We're astonshed because the Holy Spirit
| was also poured out on the gentiles. Why
astonished? Their astonishment can only
| be accounted for on the hypothesis that
( they expected that the gentiles should
! become Christians by way of the Law
/ of Moses They doubtless would have
I proceeded to administer circumcision be-
fore baptism had not God poured out the
Spirit upon them so that they spake with
/ tongues as did the disciples on the day
/ of Pentecost. That Peter understood this
miracle as evidence that the gentiles
could be baptized without circumcision,
is shown by his question: "Can any man
forbid water that these should not be
baptized, which have received the Holy
Ghost as well as we?" He spake thus for
the benefit of the six who had come with
lin, for they were the only ones who
would have objected to the baptism of
Cornelius household, and their only
ground of objection would have been the
fact that they had not obeyed the law OF
Moses. That this is an exceptional case
is clear from the fact that in all the
other cases of special mention of the
Holy Spirit being received, the reception
occurs subsequent to baptism. This case
is so manifestly special and exceptional,
the only one Hkened to the outpoUring
of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pente-
cost. that We cannot consistently deduce
a general rule from it. AS well might
deduce a general rule from Peters vision
and say that every preacher of the Cos
pei today may expect similar vision
to point him to every duty as to say that
every seeker after Christ today must re-
ceive such a woodworking gift Of the
Holy Spirit to prove to me that the sub
ject is qualified for baptism
On the ether side of the question some
one may adduce the case of the Samari-
tans in Acts S, and that of the twelve at
Ephesus (Acts 49, to prove that the Holy
Spirit is not given until some time after
baptism. But these were both exception
al cases: for il was the miraculous pow
er given on both cases, which could be
impaired only by an apostle and the lay
ing on of hands; and must be distin-
guished from the indwelling and comfort
of the Holy Spirit which is promised to
all who believe in and obey the Savior.
In the case at Corinth they had not been
baptized with Christ's baptism but
Johns, and therefore did not know that
there was a Holy Ghost. But even this
special case is strong evidence that the
gift of the Holy Spirit is connected with
Christian baptism. or else there was no
pertinency in PauTs question, Unto
what then We're ye baptized?' which he
asked when he discovered they knew
nothing about the Holy Spirit.
The case of the Samaritans Is different.

SIMPLE GOODNESS.

man ever went to heaven without hav-
ing a heavenly heart. His creed had
nothing to do with his getting there
A thousand creeds will not save you
unless there is something behind you
Not what you believe is of consequence
but your attitude toward whatever is
good and true and noble. A good mo-
tive is far more effective spiritually
than a good thought; for you may have
the thought but not the deed which is
it's natural result, whereas if you have
the motive the deed will follow with
out being urged.
Practical religion requires You to
show some reason why your life should
be prolonged day by day. You owe the
world a great deal more than it owes
you. You are under a moral obligation
to do something or to say something to
some one of your fellow creatures be-
fore you have any right to ask for re-
freshing sleep You have lost a day
unless you have given your share of
the impetus which drives souls upward.
Life which consists of breathing and
eating and an enviable environment is
the life of an animal; it counts for
nothing. The soul must be fed as we'll
as the body, and it fiourishes in health
only when you love your kind and are
ready to lift the load from the Shout
ders of friend or stranger without the
hope of any other reward than the APP
prevail of God and the smile of the an
gels.
If you will you can make Your life
grand in that way. Get for yourself
and your family, but as you get give.
The giving and not the getting is the
main point. Close your eyes on no day
without a kind word, a bit of advice,
something which shall fall into the
general treasury as a coin from the
mint of heaven. That is chivalry that
is manliness; that is religion. Christ
gave all, and such was His nature and
mission that He couldn't have given
less; but we can give little, and that
little will prove the foundation of a
happiness which shall fill the present
with peace and happiness and irradiate
the future with the hope of a blessed
immortality. A good deed is a bit of
heaven. and the more good deeds the
more of heaven. The love of self is cru
city to self; the love of others is God
like. If you cross the valley with your
arms full of greed you will be a stran
ger in the new climate, but if you can
carry with you a heart that has beat
warmly for mankind you will find a
generous welcome beyond the grave

