Christian Church was a prayer for
boldness; and the record of the
answer follows Immediately, that
they were all filled with the Holy
Spirit, and they spoke the word of
God with boldness." First and last
of the record of Paul's preaching is
that he spoke the word with bold
ness. And the closing words of this
Book of Boldness are the record of
Paul in Rome teaching the things
concerning the Lord Jesus with all
boldness."
There is no tonic for chicken
hearted, slack-backed Christians
like the reading of this swift march
ing Book Of the Acts. 1t puts cour-
age and free utterance" into the
! soul; and delivers one from the
commonest OF all fears, that of
public opinion. Vast changes are
today under way in the spirits of
men, as they face a future un-
known, but pregnant with dread
full or glorious possibilities. What
better preparation for the changes
to come than a new, deep spirit
of courage, born of companying
with Spirit-filled heroes?
Speak Up
There used to be a popular reci-
tation, the recurring theme of which
was, Speak up, Rastus, and 'spress
yo'self." We have come to the day
for speaking up" Christian wit
ness s-bearing should be vocal in all
directions. Write your convictions
your loyalty or disapproval, to pub
lie officials. Write letters to your
newspaper, and to the radio sta
tions. Make vocal the Christian
sentiment of the Nation. Speak up
for Christ in circles where His name
and teachings are dishonored. Speak
up against dirty literature. Speak
up to the magazine editors who be-
foul their pages with filth or dis
loyalty. Sreak or write to the
preacher who has abandoned the
eternal gospel for vague sentiment
talizings upon popular" themes
| Speak up to the Christian organi-
cations which have sacrificed con-
victions to prudence and prosper
lty. AS DR.. Parkhurst used to say

sueth; but they make better time

head The disciples burst forth into
speech, telling in all the languages
represented in that cosmopolitan
company the story of Jesus. In
passing, it is to be recalled that the
gospel is preached today IN many
times more languages than were
represented at PentecoSt.
But the more important "gift of
tongues" was endowment with free
utterance in bearing witness. At
Pentecost the grave-cloth of pru-
dence and timidity and convention
ality was removed from the mouth
of the church. From that hour she
went forth to testify to all the
world her experience of Jesus, the
worlds Redeemer. And whenever
and wherever since then she has
been a witnessing church, she has
been a prevailing church. One of
her present weaknesses is the
atrophy of testimony-bearing in
gatherings of the brotherhood. The
decline of weekday prayer meet
ings and of class meetings is one
of the gravest ailments of modern
Christianity. A spirit-filled church
is witness-bearing church.
Lets Look at the Record"
DR.. Pierson used to say that the
title, THE Acts of the Apostles" is
a misnomer for this fifth book of
the New Testament: it should be
named The Acts of the Holy Spirit. 4"
And that Spirit was the Spirit of
boldness. The word "boldness" oc-
ours at least dozen times: and it
is exemplified far oftener. We find
it first in our lessons record, When
they beheld the boldness of Peter
and John they marveled; and
they took knowledge of them that
they had been with Jesus" Nobody
identifies a timid. silent Christian
as of the companionship of Christ.
The first recorded prayer of the

ilOul VI ucCloiUll. uollldlllllllIy
neve; prevails. "Boldness, ever
boldness," is the challenge to all who
would greatly live.
Our lesson today is the familiar
story of Pentecost, when divine fire
and brave witness-b bearing fell upon
group of common men, who had
been towards in Gethsemane, in
the judgment hall where their
Leader was tried, and at the cross.
What that craven company needed
was courage to stand up straight
and speak out loud, disdainful of
death or any other fate. When the
new Spirit descended, the disciples
lost their fears and found their
tongues, and became witnesses
whose words have transformed the
world.
I am not much for the study of
''key words" of the Bibles books,
or any other of the ingenious de-
vices which make Scripture study
mere exercise in dialectics. But I
must confess the hold that the Book
of Acts long ago took upon me as
continuous and powerful revela-
ton of the power of boldness in
speech. All of my thinking has been
colored by it, and if have at times
been reckless in my expression of
what I believe to be the truth for
the times, the responsibility must
