Secretary of the American Society of Religious Education. INTRODUCTION.-Three .great men have, passed before us in the lessons of the quarter Peter, Paul and James. These represent the three sections of tho Christian church,- or tho "three different conceptions of tHe Gospel nnd of Its rela tions to the world. James was the head of the mother church at Jerusalem, a splendid exponent of Jewish Christian ity, highly esteemed on account of his character. Paul, made an apostle by tho Spirit after tho ascension, stood for Gen tle Christianity; while Peter, permitted to preach the Pentecostal sermon, has been regarded by many as a compromise be tween theso two wings of tho church, and styled "tho leader of Middle Christ ianity." Eight of the lessons are his toric, covering thoso chief events which marked the steady progress of Christ's kingdom from A. D. 37 to A. D. 47, d pe riod of ttu years. The other four lessons aro doctrli al, pertaining to matters that agitated the chui'"h and needed to be set tled, not for those years only, but for all after years. The history and the doc trine urs Intimately connected. MUtACLES.-Wc are st'll In the period of the supernatural. Shortly the Gospel will be left to win Its own way, needing only 10 be proclaimed. For a time dis plays of Divine power will arrest atten tion, approve the pienchers, and authen ticate tho mestuge. Wh havo had two lessons on miracles, tho llrst and the fourth. Both of them Involved Peter, and In substantially the bame manner us tho two miracles last quarter. One of them iepresented him as working. In his ministry at I.yddu and Joppa, raising the dead and cuilng the paralytic, while tho other made him thu object of God's care thus giving tho active side of tho believ er's life. Under two heads fall most of tho miracles of the New Testament. They nil havo a benevolent design, seeking to clotho a seivant or God with authority and mako him, a blessing to others. An Instantaneous Impaitatton of strength to a good man or a direct Interposition to Bave him from enemies surely these are not Incredible acts of tho Almighty. CONVDRSIONS.-Tho great business of tho apostles wts to inaku converts to Chrlsl. (Mark xvl, 15). Tho Inspltcd sketch of Pielr doings would bo Incom plete did It not record something of their sucots In this direction. One leRson, the second, gives ar. account of a most no table coilverslon. That account !b tho more Intciestlng Lecauso It mentions tho llrst Instance of a Uentlio wno received the Gospel, and he a Roman centurion, liv ing at Caesarea, tho political capital of tho province. All the circumstances, the vision of Peter and Cornelius, were cal culated to mako tho church know that Christianity was not to bo confined to the Jews. Wo have no other mention of an individual conversion in the lessons of the quarter, but Icrsons three, six and seven Indicate that large number of peo ple believed In Jesus and Joined the church. These last are entered as show. Ing the fpread of tne kingdom, and tho success of the ministry, rather than as naming Important persons who espoused tho cause, of the Nazarenc. MISSIONS.

Morris, pastor. Services at 10 and fi missionary movement and the early work prosecuted In connection with Si, Antioch had the honor of being tho place of de parture. There, after prayer, three men, Paul, Barnabas and Mark, went forth, Journeying westward. The history may be found In lessons rive, six and seven. Tho countries visited were Cyprus, Pam phylta, Pisldla and Lycaonla, sections then cursed by the abominations of the heathen, nov sibjected to the Infamous rule of the Turk. They preached in Sa lamls, Paphos, Perga. Antloch, Iconlum, Derbe, Lystra and other cities. Converts wero made, both of Jow2 nnd Gentiles, and little congregations with a very simple government wero established in many places. This first missionary tour accomplished much for the cause of Chris tianity. It spread the area of the Gos pel, established new centers, achieved vic tories over error, displayed the spirit of self-denial and heroism, opened the eye3 of Paul to the need of the world, en larged hlc conceptions of the purpose and plan of ChVlst, awakened the hope of the brethren at home. DISPUTES.