V. 13. "And after they had held
their peace, James answered, say
ing, Men and brethren, hearken un-
to me-" James, brother of Jesus,
though strict Jew, as the presiding
officer speaks with authority. Note
how the church now held the peace
and quiet which was good evidence
that the will of God was having the
right of way
VS.. IA, 15 'Simeon hath declar-
ed how God at the first did visit the
Gentiles, to take out OF them a peo-
pie for his name. And to this agree
the words Of the prophets; as it is
written" James reviews the ac-
cepted facts presented by Peter and
reinforces them by quoting proph-
ecy. Facts we'll supported by the
word of God furnish the best evil
dence
VS.. 16, II, 18. "After this l will
return, and will build again the
tabernacle of David, which is fallen
down; and / will build again the
ruins thereof, and / will set it up;
the residue of men might seek after
the Lord, who doeth all these
things" Known unto God are all
his works from the beginning of the
world James here indicates that
the passages here quoted by the
prophet Amos find their fulfillment
in the ingathering of the Gentiles,
such as Peter described. The Jews
were surprised at the conversion of
the Gentiles. God was not. He had
known it from the beginning.
w. 10. "Wherefore my sentence
is, that we trouble not them, which
from among the Gentiles are turned
to Cod The trouble referred to
was the observance of the ceremon-
ial law. James now took stand for
Christian liberty.
VS.. 20, 81. "But that we write
unto them, that they abstain from
the pollutions of idols, and from
fornication, and from things stran-
gled, and from blood. For Moses of
old times hath in every city them
that preach him, being read in the
synagogues every Sabbath day."
James suggests a compromise which
Paul later couched in the words,
abstain from the very appearance
of evil"

DAN BEARD, SCOUT

There is rare type of individual

Dan Beard, known and beloved by
Boy Scoutdom. He labored long,

Millions have been inspired by his

Dan Beard remained boy at
heart until he died in his ninety
first year. Perhaps that was the
secret of his long and successful

Perhaps there will never be an

The first Jerusalem Conference
on World Missions. Acts Is: 6-21
for Sunday, June %.
Paul and Barnabas' report of
many Gentle converts saved by
faith, disregarding some of the
Jewish rites, created controversy
in the Antioch church; the case
was settled in Jerusalem by the
church council.
v. 6. .And the apostles and
elders came together for to cOnsid-
er of this natter The controver-
sial question called for church au-
thOrity which was vested in the
apostles and elders. Paul stood for
amicable settlement by means of a
conference with the recognized
leaders
v. 7. "And when there had been
much disputing, Peter rose up, and
said unto them, Men and brethren,
we know that good while ago God
made choice among us, that the
Gentiles by mouth should hear the
word of the gospel and believe"
Peter recalls his experience in the
conversion of Cornelius about ten
dences of the past are valuable.
V. s. "And God, which knoweth
the hearts, bare them witness, CIV
ing them the Holy Ghost, even as he
did unto u.s. God showed his ap-
proval of the Gentiles by giving
them the Holy Spirit, as he did unto
the apostles the day of Pentecost.
That ought to settle the contro-
versy.
v. 9. "And put no difference be-
tween us and them, purifying their
hearts by faith. The logic is plain.
If God made no distinction between
Jews and Gentiles, why should men
do SO? If we, the Gentiles of today,
have faith, we have everything.
Note that the coming of the Spirit
upon them was attended with an in
ner publication of the heart.
v. 10. "Now therefore why tempt
ye God, to put yoke upon the neck
of the disciples, which neither our
fathers nor we are able to bear"
The ceremonial laws, supplemented
by rabinnical interpretations, made
a yoke, heavy burden not essential
to salvation as taught by Christ. To
insist upon their observance would
run counter to the will of God. In
verse IL Peter declares that the pro-
gram of redemption to be the same
for all. This is another appeal to
accept the Gentle converts reported
by Paul. Then all the multitude
kept silence, and gave audience to
Barnabas and Paul, declaring what
miracles had wrought among the
Gentiles by them. Criticism is to give
positive testimony which Paul had IN
miracles in which was shown the
power of the Lord attesting his min
istry. To this the spirit of contro-
versy had no answer. 1t please the
Lord for us to testify to the working
of his grace.
