Sunday School Lesson

that bold and fearless condemnation
Of their guilt. He then became more
conciliatory, as he accounted for
their failures, by pointing out their
wickedness was due to Ignorance.
He then sought to encourage his
Jewish hearers to repent of their
sins, because God had demonstrated
by tie resurrection of Jesus that He
was the Messiah. whose power had
healed the beggar.
Not only did he press home to his
Jewish hearers the resurrection OF
Christ, concerning which event he as
sured them that John and he were
witnesses, to encourage them to re-
pent, but he pointed out that Christs
death was in accordance with the re-
quirements of the prophets. Another
motive for their repentance was the
fact the Lords return hinged upon
their acceptance of Him as the Mes
siah. Peter considered all the prom
ises concerning the return OF the
Lord were of a national character.
He believed that the faster 1sra el
turned to Jesus, the sooner would
Jesus return to Israel: for, as Peter
wrote a great many years later, the
Lord Is not slack concerning His
promise to return; He is only long
suffering, not willing that any should
perish"
While Peters bold and aggressive
message moved the multitude to re-
pent, 1t aroused the anger and oppo-
sition of the leaders. The promise
of the Lords return, which implied
His resurrection, appeared 10 threat
en- them with a return OF all the
trouble that they had made for them
selves, when He was present with
them in the flesh. They feared the
results of their teaching so the
priests. the chief of police in the
temple and the Sad1ucees had Peter
and John arrested, charging that they
had taught the people and preached
the resurrection, which is the basic
fact Of the Christian message and
the foundation of mans hope for d
future life Of service

NATIONAL CHURCH,
ADVANCED
PreSbyterians to Consider
Three Ways of Realizing
Aim in Capital.

The erection in Washington Of a
National Presbyterian representative
church through the construction OF
an edifce in the northwest section OF
the city or through the enlargement
of the Church of the Covenant is be-
ing considered.
The General Assembly of the Pres
byterian Church has strongly advo-
Gated the necessity Of building an
outstanding church in this city ca
pable of accommodating that body.
The regular attendance of the Church
of the Covenant, at Eighteenth and "
streets northwest, has far outgrown
the capacity of the edifice, and Rev.
DR.. Charles Wood. the pastor, has
called upon members to vote on three
propositions.
$2.oOO.OOO Project Listed.
The first is the erection of a ma
tional church on some site in the
northwest section at d cost Of about
$1,000 600. The second would be
through the enlargement and rebuild
ing of the present church and third
by the removal Of the galleries in
the church.
In letter TO members of the
church DR.. Wood says that the church
might most effectively articulate
II tilt f@ttHSiOI OF InG present
auditorium to include a large part of
the chapel and the erection Of a Sun
day school building on the lot to the
south of the church, taking in the
house, 1929 Connecticut avenue, which
is owned by the church. Second, by
the purchase of a new site on which
would be erected a representative
church with adequate accommoda-
tion for the Sunday school and a
pastors house adjoining.
1t has been estimated that the
cost of rebuilding tho present church,
including new Sunday school room
and church organ, will be 100000.
Outside Aid Expected.
OF the cost of d new edffce and
site estimated at 100000 it is
thought 100000 would be secured by
the sale Of the present property, $780,
coo by contributions from members of
the congregation and friends in the
city and the other 100000 in CON
tributions from outside friends.
The letter is signed by Dr. Wood.

Charles D. Walcott, president of the
board of trustees, and Charles +
