THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, HERTFORD, N. a, FRIDAY, APRIL 18, 1941 i t ' -. -t , SUNDAY SCHQOL LESSQM J USING WITNESSING POWER International Sunday School Lesson for April 20k 1941 ; GOLDEN TEXT: "They -were Vail Med with the Holy Spirit, ': - and they spake the word of God with boldness." Acts 4:21. (Lesson Text: Acta 2:l-4;3:8-20) Commanded by their Lord to "tarry ilh Jerusalem until they be imbued with power from on high," the disciples gathered together in the house, probably where they had eaten their last supper with Jesus, to await the fulfillment of this promise. After a lapse of some days, during a time of prayer and worship, they suddenly heard a great sound coming upon them, as of a mighty wind blow ing violently, accompanied by an ap pearance of fire in the form of ton gues, a tongue settling upon the head of each of the disciples. Instantly, they were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other ton gues. One writer says, "This abil ity to speak in foreign languages not previously learned was merely a temporary endowment granted for a special purpose . . . one of those mir aculous spiritual gifts which marked the age of the apostles." Dr. Charles R. Erdman declares, "The gift of tongues was eaxtcly the preparation needed by the disciples for the task of witnessing to the throngs which had gathered from all parts of the worldl to observe tne feast; for 'there was dwelling at Jerusalm, Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven.' The miracles of the Bible were not mere prodigies which aroused wonder; they had a practical purpose. So this gift at Pentecost made it possible for the gospel story to be given on a single day to hearers from many different nations and to be carried by them to their distant homes." So remarkable was the effect of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit on the individual disciples that it at tracted a multitude to them and the crowds were astounded to hear the disciples talking to them in their own language. Some thought them drunken on "new wine" but Peter stood up in their midst and spoke to them, delivering the first sermon preached in the entire Christian church, after its formation by the descent of the Holy Spirit, and under the fullness of the power of the Holy Spirit. Our lesson does not go into a dis cussion of the sermon of Peter which we have come to know as the Pente costal Sermon; However; so power ful was it In its message that it brought conviction into the hearts of the thousands of listeners and three hundred thousand new believers who accepted the new faith and were bap tized as a result. We can understand the rapid spread of Christianity at that time when we realize that every believei was an eager witness to others ol the things which he had seen and ex perienced. The Christian Church in its beginning had four outstanding characteristics, as described by Her bert M. Luckock: "First, there wu no division among them: there was the recognition of authority; those that were baptized knew that the Apostles had been taught by Chrisl and had received from him the cre dentials of their office to teach oth ers. Secondly, tney had a commun ity of goods, an experiment which never spread beyond the Holy City, and no matter how grand and self sacrificing the spirit that prompted its inception, it completely broke down under the stress of circum stances. It was abandoned even in the time of those who had created it. The third note was the breaking of bread, which was that of the most sacred Feast (the Lord's Supper). The fourth and last 'note' was the steadfast continuance in prayers." During these early days, it seems that the disciples continued theii practice of going up to the Temple at the hour of prayer, three o'clock in the afternoon, and this habit pre sented Peter with another opportun ity to preach the Gospel before a huge crowd. Before the Temple gate lay a crippled man, who asked alms of Peter, James and John as tey entered the Temple gate. Having no silver to give him, they gave him what they had a gift of. the Holy Spirit healing him of his infirmi ties. The resulting publicity that ac companied this act of mercy aroused the enmity of the Jewish rulers and resulted in the first serious opposi tion to the Christian church. Peter bodly spoke to the crowd which gathered around him and the healed man, and preached especially for the benefit of the Jews. While we have no record of the results of Peter's second sermon, we may be sure that many who heard him were converted and later became believers in the new faith. Safety Tc!ks North Carolina lost fourteen of its future citizens last month when four girls and ten boys under 16 years of age met untimely deaths under the wheels of trucks and auto-' mibles, it was reported this week by the Highway Safety Division. Five of these boys and girls were on foot, three were on bicycles, one was on a school bus, and five were In automobiles. Last month's youthful traffic vic tims in North Carolina included: Two boys riding a bicycle on the highways at night without a light. A 14-year-old boy, weaving and zig-zagging in traffic on his bicycle. One five-year-old child who fell out of a car when she leaned on the door handle and the doorilew open. A seven-year-old boy who ran from behind a parked car into the path of a truck. A three-year-old girl who was playing on the highway. An 11-year-old boy who was taking a driving lesson from a 16-year-old boy and stepped on the gas instead of the brake when the car started to run off the road. And a five-year-old boy who start ed across the street without looking. Traffic victims in the state during the first three months of this year included 11 boys and girls from 10 to 14 years of age, 12 children from five to nine years old, and six children under five years of age. Fifteen of the twenty-nine were on foot and six were on bicycles. "I urgently plead with North Car olina motorists to be unusually alert and cautious when they see children ahead of them on foot or on bicycles, and I plead with North Carolina par ents to do everything in their power to make their children safety-conscious and careful," said Ronald Hocutt, director of the Highway Safety Division. "We must stop this slaughter of the innocents." GARDEN CLUB MEETS The Hertford Home and Garden Club held its regular meeting Friday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Cecil Winslow, with Mrs. Josiah Elliott and Mrs. Norman Elliott as assist ant hostesses.
