SUNDAY ScnOOl LESSON lOr August
Our subject is Witness and the
4 Scripture checked up for us is Acts
1871 to IL, but the Christian who Is
under the law, that God gave to Israel
to bring them to Christ-See Gal. j.
"a and 25-will find something for his
learning in the remainder of the chap
ter.
In this lesson we get the name Saul
Instead of Paul and Barnabas. What
blessing, what a power is church
that can send out such men as they
nothing like it under the sun. In the
last caluse of l Cor 1912 church of
that sort is called Christ, and truly
SO. A church like that in a neighbor
hood. They ministered to the Lord,
the tasted, but they were not found
in the easter ball on Monday night.
The Lord said and they heard Him,
end they obeyed. Some churches
would have said, we can't spare them.
No they wouldn't, because they who'd
say that never have that kind and
they can't hear His voice. When |
started out in the evangelistic work
/ thought l knew the worth of Bible
study. At Indianapolis, Ind, I'd get
started to talking Bible at the break
fast table. Only a few days until |
was there with most of the homes un-
til near noon. Soon | saw | was go
ing to be like the river boat Sam
Jones told about. The whistle was
so large and the boiler so small that
when he was done whistling he had
no steam to get out of town. So the
next place, 1 tagged breakfast and
would not get my dinner until after
my shop meeting at the noon hour.
Yes, for few days | got hungry, but
say, the value of the forenoon on my
Bible was worth all and more to my
soul and work. Well, they'd not gone
far until Paul headed into a bad ac-
tor and he gave him the right name,
child of the devil. See verse 10, and
notice his name, Bar Jesus. One
has said, he is hooking us, and don't
you know we can still find his kind.
Some are little two by four fellows,
bbut some have the ID. D., LII. ID. be-
fore and behind their name. One OF
them said to me, Il don't believe there
was job" | read Elk 14-14 for
him, There three men, Noah, Daniel
and job" Then he said, well, who
wrote that book, that is no good.
Then l said, | love you, you are
nice fellow, but l hate that stuff you
have loaded up, and | am told in =
Epistle of John, verse 10, not to let
you come in my house and by His
grace you nor your kind shall never
enter. Another told me, all this talk
about God giving His Son on the
cross for the sinner was slaughter
house religion and revaulting to his
best nature. You see the devil is after
us and he cant use the drunkard nor
the criminal, but the preacher, bless
you. Any where or any place is better
off without preacher or church
house than to have one like that. God
loves us and the whole race is sick
with sin and death is in the camp.
Sin caused death and it took the
death of Jesus to redeem. God loves
us so much that he'd stop at any
thing Some of the teachers in some
of the schools teach the stuff, that
those fel .ows have, because they have
tell for it-how blessed indeed that
only now and then one does. The
most despisable thing in God s sight
are those fellows, and the most
blessed on earth is the heaven-senti
man. You can turn him down but you
can't insult him nor offend him be-
cause he knows where the unsaved
man is and his end and all. 1t is
worth while to notice the word 'all'
in verse TO- Full of all guile and all
villany The enemy of all righteous
ness.
AS for Paul, it is little amusing
how some of our Lest bible men have
him fixed up, with bunch back sore
eyes,. short in statue, Suffering, but
read Acts 11-6, Lake APO and Acts g.
4. We never hear any thing in any
of those to make us think of sore eyes.
One has said, What if Paul had set
