county this weeks sunday school lesson our beloved barnabas golden text he- was a good man and full of the holy ghost and of faith acts 1124 the liesson as a whole by 1 c macaulay dd approach to the lesson there is no richer study for mind and heart than biography this is just as true of bible biography as of any other and even more so here doctrine is incarnated in flesh and blood teaching becomes alive in human personality and we see divine principles in operation in chosen vessels a series of biographical sermons has always in my own experience stirred real interest and awakened hearty response and such volumes of biographical studies as alexander whytes bible characters are a store house of good things the socalled lesser characters of the bible are just as imiortant as the major personalities indeed for a single lesson or sermon they are more easily handled for we are not embarrassed by such a weight of material as in such cases as abraham moses and paid the teacher ought certainly to track down every reference to barnabas in the preparation of the present lesson build his own story seek to discover the ruling principle running through all the incidents related about him and then read some good study by a master such as alexander whyte already mentioned barnabas was really a nick name but a very splendid one given him by the apostles in recog nition of his value as an encour- ager of the church the hebrew form means son of prophecy but the interpretation in acts 1 3g relates it to the name which our lord gave the holy spirit the comforter barnabas had the gift of exhorting and encouraging others and the apostles named him accordingly strangely enough the pet name quite super seded his real name joseph happy is the church that has a barnabas on its

needs why not pay him a visit same as joseph barnabas means son of prophecy but the greek interpretation emphasizes the thought of encouragement barnabas was of the priestly tribe of levi cyprus an island in the mediterranean was rich in produce landowners in cyprus were generally weathy men verse 37 sold it and brought the money quite in line with what was being done in the church vs 31 35 but barnabas action was specially magnani mous the young church found it self in need of a big benevolence fund get a free copy of more power to yovfromyvur commerce manager the canadian bank of commerce chap 926 saul assayed to join himself to the disciples but they were all afraid the dread persecutors sudden change of attitude was regarded as a ruse to gather more information against them so they held him at a distance just as calvin and the genevans put the marquis of vico under police supervision when he came to them for refuge from home verse 27 but barnabas brought him to the apostles the same magnanimous spirit but this time championing a suspected be liever actually barnabas stood surety for sauls sincerity and argued his right to full fellowship chap 1110 now they which were scattered abroad preach ing the jews only see chap ter s 1 1 persecution was gods instrument in scattering the seed but the sowers were unacquainted with what is related in chapter 10 nor had they learned the truth of chapter 11 18 verse 20men of cyprus and gyrene come to antioch spake unto the grecians they were hellenistic lews like paul and men whose wider sympathies broke through the exclusiveness of the palestinian jews they dared the great experiment lack ing any authority save the inward pressure of the spirit verse 21 the hand of the lord a great number the greek of this verse is full of exite- ment these pioneers found that god was with them beyond their best hopes till inexperienced in matters ecclesiastical they found themselves with a newborn church and a gentile one at that upon this hands verse 22 they sent forth barnabas a wise choice a man of magnanimous spirit was needed to handle such a situation gods man is always the right man for any case verse 23 came and had seen the grace of god was glad and exhorted an exclusivist would have seen a movement completely out of order and killed it the man of grace saw the work of grace and rejoiced the word exhorted is the same as encour aged barnabas was living up to his new name verse 21 a good man and full of the holy ghost and of faith see romans 5 7 barnabas added kindliness to righteousness and when his kindly disposition was sanctified by the holy spirit and exercised in the way of faith it is no wonder that much people was added unto the lord verse 25 to tarsus for to seek saul see chapter 029 30 barnabas realized how well fitted was saul for the work at antioch and coveted the best for that infant church xo jealousy here verse 20 a whole year they assembled called christians first in antioch what a rich year with such a plurality of eldership the manner in which these disciples in antioch pro claimed christ and lived for him is reflected in the name given them christians chap 131 prophets and teachers as barnabas and saul there was a wealth of min istry in the church at antioch nonce the senior position of barn abas and the junior position of saul verse 2 the holy ghost said separate me barnabas and saul this prayer meeting was the birth place of world missions when ministers give themselves to prayer big movements begin to take shape the holy spirit speaks verse 3 and when they had

missionaries would not forget there was extended prayer necessitating a fast a form of oru- two from local duties in view of ination and an act of loosing the the new call the heart of tin- lesson he was a good man says the word of god about barnabas acts 1121 we remember that when the rich young ruler called jesus good our lord reminded him that such a description fitted only one namely god in the absolute sense that is certainly true vet men apply the epithet to such of their fellow sinners as manifest a degree of uprightness and kindliness 1 have no doubt that even before his conversion to christ barnabas or joseph as he was then known passed for a good man among all who knew him and that many had benefitted from his generosity but when thus levite of cyprus was jointed to tiie lord jesus and became full of the holy ghost and of faith his goodness was some thing more titan a naturally kind- lv disposition but was the fruit of the spirit gal 522 a very bit of the goodness of god estab lished in the heart of a redeemed man the whole story of barnabas as we have it in the acts is but a series of exhibits of this goodness of god in a man you could always depend on barnabas to do the helpful thing to stand by the one in need and to show the grace of god if the infant church needed its treasury replenished to meet the needs of its poor members barnabas was ready to sell a valtr able piece of property and turn in the proceeds chap 130 37 a new convert whose past record of bitter persecution of the church made all the saints in jerusalem suspicious of his motives found a ready champion in barnabas chap 92628 a new departure in gospel work which would have been frowned upon by strict adherents of jewish order won the immediate support of barna bas who knowing so much of the grace of god himself quickly recognized its operation in the new sphere chap 1122 23 this same magnanimous spirit thought of saul the promisin young convert in semi retirement in tarsus and coveted his gifts for this gentile work in antioch chap 1125 20 the same good ness enabled him to recognize the superior gifts of his younger protege and to yield to him the place of leadership without jeal ousy or rancor chap 132 13 and even his fierce dispute with paul was in defense of a youthful failure whom barnabas felt ought to have another chance chap 15 3739 whether by word or by deed barnabas
