THE CONFERENCE AT JERUSA.
LEM.
Lesson VIII.-May 80, 1897.
Acts XIV. I-6; 22-29.
INTRODUCTION.

Pharisaism, or partialism in relig-
ion, was too deeply rooted in the Jewish
character to be easily overcome by the
upiversalism of the Gospel. TWAS hard
for some Jewish Christians to surrender
the inherited opinion that their race
monopolized the Divine favor. They
could believe in Jesus as the Son OF
David, but not as the Son of Man. Our
lesson today shows us how this vital
issue,-namely. whether Jesus is to re-
store Israel or save the world,-was put
to the test. The partialists we're for the
time outvoted.- But Pharisaism is
manifestly agreeable to the lower range
of human nature. How many religious
people still thank God that they are not
as other men. 1--WE are Gods delight"
they declare; 1--WE are favored above
others; that man is hereto who de-
clares that all men are before God on a
common level" Yes, the Pharisaic
spirit is too pleasant to those who cher
ish it, to be easily dismissed into its ap-
pointed final oblivion.--Nevert
less, universalism, equality, impartial
ity, is stronger spirit than partialism.
It has been driven out of the church;
but it has proved itself indestructible.
It is now finding it's way back into the
church. Men who live in the higher
ranges of their natures are becoming en-
raptured with the vision of the universal.
The day of the partial is waning. The
day of the universal is dawning. When
that aohich is perfect is come, that aohich
as in part shall be done aaody.

LESSON STORY.

Paul and Barnabas, after having
organized the churches which they had
founded in Asia Minor. returned to the
greater Antioch. aohence they had been
committed to the grace of God for the
Dork aohich they had fulfilled. 70 the
assembled church they told the event
full story of their iourneyings and striv-
ings in foreign lands. After their alb
sence of two and half years to be again
among their well-tried brethren in their
own mother church was, we may be sure,
welcome grace to their hearts.
But soon the peace OF the church IN
Antioch was disturbed.
L. The Question in Dispute
VS.. 1-6.
Certain men came doacm from Judea
and tauqht the brethren. saying. E1'
cent ne be circun,cised after the custom
of Moses, ne cannot be sdced. The
question is this: Is the Gospel OF Christ
a rear door to Judaism. or is it COM
plete faith. offering an open front door to
all men? Ia other words. is the religion
of Jesus thing which can be monopo.
lized by bigots. or is it an unlimited and
impartial grace to the whole human
family?
It was thought by Paul and Barna-
bas that this question was settled
nine years before. when the Fellowship
of the Jewish church in Jerusalem was
freely accorded to the Gentle church in
Antioch. To believe in Christ, to be a
CHRISTIAN, was then declared to be the
essential faith. But these brethren
from Judea now declare that the policy
Of the church in Jerusalem has been
changed. Is 1t possible that the Jeru-
salem Christians, insulated as they have
been, out Of touch with the great Gentle
world. have retreated to the Pharisaic
Standard Strange indeed, il they have,
yet 1t may not be an an utter impossi-
bility.
The question was strenuously dis
cussed in the church Of Antioch. The
champions of Pharisaism made some
converts among the Jewish Christians.
Their doctrine was pleasing to the mar
row pride of those who were assured
that they we're, by birth, superior to their
fellow-men. Gentle Christians were
worried over the assumptions made by
their Jewish. born brethren. The har-
mony of the church was broken; it's
unitv was threatened.
The Antioch church dealt with this
problem in the large minded spirit which
characterized it's entire administration
It did not accept. on insufficient evidence,
the report that the Jerusalem church
had changed its policy. 1t appointed
commission to go to Jerusalem and ascer-
tain the fast. Paul and Barnabas and
Titus (of whom we shall hear more), and
certain other brethren, constituted this
commission.
1t was like the large hearted Antioch
ian church to accompany their trusted
commissioners on a portion of theiI
three-hundred-m mile journey to the
Jewish capital.
1t was like the Jealous missionaries
that in their soutward journey they
preached in Phenicia and Ssmaria, anC
awakened the joy Of believers by thei
story of the conversion Of foreign Gen
tiles.

