Stephen the First Gheistian Martyr.
-Acts 6; 1-8; 3. 6; 8-15; 7: 54-8: 3.
Commentary. -I. The seven deacons
chosen (vs. 1-7). After a time, when
the church. ,had 'become numerous, a
eom.plaint •was snande that partiality was
shown in the distribution of the common
fund. The Grecians charged that their
widows were neglected. The apostle im-
mediately called the church together
and asked that seven men be chosen
whose duty it esitould be to attend to
the distribution of t}he fund. This was
done, Stephen being one of them.
1T. Stephen falsely accused (vs. 8-15).
8. and Stephen -Very little is known of
the history of Stephen. It is thought
that he was one. of Peter's converts on
the Day of Pentecost. full of grace and
power (R. V.)----lfe was filled with the
Holy Spirit and had power, (1) as a
great reasoner and -(2) to work miracles..
He was a deep student of the Old Testa••
ment, a theologian of unusual aesight,
and showed a wisdom in spetseh that his
alversaries could uott gain, sly. slid --
"He was a man of deeds." wonders ---
This is one of the words used in the
New Testament to denote miracles, mit•-
aelese-;'Signs."---1t. V. "lis evroulght

of siekness and suffering.'

colony. Numbers of .sews. were settivll
there, and are said by Josephus to have
been a fourth part of the inhabitants of
the city. These .Tess also had a•syna

to the supreme dignity and authority

"Their falseness consisted in the pervert-
ed turns shiest they gave to the words
of Stephen.' 35. all- - , . saw his face -
.ATI eyes turned upon Stephen. As he
lad been inspired by the Spirit in his
arguments, so now, in the hour of trial,
the Spirit shone out upon his face to
testify of his presenee within'. of an.
angel -••-God's people shine brightest. in
the midst of the darkest and most se-
vere trials,
III. Stephen's defense (7, 1-53). After
the false witnesses had testified the high
priest asked Stephen whether these
things of which they accused him were
so, Then follows His defence or apology
in which. He gives a concise history of
the Jewish people. He answers the
charge of blasphemy by showing that he
'reverences the scriptures, and that he
holds the faith of Moses. He shows that
the gospel was a continuation of the
Mosaic economy, and that their exter-
nal rites foreshadowed the more perfect
;spiritual system. He charges them with
resisting the Holy Spirit and declare'+
that they were merely following in the
footsteps of their fathers who had slain
the very prophets who had foretold the
coming of the Christ they had killed.
• IV. Stephen's triumphant death (7. 54-
8 3).
114.. Wh n they heard -It is disputed
whether the speech was finished or not.
His abruptness in closing and the anger
of the Jews at this moment tender it
probable that he was interrupted. Cut

through, or asuudet. A figurative ex-
pression fov being greatly enraged.
gnashed on him -They thirsted for his
blood; ''snarled •like beasts of prey."
"Truth would always seem to- produce a
doable effect. ,`.r 'inetime ago we read
that when the people heard Peter's
speech they were pricked in their hearts,
and said, 'Men and brethren, what shall
we do?' But when the people heard .,Ste-
phen deliver substantially the same mes-
sage they were rut to the heart, and
gnashed on hirer with their teeth. This
is the history of preaching to -day." -
Parker.

full" implies, • not a sadden inspiration,
but a permanent state.-Pluniptre.

had foretold His glorification. -Alford.

on an elevation twice the height of a.
man, from whence with his hands bound
he was thiown down., and then a stone
as much as two men could carry was
rolled down upon hint by the witnesses,
after which.•all the people present cast
stones upon him, -Cam, Bib.
59. Receive my spirit-- :they stoned
him white he was praying. This is the
identical prayea- that Christ himself had
offered on the cross. Isere is clear proof
that it is proper to offer prayer to ,lesus
Christ. 00. Kneeled down-- A good posi-
tion in which to pray, or to die. Fell

awakening." 3. ,Saul was eonsenting-So

T. Fuil of grace- "Stephen, full of
grace" (v. 8, R. \',i Ate a mem he was
honest; as a deacon, powerful to work
worulers and miracles (v. 8); as a pris-
oner, radiant, rejoicing (v. 1.71; ; as a
preacher, scriptural (7: 1.50), eearching
(7: 61-53). irresistible i\•, 10): as a
martyr, full of the spirit of faith (\•s.
55, 50). hope (v. 50)love (v. 60). Spur-
geon say's,"It is renieticabli that Ste-
phen's is the only death scene described.

our Lord's. The kloly Spirit would not
have us attach so emelt importaneo to•
the manner of men's death'; as to the

IT. Falsely accused. "They snbotrned
men.. , and se't up false witnesses" (vs.
11, 13). The lae.t: beatitude is. "Blessed
are Vie, when mat . say all manner
of evil against you fat:eel a for my salve"
(Matt. 5: 11). If you Jieve given all
your money, time and influence to the

7.1T- Full of attraction. "All ,
looking steadfastly , _sow his feta
as if it had been the face, or an angel"
(v. 15). The face of an angel. at the
tomb of Jesus was "like lightning"
(Matt, 28: 3). God's res.sen.gera are "a
flame of fire" (Ileb. 1: 7). Moses' face
shone as he came from personal com-
munion with. God (Exod, 34: 30).

T. Filled with the Spirit. "He being

glory of (sed", (v. 55). A. J. Gordon
says that when reading the words, "That
we through patience and comfort of the
scriptures night have hope" (Rom. 15:
4). there came to bine a suggestion of
exceeding sweetness from the word
"comfort" in the original. The Sprit to
