True and false Brotherhood.-Ac
iv:32 to VII.
Golden Text - Lying lips are an
abomination INTO the Lord; but they
that deal truly are his delight Prov.
Xi. -.
Verse 32.-Are all who are one with
God, always one with each other, that
is "of one heart and one soul?"
Should a Christian consider that
whet he possesses is his own?
Would it b. either wise or desirable,
thai Christians should In this day,
have all things in common?
Was it Gods plan for them to have
all things in common in that day, or
did they allow their 1--we to run away
with their judgment?f
Verse SO. - What is the secret for
witnessing for Christ with great
poVer?"
Verses 34-35. - Speaking from ex-
perience and observation, how many
honest. industrious, God-fearing men
are there, that lack" any necessary
thing in this life?
Is a church under obligation to pro-
vide for the necessities of the poor in
its jurisdiction?
What ever may have been the case
folly in this Jay, for the members Of
the church to sell their possessions
and hand over the money to the
church?
Can person be a Christian. who
does not hold his property subject to
the orders of God for it's disposal?
VIII a Christian be as glad to give
his money at the command of God, as
to receive money from God?
Is faithfulness to God a sure cure
for shortness of money?
From this account, do you think
that they sold literally all their pos
sessions, or only their real estate?
Verses 36-37.--If Barnabas had sold
one-half of his real estate and brought
the proceeds of it, or had sold If all.
and brought one.half the proceeds, if
the community did rot need any more.
and if he told the facts, would he have
been just as we'll pleasing to God?
Verses 1-2.-What prompted Anan-
las and Sapphire to sell their prop
erty?
In what class do you put the sin of
pretending to be better than we are?
Why did they pretend that they had
given all the proceeds of their prop
erty to the apostles?
Why is it that pride is such a ter
rible sin?
Verses 3-4.-Why was the lie of An
anias lie to the Holy Spirit2
From Peters remarks, dosyou con
clude that the selling of their prop.
erty. and the disposition of the pro.
ceeds, was wholly voluntary matter?
Verses 5-6.-Was the death of An.
anias. judged by the standards of thar
day. just penalty for the sin?
What good did the punishment of
Ananias and Sapphire produce then
and since?
Verses 7-11.-Is there any reason to
think that the woman, wanting to ap-
pear big In the community. was the in
stigator OF this lie, and led her hus-
band into it?
What is the difference between the
sin of Ananias and Sapphire and a
man who gives a sum to Gods cause
saying it is all he can afford when he
can afford more?
Suppose a man gives less than he
ought to GIVE TO THE CAUSE CT
GOD does he commit, practically the
sin of Ananias and Sapphra? (This
question must be answered in writing
by members Of the club
What should be our attitude in the
distribution of our earnings to Gods
cause?

This blue-sky admiral is Sir william

Vice-Admiral May is one Of the
kings favorites. Like "Jacky" Fisher.
the first sea lord. he owes his advance
in the service to his royal friend. He
is naval A. ID. c. to Edward. n knight
commander OF the Bath and n knight
commander Of the Royal Victorian
order. He served in the Arctic expe-
dition In 1856. and was naval at.
tache for Europe In the days when
Great Britain thought that one such
officer was enough for the whole con-
tinent Perhaps his chief distinction
ia his knowledge of the torpedo and
its uses. OF which he is declared to be
one of the greatest Of living experts
He is. as well. said to be an extremely
high authority on naval gunnery. a
postmaster in the art OF making every
gun OF his ship tell on the hull Of an
enemy-although 1t must be admitted
that he has never had the opportunity
OF trying his skill on anything more
tangible or dangerous than canvas tar
gets.
Admiral May perhaps will be remem.
bered best by the people Of the United
States as commander-in-chief OF Eng.
lands Atlantic fleet in 1866. His
career since then brings to notice the
extraordinary advance that has been
made In naval construction. chiefly by
the building of the Dreadnought.
which. curiously enough. is Admiral
