The Coming of the Holy Spirit in
Power, Acts 1:6-14, 2:1-47, Tor sun
day, July 5:
Here the risen Lord in the last
words of his last appearance to the
disciples outlined their fundamental
duties from that moment to the end
of the age, and from that spot 10
the end of the earth.
". 6. "And when they therefore
were come together, they asked OF
him saying, Lord, wilt thou at this
time restore again the kingdom OF
Israeli" To the disciples the king
dom meant an earthly reign, with
themselves in the chief offices; to
Christ it meant righteousness and
peace in the hearts of men.
V. Z. "And he said unto them,
1t is not for you to know the times
Or the seasons, which the Father
hath put in his own power. Too
much light would blind the eyes and
too much knowledge would paralyze
and disorganize the world.
v. 8. ''But ye shall receive pow
er after that the Holy Ghost is
come upon you; and ye shall be wit
nesses unto me both in Jerusalem
and in all Judea, and in Samaria,
and unto the uttermost parts of the
earth.'' Instead of speculating
about visionary matters the disciples
were given a world task and prom
ise to perform that task. The Holy
Spirit is the third person of the
Trinity, truly a person, omnipotent
in power, invisible but real, empow-

!, ering our spirit when it is COM
mitted to God.
V. Ia. "And when the day of
Pentecost was fully come, they were
all in accord in one place and they
were all filled with the Holy Ghost
and began to speak with other
| tongues, as the Spirit gave them ut
terance." The human condition for
the coming of the Spirit is perfect
harmony and such earnestness that
will cause each one to be at his best
and in his right place. When the
Spirit fills men, there is produced
unmistakable religious convictions
making it easy to hear Gods voice.
The work of God when the Spirit
operates in men attracts attention
and confounds men who do not dis
Germ the things of God. Sometimes
God uses the very simple folk who
are spirit-filled, and others better
qualified intellectually are power
less.
V. I'll. "And they were all amaZ-
ed and marveled, saying one to an
other, Behold, are not all these
which speak Galileans, and how
hear we every man in our own
tongue wherein we were born?
Cretes and Arabians, we do hear
them speak in our tongues the won
derful works of God" The Spirits
power was here demonstrated in
impressing Gods truths to people OF
seven different nationalities, all at
the same time, because the disciples
were now truly witnessing for
Christ A spirit-filled man makes
a true witness of the Lord, whose
message will be understood. An eff
rective way of winning the world
to Christ is through the real Chris
tian witness of men.
V. 80. "This Jesus hath God
raised up, whereof we are all wit
nesses.' Peter, true witness,
points to the foundation stone OF
Christian faith, namely, the resur-
rection of Christ. No other religious
founder died and rose again.
V. 1886. Therefore being at
the right hand of God exalted, and
| having received of the Father the
! promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath
shed forth that which ye now see
and hear" God had recognized Je-
sus as the true Messiah, and the
time had come when men every
where could do no less than the
same; this statement was confirm
ed by David who said, "The Lord
said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my
right hand until / make thy foes
my footstool."
V. SO. Therefore let all the
house of Israel know assuredly that
God hath made that same Jesus
| whom ye have crucified, both LORD
and Christ" Peter addressed many
who were in the mob that crucif1ed
Christ, and if there had not been
present the unmistakable evidence
of Gods power he would have been
put to death also. A splrlt-nlled
man has the courage to be true
witness.
v. 1888. "Now when they heard
this, they were pricked in their
hearts and said, What shall we do?
Then Peter said unto them. Repent,
and be baptized, everyone OF you IN
the name of Jesus Christ, for the
remission of SINS and We shall re-
ceive the gift of the Holy Ghost. =
John the Baptist as we'll as Christ
himself preached first of all repent
ance of sins; the church needs that
note now; without it there is little
need of Christ as Saviour.

 Solution to Previous ' Contract Problem
 Against four spades. East and West cashed three club tricks and then East made the mistake of leading c heart. This allowed South to cross-ruff hearts and dia- monds, and make his contract.
 A trump lead would have been much better, as East's trumpS were useless unless they could be employed to prevent an impending cross-ruff, which was quite appar- ent.
