Stephen the First Christian Martyr
Acts vi Il to viii g.
Golden Text-They stoned Stephen
calling upon God, and saying, Lord
Jesus, receive my, spirit. Acts vii 80.
Study Acts vi:8-15; vii :54 to viii 3.
Verse Who was Stephen?
In view of present day distinctions,
would you call Stephen layman or a
clergyman.
WHY is 1t not crime against the
gospel, that the preaching of tho
gospel is so professionalized, that our
pulpits to-day in the towns and cities,
are practically close to the laymen of
the church, so that even men like
Stephen, have to keep silent" IN our
church pulpits. (This question is to
be answered in writing by mem bers
of the club
What was the secret of Stephens
power as preacher, and to what eX-
tent may every layman become like
him.
Verse 9-When in a community of
thoughtful men, who oppose the
gospel, can its claims be established
better by debate than by ordinary
preaching or defamation.
Verse l0.-lf you defeat an opposer
in debate that is not likely to CON
vert him to Christianity; unless he is
IA sincere seeker after truth, but is it
likely to convert the hearers.
Verses lib. What effect did Step
hens victory have upon his oppon-
ents, and what effect did it probably
have upon the audience.
Is there any necessary moral value
in mere opinion, and will men ever
be condemned because of wrong doc
trines; i. Q. wrong opinions.
When "a man with right views of
truth, gets angry at the man with
wrong views, and does mean things to
him, that the latter takes with gentle
ness; which is likely to be the better
man of the two.
Why is it that men who profess re
ligion, can act so like devils, when
new truth is presented to them as in
this oaseY
Verse 4-Can a mans word in re-
lIgious dispute, be depended upon,
on a matter of fact, if he Is untrue to
his conscience aud to God.

Suggestive Questions on the Sunday School
Lesson by Rev, Dr. Linscott for the
international Newspaper Bible Study Club.

How is it that unrighteous men will
fight for their false religious creeds,
and shrink from no sort of rascaIity
to accomplish their purpose.
Can you give any other reason than
their unrighteousness, or assign to
any other principle, the hatred of
these men for so lovely character as
Stephen.
Verse l5.-Did the fact that Stephen
looked like an angel, make his perse-
cutors love him, or hate him more.
Chap. T., Verse 54.-What is it
which cuts wrong doers to the heart
more than anything else.
\ If these rulers had been innocent
of the charge Stephen brought against
them, would they have been cut to
the heart as they we're.
Verse 55.-What do you understand
by Stephen being full of the Holy
Spirit.
What did Stephen see when he look
ed up into heaven.
Would the onlookers have probably
seen the same things, as Stephen, if
they had looked up.
Verse 56.57-Did they believe Step
hem g testimony as to what he saw.
DO cold professors of religion as a
rule, have any confidence in the eX-
periences of those who walk and talk
with God.
Verse 58.-How would these people
justify themselves. for committing
this great crime.
What was the method of stoniug "a
victim to death.
Verses $500. Does the spirit sleep
at death, or go into a state of con
scious presenceswith God.
BY what power can man love or
forgive his murderers.
Chap. s. Verse l-3.-What was the
measure of Saul's sin in the stonipg
of stephen.

 the M., K. and T. and the Rock ls- land, will file incorporation papers at Guthrie, Okla, soon and the officials of the road announce that construc- tion will begin immediately. The pro posed line is GA miles long, and while the promoters decline to acknowledge that the Katy or any other corpora tion is back of it, there are many out siders who look upon it as a Katy move, the belief being general that the road has been anxious to get a Fort Smith connection for many years The company already has a spur re- gently purchased from the municipal water company which gives it an en- trance to Fort Smith without opposi- tion from the other roads, and it will only be necessary to build a 250-foot bridge to get into Oklahoma.
