GILROY, D. D. EdIUr Atfr.ne. TRIE study Barnabas a a "consecrated man of means." If the word were not so seriously abused and productive of misleading asso ciations, we should call Barnabas an early Christian "communist." That was really what he was in his early experience with the church when, we are told, the Christians had all things In common. If all people in the world were Christians, and all Christians were of the character and quality of Barnabas, communism would be an Ideal organization of society, but we can never have the sort of communism that Barnabas practiced without the Barnabas sort of faith and character.

There is not a great deal con- 'cernfn him in scripture, and yet he stands as an outstandingly great character of the whole bible. There is evidence that many converts to early Christianity were poor. The poverty of the Christians lu the home church at Jerusalem was so great that Paul took up a collection for them In churches that were established In other parts of Asia and In Europe. gUT not all these early Chris-tains were poor or people of humble position. Later, in the church at Rome, we are told there were saints in Caesar's household, and here in the very beginning of the Christian church there were men like Barnabas who rwd property.

We are not told Just how ex tensive Barnabas' property may have been. Otherwise the record is specific. He had a field, and he sold it, snd he brought the money and laid it at the apostle's feet, thst it might be used for the en ruir WITH TBS FOLLOWS It may be remembered that Paul took Barnabas as his early missionary companion, tho we may recall also that the two fine men had a dispute which they could not, apparently, adjust and which led to their separation. The dispute was about John Mark, au thor of the second gospel, the nephew of Barnabas, whom Paul did not wish to take with them again because he considered that John Mark had left them under circumstances not to his credit, rrHE character and the acts of A Barnabas are In distinct contrast with those of Ananias and Sapphlra, who professed to do the same thing as Barnabas, but who withheld the actual price of what had been sold. We ought to grasp quite clearly the plain teaching here.

The sin of Ananias and Sapphlra was in misrepresenting the matter and not In their unwillingness to give the entire price of what they had sold. The ideal thing In the Christian life Is the full surrender of one's life and possessions to the service of God and man. But different Individuals must determine what that means In their own lives. If we would be truly Christian we must take such a man as expressing a great ideal, and we must in our own way. with will and courage, determine how we can put that Ideal into practice.

Possibly more men, if they had the will and spirit, could mani fest the depth of their faith by fol lowing with literalness the example of Barnabas, fc NtWS 21 Tears at 518 Jefferson and his three brothers after the death of their parents la the first lnlhi'Miza epidemic.
