PRINTED TEXT, Acts 2:41-47; Eph. 4:11.16, GOLDEN TEXT. ---Christ also loved the church, and gave him- self up for it. Enh, 5:25, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—The two discourses of our Lord found in this lesson were given in the Autumn of A.D. 29. Pentecost was in the Spring of A.D. 30. Paul's persecution of the Church was previous to the year A.D. 35, when he was converted, The First Epistle to the Corinth - }ams was written about 59 A.D.; the Epistle to the Galatians, one year before that; the Epistle to he Epthesians, 64 AD.; the book of Revelation about 95 A.D. Place.—The words of our Lord concerning the building of His Church were spoken near Caes- area Philippi. The later discourse, from Matthew, was given near Cailernalum. The events recorded from. the book of Acts took place b Jerusalem; the city of Corinth was located in Greece. The city of Ephesus was located in the prov- ince of Asia. Many Believers Baptized 41. "They then that received his word were baptized; and there were added unto them in that day *bout three thousand souls." The Apostle Paul years laterain in writ- ing to the Romans, asked how anyone could call upon the name of the Lord to be saved except they believed of whom they had howout thv not heard, and could e. hear, unless romeone preached to them. "So belief corneth of hear- ing, and hearing by the word of Christ" 42. "And they continued sted- fastIy in the apostles' teaclbing and fellowsble, in the breaking or bread and the prayers." The Ap- ostle Paul, in stating the four ;treat things for w'aieh the Word of God was profitable, placed teaching. first. 'Unless we have the truth about our faith, our fellow - ebbe rests on 'false foundations, 43. "And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done through the ap- ostles. 44. And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 45. And they sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all, according as any man had need." Am , far as is known, this communal life was never prac- ticed outside of the city of J'er- eaim.. It was not obligatory on anyone. An Ideal Community 46. "And day by day, continuing etedfastly with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread at home, they took their food with gladness, and singleness of heave, 47. Praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to them day by day those that were saved." The believers were persevering in daily attend- ance at the temple as a body for public worship. But besides the temple they had their own places of meeting, or synagogues, ends es the upper chamber and Mary's Howse. Here, at home, they gath- ered together every evening for the breaking of bread. They par- took of their food both bodily and spiritually. This they did with joy and singleness of heart, or sincer- ity of character. These represent the true relation to God and man; the joy manifests itself in prais- ing God, and the singleness of heart, shelving itself in the wn- selfishness of their common life, wins favour with all the people, The ideal life of the community attracted many new adherents. Perfection of Saints 11. "And he gave some to be apostles; and smile, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pas- tors and teachers." 12, "For the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ." All believers are the saints of God, but no believer is made per- fect the hour of his conve:'sion. It will take all the experience of lite to complete, and perfect in us God',s holy purposes for each el! ns. 13. "Till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, mato a fullgrown. man, unto the meas - are of the stature of the fulness of Christ. 14. That we may be no longer children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind as doctrine, by the sleight of Hien, in craftiness, after the wiles of error; 15. but speaking truth in love, may grow up in all things unto him, who is the head, even Christ. If alt believers were ma- ture and perfected, they would all have the same great faith. This whole passage emphasizes the tee mendous need of teaching our people that in these days of multi- plied errors and subtle heresies, the children of God might not be deceived by wicked hien.

Last year, on June 27th, Dutob people in occupied Holland showed . their appreciation of Prince Bern- hard and their determination to remain true to their ideals by ap- pearing with white carnations— his favorite flower—in their but- tonholes—much to the annoyance of the German invaders.
