boy John Mark grew to manhood, and
in all probability was the Upper
Room. He was outside the narrow
ness of the Capital and held property
in the island of Cyprus where he is
last seen busy with its evangelization.
Being in Jerusalem in these stirring
days and finding the needs what
they were he sent home for funds
that were realized by the sale of his
property-all or part no man can
say-but he brought it to the Apos-
ties for the use of the Brotherhood.
Naturally there was appreciation for
the whole atmosphere would be that
of praise and expectancy of good
from every member. Growth would
be rank whether flowers or weeds.
THE RARE ATMOSPHERE
Sometimes an elevation is too
great for a person to live in its air
and death is the result. The atmos-
phere of this Brotherhood was clean
and rare enough to be deadly to sin.
That is the outstanding thing with
the story. There have been sinners
in all ages and they are still with us
but the Church whose life is so holy
as to cause sin to die in its presence
and carry the shriveled body of the
sinner with it is rather out of date.
That spiritual fame burned as we'll as
warmed and we fear today to invoke
it rather than that earlier group
feared to be without it. This couple,
perfectly respectable, possessing bit
of land sold it and were entirely free
to do as they willed with the pro-
ceeds. They wanted the praise but
they wanted the price also. Delibera-
tely they planned the affair that re-
veals their bargaining souls in such
sordid fashion. Peter would be the
best of the Disciples to speak a word
to them because of his own slip but
his was in the sudden onset and one

is yAAs is mine," but all said what
is mine is Gods and it was to be
used for Him. The secret is in that
reached up hand placing all things in
Gods hand. They were administer
ing for loves sake and rejoiced in
doing it. Ordinarily each would have
given a tithe but in the emergency
they would meet the needs of the
Lords body with all they had. Some
times tenth is pitifully small for a
Christian to use for the Kings serv-
ice. Two consequences emerge one of
which is the impact of the witness
for it was with "Great power"
Given Church so possessed with the
Spirit of Jesus as this and the prea-
cher will be a flaming light for he
will be but the wick thru which the
oil of grace in every soul feeds. 1t
is the old "Flying Wedge" of the
football field in which the whole
team thrust its weight against the
opposing line. No wonder the San
hedrin declared they had "filled Jeru-
salem with their teaching" And the
Church of burning hearts is the only
sort that will meet the needs of this
newer day. The other consequent was
that Great grace was upon them

THE NEW NAME
Barnabas, the nickname for Joseph,
that has caused his original one to be
forgotten, was "Son of the Spirit"
for the root goes back to the term

Upper Room, II will send you another
Comforter" Comforting, exhorting,
he goes on his way thru the pages of

find him. He was the brother of

that he would never have planned as
they did. His bitter tears would have
blotted the record of a penitent but
would blister the soul of the content
ed sinner. Christ could not abide a
sham and the Spirit of the World
Body of Him was so like His own
that this shell of man crumpled un-
der the touch Of it and collapsed

group of believers tho the severance
was clear-marked and one had to
come out in the open and declare him
self with bit more positiveness than
when it was merely a company of
Jews worshipping in socalled bizarre
fashion but still holding the approval
Of the authorities.
A spirit possessed them and they
prayed for boldness in asserting their
position and their only fear was that
they be "Quitters" from the defense
Of a great cause committed to their
keeping. Among themselves that
spirit expressed itself in absolute
brotherhood. Many stranded pilgrims
were in the city. Many city dwellers
were poor except in the riches that
couldn't be cashed at the world s
counters. Some had large possess
sions and the greatest miracle of all
was the fellowship born of the living
Spirit of God that made one family.
That "Koinonia," that Fellowship"
made them of zone heart and soul"
so that in very truth a new body was
inbreathed of the Spirit and stood up
on its feet in old Jerusalem, every
one being a member one of another
And that is the master miracle of the
ages.
THE NEW BROTHERHOOD
Men from many lands were joined
together by the bonds of Spirit into
that praising group that united their
prayers in the Temple and their purse
in the street. 1t was not an expert
ment in communism but an adventure
in grace. There was no abandonment
of property but a sharing of needs.
For the man who possesses needs the
channel of sympathy as much as the
man receiving its bounty needs it's
supply. In one the body would die
for lack of sustenance and in the
other the soul. No one said, what

CHURCH. Acts 4:1-5:11.
The multitude of them that believed were of
one heart and soul. Acts 4:32.
THE BEGINNING OF BATTLE
Christ was again put on trial. The
healing of the cripple had created
such a questioning that the author
tiles were determined to see if some
thing could not be done to arrest the
movement. The Sadducees started it
and the first hearing was before the
packed jury so that few if any Phari-
sees were present. The latter were
the patriotic party that had chiefly
opposed Jesus and, largely, upon
what they conceived to be patriotic
grounds. But these folk were con-
cerned over the resurrection and
would not have said anything if Peter
had ayowed his own power as the
source of healing but to link it with
a erucified Man was impossible. If
Sucn movement grew then their
foundations were torn out and their
fine office-holding building destroyed.
They fought against the living Christ
proclaimed by the Disciples. They
were not interested in finding truth
but in upholding an enriching theory.
1t was the beginning of the battle
that still RACES in the world between
spirit and material things. 1t was
soon to pass into new stages in that
old day but its root was and is the
most persistent thing in history.
Policy and life were in deadly grips
and the ultimate outcome was the
lost city.

Begin Fight Over
Radio Patent Rights
In Phila. Courts

Philadelphia, March 23.-Import-
ant radio patent rights are involved
in legal battle, which was begun
today in the United States district
court before Judge j. Whitaker
Thompson. between two radio manu-
facturers.
The plaintiff is the De Forest
Radio Telephone and Telegraph
Company which is seeking to have
patents granted to DIR. Lee De For
est for an oscilating audion declar-
ed valid, and similar patent own
ed by the Westinghouse Electric and
manufacturing Company, declared
invalid.
The suit is only one of number
between the companies, which have
sued each other in various courts
including New York, Delaware and
Washington. There arc yet other
suits pending in this district between
the parties.
The De Forest Company claims
it has decision by the United
States Court of Appeals of the Dis
trict of Columbia upholding the De
Forest patent, The Westinghouse
Company maintains the United
States Court of Appeals OF New
York has sustained the Edwin II.
Armstrong patent which is owned
by it.
The case before Judge Thompson
hinges upon the question, whether
De Forest or Armstrong was the first
inventor of the oscillator. 1t was
asserted that both the New York
court and the District of Columbia
court left this point open, and the
validity of the patents in the suit
will be decided by Judge Thompson.
