Text of the Lesson, Acts iv, 32, to v, 5. Memory Verses, 34, 35 -Golden Text, 1 Pet. i, 22 -Commentary Prepared by r Rev. D. M. Stearns. The topic of today's lesson Is "The Christian Brotherhood at Jerusalem," but as ball of the portion assigned tells of the failure of that brotherhood in the case of Ananias, and we have no further study in chapter v, the re- mainder of the chapter being very im- portant, it would seem wise to devote most of our time to the further testi- mony of peter and its results. The one heurt and soul of the be. tlovets and the' common fund from which all were helped was certainly a beautiful brotherhood, but the de - telt of Ananias and the murmuring of the Grecians rather spoiled the bar- mony. The self life which remains in the believer and the deceit and wicked- ness of every, human heart makes it next to impossible for even the small- est company of Christians to be of one mind very long about anything. if all could be fully yielded and have bo Will but His, no sett pleasing and no pride or ambition it might be pos- sible. Because of human frailty I cannot use the "with one accord" in our Prayer service, but Invariably omit It, While Barnabas, the son of consola- tion. sold his land and laidthe pro- ceeds at the apostle's feet, it would seem that his sister Mary, the mother of John Mark, kept ber home and bad the believers meet there for fellow- ship and prayer (Acts xis, 12; 0o1 iv, 10). We must not follow others in what they do, but each for himself say, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?" Ananias and Sapphire did not need to sell their property because Others did it, and when sold they did not need to bring all the proceeds. Their sin was in their professing to give all, but keeping back a part, and thus lying to the Holy Spirit. l.,o(1 is the God of Truth, the Spirit is the Spirit of Truth, and Jesus Christ is the Truth. They desire truth in the inward parts (L's. 11, 0), and :fngbt else Is a grief w them. if all deceivers 1tuc1 liars were dealt with as these two were, what a lot of funerary there would be and what a thinning out of church members! 1t surely becomes us ail to pray the prayer of Ps. camels, 23, 24, and to aim at nothing less than an 'honest, whole hearted surrender to Film who has bought vs with such a great price. Al verses 12-15 of our lesson chapter (chapter v) we see the risen Christ allowing Himself antro by signs and wonders and beatings throngh these human channels, and multitudes of men and 0'010051 believed and wore added to the Lord (verse 14). It. does not count for. anything to ba added to a list of chureu.tbembers unless truly added to the Lord, Ole said, "Every plant which my Heavenly Pettier path not plauteth than be rooted up" (Blatt. xv, 13), 'The power of God so stirred the ad- versary that his followers were filled with indignation and laid hands on the apostles au(1 put them in the com- mon prison (verses 17, 18). The Lord In Heaven was watching over His own and sent a messenger from heaven to open the prison door's, bring the pris- oners out and send them to speak in the temple the words of life. When the morning came there were no apos- tles ei the prison, bet they were found in the temple teaching the people, and tbe high priest and council and sen- ate being assembled, the officers found them and brought them and set them before the council. Now, for the sec- ond time, Peter has the privilege of honoring Teslas Christ before this au- gust assembly. The high priest asked how it was that when forbidden to teach in the name of Jesus Christ they hacl persisted in doing 'so and bad filled the city of Jerusalem with their doctrine. That was a good testimony to the zeal of the apostles in their de- votion to the Lord, for it would be difficult today to find a city filled with their doctrine. It sounds strange to hear him say that the apostles Intend- ed to bring the blood of Jesus upon them (verse 28) when they them- selves had said to Pilate, "His blood be upon us, and upon our children" (Matt t xxvli, 25). Peter tias very, clear and decided in accusing them of killing Jesus Christ, and now for the fourth time he repeats it (Acts ii, 23, 2d; ill, 14, 15; iv, 10; v, 80, 31) and more often asserts the fact of 1#is resurrection. As to obe- dience, there is only One to obey - "We ought to obey God rather than men." As in the case of Daniel's friends, there was no room for argu- ment, butsimply a matter of right or wrong, and the ivroug they would' not do. Peter did not hesitate to declare that the ,risen and exalted Prince and Saviour would give even t0 them re- pentaece and forgiveness or eels if they desired it and srthl that the Holy Spirit stood with thein ,i11 this testi- mony (vdrsee 31, .921 Peters teslili•I011y s0 angered them that they were. ready -lo Itili the apos- tles, hat the cutni.01 rot Gaulnlit1 saved the situation, and atter beating the apostle) •1)31 r09101)ing' the (olnlna11d' PAGE SEVEN . uuL to alacaK m rue. iia [Ile or Jeans cues COIlalder4110, :225 less open apae0 let them go.

Almost every farmer is interested in growing alfalfa. Some have tried it and failed. Many have succeeded and are reaping the benefits of this wonderful crop for live stock farms. As a hay crop it excels all others in yields, feeding value, drought resist- ance, and soil enrichment. Yet it is not advisable to attempt to grow al- falfa under all circumstances. It is a rather particular crop, requiting certain soil conditions and proper treatment, The beginner in alfalfa growing must first of all be a student of alfalfa. He must study the crop and learn its requirements.
