They say there is a sun
dial in Covington, England,
which bears this inscrip
tion: "I mark time, dost
thou?" It is a constant re
minder to the people that
time is important, and is
passing away.
We often hear the ex
pression: "There just aren't
enough hours in the day."
This statement is made by
the happiest of people.
They are using time-and
could find the use of more.
I believe it was Einstein
who said: "Time is rele
vant." Relative to how it is
being used. Fast and rapid
on some occasions, while
slow and dragging in other
situations. Young lovers
witness the fleeting mo
ments of time. A prisoner
awaiting release spends
hours that seem eternal.
The person who lives the
long, rich life says in his
80's: "Life has been so
short." It was full, rich and
enjoyable. All people can
be that way simply by
marking time like the sun
dial. Using the moments to
their fullest.

would have involved selling

the sergeant threatened to
report him to the officer of

refused. He was reported to

stand before him. The
soldier went with trembling

he knew he was right.

When the major
demanded an explanation as
to why he had disobeyed an
order, the young soldier
replied, "Simply because I
do not believe it is right to do
what I was asked to do. I
enlisted to be a soldier and
not a bartender."
The major arose quickly,
extended his hand, and said,
"young man, you are the
kind of man we want. I am
glad to see a fellow who has
the courage of his con
victions. You are not obliged
to report at the canteen."
Stephen was such a man.
He had convictions which
were founded upon the Word
of God. He stood true
to those convictions.
The Spirit of Stephen,
Acts6:8-ll
Stephen was one of the
seven selected by the church
to serve tables. The church
had selected him to aid in
the distribution of food to the
needy that the apostles
might not be hampered in
their praying and
preaching. But "serving
tables" was not to be the end
of Stephen.
What was there about this
layman that the religious
leaders were so soundly
defeated? The Bible tells us
that he was a man of good
report, full of the Holy Spirit
and of wisdom. The Bible
also tells us that he was full
of faith and full of grace and
power. He did great
miracles among the people.
He had evidently over
come the narrow prejudices
of Judaism which made it
possible for him to see the

universal character of
Christianity. -
Stephen evidenced such
wisdom and spirit that those
of the synogogue were
completely helpless before
him. Their only recourse
was to bribe men to twist his
words and statements into a
charge of blasphemy.
The Standing of the Son,
Acts 7: 54-56
Stephen made his defense
before his accusers. As a
hammer drives a nail, every
point he made was a truth
which cut them to the quick.
When they could take no
more, they gnashed on him
with their teeth. '
Knowing that death was
upon him, he looked beyond
the enraged crowd and saw
the glory of God, and Jesus
standing at God's right
hand. It has often been
pointed out that this is the
only time we find Jesus
standing at the right hand of
God. In other references He
is seated at God's right
hand. Did Jesus stand to
welcome His faithful ser
vant home?
Stephen saw heaven
opened. He saw Jesus
standing on the right hand of
God.
The Stoning of Stephen,
Acts 7 -.57-60
The crowd now cried with
a loud voice, stopped up
their ears, and rushed upon
him. They cast him out of
the city and stones him.
It is here that we first
meet a young man by the
name of Saul. It was at his
feet and coat of the wit
nesses were laid.

They proceeded to stone'
Stephen who has now knelt -and
is praying. His prayer is
described as a calling upon.
God: as committing of his;
spirit to Jesus; a plea that
this sin will not be charged'
against those who are:
stoning him.
With this prayer on his;
lips, forgiveness and God's
peace in his heart, he simply
falls asleep. His persecutors
have succeeded in silencing
another who would be so
bold as to claim to know God
through Jesus. ' - -
Or have they succeeded?
Is it true that the blood of the
At I
martyr oecomes me seea oi
the church? Is it true that if
Stephen had not so prayed
and so died that Paul might
not have preached?
His speech still stands as a
testimony to the cutting
edge of knowledge and
conviction. God is not
limited to any land or
nation. His Gospel is for all.
His challenge is to all men to
stand as Stephen stood
faithful even unto death.
BIBLE QUESTION
OF THE WEEK:
When did the Pharisees
and Sadducees come into
existence? We find them in
the New Testament but not
in the Old Testament.
ANSWER:
Sometime during the
Maccabean Period,
probably between 161 and
143 B.C. The historian
Josephus mentions
Pharisees in connection
with Jonathan, one of the
Maccabeans of this date.
