Bible Institute of Chicago.)

LESSON VoR AUGUST 25.
CONFESSING CHRIST.
(May be used with missionary applica-.
tions.)
LESSON TEXTS-Luke 12:8-12; Acts Bi
ll.
GOLDEN TEXT—Whosover shall con
fess me before men, him shall the son of
man also confess before the angeis of
God.—Luke 12:8.
DEVOTIONAL READING—James 3:1
18.
ADDITIONAL MATERIAL—Psalms 145:
1-21; Mark 5:19-20; John 1:40-40; Acts 4:18
20; I Peter 3:15.
I. Importance of Confessing Christ
(Lube 12:8-12).
To confess Christ is not easy; it has
never been easy. To do so means ex
posure to ridicule, contempt and per
secution. Regardless of its issue, the
true disciple will confess his Lord.
1. Christ will confess before the an
gels of God those who confess him
before men (v. 8). The true disciple
will not be ashamed to let all men
know that he knows, loves, and serves
Christ.
2. Christ will deny before the an
gels of-God those who deny him be
fore men (v. 9). To deny Christ before
men may get one a little of human ap
plause, but will surely bring one to
loss of heaven and to the sufferings of
belt forever.
3. A pernicious testimony is unpar
donable (v. 10). This testimony is
the expression of a heart utterly per
verse, attributing the mighty works of
the Holy Spirit as wrought by Christ
to the devil (Matt. 12-32; Mark 3:29).
The unpardonable sin will only be com
mitted by one whose heart is incurably
bad, one whose moral nature is so vile
that he fails to discern between God
and the, devil—-a reprobate.
4. Divine aid given in testimony
(vv. 11, 12). In the most trying hour
the Holy Spirit will teach the disciples
what to say, and how to say it.
II._Qualifications for Confessing
Christ (Acts 1:1-11).
Christ remained with the disciples
forty days after his resurrection to
prepare them for the important busi
ness of witnessing for him. He had a
five-fold object:
1. To convince the disciples of the
absolute certainty of his resurrection
(vv. 2, 3). Before the disciples could
undertake the great work for which
they had been preparing, the question
of Christ’s resurrection must be set
tled beyond a doubt. No one can preach
the gospel who does not have certainty
of conviction touching the resurrec
tion.
2. To instruct the disciples in
things pertaining to the kingdom of
God (vv. 3, 6, 7). Their unwillingness
to hear Christ’s instruction (John 16:
12, 13) before his passion shut out
much valuable information, so the Lord
tarries to supply this need. They had
a wrong idea as to the kingdom being
restored, not as to fact, but as to time.
Christ had again and again predicted
a coming kingdom in harmony with
the united testimony of the prophets
of Israel. They understood him aright
as to the fact of the kingdom, but the
time of its manifestation they failed to
grasp. The disciples should be de
fended against the reproach for having
a materialistic conception. The king
dom is still to comb; the time of its
coming is known only to God.
3. To show the disciples that their
business was to witness for Christ to
the uttermost parts of the earth (vv.
4, 5, 8.) This witnessing was to be done
in the power of the spirit, the result of
which would he the formation of a
new body, the church, called out from
the world in the time of the postpone
ment of the kingdom.
4. lo snow uie uisuiines uic
of their missionary activity (v. 8>. This
is shown to lie as wide as the world it
self. They were to begin at home and
carry the good news concerning Christ
to the uttermost parts of the earth.
Mission work begins at home and ends
with the bounds of the earth.
5. To show the disciples that Christ
will henceforth operate from heaven.
They were to work on the earth, but
the source of their power was in heav
en. Though he is separated from the
disciples it will not be forever, for he
will come again. He will come again
as the God-man, our mediator. The
words of the men in white apparel
have a double significance.
(1) To show that Jesus will come
again.
(2) To show that in the meantime
they should set to work in the dis
charge of tltvir commission, and not be
gazing up into heaven. The Lord’s in
struction to the disciples was, “Occupy
till I come” (Luke 19:13). Those who
have an intelligent hope touching the
coming of Christ are not sky-gazers,
hut are deadly in earnest witnessing
for Christ.
Divine Descent.
The incongruity of the Bible with
the age of its birth; its freedom from
earthly mixtures; its original, unbor
rowed, solitary greatness; the sudden
ness with which it broke forth amidsi
the general gloom; these to me are
strong indications of its divine de
scent ; I cannot reconcile them with s
I human origin.—Channing.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
Let’s get behind our Sunday school
and-give it support. “Go” will make
our Sunday school grow.
METHODIST CHURCH.
All the regular services will be held
at the Methodist church Sunday. As
there will be no preaching at the
other churches of the city, all are cor
dially invited to worship with us.
Watch the announcements next
for our revival services.
The extreme hot weather is now
over so let every member feel the
prsonal need and responsibility of at
tending our Sunday services. You
are needed, and your absence is deeply
felt and is hurtful to Christ’s king
dom, unless you are providentially
kept away.

STORM CLOUDS.
(By W. C. Freeman, Newport, Ark.)
Look to the west, O Kaiser!
From thence shall come thy doom;
The clouds that gather yonder
Shall sink thy soul in gloom.
List to the muttered thunder,
The lightning’s flash and flare;
The wrath of the gods is centered
In the storm that gathers there.
Once t’was a tiny cloud bank,
And you turned away with a smile;
But now it has marshalled its fones
That stretch for mile upon mile.
Like a rushing, demoniac typhoon
Tearing across the deep sea,
Those forces of Freedom are sweep
ing
To crush thy armies and thee.
They’re coming, O, mighty Kaiser!
A hundred million strong,
To wrest from thee thy kingdom,
Replace the right for the wrong.
Thy vaunted world’s dominion
Is built on sinking sand,
When storms of righteous anger
break,
It cannot, shall not stand.
Thy fate has long been written
In the blood of those that have
passed; f
Of all the world’s vile monarehs
Thou art the worst and the last.
