Text: Act 11., 30-Com-
mentury. .
33. "xhis Je.us hath Gift raised, up,
whereof we all are wiluessea." The miu who
bad with oaths aud curses so cowardly de
nied Him is the oan who is oho-ou by the
Hpirlt to be H smouthpieee to this multitude.
Uelntt "He 1 with the Spirit tnk-o nway all
thoiip-ht of self aod nil fear of miin. lid Hrst
quoti-s from Joel II., 24-33. and Buys here is a
tullillment or the words of thnt prophet. He
then speak of Jesus of Nu&iretli nnd the
Wonders wrought by God tbMitnh Him, nnd
openly churirej them with HI death. He
then quotes Irom the wonls of David In Pi,
svi. concorning II s resurrection and con
tinues In thu words of this tint verse of our
lesson.
33. Before Ifo died He paid that lie was
Roint: back to the Father who Imd sunt Him.
and that He would Mnd down from heaven
the Holy Spirit, whom tbnv now siw nnd
hoard iu tue.se disciples (John xvi., 6-8).
Herd, then, was tlie evideu'n that Josus of
Nazareth was really the one He professod to
he, and uit nu Impostor or blasphemer.
Here was the evideu 'U thnt He whom they
sruclMud wits now alive from thu dead and
actually in heaven.
31, 35. DhvI I did not rise from tho dead,
ne did not spank of his own resurrection la
Pj. xvi., but of Hi n of whom he wild la Pa.
ex., 1, " The Lord suld unto my Lord. Bit
thou on My richt land uu il I mako thy foos
thy footstool." David, ns to his sidrit, is
certainly in i;lory, but his body still sleeps
lu the iluft ofthfleurth.
30. I'cter, therefore, by Iho Spirit, inMsts
Hint th i very same Jusui whom they cruel
lied God has ruine I from the dond unit taken
to His own riirht Imu I, ttius making him
Lord nnd Christ nud dejbirin llim to he tho
Ion? priituised Svi'j ot D ivid to sit on David's
throne, nnd the Son of Abraham ia whom nil
tho promises to the fathers are to bo ful
filled. 87. The Spirit, by His words through
Tcter, took hold of their heart, convinced
(hem of their sin nud lei them to cry out,
"Men nn 1 brethren, what Minll wo do?"
There was no urtfiiiir on tin part of l'elcr
that theyshouid coinn forward to tho peni
lonl bench, or nilmt their haii Is for prayer,
or hIltq a curd ileciarini; llieir intention to
load a new life, however help!ul tbi.'sa moth
oils limy sometimes be.
.H. When Jesus was on one occasion nked
"What shall we do.'" His answer was, "Bu
Hove on Him whom Oo l hatli nt"(John
vi., 2H, 2U). Teter wiys, by tho sruin Spirit.
"IJepent nud bo baptize I," which is nnother
wuy of sayliiB, "Believ,'." To bnlluvn that
Jesus was" thetr Messiah would be a complete
change of min i or repi-utnucuon tholrpnrt,
ami to bo baptized lu 11 if until" would be the
outwur I confession that they had received
Him. To receive Him would secure the for-Kiveiie-s
of all their sins (John I., 1J: I John
11.. 12).
IU. Th9 promlso is to nil who will eome
that thoy shall in no wise boc.vt out (Johu
vl., 37). 'J'hern were some illustrations of
liotl'-ehoUU belli!" saved, us in Uett. vil., 1:
xviil., 19; six., 12; Joshua II.. IS. Ho culls
all who hear and bids them eotno without

40. l'erlmps soma of tho "many other
wor.ls" Ho usiid mieht bu found in l.m. I., 18;
xliil., 23; lv., 3. 4: Ewk. sxxvl., 2K, for those
tire the Spirit's own words to sinners. Peter
did not thluk to pave tho Renoimtou or rac.i
of Jews, but He did expect, like Taut, to save
aomo of them (I Cor. ix., 22).
1. IlsoeiviuK lllg word, Ihey received aim
and iuus beoame onlldren or Uo HJoIini.,
iat vi., 63; xrit., H; Jn. iy, 21). Bniw bap
tized, they confessed Him aud had llionxsur
ance that He would confer thm before the
father (Math, x., 32). But think of :i00o
doing so! Would not boiro evauirelistn be
tempted to make t demonstration over IhatV
Whoever heard of such a result from ono ser
mon This was the Lord's doing aud mutt
have been marvelous In their eyes.
42. "Thoy eontinue.1 steadfastly," that
Is, tboy believed llrmly, for there Is no oilier
way to be established. Compare II Cliron.
xx., 20, with 1-a. vlu, V. Tills verso socms
to say thnt thoy were Instructed. Thoy
talked with each other of theso thiiigo, es
pecially of Him. They coininraoni:u(l His
death. 'Ihey were much in prayer. How
sorry they would bo that they had not re
ceived Him sooner! How they would Iriiig
for His return, aud with whnt z they
would testily of Him!
43. The wonders and sli;ns wrought by the
nposlles would doubtless bo on the line of
Murk xvi., 17-20, nnd being such us Ho Him
self wrought when Ho was ou oaith would
add to their testimony that He was still niive,
though invtlble. nud but nil fiower iu

44. One great family bound together by
His love to them, nud their love to Him nnd
to each other, having n great desire to
ploaso Him and that others might receive
Him too. They doubtie-s believed that all
He hid wns theirs mid thus were drawn to
share all they hud with each other. Thu
Spirit controlled nil, and It was a foretaste
oi heaven upon the earth.
45. Karthly possssions lost their attrac

His who were In need. Tlie Spirit o! Him
who though He was rich, yet for our miI;u

nod the privllego o( tdiowing some love to

many have attempted to set thedavuiid hour

We are not to watch for tlinih, but we are
distinctly commanded to watch for hlsie

has bis work to do not Home work, but his
