From this time on, the disciples would be different. Peter would never again deny his Lord. The Holy Spirit indwells each Christian, but there is a need for His infilling, in order that His followers may be ready to give forth His message at all times.

Lesson: In my hand I hold the pic ture of a church and the word “ WOR SHIP.” Churches should be built in order that Christians may have a place in which to worship God. One of the best examples of the true worship of God is found in the Book of Acts. We read, “ And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles” (2:42,43). Acts 4:32,33, “ And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and one soul . . . And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon all.” Fellowship was one of the remark able things in the early church. Acts 2:46,47 “ And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.” The church was no ticed by all people when the Christians worshiped God and had fellowship. Notice how easily this word “WOR SHIP” can be changed. The changing of the “ 0 ” to an “ A” makes “WAR SHIP” out of the word “ WORSHIP.” When we see the word “ WARSHIP” it suggests conflict and fighting. Here is a picture to remind us of the Word. Christians' cannot at the same time be worshiping God and preparing to fight. This is true of nations too. If the na tions of earth were busily engaged in worshiping God, there would be no need for their building warships. It is much better to worship and have fellowship, than it is to have hatred and fighting in the church and among the nations. DECEMBER , 1949