country, but county high schools in
each of the western counties would in
my opinion be equally potent factors
in such development"
Judge J. d. McCue, of the Eleventh
Judicial district of Kansas, in 1898,
had the following to say in regard to
the establishment of county high
schools to remedy the defect in our
system of education:
1.-THE object to be attained by the
establishment of schools of higher
learning is one that commends itself
to the favorable consideration of
every right-thinking person. In this
state we are justly proud of the means
youth of our state. In large meas
ure the rapid growth and develop
ment of the state are attri buted to
our liberal system of education. The
burdens imposed are cheerfully borne
by the people. We all recognize how
necessary it is to good government
that the people shall be educated
Vice prevails were ignorance exists,
and better citizenship follows in the
wake of higher intelligence. Save
and except the high schools provided
for by law, there is no intermediate
school between the graded common
schools and the university maintained
at public expense. But few of the
high schools of the cities in the state
prepare pupils for admission into the
university, or other institutions of
hi5her learning. To enable many who
d9sire a higher education than that
provided by the common schools, they
must enter private preparatory
schools.
ITO remedy the defect in our sys-
TEN of education, the legislature has
authorized the establishment of coun-
ty high schools, where three courses
of instruction are provided for, viz: a
general course provided Tor those who
cannot continue school life after leay-
ing the high schools; normal course
for those who intend to become teach
erS, and shall prepare any who wish
to enter the first year of the profess
LSional work at the State Normal
schools; and the Collegiate course to
fully prepare those who wish to enter
the E'reShman'S class of the State
| University, or the Agricultural Col
lege. or any other institution of high
er learning in the state"

ed that much pains had been taken
to arrange the stage and surrounding
work which taken together with the
necessary training of a claSS-arrang-

never done such work can have no no

put into execution to success. And
he must be a many sided person who

mean the teacher in charge, Prof.

beautiful duet by Mrs. Myerly and
Mrs. Bower Last mixture of some
kind by the full chorus. 1t began
with ''Auld Lang Syne," and after
running through the whole category
of songs, ended-well, in way to call
them back for another.
The OratiOnS by the four graduates
were all remarkably well prepared
and well rendered. Little Things
and What Came of Them by Miss
Nellie league would do credit to one
graduating from our higher institu-
tions. 1t was in the main a history
of great events of the world bnt es-
pecially of our own country which
have had their origin in small begin

careful preparation and its rendition

by some representations for the flu

clusion that he was not small in any
thing but stature physical.

selected history of some of the leading
men of KanSaS-men who had taken
part in the making of history. Such

was appropriately decorated and filled

men standing. The graduating class
consisted of Fred Musgrave of Dis
trict 30, Harry Pershing, District s
and John Harrison of District 3, and
each acquitted himself with credit to
his teacher and pleasure to the audi
ence. The other exercises consisted
of songs and recitationS, the most
prominent of which were the Sea
Islands" by Della CIPHER, and ''Sa-
martha" by Edna Mapes. Solos were
eXcellently rendered by Miss Ella Mar

class address by c. G. Yetter was just
such practical advice as all young men
should hear and heed. w. H. Swig-

were a number of teachers and others

A Timely Thought

Up to date fittings and modern
appliances are guarantees of ex-
cellence in all other particulars.
Good taste displayed in a well
kept and a well furnished store
implies GOOD GROCERIES.
The Grocer who has energy and
enterprise to keep his store in per-
feet shape is apt also to give per-
feet service and the highest grade
of goods.
A single transaction is no cri-
terion. 1t is the uniform treat
ment throughout the year that
tells the tale. Our motto is:
+: Lowest Prices Consistent with
Perfect Purity. Highest Quality and
Honest Quantity.
In fact our policy has always
been to meet any price made by
legitimate dealers.
Get our prices, examine our
goods and then we can please you.
