The International Uniform Sunday
School Lesson for April 10. Life In the
Early Church. Acts. 4:32-5:5.
BY William K. Gilroy, ID. ID.
Editor of The Congregationalist


OUR lesson tells of the most
I( ! wonderful experiment in COM
munism on record. 1t indi-
Gates also in what respects the ex-
pertinent succeeded. and just why 1t
failed.
If all the early Christians had been
like Joses, who is better known by
the name OF Barnabas. the name
that the apostles gave him. the ex-
pertinent might have succeeded, and
whole new society might have
been built up upon the principle Of
Jesus. ut is more blessed to give
than to receive"
II all Christians today were like
Joses. or Barnabas, there might be
great hope for the establishment Of
a new social order in which unset
fishness and mutual aid would &C.
cupy the place that competition and
self-interest now assume.
Communism of Giving
But, as someone has said. you
cannot build a marble palace out of
mud bricks" One hypocrite. one
self-seeker. one man who processes
to live according to high principles
while he betrays those principles in
fact, can wreck the basis of a new
order. and plunge society back into
depths Of establishment. suspicion
and distrust.
The only sort OF communism that
would ever work would be a COM
munism in which all honestly be-
heved. which all honestly practiced,
and which was primarily a com
munism Of giving and not a COM
munism OF getting.
The communism of Barnabas was
a communism OF giving. He was
not looking for anything for him
self. All he thought about was help.
ing other people. He had a farm.
and he went and sold 1t. and brought
the money to the disciples feet for
the benefit Of ALL
IT was his privilege to do that. He
was under no obligation to do It ex-
cept the obligation of his own heart
and conscience. There is no evil
dence that he was required to do 1t.

that that sort OF communism has to
offer in experiences in Russia,
where. we are told, 1t is now being
abandoned
But over against such futile and
Christless communism we must set,
not an ideal Of individualism and
selfish, or selfinterest but the Ideal
of love and service, or devotion to
the common veal.
The communism Of Christ as a
hope, and as an ideal, nay, as a very
principle of practice for those who
are willing in freedom and hon
esty to accept it. should not he lost

ism is being tIailed in the dust.

The Hypocrite's Way


The communism OF Ananias was a
communism Of hypocrisy. He pre-
tended to be thinking about others,
but he was thinking Of himself.
He sought to get the credit OF CIV
ing UP all that he had for others.
but he lied, and was not sincere.
He did not have to give up his pos
sessions. as Peter reminded him, but
he had no business dealing in lying
and hypocrisy. Is it not strange.
too, that lying and hypocrisy are
often found even in the most noble
surroundings?
Christianity is first Of all a matter
of freedom. It's law is a law Of lib
erty and love.
Laws may protect society against

discuss Jesus in human terms?"
I have. 1t is Barton's book.
In my book reviews / do not seek
to engage in any controversy. THE
Man Nobody Knows" is just a book
but one that gets into the very in
side of ones mental and spiritual
book.
Barton has done a strikingly hui
man thing-he brings Jesus into
your home.
A Few Lines
Being a newspaperman. believe
that l enjoyed the chapter on His
Advertisements" the most because IL
reached my world.
Let us begin" Barton writes in
this chapter. by asking why he was
so successful In mastering public
attention and why. in contrast. his
churches are less so? The answer Is
twofold. In the first place he recog-
nized the basic principle that all good
advertising is news. He was never
tr1te or commonplace; he had no
routine. If there had been news
papers in those days, no city editor
could have said, No need to visit
him today; he will be doing just
what he did last Sunday Reporters
would have followed him every
single hour, for it was impossible to
predict what he would say or do;
every action and word were news"
Then Barton takes one single day,
as recorded in the four gospel nara
tives, this one from the ninth chap
ter OF Matthew
Barton writes: "In one place. how
ever-the ninth chapter of Matthew
we have a decided account of a
single days work. One of the events
was the calling of Matthew himself
to discipleship; hence we have every
reason to suppose that the writer's
memory Of this particular day must
have been more than usually relia-
BILE. Let us look at the twentyfour
hours schedule; see how 1t bristles
with front-page news"
Barton then goes into detail about
as he sees them recorded by Mat
thew.
The Last Picture
And then Barton's last picture:
ION a barren hill beyond the city
walls they nailed his perfect body
to the cross. Two robbers were cru
cited with him. 1t was over. The
raoble had sickened quickly OF its
revenge and scattered; his friends
were hiding; the soldiers were busy
casting lots for his garments. There
was nothing left of external inf'u-
ences which fire mems imaGnations
or grip their loyalty. Surely the
victory Of his enemies was complete;
he could do no miracles there, hang
ing on the cross.
And yet
jesus It was the voice of
one Of the robbers Jesus he says.
painfully, remember me when thou
contest into Thy kingdom.
Read that, Oh men. and bow your
heads. You have let yourself pic
ture him as weak. as a man OF sor-
rows. uninspiring, glad to die. There
have been leaders who could call
forth enthusiasm when their for
tunes ran high. But he, when his
enemies had done their worst, so
bore himself that a crucified felon
looked into his dying eyes and ga
! luted him as king"
That Is Barton's final picture
THE Man Nobody Knows" does
not destroy the Bible. Does not ruin
faith. but brings all readers to a
better understanding of Jesus and
man.
And remember that I have writ
ten only a book review.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1925-04-18

I have found the man and the
publisher who has been brave
enough to do, this
Bruce Barton is the author.
The name of the book is The
Man Nobody Knows"
The publisher Is The Bobbs-
Merrill Company of Indianapolis.

and studied for years in my own

1 attempt to picture Jesus as a
healthy young man, finding himself
among men and solving his prob
lens among men.
Some how or other, I felt that
there was q human Jesus in the
Bible and that he has not been dis
covered.
Barton, by his Introduction, shows
he has had the same problem that I
have had.
Barton discovered the real Jesus
in this way, according to him: II
will read what men who knew Jesus
personally said about Him. I will
read about Him as though he were a
new historical character, about
whom I had never heard anything
at all"
Barton asks: What. Jesus phys.

His answer is. "A physical weak

Barton asks, What, Jesus a kill.

His answer: "A kill.Joy! He was

proper people made was that He

A Failure?

He answers: "A failurel He

them into an organization that con-

And so Barton has written THE
Man Nobody Knows" And so Bobbs.
Merrill has given 1t to the world.
This is no confession on my part.
Barton has aided me mentally to
discover Jesus.
Barton discusses Jesus as THE
