LESSON STORY.

We hear the first pfemonition OF SER
ious disagreement in the early Church.
There arose ntarnsuring Of the Grecaon
Jeays against the Hebrews, because their
acidoacs aUere negle cted an the ddtty
ministration. That is, the foreign born
Hebrews and proselytes who had syna-
gogues in Jerusalem of their own in
which only the Greek language was
spoken, complained to the twelve that
the INDECENT widows of their sect we're
not receiving a fair share of the material
help which was being dispensed to needy
ones by the church.
Here is the beginning of the struggle
at least it's premonition-betwee
the distinctive Hebrew party, which con-
tended that Christianity was an adjunct
to the Mosaic Law, and that it was re-
quisite that Gentle should become by
profession an Israelite before he could
become Christian; and on the other
hand, the Grecian or Hellenistic party,
which affirmed that the Gospel OF Jesus
birthright of all mankind.
This warfare between Christian uni
versalism and Pharisaic partialsm will
be for many years continued in the
church.
When the twelve were convinced that
the Hellenist widows we're neglected.
a fact natural enough when We remem-
Der that the twelve were all Galileans
and that the Hellenists were scarcely
able to understand the Galilean dialect
they took vigorous measures for the
correction of the evil. A convocation OF
the church was called. The apostles
proposed that seven men be elected to
serve as deacons, to have entire charge
of the dispensing of the churchs charity,
thus leaving the apostles to their more
legitimate work of teaching and preach
ing. The church instantly recognized
the reasonableness Of the plan. The
office of deacon was then instituted.
Seven deacons were then elected by
the church.
1t is noteworthy that these deacons
all bear Grecian names g.: 81.
OF the seven only two made immoIt
names for themselves in church history,
Stephen and Philip.
Stephen is the tirst-named of the dea-
coma. He is described as man full OF
faith and of the Holy Spirit
He was a scholarly, broad minded,
enthusiastic advocate of the world wide
application Of the Gospel. He was prob.
ably the first to emphasize the fact that
Jesus was the Saviour, not of race but
of the world He was the only one Of
the early teachers to follow the example
of Jesus and apply the title, SoN OF
Man, to his Lord.

BUTTER MADE IN TWO MINUTES.

A neighbor of mine several days ago
sent for one of those Lightning churns,
which are sold by firm over in Pennsyl-
vania. After it came we went over to see
it work We were all surprised, for it made
butter il two minutes, Just as they said it
would, and the color was so nice, too. 1
sent for one and since we have used it we
would not be without it for three times it's
cost. The churn works so easy and then
we get more butter than we did the old
way. l can appreciate the new invention
for know how disagreeable it is to churn
for an hour on warm day. My son is
making lots of money selling the churn in
this township and he never sold ANYTHING
before in his life. Those who want to
make money easy, can get full particulars
from Dept ~ of w. H. Baird & Co, Sta.
A, Pittsburg, Pa. Any one can make at
least 500 a month selling them, as every
farmer who sees it work orders one.

TEACHING POINTS.

INTRODUCTION Christ is the great mar
tyr of the ages; and next to him Stephen.
The contest between the Pharisaic
narrowness and world wide charity is now
beginning in the church. Stephen is the
first one, so far as we know, to aggress-
lively affirm that Jesus was what he so
constantly called himself, yet what no
evangelist or apostle had afterwards called
him,-THE Son OF MAN. Stephen believed
in Christianity as a religion which in
herits the world, and can be fairly SYM
bolized only by a temple not made with
hands and as wide as the sky.
O. V. $40. STEPHEN THE FEARLESS.
He preached the universalism of Chris t
tianity to the foreign-born Jews he met
specially in five synagogues in Jerusalem.
THEREBY he incurred the deadly enmity of
the Phariseesl
o. V. ILLS. FALSELY CHARGED WITH
BLAsPHEMY He becomes the object of an
organized conspiracy, shared in by elders
and scribes; he is arrested and taxed be-
fore the Sanhedrim. when he hears
witnesses testifying against him wit
satanic half-truth, almost exactly the
same as the false witnesses had testified
against Jesus in the same court, he was
wondrously happy. He knew martydrom
was the short way to heaven. He saw
the Son of Man at Gods right hand.
Tennyson says of him in this hour of min
gled agony and bliss
Fall IF
He prayed, and from happy place,
Gods glory smote him on the face"
49, Oh. z: $3.50. HE is FAITHFUL UNTO
DEATH. To the false charge that he had
preached against Moses and the Law, he re-
piled in an address which, if it had been
heard to the end, would have conslusively
proved that the religion of Israel is progress
sive, and has in it the germs of the religion
of humanity .-He was violently inter-
rupted he spoke plainly to his judges OF
their characteristic intolerance. His
Judges become like furious wild beasts
Without the formality of a verdict he was
hurried to the customary place of execu-
ton. He entered on the final scene of his
martyrdom uttering prayer for his muir
derers. The great stone was rolled up
on him; the witnesses prepared to cast
the fatal stones,-and SAUL, consenting to
the awful deed, guarded the outer gar
ments of the suborned witnesses while
they threw the stones at the dying martyr,
Stephen dies with the prayer in his
mouth which he may himself have heard
Jesus speak in his final utterance on the
cross.
Truly ''the blood of the martyrs is
the seed of the church. -
Stephen dies; Saul has seen him die:
Paul is to be born.

opened, and the Son of Man standing at
the right hand of God.
He sees in his beatific vision that mar
tyrdom is the door to heaven; he sees
also. in this supreme moment, that the
Son OF MAN, the Cause of man, is in the
place of favor, AT COPS RIGHT HAND.
The menagerie, misscalled court, raised
howl. Hands were pressed over ear
that could not endure such gracious
words of charity. Then the infuriated
menage,ie broke loose; the beasts couIo
restrain themselves no further. They
rushed upon him With one accord
Scowls, blows and bites we're bestoweu
upon the helpless prisoner.
Without the formality Of a legal ver-
dict Stephen was hurried out of the
judgment hall, the mob leading him by
a cord around his neck. The excited
procession moved out of the city-gate at
the eastward. to the place, within sight
of Gethsemane, dedicated to stoning to
death of the worst offenders against the
Law.
He was, according to the custom.
placed on an elevation twice his own
height, with his hands bound. At this
moment, while elevated before the mul
titude, Stephen fell on his knees and
prayed with loud voice: Lord. lag not
this sin to their charge. He forgives as
the Master on the cross forgave.
Then he was, with his hands still
bound, cast down from his elevation. A
great stone, as heavy as two men could
carry, was rolled upon him. While he
was under this crushing weight, prepar-
alton was made for stoning by the peo
pie. The witnesses, according to the
law, must cast the first stones.
When the suborned witnesses had cast
off their outer garments to be in readi-
ness for their cruel work, they laid doacn
their. garments at the feet of a youaeg
man named Saul. Mark this young
mani He is now part of this persecu
ton; he approves it all. But meanwhile
he is seeing sight he will never forget,
how Christian can die.
Even while the fatal stones are being
cast upon the dying man under the
heavy rock, he prays the same prayer
the Dying One had offered on the cross
changing it only by praying in the
Name to which he had dedicated his
soul: Lord Jesus, reeiUe mig spirit.
The bigots triumph. The martyr also
triumphs. Which is the true victory
future history will reveal.
