of exhortation to duty.
v. "a. "For he was a good man
and full of the Holy Spirit and of
faith and much people was added
! to the church" Barnabas was more
than an orator, he was man of
heart power. His life illustrated
his profession. The teacher is the
best of his teaching. The people
were first added to the Lord, as
seen in verse 21, then added to the
church. Due recognition is made Of
the place and office of the Holy
Spirit, (spelled with capital letters)
because He is the third person Of
; the Trinity, whom Christ sent into
the world to teach, guide and en-
power Gods children. He is the
dynamic of Christianity.
V. 25. "And he went forth to
Tarsus to seek Saul" The world is
indebted to Barnabas as the agent
of God for setting Paul on his
course of usefulness. There are
many whose talent is lost to the
k1uSuOm, DeCduS0 uO bdTUdDdS mas
brought them out of their hiding
place.
v. 26. "And when he found him,
he brought him unto Antioch And
it came to pass that even for a
whole year they were gathered to-
gether with the church and taught
much people; and that the disciples
were first called Christians, at An
tioch." Two together can do more
than two separately. Cooperation in
creases power to geOmetric ratio.
Dividing responsibility multiplies
usefulness.
v. 27, %. "Now in these days
there came down prophets from Je-
rusalem unto Antioch. And there
stood up one of them named Aga
bus and signifed by the Spirit that
there should be a great famine over
all the world: which came to pass
in the days of Claudius." Prophets
were a class of religious teachers
often mentioned in the New Testa-
ment, who enjoyed special Divine
influence in exhortation and preach
ing, and were enabled at times to
foretell future events. Such was
AgabuS. and hence his words were
