Text of the Lesson, Afcts vi, 8-15; vii
E4, to viii, 3 Memory" Verses yii, 55,
56 Golden Text, Aes vii, 53 Com
mentary by Rev. D. M. Stearn'sl-
Copyright. 1308, by American Press Association.
We have in this book of the Acts the
history of. the beginning of the church
the body of , Christ gathered from
Jews and. gentiles by the Spirit
through the apostles and others who
were used as well as the apostles, such
as Stephen and thilip, men who were
chosen and set apart to oversee , the
ministration, of funds to the poor, but
who. being filled with the Holy Spirit,
were used mightily in preaching the
word. Our Lord Jesus said concern
ing His church, "The gates (wisdom;
power) of hell shall not prevail against
it' (Matt, xvi, 18), but He did-not say
that hell, would not fight against it,
but Just the contrary: So He instruct
ed the prophets centuries before (Jer."
I, 19; Ezek. iL 6). There are always
enemies without but sometimes the
trouble gets within the church, as in
the case of Ananias and Sapphira.
Now it is a ease or many, cases of dis
satisfaction on the part of .some being
ministered to from the common fund
The twelve therefore called the dis
ciples together and appointed seven
men full of the Holy Ghost and wis
dom to see .to these matters, Stephen,
a man full of faith and of the Holy
Ghost being what we would call chair
man of the committee. The apostles
gave themselves to thord and pray
er, and the disciples multiplied greatly,
and many of the priests followed. So
whether it was prayer and preaching
or serying tables, the Spirit wrought
and God glorified in them.
We must be Spirit filled for everv
kkind of service, even the lowliest,-if
ire woum truly serve the Lord. Happy
are those who can look up into His face
and say, "For any manner of service
wholly ' at , Thy commandment'' (I
Chron. xxviii, 21). To accept meekly
and cheerfully whatever He appoints
us and hear it or do it "unto the Lord"
and "before the Lord" is all He asks
of us and to continue there! till He
calls to something else. Stephen, hav
ing accepted the lowly and : difficult
service. Is soon found working- mir
acles and so speaking that those who
heard were unable to resist the wis
dom andi the spirit by which he spake.
Such manifestation of the power of
the risen Christ so stirs the adversary
that Stephen is arrested and brought
before the council; and false witnesses
lay to his charge things that he was
wholly innocent of. While he was be
ing thus treated like His Lord the
Lord must have hpn
him. for the reflection was seen, in his
face, which seemed to the council like
the face of an angel.
Being permitted to speak for himself,
ne renearsea the national history from
Abraham, through Isaac, Jaeob, Jo
seph, Moses, and on to David and Solo
mon and the temple, and then to the
Immortal Son of David, the true tem
ple. He enlarged upon the 111 treat
ment of Joseph by his, brethren and of
Moses by the people whom he was
sent to deliver and then accused them
to their face of being the murderers
of Jesus, as their fathers had been of
the prophets. These to whom Peter
preached were pricked in their hearts
and asked what they should do, and
thousands repented and received Jesus
as their Saviour and Lord (ii, S, 37),
but these were cut to the heart and
gnashed their teeth, stopped their ears,
cast Stephen out and stoned him to'
death. - .Spirit filled Peter got 3,000
souls.- but Spirit filled Stephen got
stones enough to kill him, and In each
ease God was glorified. Although the
young man at whose feet the wit
nesses who stonedStephen laid down
their clothes continued his murderous
career a little longer, perhaps when we
nave clearer light on the connection
between Stephen's, death .nnd Saul's
eonveiaion we may see tbat Stephen,
tnrougn sauL won more souls than
Peter. The ways of the Lord are of
ten to os a great deep, but we are gure
that laS HWr God TtiM war t rirro"

looked up steadfastly into heaven and
saw tne glory of God and Jesus and
was able -to pray for his murderers;
Lbrd. lay not this sin to their charge."
it we look up into heaven as he did
and see Jesus there for us. we will not
see our persecutors nor feel much the
stones that are thrown at us. We mav
so see Jesus and hear His voiced that
we shall be Wind and deaf to all else.
This seventh chapter mav be said in
begin and end with "the God of glory"
(verse 2) and "the glory of God" fverse
05). h We shall , not he ant r "wsitr
worthy of God. who hath called us to
His kingdom and elory" (I Thess. if.
12), unless that kingdom and glory are
as real to us as the risen Christ was to
Stephen.5 This is one of the seven
places in Scripture where we find the
phrase "heaven opened" (verse 56),
the others being in Ezelc i. Matt iii,
John L Acts x, Eev. iv and x. and each
