JUNIOR TOPIC—Stephen, the PIret Kartya INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP* 1C—ft.ephen a, Christian Hero. YOUNG FEGFL15 AND ADULT-TOP IC—Character and Message of Stephan. I. Stephen the Deacon (0,;1-S^.i The earl; church wus threatened with disruption over suspected par tiality In the distribution of alms. Thus we see that us soon as the church had relief from external troubles, diffi culties arose from within. A congre gational meeting was called, und the case was placed before the church* which was Instructed to select seven Spirit-filled men of -rood reputation to administer the tempo.; . litles of the church, thus glvin- the apostles the necessary time for prayer and the ministry of God's word. II. 8tephen Before the Council (0:9-15). > The'success of ibis- movement soon rcaine to be uuted> by the enemies' of Christ, 1. Disputing With Stephen (w« 9-10). Certain foreign-speaking Jews took 1 • the lead in thte controversy. Perhaps - -the fact that Stephen was a Greek 3 lew provoked them to a t. He wus • more than a match for them while |i; the debate was carried along the lines <, of reason and Scripture. Beaten along I these lines they hud him arrested and \ brought before the council. 2. Charged With Blusnhemv fn 11-14). ; They trumped- up Mils charge and endeavored to support It by seeretly finding and Inducing tuen to perjure themselves in their testimony. Stephen showed In his preaching that God's purpose Is progressive, and that the policy Instituted; by Moses should be superseded by the new faith since It was, the culmination of what Moses begun. He showed that the old dis pensation would be superseded by thf new, and that the church would come but Into the liberty of Christ. Chris tianity did not destroy Judaism but caused it to blossom forth Into the glory of the new order. . 8. Stephen’s Face Transfigured (v 10). He was so completely filled with Christ that ns he saw the angry mob and realised how soon lie would be violently dealt with and pass Into the presence of the Lord, his face shone as the face of an angel, it was the glory of Christ shining through him, 1 Itl* Stephen’s Defence (7:1-58). In refuting their churge he showed by the history of God’s deuling with the Jews that they hnd always resisted iHim. Therefore their attitude was bet cause of their unwillingness to move forward with the divine purpose. As . indicated by Dr. Stiller, four points stand out in ills defense: 1. God’s dealing with the Jews showed progress. The end was not reached1 by a single leap, but by gradt ual stages. 2. The temple was not the only holy place. God appeared at different {daces and at different times. 8. Israel invarlbly opposed God as He tried to lead them on. 4. He showed his loyalty to Mosej; by constantly referring to him. IV. 8tephen Stoned (7:54-60). His words were too much for theta so they gnashed upon him with their teeth. 1. He Looked Steadfastly Tm.» Heaven (v. 55). Instead of looking about upon bis murderers In their raging fury, he looked up to heaven. This was the secret of his calm. If he had looked about him, he might have been nfrMrf; 2. He Saw the Glory of God <v. 55)j ▲.vision of God’s glory can only bei seen by those, who are Loyal to Him* even unto death. 3. He Saw Jesus Standing on the Right Hand of God (vv. 55-59), The fact that Jesus was standing shows that He was actually interested/ in the suffering of His faithful witness-. 4. They Cast Him Out «f the City and Stoned Him (vv. 58-59). 5. His Prayer (v. 00). He kneeled down, and cried wltbi a loud voice, "Lord, lay not this sin 1 0 their charge." How like the pray dr of Jesus on the cross! Christ so cu u pleteiy filled him that he could tl ,ut act 6. He Fell Asleep (v. 00). The Christian’s death is only n alt sep. This sublime scene must lie* ,e vita lly affected Saul, who.' was coot .enting un to his death.

To all of these am hearty responses made by members of the ihe assistance of his elders, ample provision for every i business sessions wane business-like and interesting. The Presbytery was largely at tended by members and friends. Tbe weather was good during nur stay there. Soma of the most interesting things which took place were:. The reception of Rev. L. B. Yates from the Congregations! The licensure of Rev. W. R. Mayberry to Hie Gospel minis tryv The giving of a letter of dis missal to Rev. Win. Sample, Who had pastured the Carthage field with* great success. The. formation of the Coun cil. We regretted to know that the Rev. S. L.. Young found it ne cessary to retire after about twenty-five years of active ser vice. He built the church at Gra ham and the one at Hillsboro. The reports from the church es showed a gradual increase in membership. We were not be hind the other Presbyteries in the field activities. ,"n The Rev. McMillan has the cooperation of not only his own people, but that of the white race.-. Rev. H. C. Miller is a power in the pulpit. He preached the Communion sermon. A few of the ministers stayed over and preached in various pulppits on the following Sab pulpits onthe following Sab bath. Rev. J. E. Tice, Rev. J. H. Clement and Dr. I. H. Russell were, among those who stayed over and preached on Sunday. Many people, who talked with me, said, that this was the best Presbytery we had had for four years. I said that it. was one of the best. It seemed that every minister was, looking forward to the good; of the Church. Then there was no politics in the work. We feel that Rev. Mr. McMil lan has hit the right place. There were few changes this sear. The? Rev. J. G. Murray, of nis own volition, gave up one church, and now has only two churches. We received our budget as handed down by the General Assembly. We hope to pay every penny.. Yours for the good of jthe work, I. H. RUSSELL, Permanent Clerk of Yadkin Presbytery. COULTER ACADEMY NOTES. By Miss M. L. Gates. . On Sunday A. M. our pastor, Dr. Long, preached a soul-stir rin gsermon from the subject, “The Primary Essentials in Christian Development..” 1st.
