INDIANA PREACHER
is MISSIONARY LEADER

The World Service Commission of
the M. e. Church, Chicago, sends the
following:
Fifteen years ago the Rev. and
Mrs. John M. Springer Of Cataract,
Wis. opened the first mission sta.
ton Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church in the Belgian Congo. For
four years they were the only mis-
sionaries in territory 400 miles
square. They had one native Chris
tian to assist them in their work.

And this is just what the men Of
the Yoke Fellows Sunday School
Glass Of the Tabernacle Presbyterian
Church are doing.
And there is a reason for the first
because this class has grown so
rapidly that it had to have it's own
temporary home.
Several years ago the first unit,
the auditorium of the Tabernacle
Presbyterian Church was COM
pleted.
This first unit is not large enough
to accommodate the rapidly growing
department. So the men of this
Bible class decided to build their own
Bible Home on the grounds Of the
church.
This has been completed at a cost
of about 5000 and will be used until
the Sunday school unit of the church
is built. There are two more units
to be built.
This little home of the bible class
will be used for its original purpose
until the church units are completed
and then 1t will be converted into
a summer camp for members Of the
church.
Andrew Shirley is president Of the
class and Emsley w. Johnson, In
dianapolis attorney, is the teacher.
Today many business and pro-
fessional men find it highly enjoy.
able to teach Sunday school classes.
Various church reports all over the
country show that the men are
taking more Sunday school and
church interest than they have in
the last ten years.

Probably there were more people
In the district than there had ever
been before, and the church had a
real opportunity Of ministering to
the people.
The minister deplored' the empty
seats. He wanted to be reaching the
people. He was a real minister Of
Christ.
He was neither a sensationalist.
nor man OF cheap and artificial
ways. He was man of culture and
scholarship.
But he went about the matter
earnestly. He circularized the neigh

Peter had gone to sleep hungry
(Acts 1910, but even his hunger re-
volted against this medley Of strange

and wondered shat it all meant.
there came the knocking of visitors
at the door, and the revelation that
the matter was not one of prejudice
against animals, but a matter Of
prejudice against men.
Peter, who had heard his Masters
words about brotherly love, and
about the greatest of all as the one
who served best. was still in spite
of his experiences hardly free from
the prejudices Of his former relig-
ious life.

Sectarianism and bigotry are terri

sanctities OF a mans soul. and they
pervert his kindliest thoughts and
his most generous impulses. He is
so apt to interpret brotherly love as
something to be exercised only with
in his own circle and not toward
those Of other groups.

and Pharisaic aristocracy is that
which assumes that it is itself spe-

The Same Today

If we wonder that Peter, having
known the Savior, and having had
such remarkable experiences. came
so slowly to realize that God Is no
respecter Of persons, let us remem-
Der that despite the history Of nine
teen centuries Of Christianity, the
same sort Of prejudices as were in
Peter are found today within the
very portals Of the institution that
calls itself the church of Christ.
Here is an incident, possibly not
typical, but none the less of sort
by no means rare. An earnest min
lister became pastor Of church that
professed to be a very haven of
saints. 1t prided itself upon its
orthodoxy and it's devotion to the
true gospel.
Many Of its people had the pride
Of wealth and of social position. 1t
was a church that had had what Is
called prestige but the character
of It's environment was changing.
It's members were moving out to-
wards the suburbs, and it was be-
coming surrounded with>a boarding
house district.
