Sunday School Lesson

trymen with being guilty Of cruelty
ing Christ.
Peters address brought conviction.
for they cried out asking what they
could do to be saved. The apostle de-
manded that these whose appeals
their sin and believed in Christ Jesus
should repent and be baptized.
Three thousand responded to the
apostles demand that they turn
about and change their method OF liv-
ing by processing their faith in the
risen Lord by being baptized. Many
point to this, as the birth OF Chris
tianity. While men may differ as to
the period. when the church of Christ
started, Luke, without speaking of
Pentecost as the day of the church's
origin, treats IT as such in the Acts
of the Apostles.
The New Community.
Jews from abroad would be more
open to the Gospel than those resid-
ing in Jerusalem. 1t may be due to
the fact that large number of them
accepted Christ Jesus and joined His
followers by being baptized that the
new society assumed its form. They
were united by fourfold spirit. The
new community had a spiritual unity
and experience as basis for their
common life. They were character
ized in their life by constant lis
tening to the teachings of the apos-
ties" that emphasized that Jesus was
the Messiah.
The people who believed that God
had made Jesus. who had been cruct-
fled both Lord and Christ by raising
Him from the dead were drawn into
the bonds of d new brotherhood.
There is hardly an object for which
l. l...r -l,a hA
found in the organizations of that
day. They gave expression to their
spiritual unity and faith by the OBJ
servance of the communion. or Lords
supper, prayers and worship. both in
the temple and in the upper room.
They had all things in common.
This probably grew out of their love
for one another and the desire to as
sist those who were without funds,
having come up to Jerusalem to at
tend the Pentecostal feast and tar
ried to become better acquainted with
their Lords life, love and program.
The manifestation OF generous CIV
ing, that still marks all true Chris
tians, when there is a need to be
met revealed the extent OF their
brotherly love. While every social
reformer has turned to those days of
the early church's common treasury
as the basis for his SocialtStic pro-
gram. yet they gave voluntarily, and
not through force. of what was their
own.
Facing conditions at home and
abroad with the realization that the
gospel of Jesus is the onlt force that
can save civilization and correct the
evils OF the hour, ought we not to
dedicate upon the altar Of our God
our possessions and talents for the
uplift of our fellow men to be used
of the Holy Spirit. who is still with
US. to bring a spirit of brotherhood
and fraternity among all men and ma
tions? There is nothing that will fill
the individual life with greater JOY,
peace and happiness than a public
stand for Christ and living a life ac-
cording to His will. 1t will help de-
yelop and extend the life Of all our
churches and further the work Of the
kingdom of God among men IL we
place our all in the service of Christ
and His church. There is no better
way to promote commercial prosper
fly. national security and interna-
tional good will.

BAPTIST WOMEN TO
CONVENE SEPARATELY
Plan to Change Fiscal Year and
Date of Meeting to Be Consid-
cred at Memphis.

or interest to all Southern Baptists
is the announcement that at the ap-
preaching annual session of the
Woman's Missionary Union at Mem
phis. beginning May II. an amend
ment to the bylaws of the organi-
zation will be proposed making the
books of the union close with the end
or the calendar year. 1t is deemed
certain that it will also be proposed
to hold the annual convention of the
union in January hereafter, shortly
after the close Of the books and at a
time and place different from the
meeting Of the Southern Baptist
Convention.
In support of these proposed
changes it is pointed out by the
women that they feel the adoption OF
the calendar year as the Womans Mis-
sionary Union year will greatly simply
and facilitate the work OF the union,
while a change from the present meth
cd of holding the convention at the
same time the Southern Baptist Con-
vention Is in session is desirable from
the fact that under the present ar
rangement the women do not have op-
portunity to attend the sessions of the
Southern convention. of which their
organization p an auxiliary.

is pointed out, and the cooperating
churches are being urged to adopt as
their goal for this Spring a distinct
advance over what they did for the
same object during the first four
months of 1924.
