After that the deecent into Rades

stories the way she used to laugh.
In the naidet of one she tried to Con-

dred soldiers. "These were the neves-
sary troops to support the tante and

measured up to the light given him,
ile watched, fasted, prayed and gave

86. The word -The message of the
gospel. The record of the work of
Jesus of Nazareth. Unto Israel -The
descendants of Jacob, the chosen
people of God. To them it was first
preached, and through them Halve-
tieli Mille to the race. Jolla iv. 22,
Rom. 1. 16. Preaching peace -1 reach-
ing the good tidings of mitotic/it.
This included the whole of gospel
truth.
87. That word ye know -They
were not unacquainted with this
message of peace. It had been pro-
claimed througliout all Judea and
Galilee, from the time JoIra begat,
to preach. Luke iv. 11, 87, 44; ix.
0, xxiii. 5. They in Caesarea had
heard of its being preached to Israel,
by the preaching of Philip, the evan-
gelist. Acts via. 40.-Whedon.
88 Anointed Jesus of Nazareth -
This inaugurated Him into His office
as the apostle and high priest of the
Christian orotegsion. Heb. 1. 9, 111. 1.
According to the prophets the Mos,
sleet was to work. miracles ati
proof or His Messiahship. Holy Ghost
ane %rah power -This proeleimed Him
to be the Mist, Luke iv, 18-21, and
invested him with the ineignia. of His -
Messianic office.
89. We are witnesses -Because
Peter and the other apostles had been
with Jesus from the beginning of His
ministerial life. Luke xxive 48. "They
were not objects of superstitious
reverence, but simply witnesses to
the great historical facts on which
the gospel is founded." Land of the
,Tews-The countries of Judea, Gali-
lee and Perea.

peated predictions of the prophets

tion of Christ with the seal of His
Iteselahship. Showed Illin-See It. V.
The evidences of the reeurreetioa of
Christ are indisputable.
41. Witnesses chosen -Those sel-
ected for the purpose. 1 Cor. xv. 4-8.
"Had He showed Himself to e,11 the
people Ile might have had a second
rejection." We have no evidence that
Jesus showed Himself after His re-
surrection to any but His personal
followers. Did eat, etc. -See Luke
xxiv. 42, 43.
42. Commanded -He shows Cor-
nelius his commission from Christ.
Matt. xxviii. 10. Preach...............
They were not only to expound the
truth concerning these fundamental
facts. but also to bear witness to
what they had seen, heard, and ex-
perimmed. 1 John 1. 1-3' 2 Peter 1.
16-18. God's true tninisters both
teach and testify. Judge of quick
and dead -Of the living and dead.
By title we are to understand that
Christ would judge all who had lived.
or were then living, or who would
live.
43. To Hina, etc. -Not any parti-
cular prophet, but all directly or in-
directly bore testimony to Christ as
the Saviour of all men. Remission of
sins -The taking away not only the
gent, but also the power, nature, and
-consequences of sin. Tale ite man's
greatest need.
44. The Holy Ghost fell -They
were endowed with miraculous pow-
ers, and enabled to speak In Ian -
gauges which they hail never learnel.
Compare ehap. xi. 15 with IL 1-13.
At this time their hearts were puri-
fied by faith; eea chap. ea. 0, where
Peter himself says dietinctly that
such was the case. The church needs
the same baptism to -day.

amazed that Gentiles should be ad-
mitted to tap same favor as them-
selves.