-It Is Impossible for men to think alike on any subject. Differences of opinion are mest likely to arise among those who diligently heek for the truth and ean estly ct&nd ty their convictions. It was therefore to be expected that In tho early years cf the church doctrinal questions would utlse and piovoko dis cussion. Those who had been Jews could not agree with those who had been Gen tiles. The more honest men were the greater their liability to contention. The lessons of the quarter present threo sub jects about which theio was a dispute. Lesson three treated the resurrection, over which Sadducees and Pharisees had wrangled, transferring their views to tho Christian church. Lesson eight per tained to the Jewish ceremonial, wheth er Christians were obligated to keep It, especially circumcision. Lesson nine set tled the controverted point of faith and works, growing out if the divergent views of the Paulino and Jerusalem schools of thought, when pushed to extreme und bringing them eventually Into happy ac cord. A future life, an Interior life, and outward expression these were tho three points established. SPEAKING. Lesson ten, "The SlnB of the Tongue," referred to a practice Into which tho eastern world had generally fallen, from which James desired to pro tect Christians. Our expression for Jpno 6 opened tho subject fully, requiring here only a few words In' review. As already shown tho great purpose of tho Gospel was to promote a right state of heart, 10 do maue mamtesi Dy appropriate liv ing. But the pride of Intellect was so great that many wero Indifferent both to their affections nnd conduct. Accord ingly tho craze for public speaking had" become well-nigh universal, and the at tempt was common on the part of Indi viduals to assume the attitude of teacher even In rrtvato circles. This they did even while their speech revealed the de pravity of their natures. It was a most praiseworthy undertaking, therefore, when the apostle sought to convince the disciples that they ought to be more anx ious for genuine goodness, and to curb their tongues by purifying their hearts. o'clock.

JUDGMENT. Out of tho common prac tice Just mentioned grew another, equally reprehensible. Men not only sought to force their ideas upon others, but they presumed to condemn thoso who did not accept these Ideas. In lesson twclvo wo have Paul's effort to correct this fault, as James had endeavored to conect the other. If tho latter would have men less concerned ubout opinion than goodness the former would prevent the church from becoming a pla;o of censorship and crlticHm. Paul would havo believers re member that each man is amenablo to Christ, that eating of meat offered to Idols and tho observance of a sacred day, arc matters to bo determined by each man's conscience. And yet, he oounseU against thoso practices which would wound the feelings of others. Ihat pas sage. In Remans was opportune. If heed ed the church nt tho Imperial City would quickly learn the great lesson of charity the duty of ono party to refrain from Judgment, the duty of tho other party, so to live s not to provoko Judgment. COUNSEL. Lesson eleven contains tho ndvlco of Paul to Timothy, delivered to ward tho close of the former's career, one being In Rome, the other Ephesus, separated by more than a thousand miles, great seas Intervening. We learned the relations subustlng between the two and tho estimate of tho elder for the younger, growing partly out of his qualities of character and partly from his Inheritance. And we read with much Interest tha ex hortation of tho apostle in which ho urges Timothy to faithfulness In his of fice, assuring him that tho Scriptures were a sulllclent furnishing for every ministerial function, so shutting out tho vagaries that might arise- through the speculations of men. But this lesson Is chlelly Interesting because It shows the method by which Christianity was per petuated. Tho workers grow old and die, but ere they depart they deliver to thoso who remain the solemn chargo to curry forward tho work. From generation to generation the trust Is transmitted. Let each be faithful to that which Is com mitted. (II Tim. I, 11). CONCLUSION.-One truth appears In oil the lessons of tho quarter the Holy Ghost was the efficient agent, using men to build tho church after a foreseen pat tern. The miracles wrought by Peter at Lydda and Joppa, the conversion of Cor nelius, tho sending out of Paul and Bar nabas, their bold preaching at Japhos to the discomfiture of the sorcerer, their travels from city to city", the utterances In defense of sound doctrine, the teaching of Christian propriety und duty, the llnal charge to an evangelist to continue steadfast in the truth all this was through thi? Inspiration, guidance and power of the Spirit of God. Tho apos. tollc church was not a human but a Di vine Institution It was not an evolution from Jewish ritualism and Greek phil osophy, as some claim, but It was a new and heavenly Impulso Imparted to hu manity, wcrklng In society, opposing er ror and sin, constructing a new order of things, destined to work on until the world thall bo filled with th glory of God.
