YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
—Christian Character Illustrated by
Barnabas.
I. Barnabas, the Man (Acts 4:36).
His original name was Joseph.
When he became a Christian, he was
renamed Barnabas signifying the
change from the old life to the new.
This was a common custom, for ex
ample, Simon to Peter and Saul to
Paul. The name means "Son of
Prophecy” or “exhortation and con
solation.” This shows not only the
nature and spirit of Barnabas but
that he possessed the gift of horta
tory preaching. The exercise of this
gift made him a son of consolation.
11. Barnabas, the Philanthropist
(Acts 4:37).
So fully had the divine love per
meated the very being of Barnabas
that seeing the need of his fellow-be
lievers, he sold his property and
brought the money and laid it at the
apostles’ feet. His generosity ex
pressed Itself in deeds, not in pious
words and promises. He counted
nothing his own while his brethren
were in need. He was in no sense
obliged to do this as there was no
6uch thing in the early church ns a
binding law of a community of goods.
Private ownership of property was
recognized, Acts 5:4.
111. Barnabas, the Christian States
man (Acts 11:19-30).
The violent persecutions of the
church scattered the disciples. As
they went they preached the Gospel,
and churches were established. Tire
most conspicuous of these was at An
tioch, the capital of Syria, because it
became the most important center in
the spread of Christianity. Every
thing went well as long ns the Gospel
message was preached to the Jews
only. The idea held among the dis
ciples at that time was that the Gen
tiles were excluded. But at Antioch
certain of these disciples deliberately
preached Christ among the Greeks.
The seal of the Lord was upon this
ministry nnd great multitudes believed
and turned to the Lord. The news of
this revolutionary preaching reached
the ears of the church at Jerusalem
and caused not a little excitement and
discussion. The church decided to
send a committee to Antioch to look
into the matter.
1. Barnabas Sent to Antioch (vv.
22-24). Fortunately in this case they
sent the proper man. Barnabas was
a good man and full of the Holy
Ghost and faith. Therefore, he had
spiritual discernment and broad sym
pathy. Good men are quick to see
good. When he came to Antioch he
saw the grace of God and was glad.
If we have grace in ourselves, we will
be able to see grace in others. He
exhorted and urged them forward in
their work. Men like Barnabas are
much needed today in our churches—
men of vision and Christian courtesy
nnd sympathy.
2. Barnabas Goes After Saul (vv.
25-26). The work so prospered that
help was needed, so Barnabas went
after Saul. These men had been to
gether before. After Saul’s conver
sion, ha came to Jerusalem and tried
to join himself to the disciples but
they were afraid of him. Barnabas
befriended him (Acts 9:26-27). He
saw that Saul was really a converted
man. Being a good man he could see
there was good In Saul. Barnabas
thus introduced Saul to his great
work as apostle to the Gentiles.
8. Disciples Called Christians (v.
26). After a year of teaching by Paul
and Barnabas, the name Christian
was given to the disciples. The name
was associated with the teaching.
Paul taught the vital oneness of the
believer with Christ so it was natural
that the dlsclpies should be called
Christian.
4. Barnabas and Saul go to Jeru
salem With Alms (vv. 26-30). Because
of the oneness of Christians with
Christ and with one another, the dis
tress of the brethren at Jerusalem
mast be relieved by the gifts of the
believers at Antioch. These gifts
had a powerful effect In removing the
suspicions of the brethren at Jeru
salem.

Nothing Helped until She
Taking Lydia E. Pink
kam*B Vegetable Compound
<r When r;y baby was bom, ’’says Mrs.
Posluszny, 106 High Street, Bay City,
Michigan, “1 got up
too soon. It made
me so sick that I was
tired of living and
the weakness run me
down something aw
ful. I could not get
up out of bed morn
ings on account of
my back; I thought it
would break in two,
and if I started to do
any work I would
have to lie down. I do
not believe that any woman ever suffered
worse than I did. I spent lots of money,
but nothing helped me until I began to
take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound. I felt a whole lot better
after the first bottle, and I am still tak
ing it for I am sure it ia what has put
me on my feet.”
If you are suffering from a displace
ment, irregularities, backache, nervous
ness, sideache or any other form of fe
male weaknes you should write to The
Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn,
Massachusetts, for Lydia E. Pinkham’s
