True and False Brotherhood --Acts
4: 32-5: 11.
Commentary. -I. The ohurch in a
highly prosperous state (vs. 32-37). 32.
ll&ultitude..that believed -The whole
:five thousand mentioned in v. 4, and
probably many Moro who had been cou-
verted later. Of one heart Though of
different ages, dispositions and condi-
tions
onditions before they believed, and• perfect
Strangers to one another, yet, when they
xnet in Christ, they were intimately ac-
quainted. -Com. Com. Neither said any
of them -There was not a dissenting
member. No such thing as discord ex -
'kited among them. 9.11 things common -
'Such perfect confidence existed among
them that they assisted each other as
though they were members of the same
family. 33. With great power -The apos-
tles, enooutaged by a spiritual, praying
ohurch, preached with great vigor and
earnestness. Witness=The apostles were
'witnesses to what they had seen and
heard. This"' is a most effective way of
preachin. Of the resurrection -All, know
of the death and burial of Jesus. But
the enemies of Jesus would not believe
in His resurrection. "This was the main
pillar and chief corner -stone of Chris-
tianity, supporting and connoting the
whole fabric of it in all its parts." -
Bonson. Great grace -The word grace
means favor. The expression here may
mean either that the favor of God was
remarkably shown to them, or that they
had great favor in the sight of the peo-
ple. Upon them all -Not the apostles
only, but all the believers. 34. That lack.
ed -This was one reason for their fav-
or among men, for all could see the self-
sacrificing spirit that actuated them.
Sold therrt-It seems clear that all the
owners of real estate who belonged to
the church sold property. Things that
were sulci -Tie language here expressly
avoids saying that these men sold all
they "=had. They sold some things, and
the sum realized from what was sold was
offered to the common store. -Cam.. Bib.
The phraseology is not strictly univore
sal, expressing all. It was the voluntary
engem that whose had real estate should
Sell it, ail or in part.-Whedon.
35. -At the apostles' fee To be dis-
posed of as they should. direct. They
would 'lace better able to determine where
there was need. Raving a relief fund,
the apostles could draw upon it without
making every case publio. 36. Joses-
Or lfosoph. He is the well-known Barna-
bas, who i.e afterward frequently men-
1ioneifi, as an: associate of the Apostle
Pant He was a Levite. We are soon af-
terward told that even many 'priests be-
lievog (chap. 6. 7). "The surname of
Baenabas, which the apostles gave him,
alluded, without doubt, to an extraor-
dinary gift of the Spirit which was anan-
ifesteR in his addresses and. exhorta-
tions." -Lange. Of Cyprus -An island
in the Mediterranean sea, not very far
distant from the Jewish coast.
11. The church •strn,ggling with false
profeasors (vs. 1-11.) 1. But-" The 1it-
tieword 'but' is -the hinge, ori which
great' ie tees turn." -Arnot,' Ananias-
Jhm Meaning of the word is "Favored of
the lord," or "Jehovah le graei.ous.'
Sapphire -"Beautiful." Their characters
were in sharp contrast with their
names, ''here is a contrast between the
1',orreat liberality of Barn'abas and the
hypecrisy of 'Ananias and his wife."-
Ilurlbut. They were certainly not true

tended to make gin offering of all. 'this

»el'- His wile -This sin was premedi-
tated by both parties. They liad not set
their ax'et et1ons on the ;and, but the
money exceeds:ad such an iniluence on
tl em that they could not resolve to re-
sign the whole, and hence they could
not resolve to resign the whole, and
hence they retained a- part. They were
unwilling to acknowledge this fact pub-
Jie ly. Lan{re. 3. Filled thane heart -
Satan, the -Sather of lie's, it liar from the

Ananias and hie wife might have re-

to temptation. "They lied to the Holy

but to God."-Abott. 4. Thine own -
He might have kept it without incurring
the displeesur•e of the apostles or the
Lord. In thine own pow-'er--These ques-
tions show that the bestowi sent of
goods was 'perfectly voluntary and not a
law, and that the estate was a free and
deliberate act.: Whedon. Ananias -;'as

dered his entire property, but for false-
hood in professing to have done so

,4F' r°l, r tCt s am -3' yak's Heeling Power Proved
t� v= aci`te,4 by School Connt•t'iissioteer and
Baptist Deacon.
NE of the most recentconvertsto the
Zam-Euk method of treating and curing
disease is Mr. C. E. Sanford, of Weston,
i,d3€ a King's Co., N.S.
Mr. Sanford is a justice of the Peace for the
County, and a member of the Board of School
Commissioners. He is also Deacon of the
Baptist Church in Berwick. Indeed throughout
• u, �+i r the County It would be difficult to find a man
x re highly
more widely known and no respected.
r,>t4M
Some time back he had occasion to teat
Zam-Buk, and here is his opinion of this great balm. He says:-
" I never used anything that gave me such satisfaction as Zam-Buk.
I had a patch of eczema on my ankle, which had been there for over
twenty years. Sometimes, also, the disease would break out on my
shoulders. I had takers solution of arsenic, bad applied various oint-
ments, and tried all sorts of things to obtain a cure, but all in vain.
I was advised to give Zam-l3uk a trial, and as I am a firm believer in
Nature's remedies, I did so. From first applying it I saw it was
altogether different to the ordinary ointments and embrocations, and it
soon began to show signs of clearing away the eczema on my ankle.
This was ao gratifying, that I persevered for some time with it, and I
am gladto say it had the desired result. I am now cured of the
disease which defied every other treatment for twenty years.
"This is not the only direction in which I have proved the merits of
Zam-Buk. I suffered for a long time from piles, and I found a perfect
cure for this painful ailment in Zarn-Buk. Zam-Buk soothes the pain,
relieves the congested veins, and so restores the elasticity to the tissues
that the piles gradually but surely disappear."
Zam-Hutt is a positive and certain euro for cuts, burns, bruises, sprains, piles. festering
sores, ulcers, scalds, blood -poisoning, eczema, scabs, champed hands, cold cracks, chilblains,
ringworm, scale sores, bad ieg. diseased ankles, and all other skin diseases and injuries.
Rubbed well into the Warts affected, it cures ne n.il(a, rhenniatis,n, and sciatica. All druggists
and stores sell at 50e, box, three for $1.25, and post free from Zam-Sisals Co., Tomato, for
price. Refuse the harmful imitations spnieti,nes reeresanted to be ' Just as geed,"
