These were Jewish converts who held that all who believ- ed in Jesus should conform to Jewish laws. For them faith in them was not enough for salvation. They were willing to admit the Gen- tiles, if the Gentiles would submit themselves to the Jewish customs, and in particular to circumcision.

Mrs. Baird owned the kitchen. It was much such a kitchen as the av- erage farm kitchen, too small for ail the things which should be in it. In fact, it was the summer kitchen, with all that implies in the way of moving FFE stoves twice a year, and having to see corner. A door led from the kitchen onto the porch.

He recalled™ the fact that the ancient prophets had foretold not only the restoration of the Jewish kingdom, the tabernacle of David, but also that the Gentiles should, with the residue of men, seek after the Lord. The council enjoined only that Gentile Christians should, for the sake of peace and unity, ab- stain from certain. things which were peculiarly offensive to their Jewish i and fellow Christians (vv. 20, 21).
