Peter breaches at Pentecost. Acts
2:12-41 for Sunday, February 5.
Peter once a coward, is now bold
and in truth becomes chief among
the apostles. Jesus advice when he
ascended was for his followers to
tarry in Jerusalem to wait for the
promise of the Father and to be en-
dowed with power. The result Of the
waiting is the basis for this lesson,
v. IL. "And they were all amaz-
ed, and were in doubt, saying to
one another, what meaneth this?''
The cause of the amaZement was the
hearing of the preaching Of the gos-
pei in their own native tongues 1t
is Gods will that, all people shall
hear his gospel, hence Home and
Foreign Missions.
v. 13. "Others mocking, said:
These men are full of new wine" ="
Ifnbelievers always have an excuse
and an explanation favoring their
own position. Even some processing
Christians of today make light of the
work of the Holy Spirit, especially
T. richer Christian experience is in,
yolved.
v. IA. "But Peter standing up
with the eleven, lifted up his voice,
and said unto them, t'Ye men of Ju-
daea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusa-
lem, be this known unto you, and
hearken to my words" One Of the
problems of today is to have men
listen to Gods word. Peter made
preparation to deliver Gods message
which is of such Importance as to
call for first and closest attention.
V. Is. ''For these are not drunk
en-, as ye suppose, seeing that 1t IS
but the third hour of the day.
Those addicted to drink would be
seen in an intoxicated state later in
the day, the third hour being nine
o'clock.
V.16. "But this is that which was
spoken by the prophet JOEL This
wonderful manifestation of the Spir-
it is the fulfillment of that prophecy
Of Joel which indicates that the age
of the Messiah would be the dis
pensation of the Spirit
V. IT. "And it shall come to pass
in the last days, saith God, l will
pour out my Spirit upon all flesh;
and your sons and your daughters
shall prophesy, and your young men
shall see visions, and your old men
shall dream Dreams The ushering
in Of the dispensation of the Spirit
would be accompanied with new and
rich experiences such as was dem
onstrated here.
". 18. "And on my servants and
On my handmaidens l shall pour out
in those days of my Spirit" Christi
anity is tremendous force in break
ing down artificial distinctions which
separate men.

of Israel know assuredly, that God
hath made that same Jesus, whom
