people in some respects. A few years
ago he greatly desired to visit England
and other European countries, and the
British government was anxious that
he should do so. But he did not ven
to do so without the consent of his peo-
Pile. SO he took a plebiscitum on the
subject. He sent a proclamation to
every village in his empire, telling
wha'0 he wanted to do, and explaining
the advantages that would accrue to
him and to the empire from such a
tour, and asking the people to take a
vote on the subject and let him know
the result. SO the question was sub
mitted to universal suffrage After a
few weeks the returns were all in and
were counted, and It was found that a
considerable majority Of the people
were opposed to his leaving the coun-
try. He was disappointed, but acqui-
esced In the will Of the people, and
stayed at home, sending his second son

LESSON STORY.

In the house of the centurion Cor
nelius, in Cesarea, the Roman capital of
Judea. Gentle assembly was waiting
to hear the Gospel from the apostle
Peter, Jew.
How strange this all was, in it's day,
is beyond even our present imagination.
There had been such sharp separa-
ton between Israelites and Gentiles.
and especially between the jews and
the Romans, that any candid interchange
of thought between them. or mutual
hospitality, had been morally impossi-
BILE.
The Israelites had regarded all man.
kind outside there own race-limits as
their interiors. 1t was a part of their
religion to regard Gentiles with scorn.
Whenever Gentle was converted to
Israel's faith in the One God, he was
permitted only to be ia proselyte of the
gate;" he was kept outside the gate
which opened to the Court of the Peo-
pie. or to an equal participation in Is
rael's religious inheritance. This jew
ish scorn was of course answered by
Roman scorn. Roman pride was. in it's
way, equal to the pride of Israel. Rome
now held Israel in It's iron grip. While
it was Rome's imperial policy to allow
its conquered provinces freedom in re-
ligion, it was inevitable that the Roman
estimate of the Israelites was that they
were ignorant, fanatical and bigoted.
The relation between the Romans and
the Israelites. therefore, was that Of
chronic enmity. They regarded each
other with sleepless suspicion and pas
sionate contempt.
Yet here. in the house of the Roman
Cornelius. in the Roman capital of Ju-
dea, is an assembly composed of Roman
soldiers and influential pagans. waiting
TO hear Jew tell the story of the Cruel
fed Jesus.
How had such an unwonted occur
renee been brought to pass?
Two visions in marvellous combina-
ton reveal to us the immediate cause.
Cornelius. while still pagan, had dis
carded polytheism; he had become en-
amored of Israel's One God. He had
doubtless heard the story of Jesus. 1t
may have come to him by common re-
port; for such story would quickly
spread through the land; or it may have
come to him from Philip the deacon,
who was probably at this time at work
as a Christian evangelist in Cesarea.
The story, however it came to him, had
deeply impressed the devout and gener-
GUS pagan. And while he was, four
days before. praying in his house, long
ing for revelation from the spiritual
realm, he had had a vision. In trance
an invisible visitant had given him
assurance that his prayers and aims
giving had found favor above. and furth-
ermore directed him to send to Joppa
for the apostle Peter. telling him that be
was to be found at the house of Simon
the tanner. by the sea. Cornelius be-
lieved this vision; he at once sent three

TEACHING POINTS.

INTRoDUCTIoN.-In abolishing the dis
tinction between Jews and Gentiles in
the ancient time, the spirit of Christ alb
olished it for all time. Phariseeism, how
ever it now assumes the Christian name,
can never be Christian, Recall in out
line Peters experience in Joppa. The
vision of the sheet was instruction
through a symbol. Visions are not al
ways to be trusted but their suggestions,
when reasonable and harmonious with
the nature of things, may be with profit
accepted.
a. V. 3O-33 CORNELIUS TELLS HIS
VISION The remarkable thing in this &C.
currence, the wonderful thing, is that
Cornelius and Peter should both have
visions at virtually the same time per-
tanning to the same matter.-However
unscientific visions as means of commu-
nicating knowledge may be, it would no
doubt surprise us to know to what extent
this method is now in use; to know how
many have had visions and believe their
visions. -Certainly some modern stories
of visions do not seem to be without some
substantial spiritual reality in them
Cornelius so implicitly believed his vision
or ay-dream that he yielded it instant
obedience; and so completely did he be-
lieve that Peter would come in answer to
his summons that he assembled his
friends and neighbors in his house at the
exact hour when Peter would be, after a
prompt start, expected to arrive.
or V. 34-43 THE FIRST APOSTOLIC
SERMON TO GENTILEs. The saying of Peter
that God is no respecter of persons, was
startling when it fell from the apostles
lips. 1t was contrary to all accepted ira
ditions, both among Jews and Romans.
Peter told the story of Jesus as a
story which originated among the Jews,
but which is no less of vital interest to
the whole world. A human attraction
in Jesus is that he went about doing good.
Jesus still heals those who are OPP
pressed of evil.-The reason why the
world must believe in Jesus is the mani
fest fact which Peter declares: GoD WAS
WITH HIM.-To our mind the testimony
to the Risen Christ given by those who
KNEW Christ, and could not be deceived,
neither could in the nature of things be
deceivers, is far more efficacious than the
testimony of an unconcerned and easily
deceived multitude Those only saw
Jesus in his temperance who were

INTRODUCTION.

The tenacity with which the first
Christians in Jerusalem chung to the
idea that Judaism was the only door to
Christianity was not, under the circum-
stances. strange. The first Christians,
we should remember, we're Jews before
thew we're Christians. They believed
their nation was in special sense Gods
nation. Their prophets, while in some
cases seers of the universal we're special
prophets to Israel. Hitherto all GENTLE
converts to Israel had been compelled to
acknowledge Israel's superiority. They
we're "proselytes of the gate;" they were
accepted as Israelites only by sufferance.
They we're never allowed to enter into
the Court of Israel in the temple-area.
Such partialism was deeply ingrained in
the Jewish character. The average Jew
believed that his clay was not OF the
common sort, and that his favor with
God was above that of other men. The
first Christians received this partialism
as their race-inheritance. when,
therefore, it was proposed to offer the
Gospel directly to the Gentiles. many OF
the early Christians were naturally
shocked. They had not learned OF Jesus
as one who showed disfavor to Israels
traditions. They had themselves re-
ceived the Gospel as the enlargement.
not as the successor. of the Mosaic
Law. The triumph of the Gospel
meant for them the restored glory OF
Israel. They believed that no Gentiles
could become Christians who were not
fret circumcised as "proselytes OF the
gate."-That they therefore were tena-
cious of their Jewish partialism. and for
assessor resisted the Universalism of the
Gospel. is under the circumstances natu-
raj. They could not at once understand
what it meant that Jesus so constantly
called himself The Son OF MAN.
