4 -i t : "cuu crLCVLa daiinabas" - International Sunday School Lesson For March 2, 1952.. Memory Selection: "He wag a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith." Acta 11: 24. Lesson Text: Acts 4t 3-87j 9: 28-27; 11: 19-26; J3: 1-2. One of the finest compliments one ' can pay any man is to describe him as 'fa good man," The character about whom , w study this Week was just .such a man, with the additional at- . tributes that he was "full of 1jhe Holy Spirit vnd. of faith." This man was i Barnabas, whose original name was Josea, He was a Jew, of the tribe of Levi, to which God had assigned special duties in the 'care and man- . : agement of the Temple. . ;. Since Barnabas was a resident of the island of Cyprus, it is not likely that he was able to exercise those e privileges. It is probable that he had heard the gospel, while -visiting 'in Jerusalem, attending one or the other f the various Jewish feasts'. In any . ' i i'- .1-1.1. t ase,. tie was a Believer ana took nis plat; in the work of the church at Jernilem. ; His consecration and spirit of .helpfulness was so fine that the apcwtles-rchanged his name from Joses to Barnabas, which means" Son of encouragement (Acts 4: 86 RSV). - There were many needy people in the early church, partly because many of them had lost their means of live lihood and sometimes their property when they renounced Judaism and be came followers of Christ. It was the i custom at that time that all believers would pool their resources in order to share . to-the task of taking care of those -in need. Barnabas, evidently -nioiA nt anil VuvtiMrnt fh entire : proceeds to the apostles, to be used lor xne common gooo. mis was one gratitude to 'God. for. the great bless ing ivhichliad come into his life.. - While Barnabas was , in - Jerusalem, at a later; date, ne learnea wun ais m'ay that the apostles were suspicious of a man who had come to join them. This man had been their worst enemy and persecutor hut now affirmed that he was a 'believer.. 'Barnabas recog? nized the man as Saul, whom he knew very well, for he had heard of his con version on the road-to Damascus and knew how Saul had. 'boldly (preached in the city of Damascus. "Therefore, he snoke to the apostles,-defending Saul and supporting him. Had it not been for Barnabas, SuU might pot have found an 'opemdoornnywheren the city. So -highly did the apostles think of Barnabas, they did not jues- tion him one moment but accepted Saul immediately as their fellow la , borer. . A v third, incident.; related in Acts, shows how well JBanufbas lived' up to the meaning " of ' his new name. ome of the believers traveled as far .. .. . ji T ! I . " a a Antiocn in ayria.' j-uvui amuii - the Gentiles . there, these Jew be came Trior libfrat in their attitude to ward the Gospel, and did not Share many of the prejudices of their bro ther Jews who, continued to live in Jerusalem..: So they, began to preach ttiA troMiel t there jGen tiles and many were converted; .,Iv : ' The news .of this action soon got . back to the church- at Jerusalem and ttm brethren there became very dis Curbed over this development. " They stilt dung to the idea, that Jesus was a Jewish Savior and for the Jews alone. So, desiring to have an on-the-scene report of the situation, they sent Barnabas to' make an investigation. Thev could1 not have chosen a better person for the : job, for,, instead of criticizin them. Barnabas "was lad and .exhorted them alt that with pur pose of heart they would 'cleave unto : the Lord.". , - . . I . It is interesting to note that it was in this connection that Luke describes Bamabas as a "srood mart, full of ' the TSMw .finim't nT irrf faith." Led hv the SDiri. Bamabas was glad that the GosDel was being Preached to and accepted by the Gentiles. He decided to remain . and help with the work. Realizing the immensity .of the Jask. however, he thought of SauL. who had r' "d to W home in Tarsus to await I . m call. The call same when Barn a- s asked him to- assist him in: the v Vat Antictch. So, tw Barnabas f s the credit of, launching Saul on 1 cpffcrS"! a missionary, t v ' as Taul the ADortle, 1.

A hero is an ideal a blueprint of greatness. And where does a boy find his heroes? ' He finds them In books and on the playing field ... in his school, his family, his Church. ,: Tin Church's contribution to a child's gallery of heroes is unique. Bible study and religious edu cation not only introduce him to the greatest lives ever lived . . . - bnt they teach him how to build the same qualities of heroism into his own life.
