SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR
AUG. 59th, 5923
Lesson Title -Stephen the Martyr.
Lesson Passage -Acts 6:8-15; 7:.
54-60. •
Golden Text -Rom. 8:35
Christianity was at the first. mere-
ly a sect of Judaism. The Apostles,
did not break off from synagogue
and temple worship, nor cease; to ob-
serve Jewist rites. To these they
added belief in Jesus of Nazareth as.
the promised Messiah.
The, holding of goods in coniunon
Christians by the early was, not a
thing peculiar to themselves, for the
Essenes, a peculiar' Jewish sect of
that time had,' according to Bishop -
Lightfoot, long; practised•it, The
'earliest Christians,after their' Pen-
tecostalexperiences, l
tecosta coked forthe
immediate return. of Christ, and one
result of this. was i falling off in in-
terest in things pertaining to every
day life and work which led to the
having of . everything in common,
(Acts 4:32537)..This , practise was„

All that isknowni is

what is found in the 0th and 7t11
chapters of Acts, There we see his
charactei" his conduct and his vic-
torious death. •His character: -"A

Ghost," "frill of faith and power,"
These phrases bring into full light
the close touch Stephen had in his
daily life with Christ, For -Without

fe result of this was that he
�id
"great wonders and miracles among
the people," The distribution of
alms was now but a part of the w oa'jf
given him to do. He was an evanges
list as well as a .deacon and, his 'zeal
as a preacher brought him into prom-
inence so that certain of the syna-
gogue disputed with him, Historians
tell us that there 'were at this time
hundreds of synagogues in Jerusalem
and theones mentioned in verse 9
were most likely frequented by the
Hellenists of Rome, Greece and Alex-:
andria, Cilicia and Asia. To us the
most interesting of all these Greek
speaking Jews was Saul of Tarsus
who no doubt took part in thedispu-
tations which followed on the fervid
preaching of Stephen, The discuss
ion would centre round, in the beginn-
ing at least, the Messiahship of: Jesus,
the meaning of his heath, and the fact
of liis resurrection; "And they were
'not able to resist the wisdom and the
spirit by which lie. snake," We have'
an instance of the fulfillment of pro-
mise; "I will give you a mouth and
wisdom which all your adversaries
shall not be able to gainsay •or resist"
(Luke. 2'r:i5). They were not aware
that it was not merely Stephen but
the Spirit of God in him with whom
they were disputing and were, there-
fore, unequally matched, Defeated
in their arguments they resorted to
violence. They left no stone unturn-
ed for they hired false witnesses, in-
structing., them, no doubt, what to`,
swear against him. They based their
accusation upari seeming truth and
in all ages half truths have been hard-
er to meet than absolute lies.
"A lie waren is half a truth is ever
the blackest of lies; ,.
For a lie which is all a Be may be
met and fought with outright.
But a lie which is part a truth is a
harder matter to fight."
After seeming false, witnesses.
"they stirred up the people and eld-
ers, and scribes," until there -was :a
regular mob ready to rush upon and
seize him, and hurray him before :the
Sanhedrini, and afterwards exercise,
lynch -law upon him. Stephen was
accused of speaking against the Jew -

Erromaznga and its Martyrs
"Erromanga is one of the larger is-
lands of the group to which Captain
Cook, the great English navigator of
the eighteenth century, gave .the'
name of the New Hebrides._. It has
no harbors, but in several of its bays
good anchorage is to be found. Dil-
lon's Bay is the chief arid has been
for sixty years the principal mission
station on the island; and alas! the
scene of many a ghastly tragedy.
-No fewer than five missionaries gave
their lives for the sakeof the gospel
there. John . Williams,: one .of the
greatest ofmissionaries said of the
xlatives of arotonga, on. which island
ilitiebegan his. work: "When, I found
them in 1823,. they were ignorant of
ithe'nature of ;Christianworship; and
*lien I left them in 1834. I am not
a\vare that there was a house on the
1isltand.. where family prayer was.. not
observed every morning and evening"

Mrs. Gordon suffered martyrdom at
their hands. When the news reached
Ur. Gordon's island home his brother
James, offered himself in his place.
It was three years, however, before
he was settled there and took up the
work which had been cared for in
the intervalby native Christians who
were, greatly pleased on being told
that Mr. Gordon was going to stay
with . them. For eight years he lab-