WHAT IS TO BE OBEYED?
What, therefore, is to be obeyed in
coming to Christ? 1 am neither qualified
nor authorized to say; therefore 1 go to
the Word.
The record in Matthew says: "An au>
thor.ty hath been given unto Me in heav-
en- and in earth. Go We, therefore, and
make disciples of all nations, baptizing
them into the name of the Father ana of
the Son and OF the Holy Spirit, teaching
them to observe all things whatsoever 1
commanded you: and 10, I am with you
Away, even unto the end of the world"
In Mark we have: Go We into ali the
world and preach the gospel to the whole
creation. He that beIieveth and Is Dap-
tized shall be saved; but he that disbe-
lieveth shall be condemned" Luke re
cords as follows: THUS il is written that
the Christ should suffer and rise again
from the dead the third day: and
that repentance and remission of sins
should be preached in His name unto all
the nations, beginning from Jerusalem"
Quoted from the Revised Version.)
Three conditions of salvation are clear
l. stated in these quotations from the
commission, as recorded in the synoptic
gospels. to be Faith, Repentance and
Baptism. Faith in Christ is produced by
preaching Christ and Him crucified. This
faith leads to repentance and the peni-
tent believer is indisputably proper sub
ject for baptism-that is for an express
sion of his faith-an overt act of obedi-
ence; for no one can claim to believe in
Christ, and to have submitted to Christ.

MOST NATURAL CONDITIONS.
So. then. these conditions are the most
natural We could expect, and in no sense
unreasonable. after Christ had determin-
ed that baptism should be the overt act
of oedience Law can be briefly de-
conditions we have the law by which
people become Christians, the law in
obedience TO which a man brings himself
to the point where God can formally re-
nit his sins and give him the Holy Spirit
to abide in him; for the blessed Paraclete
cannot be given before sins are forgiven.
And. naturally enough. Peter so under
stood Christ's commission; for in his
Pentecostal sermon, the very first SER
mon preached after Christ's ascension, he
recognized and taught the very condition
stated in the Scriptures adduced from
which we gamer THESE coiid-tlOiiS- refer

Jesus of Nazareth, who went about
doing good.-Acts, x:33
l said to a very wise friend the other
day that one of the discouragements
of life is the lack of gratitude on the
part of those whom you have helped,
at perhaps considerable cost to your
self. 1 had a peculiarly exasperating
instance in mind, wherein / had done a
signal service and it had been received
as a matter of course.
His reply rather startled me. If we
are really of one family, he said, and
God is our common Father. the poor
est sufferer would have divine right
to call on us for assistance and an
equal right to expect us to furnish it.
Religion. however, is so little a reality,
and so largely a dream, that we think
ourselves peculiarly virtuous when we
go ont of our way to do a neighbor a
good turn, and take credit for an act
which ought TO be regarded as a mat
ter of course. In a better world than
this, and in this world when it becomes
what the Christ sought to make it,
any attempt to avoid lending a helping
hand must be followed by pangs of
self-reproach. In such world selfish
ness is the very prince of darkness. the
fertile source of all possible evils.
AS to gratitude for your acts, you
have nothing to do with it. If You get
it you may take comfort to yourself,
but if you fail to get it the quality of
your act remains the same. You are
Christ's servant and so bound to put
your shoulder 10 wheel that is mired
whether you receive thanks or not. To
expect gratitude as kind of quid pro
quo is TO inject a commercial element
into your life which is quite unworthy.
good action Will stand alone in any
part of the universe, and if men for
get to thank You God will not.
Some men do right and keep the COM
mandments with the hope of thereby
getting to heaven. 1t is the principle
of quid pro quo again and is not to be
tolerated. The right is the right, and
though you were damned for doing it
it would still be your duty. You have
nothing to do with rewards or punish
ments. and the more largely they enter
into your calculation the lower the
moral level you will occupy. Goodness
is goodness, and the result it produces
in the development of character, in
sturdiness of manhood. in the fine met
tie of honor and nobleness, is the only
reward you can honestly look for. No
