Gothic architecture, briefly de
fined, is that in which structures
are built with ribs that intersect
and in which thrusts are stopped by
buttresses. Whereas Romanesque
depended on thick walls. Gothic
went to the other extreme, with
walls that were mere shells, and
with an active skeleton or bone
structure of stone, consisting of
piers, arches, and buttresses. Thr
common buttress and the flying
buttress, the last named were typ
ical of Gothic architecture, as was
the pointed arch.

Dean of The Moody Bible Institute
of Chicago.
(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
S. S. Lesson for May 4
I.enfton subject* and Scripture text* *•-

THE CHURCH ENLACGING ITS
FELLOWSHIP
LESSON TEXT-Acts 8:1-8, 14-17. 38.
Q OLD EM TEXT - Therefor* they that
were scattered abroad went everywhere
preaching the Word.—Acts 8:4.
In a time characterised by ma
terialism and commercialism, it in
refreshing to consider the manner
in which the early church ■ spread
the gospel far and wide. They did
this without thought of personal gain
or advantage, and with a sacrificial
devotion to Christ which caused men
and women to be willing to die for
Him, and, what may sometimes be
even harder, to live for Him in the
face of persecution. Here was loy
alty that puts expediency to shame,
and sacrifice of self for Christian
principle which needs emphasis in
this “soft” age.
The enlarging of the church is re
vealed by our lesson as being
I. By Death or by Life (vv. 1-4).
Stephen, one of the deacons, "a
man full of faith and of the Holy
Ghost” (6:5), was stoned because
of his testimony for Christ. He be
came the first martyr of the church,
leading the line of those noble men
and women who down to our own
day have been ready to die rather
than to deny Christ. The day may
not be too far distant when some of
us may face that decision. Are we
ready?
To every one of us who is a Chris
tian comes the necessity of living
for Christ. Some in Jerusalem died
(v. 2), some were imprisoned (v. 3),
but notice that the others were scat
tered abroad, like brands from a
fire, carrying the message of God’s
Word. They were not afraid, did
not go into hiding, nor did they “ad
just” their message to meet the cir
cumstances. They went “every
where preaching the word.”
While persecution may sometimes
hinder the spread of the gospel, it
also frequently stirs the zeal of
God’s people to preach and teach*.
Just now in the midst of the havoc
of war and persecution the good
news of salvation is spreading in
lands which hitherto knew it not.
Are you and I doing our part?
11. By Preaching That Brought
Joy (vv. 5-8).
Philip, a layman (the first of
many great evangelists) and a Jew,
went to the despised Samaritans
with the gospel, and God so signally
blessed his ministry that a great re
vival broke out and “there was
much joy in the city.”
What we need is more gospel
pleaching and teaching. You lay
men, please note that you are not to
wait /for the preacher to do it.
Spread the good news yourself. And
note too that it is to be preached to
all people, even to those whom we
might (humanly speaking) be tempt
ed to despise, either by reason of
race or position in life. It was a
glorious thing that happened to Phil
ip in Samaria. It can happen again,
and "it can happen here.”
111. By Fellowship That Brought
Blessing (vv. 14-17).
When the church at Jerusalem
heard what had happened in Sama
ria, they were overjoyed, and sent
two of their leaders, Peter and John,
to encourage and counsel with the
new converts.
Such fellowship always brings
blessing, and in this case it was un
usual blessing; namely, the gift of
the Holy Spirit. On this occasion
God thus gave these new Samaritan
believers the blessing and power of
the Holy Spirit in such a way as to
bind them in fellowship to the church
in Jerusalem. Jew and Gentile be
lievers in Christ thus were joined in
one communion of love and faith.
IV. By Broadened Vision That
Brought Action (v. 25).
Peter and John had completed
their work in Samaria and were on
' their way home to Jerusalem, but
what they had seen had given them
anew vision. They acted on that
vision, and as they passed through
the villages of Samaria they
“preached the gospel” with joyful
hearts. What an interest and stir
they must have created!
It is one thing to see an oppor
tunity and a need; it is quite an
other to do something about it. For
that, one needs determination of pur
pose. As Lloyd George put it, “You
cannot fight a winning battle with a
retreating mind.” These apostles
were reaching out for God, and un
der His leadership and blessing, into
the villages of Samaria.
The Christian church needs more
real consecrated action; that is, in
the name of Christ and for His
glory. The business man who con
ducts his secular affairs with en
thusiasm and dispatch, often forgets
all that in his church duties. He
advertises and seeks new markets
for his goods, but is not interested
in the outreach of the church. He
can get excited about the Rotary
Club or the Lions or what not, but
never develops the slightest enthu
siasm about the Lord’s work. It
goes without saying that such a
“picture” is all out of focus. Let’s
make it right. Vision? Yes, by an
means. But also action for God.
