INTRODueann •—No ,body of thought-
ul men and women can unite their
'crew in service and worship without
sooner or later experiencing'' some
shade's of difference in opinion and
conduct. Human nature is very var-
ied, There are minds that are natur-
ally conservative and cleave to old
traditions. Others are eager for
change, and see the golden age ahead,
and are impatient with those who can-
not S66 with them. Nor is this neces-
Starily an evil, since difference . of
opinion and discussion are not perils
unless we exercise them in an unlov-
ing" spirit of rivalry. In the story of
the first council we have an instruc-
tive instance of this fact, while we
also have a model by whichthechurch
May, in every age, try to settle the
differences which break out among us.
iiia POINT AT ISSUE, 1-3.
V. I. The difficulty arose out of the
forward step taken when the offer of
the gospel was made to the Gentiles.
It had already been decided that mem-
bership in the church was open to all
those 'who came in faith. But the
method in which this was to be done
hadnot yet been settled, Some claimed
that the Gentiles should receive air-
cumeision and observe all the laws of
the Jewish people. This was the atti-
tude of the Pharisaic party, who evi-
dently had sent down their represen-
tf,,aivies to the church at Antioch. A
furtl n-auestitlf was, Whether the
Gentile convert could enter into full
social communion withthe ew: Thus
knowledge that salvation comes by
faith alone. Peter was' fellawed` by
a re,
k aur and Barnabas, who gave
hearsal of their work, and then James:
made a statement supporting the
views of fetor and adding a quota-
tion from Amos pr dieting; the return
of the Gentiles to the true faith. The
decision was then reached and it was
in favor of the policy of freedom. Cir-
cumcision was not to be regarded as
essential to salvation but the Gentile
converts were to. observe certain of
the laws of the Jews.

V. 2. The teaching of these emis-
saries came like a thunderbolt to the
new church at Antioch and created a
great confusion. Paul and Barnabas
es'ir'ently were leaders in the discus-
sion, and they denied the principle
which these Jews proclaimed. The
clrim was so impossible that Paul felt
impelled to use all his power in op-
posing it. The only course to follow
was to appeal to the church from
which these leaders pretended to come,
and it was decided to send a large and
MI-aorta/it delegation, Paul and Bar-
nabas and certain others. If the pas-
sage in Galatians 2 describes this visit
we may notice that Paul says definite-
ly that he had also received direct
commandment from God to attend. "It
was in consequence of a revelation
that I went up at all." We do not
know the other members of the depu-
tetion, but Titus was apparently with
them.
V, 3. The entire church was evident-
ly greatly concerned in this matter
and they all accompanied the mem-
bees fer some distance, probably to
Seleucia the port. As the apostles
jnurne' ed to Jerusalem they visited
the cities of Phoenicia and told of 16
their reat work among the Gentiles,
to the great joy of the brethren.
II. THE ASSEMBLY AT JERUSALEM, 4-11.

welcomed et the mother church, and
Paul and Barnabas publicly tell of
the work which they had done among
the Gentiles.

who had gene to Antioch and who now
repeated their demand that circumci-
sion was essential to salvation.

June and July the count }'y is all aglow
with other bloseoms; azaleas, white,

ing has its trellis of wisteria; and It
may be soon climbing lofty cliffs In
the mountains, running riotously over
vast ... spaces of rock, with its giant
purple clusters suspended in countless
numbers, some of them:from two to
three feet in length; Nor would one
omit mention of the camellia, the mag-
nolia and the japonica, which may be
seen ,adorning even hillsides and
hedgerows as well as parks and gar-
dens. Hills, 'downs and moors, too,
are covered with a wealth of wild
flowers of every color, but oftenest of

away like endless eastertide. The

Scarcely less alluring than the
cherry blossoms is tiro lotus. The
atmosphere is hot and humin, en-
abling' the giant blossoms to burst and
blush with warmth and health. One
of the most refined amusements of the
Tokyo elite, especially those of poetic
temperament, is to rise at dawn and.
go out to hear' the blossoms open with
a pop in .the lotus ponds, of which
there are. many ii'r the capital. Such.

orite resort for lovers of this pleasure;
for there the stillness of the :early
morning remains longest unbroken, ,

of the bursting buds is the moie,easiiy

ful bridges that areh some Indent of

glassy surface marked here and there
by largo, pink buds, rising .like tulips

there be a wind, blue-green wavelets
of velvet softness sway the many
bowls upturned to catch the moisture
and the dews of the past night. Here
and there are seen big blossomb of
pink or pure white, the =spring of
the previous day, and now decorating
a sea of green. The watcher on the
bridge concentrates an eye on the
largest soft plump buds."—L. Ingram
