BRACTICA.E. APPLICATIONS.
The Church Conference,
1. Ite occoelon (v. 1), IL WAS hard for
some Jews to give up micient traelitione
and prat:Hew to put .Cltristee words,
Cbriet's detail and Chrietes mediation,
instead a tee the sacrifices' and the
priests. Certain of' these, frera Judea,
went to Antioch, while Paul awl Bar-
nabas wero there, and declered thee no
Goethe, unless circumeleed after the.
manner of Moses, cottld be saved (v. 1),
"A good while ago" (v. 7), At tenet
fifteen years before the question bad
been settled "that Clod also to Ilk (en
tiles had granted repentance unto life"
(v. 7; 11: 18). But now these JeWit
raised tho question or the conditions
upon width these Gentiles might have
eternal Me. They claimed that circum-
cision esvae ceeential to salvation, that
to Ineeme a Christian the heathen must
first become a Jew. •They would not
listen to Paul and Barnabas, and a deri-
sion of the church at Antexet was im-
minent.
if, The conference united. "Then
pleased it the apostles and elders, with
the whole clench," (v. 22). They began
with "much disputing" (v. 7), but they
"put on love'. which is the bond a -per-
feetness" (Col. 3: 14, B. V.), and in
sending the letters by "chief men" (y.
22) to the Geutiles, all the body "were
of the saute -mind in the Lord." (P101.
4: 2), "having come to one accord" (v,
25 R. V.) The church, being "one" _btfdy
in, Clued; (Rom. 12: 13), Should be of
"one" mind (Phil. 1: 27), "endem'bring
to key the unity of the spirit" (Eph.
4: 3).
lir. The conference courteous, "Send
with Paul and Barnabas
chief men" (v. 22). Paul and Peter and
James lived out the truths they taught
to others (1 Cor. 13: 5; 1 Peter 3: 8;
Jas. St 17, marg.) The conference under
their _direction did not dismiss the depu-
tation with a cold and formal resole, -
tion. It sent two influential members
of the church witheptters to accompany
Paul. and Barnabas, and these greeted
the Syrian church and laid the matter
before them, and prevented a division
of the church. Otto day a little 'terrier,
gen into the lovely grounds which sur-
rounded hie home. saw a monkey, be-
longing to au organ -grinder, seated upon

had departed. The little meekefteaches
a good lesson. 'Courtesy will disarm
wrath.
"Two it takes to make a quarrel,
One can always end it."
IIr. The conferenee modest. "It seem-
ed good unto us" •(v. 25). • "It seemed
good to the Holy *frit and to us" (v.
28). They had the love which "vaunted
not itself" (1 Cor. 33e 4). They did
not needlessly give .offeneb to their
brethren, nor make a display of their

monies, nor taunt them for their 0411-

insult to God by reuouncing his in-
spired word. quit by abandoning the
religion Ito had given them; it would
destroy the very foundatimi of re-
ligion, of their secred scriptures, and
of the hope of man. And then, too,
there were groat social barriers be,
tween the jews and -Gentiles which
made it seem impossible for them
to live and work together in the
same church. It is the testimony of
moderrt missionaries that "caste" is
one of the greatest barriers in the
way of the work of the Lord. To the
Gentiles, it was. a question of Chris-
tian liberty, "of the spiritual wenn
of the kingdom, of the salvation of
the world, and of the highest fulfil-
ment of the promises."

vision (10. 9-16), and told them .how
the baptism of the Holy Spirit had been
given to the Gentilethe same as to the
jews thus giving the divine eiidorsement
to the new order of things. -Then Paul
and Barnabas addressed the assembly
declaring that God had endorsed jheir
actions by miracles and wonders 'Which
