LESSON FOR JUNE 8
THE COUNCIL AT JERUSALEM.
Acts, xv:22-33.
BY REV. J. H. GILDEUT, P. D.
Secretary of American Society of Rell(1out
Education.
INTRODLTCTION.-Tlnis far, Jewish
nnd Gentile Christians, united in love for
a common Master, had lived side by side
In pencil at Antloch of Sviin. (Psalms,
cwxll, 1). This dellghtfut fraternity was
disturbed from without, Theio came to
them from Jeiusnlem certain biethien
who asset ted that the Gentile belleveia
must be chcumclscd, that Is, they must
become jews hofoio they could become
Chilstalns. This new dogma provoked
much discussion. Paul and Barnabas re
sisted It, and probably most of tho
church sustained them, although, as gen
erally occurs, It may have been that a
few zealous for the traditions of Israel,
(Col. II, S), may have cast themselves on
tho other side. Tho conflict thus preci
pitated Involved, not only tho pence of the
chinch at Antloch, but the future of
Christianity. Tho decision would nffect
the woik of God In all lands and cellul
ites. REFERENCE.-How shall this per
plexing question bo settled. In our time
PiotestnntB would appeal to the Scilptuio
as "tho only infallible lule of faith."
Learned men would collect pi oof tests,
but Interpretations of these might differ,
leading to a war of words. In tho end be
lievers might bo divided as thev 010 now
Into opposing sei ts. I Corinthians xll, 2.3)
But tho New Testament had not been
wiltten, nnd this coiuso could not be fol
lowed. It was finally detoi mined to refer
tho wholo matter to the upostlcs and
elders at Jerusalem. (Veiso 2.) There
were good leasons for this action. The
apostles had been with Jesus and had
heaid his teachings. Moi cover, tho Holy
Splilt had been piomised to guide them
into the Until. (John xvi, 15.) Besides,
tho chinch at Jciusalem was older, the
mother of all. and might bo supposed to
hold luster views of doctilne than other
churches.
ASSEMBLY. Judging from the nni ra
the, it is pinbable that Paul and Eaina
bas, on their airiva! In Jeiusalem, did not
at once lepoit the decision which led to
their visit. They pm.siied a much wiser
course. Proceeding to give an urcount of
their nilsslon.ii v tour, thev allowed the
audience to lalsp iiucstlons. In this way
the topic was brought up by Pharisaic bo
liovris as .in oiiginal and Independent
mntter, and the apostles and eldcis weie
called together to consider It. (Vevse C.)
The iissomblv was not general, like those
councils afterw.iid called to settle contra
vened points. No one was invited fiom
nbin.ul. It was limited to Jerusalem. The
sublcet of Gentilo lights had been up sev
eral jeais befoie the conversion of Coi
nelliis (Acts, jj, 17-1S), but the question of
clifiimc hlnn was not raised. Now tho cn
ss of Missions is leached. The door to
the heath'-ii has been thrown open. Thr,
assembly theieforo maikcd a new and
Important eta.
COMMISSION. 'I his discussion on that
occasion, icpoitcd In veise 7 to 21, Is not
assigned by the committee in to-day's les
son. The speaking seemed to bo all on
one side, Thev who pieeipltatcd the mat
ter appealed to have been silent, or tho
m.iv have been nbtent. Peter spoke (list.
Paul and Bainabas followed. Then James
the piesident of tho council, summed up
the case and gave a decision v. Men wan
favorable- to the Pauline views. His nd
diess was laige-heaited and nianlv. He
quoted Seiiptinc lo show (vet so 17) that
God Intended to save the Gentiles. (.Te:e
ml.ih. svi, 10): that the Jewish iltual was
only a piovlslonal airangemont (verse lu)
looking foiw.ud to fuller dispensation.
The speech pleased the assembly und It
was agiecd that two ptomlnent bieth
ien Bitsabas and Silas (veise .'.'.) should
i etui n to Antloch with Paul and Baina
bas and lepoit that action had been tak
en, that thoio might bo no doubt on the
subject.
EPISTLES The lour commissioners
weio not allowed to ictuin with meiely
an oral message, valuable us that might
be. They boie letteis which put tho
judgment of the assembly In peimunent
foini. The letteis weie nddtessed to "the
biethien which aio of tho Gentiles in An
tloch and Syila and Cllicla." (Veise 21.)
Tho very foim of that salutation virtually
settled all'disputes. The letteis declaicd
that the men who had pleached clicum
clslon went out without authoilty (veisu
21), showing that mlnlstoil.il license und
oidlnation wero necessaiy In those days
to secuio sound doctilne. Puul and Bain
abas weie highly commendod In the epis
tles (veises 23 and 2b) for their saciltlclng
hibois lor Chilst. Baisabus and Silas
were named as spokesmen foi the Jeru
salem chin eh. (Veiso 27.) These letteis
wmo the first wiltten documents so fai
ns we know, delivered by apostolic! uu
thoilty, the chattels of Gentilo libel ty, to
bo laid up with tho chinches.
RESTRAINT. One feuluie of the let
ter desenes sprelnl attention (verses 2S
and 29.) whllo released ftom circumcision
tho Qeutllo converts weie urged to abstain
fiom meats offeied to Idols, and fiom
blood and fiom things strangled and fiom
fornication. Tlueo of these piohlblted
practices (Leviticus xvil, 13) wero forbid
den In the laws of Moses. (Deuteionomy
xli, 2J), This Injunction was a piuden
tlal measmo for tho present destined to
pnss away, but made now to secuio unity
In tho chuich. It was felt that unless so
much was letalued thero could not bo
peace between tho Jew und Gentilo con
veits. (1 Coilnthlnns vill, 1J.) Tho Item on
social pmlly was fundamental and abid
ing. Chastity was at that time unknown
among the heathen. Miscellaneous co
habitation was practiced without censure
by Romun officials In high station. Hem
Chllstlaulty uttois its piotest against im
morality. It Is worthy of comment that
this lestialnt was not puiely apostolic, It
was declined to be by the dliectlon of tho
Holy Splilt.
CONSOLATION.-Thele was gtcat le
joking In tho chinch ut Antloch when the
letter was lend which the apostles sout
fiom Jeiusalem, It showed that the for
iner practice wns not out of harmony
with the teaching of those who had been
with Jesus, who had been endued with
tho Splilt and who had been the guuid
laus and piomoteis of tho cause of Chilst
Uom tho beginning. The docUiunl unity
was of tho utmost Impoi tiinco. The
church might puisne Its methods as pie
vlously, Otheiwlso theie must have been
gieat and radical changes, and any alter

