Tliis is a startling question, and If asked of the average citizen might prove rather dis-. concerting. It was the question that Jesus returned to { the lawyer who i had come to “tempt,” to test, | Him. Those who would test Jesus, deride the church, disparage doc trine, and fling disdain upon all hallowed things, • should know what is written in the law, should know what the Bible savs. for it threatened the disruption ise to Quarrel.

This difficulty was a most serious We congratulate ourselves that the Bible is the world’s best seller, that every year finds it far in the lead of all other hooks issued. But that is a matter of output. Of more con cern is the matter of input! The in put does not keep pace with the out put. The Bible in the home may exercise a refining and beneficial influence. But the big family Bible, seldom opened; the worker’s Bible on the library table, seldom used; even a Testament in the pocket, left un- j touched, will yield little for soul-build- i ing and Christian service. Some way i what is written in the law must be determined. How readest thou? An alarming situation was not long ago reported by a prominent ne\vspapt‘i\ An eminent educator secured answers from eighteen hundred students, in normal colleges and high schools in his state, to Bible questions of the most, simple nature. The pitiful lack of definite Bible knowledge was star tling. Listed, a portion of the result was as follows: Sixteen per cent did not know where Jesus was born. Sixteen per cent did not know the name of Jesus’ mother. Sixty-five per cent did not know of the church into Jewish and Gen tile divisions. It was not a question of the admission of the Gentiles Into the church. Thar had been settled some years before when Peter e- ceived Cornelius and his household. The question now was, on what ground can they he received? Should Gentile converts he required to keep the Mosaic law as a condition of sal vation? This issue was brought on i by the coming of certain men from j*Jerusalem, who declared, '‘Except ye . he circumciseu after the manner Moses, ye cannot be saved (v. 1).” The question was so difficult that Pa il and Barnabas were unable to put them to silence. These Jewish legal ists had the letter of the Scripture on their side. They could point to the command where this was enjoined upor believers (Gen. 17:34). Paul could not point to any Scripture where it tad been abrogated. If Paul could plead that Abraham was justi fied before he was circumcised,* bis antagonists could answer, “Yes. hut after justification the rite was divine ly imposed.” The brethren at Antioch decided to refer the matter to the church at .lerusa.em. Accordingly, Paul and Barnabas and others were sent as a deputation to Jerusalem. II The Deliberations of the Council Episcopal Services At Willington There will be service at St. Steph ens’ Church, Willington, on the first and third Sundays cf each month. When there are five Sundays in the month there will also be service on the fifth Sunday. The hour of the service at St. Stephens’ is four o’clock in the after noon. A good program of music is provided under the direction of Mrs. James Hester of Calhoun Falls with Mrs. Jame s Hemminger cf Willington acting as assistant. The services are in charge of the Rev. R. C. Topping of Anderson who promises a short sermon upon an in teresting and vital topic with each service. -X- what to call the Sermon on thv Mount. ' (-vv. (5-21). Forty per cent thought Paul a hook of the Bible. Forty-five per cent thought Agrippa an apostle. 1. Peter’s speech (w. (5-11).

X Some thought the “Epistles” were \ ,,, t-‘m ns unto the Jews (Acts the wives of the apostles! Evidently these had hut blundered through the Bible. Reasons for this ignorance sire no: far to seek. Mueh is chsirgesihle to j the lack of Bible reading in the home, j the absence of family worship, sind j the delegating of Bible tesiching h\ j parents to Sunday school teachers and 1 others. Another reason lies in rh<* I substitution of helps in the Sundav j school to the exclusion of the Bible | itself. Many of the helps help away from. Instead of Into, an intimate knowledge of ihe Bible itself. Or course the ejection of the Bible from the public school room can hut leave multitudes of young people in igno rance. This situation is indeed mo mentous when by conjointed action, as recently reported. Protestant. <'at h oiic and Jewish clergyman, and the judges of the courts of New York sought the restoration of the Bible f<> the school rooms of that city. Results of this ignorance are ap ; parent on every hand. The crime | mania, juvenile delinquency, and gen ! eral disregard for law, thunder the i fact that many do not know the “Thou | shalt not,” and “Thus saith the Lord" of the Holy Book. The cult of scorn, the societies ot i student atheists, and others who are antagonistic toward the Christian re- | ligion, do not speak after a careful \ and sincere searching of the Scrip lures, “whether these things he so.” Unstable Christian experience, sus- 1 ceptibility to assaults of error, and i readiness to he influenced by every ! wind of doctrine are the result of j Bible ignorance. “What is written in ; the law? how readest thou?” Blundering through the Bible can be avoided, or, if already a habit, can bo overcome. The Bible is a winsome and lovable book, if one may tread its corridors with right intent. Its art is matchless, its music sublime, its rev elation life-giving. A real and pur poseful beginning must certainly re sult in a continuance of Bible study. Surely a sincere believer must desire to know what is written. How readest thou? The motive that actuates Bible reading is of supreme importance. Unhallowed criticism and unholy handling can hut hurt the critics, for they cannot rob the Bible of its saving message. Read with care, with affection, with faith, with patience, salvation and a knowledge I of Jesus Christ must emerge in power ' and blessing for the soul. 47). Since therefore, God had not put a difference it would he folly for them i do so. 2. Paul and Barnabas rehearsed their experience (v. 12). They told how that God had set Mis seal of approval on their preaching of salvation by grace through faith apart from works, by the working of signs and wonders through them. 3. The argument of James (vv. 14- 21). He took the fact declared hy Peter and showed how it harmonized with tiie prophecy of Amos (Arnos i>:ll-ir»), He showed that the reception of ihe Gentiles was not in conflict but in strict harmony with God’s plan. As set forth in •James’ speech. God’s plan is as follows: (1) To take out from among the Gentiles a people for His name (v. 14L This is what is now going on. the preaching of the gospel to the ends of tiie earth, and the calling out ot the church. (2) After the church is completed and removed, tiie Israelitish nation will he converted and restored to their land and privileges hy the Lord Him self at His return (vv. 1C. 17). (3) Following tins will he the con- version of th3 world through the agency of converted Israel (v. 17, ;f. Rom. 11 :l. r »). He showed that there is no conflict when the Scriptures are rightly divided. His judgment was that the Gentiles should not be trou bled with things that are Jewish, but should be warned to “abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornfea- rion. and from things strangled, and from blood.” Ml. The Decision (vv. 22-29). The Jerusalem church came to a unanimous agreement and accepted the resolution offered by James. They not only sent a letter stating the de cision ot the conference, but took the wise precaution of sending influential men along with Paul and Barnabas to bear the same testimony by word of mouth. This letter denied the authority of the Judaizing teachers (v. 24), and declared the method hy which tills decision had been reached (w. 25-27). Tiie Holy Spirit was to be given first place, and the Gentile believers were instructed to abstain from meats offered to idols, from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication. IV.
