better. You have to ride in a big air liner to match it!