alteration In another pint. It Is no small
mutter to tear dqwn and lebulld a house,
Besides, this agreement draw tha chinch

sttengthenlng those Invisible cbids by
which separated biethien are hound to

SOJOURN. Men joined by common
thought and feeling, aio not easily torn
asunder. They llnd In each other's so
ciety that which the licnit needs. And
so, after their mission had been perform
ed, It was not easy for the biotheis to
ictuin to Jerusalem. Judas finally took
leave homeward, but SHas tan led. The
woik was mosL inviting and he cntcied
Into It with enthusiasm, so that tlte
chinch had leciultcd its teaching foice
thiough tho unhappy contioversv, ono
ftom tho mother chuich being added.
This was a matter of the utmost Impor
tance. Thice men of gieat natural ubll
Ity weie associated, Bainabas, the good
man, (Acts, jj, 21): Paul, tho futuie
apostlo to'the Gentiles; Silas destined to
become the helper ol Paul. (Acts, xv, 40).
It would bo Impossible to estimate thn In
fluence of such men upon tho chuich,
their dlveislty of talent seivlug to lcnch
various elements of population to build up
a symmctilcal and prospcimi', body. The
thiee men, moico'er, weie immensely
useful to each other, picpailng for their
woik in later life.

salt-Using biead. Vliglnia, Maryland, j,
nnd Southern Ohio is its special Hhb- T
itat, and the salt-ilslng blend habit ',
loimed. Its devotees never 'get over 4"
their piedllectlon for tho rather mnl-
odoious loaf. They Insist that bread
made in this way is maie digestiblo
than biead made with other kinds of
j east, and many dvspeptles will cat .,
no othei. T
Whether this biead Is wholesome or j,
no Is, howevei, an open question. It .
Is claimed by scientists that the fei-
mentation necessary to make good
"emptyings" cannot bu induced In a
loom suigicnlly clean; that it will
only succeed when theie Is an tibund-
nnco of matoilal In she nir, as, for In- 4.

Is, of couise, contradicted by thoso
who phi their faith to this bread. Tho
sponge for salt-ilsing biead Is mado
by ft-imentlng flour, water or mlllc
without the addition of oidlnary yeast.
Heie Is a ledpe for its making as 4,
given by a noted Vliglnia house keep- 4,

Put two tnblespoontuls of coin meal
In a pitcher and pour ovor it half a jT
pint of boiling wntei. Add a plnc-h of "J"
salt and let It stand about ten minutes
to paitially cool. Then stir in two
tablespoonfuls of flour and set in a
wnun placo to ilso over night, or for
fho or six bonis. In the moinlng add 4,
a half-pint of flesh, sweet milk or wa- j,
ter and flour to mako smooth batter. .
Set the pitcher In a kettle of water
hot enough to bear the hand In. When j
this ilses pour it Into a batter which
has been mado of two quints of
morning's milk, scalded and tooled,
and thickened with flour until it can
diop fiom tho spoon. Bo careful not 4,
to scald the Hour by mlNlug with the j,
milk when It is too waim. Add a ten- .
spoonful of salt. Beat very thorough-
ly, and set to ilso In a warm, not hot,
place, This will lequlte somo twents-
five or thlity minutes. Now ndd suf-
flcleiit Hour to mnko a dough that (
cannot be stilled with n spoon. Turn (
IITto the Homed niohlliig boaid, add 4,
half a cupful of laid, and knead
tlioioughly nnd continuously until T
smooth nnd elastic. Divide Into snnll T
loaves, put them In well gieased pans,
cover with a tovvol nnd set In a warm"
plato for the last Using When light
buko as quickly as possible, 'vyhen

The question is often asked what Is 4,
tho difference between whole wheat

Add whole-wheat flour, beating all the

as vou can beat lu with a spoon. The
dough should bo too soft to knead, and
the flour should bo added gradually, j,
