(Acts 1:18.) Th© spread of Christianity thro­ ughout the whole world in the first century was a miracle. This lesson tells how the miracle began, and, the secret of, and reason for its contin­ uance. We begin a six months’ course on “The Spread of Christian­ ity,” studying The Acts, The Epistle, and The Revelation. Christianity spread only because the Holy Spirit came. Without His coming it could not have spread as it did. Christ and the Bible make this very clear. Is it not true that most people, even, most Christians, know very little about the Holy Spirit? They know something about the Heaven­ ly Father, and something about Je­ sus 'Christ, His Son. But what of th© Holy Spirit? We often forget that He is just as real and distinct a person as the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit is a member of the Godhead or Trinity. He is -not mere­ ly a force or an influence, as people l^kametimes seem to think.. We should irever .refer to the Holy Spirit by the indefinite pronoun “it,” but always by 'the personal pronoun “He.” He is called the Comforter and Ad­ vocate, both English words being translations of the Greek word Para- kletos, meaning “one called along­ side to help.” After Christ had finished His atftn- ing and redeeming work by His death on the cross and in His resurrection from the dead, the next great event was the coming of the Holy Spirit upon th© Church and into the lives of all believers in Christ. The Lord had said to His disciples the night before He was crucified: “It is .ex­ pedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you” John 16:- ,7). And unless the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, had come the Church could jiever have done the work Christ had commissioned her to do. . If men do not know that they need a Saviour, they will not turn to that Saviour for salvation; they will be . forever lost. One reason the Holy * Spirit was sent from heaven t0' earth ' was to tell men that they are lost ' and that only Christ can save them. ' The Holy Spirit convicts men of their • sin of not believing in Christ as their ’ Saviour (John 16:9). He glorifies ; and magnifies Christ testifying of Him (John 15:26; 16:14.) 1 There are three words, each be- ' ginning with W, that help us to un- ’ derstand and remember the distinc- ' A QUIET, WELL CONDUCTED, 'CONVENIENT, MODERN 100 ROOM HOTEL—85 WITH BATH WRITE FOR FOLDER TAKE A DE LUXE TAXI FRdM DEPOT OR WHARF-250 tive work or offioe of each Person I of the Trinity, th© Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We find them in Hebrews 10:7-15. The three words are Will, Work, Witness. The salvation and redemption of a lost world and a lost race origin- • ate in the will of God th© Father. So when Christ came to earth to save sinners He said,: “Lo, I come to do Thy will, 0 God.” The work of accomplishing our re­ demption was done by God the Son, Jesus 'Christ: “through the offering of th© body of Jesus Christ once for all . . . For by one offering He hath perfected forever them that are sanctified.” And how do we know about this —the will of the Father, and the work of the Son? “Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us.” The Will, the Work, the Witness, there are the three great offices of the Persons of the Trinity. After Christ had been had risen from the dead, appeared to His disciples other believers, He met in Jerusalem and “commanded that they should not depart Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, said He, ye have heard of Me.” He meant the coming of the Holy (Spirit. But they had a question to ask Him; “Lord, wilt Thou at this time restore again the kingdom of Israel? People often make the mistake pt thinking that the disciples were mis­ taken in asking that question; that is, mistaken‘in supposing that Christ was ever going to give Israel an earthly kingdom. But they were not mistaken in their question, for they knew that the Did Testament is fill­ ed with prophecies of an earthly kingdom being restored to the Jews. And God always keeps His promises. The Lord in answering" did not say that the kingdom was nev©$ go­ ing to be restored to Israel; He simply said; “It is not for you to know the times or the seasons.” He continued: “But we shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you; and ye shall be wit­ nesses unto Me.” On the day of Pentecost, fifty days aftei’ the resurrection and ten days after the ascension, the Holy Spirit' came upon the assembled dis­ ciples and other believers, suddenly, with “a sound from heaven as of a mighty wind . . And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them, utterance.” Men from many other nations and foreign lands,‘-assembled at Jerusal­ em, .heard the disciples speaking to them in their own, various languages Finally Peter stood up and deliver­ ed his great serman one of the great­ est in all history. The coming ■the Holy Spirit upon Peter him from a self-confident and craven coward into a humility and Christian touching his tongue with quence he had never had before, and opening his eyes to- the truth, and to Christ as the Bon of God and the Saviour,of men, beyond the best that he had even, known before. Peteros great sermon, given in the power and by the illumination of the Holy Spirit, showed his hearers that 'Jesus Christ, whom they had cruci­ fied, was the Son of God and the Messiah, of Israel. The Holy Spirit convicted them of .sin. He showed them Christ as their Messiah and Saviour. And in tha,t one day “about three thousand” were saved. crucified, and and with. had many them them from of changed boaster man of courage, an elo- LEAVING FOR PETERBORO A large number of friends of Rev.

Only those who have been through such an experience know anything of the heartbreak of witnessing, first the crop grow­ th checked, then to note the evidence of a crop shortage, to be fol­ lowed by certainty that there will be crop at all. Nor does, that end the misery. Because there is ho grain there will be no feed and the last cattle must be sold. There will be no shoes for the chil­ dren and no groceries -for the pantry, the medicine chest.- tuberculosis will incade; the mother will be taken to the and the father become a derelict.

Has Anglo-Saxon civilization during the last decade or so turn­ ed its eyes towards tombstones and monuments and relics and ruins rather than towards blueprints? We have been listening in on a number of addresses of one sort or another and have been impressed with the amount of talk there has been regarding travel in lands where history has been made but with the paucity of thought in re­ gard to the fuure. Is this to be taken as evidence of decay? It looks like it. Japan is not poking about amid the ruins of an­ cient times. Her mind is very much on the future. As best she can she is charting and planning for coming days. She is not making pictures of the water that has run under the bridge. That’s why she is giving a headache to anaesthised and sleep-walking AngIo->Saxon- dom. A whole lote of our statemen and business meh would be buried long ago were it not for the funeral expenses.
