all other nations in matters Of
religion.
One Of the greatest problems
Of the early church was whether
or not the gospel should be
preached to the Gentiles. There
was q strict Jewish sect that
thought the teachings Of Jesus
applied to Jews alone. Had this
sect prevailed, Christianity as a
world religion would have been
doomed.
The great apostle, Simon Peter,
preached to Gentle as well as
Jew. He told non-Jews as well
as Jews the story Of Jesus. Upon
one occasion, a scene similar to
that Of Pentecost was re-enacted.
We are told that 1.-THE Holy
Ghost fell on all them which
heard the Word" The Jews were
astonished that Gentiles could be
moved to enthusiasm by hearing
the gospel.
The sermon delivered by Peter
that is recorded in the 10th Chap
ter Of the Book of Acts is re-
markable for clarity and power.
Peter told his audience that God
was no respector of persons, and
that in every nation those that
feared God were acceptable unto
Him. In describing the activities
Of Jesus, he said that the Master
went about doing good" A more
simple and yet forceful state
ment about Jesus could hardly
have been uttered.
AS a result of this sermon,
many Gentiles were converted
and baptized, and Christianity
began to show its power, q
power that later made itself felt
over the entire world.

Peter Preaching
to the. GelatiIes
By REV. EDWARD TABER

The great nations Of the world
have all contributed certain pc
culiar gifts to mankind. Differ
emit civilizations have developed
along very different lines, but
all great peoples have given
something Of permanent value
to the race. The Greeks were
artists and intellectuals; the
Romans had a genius for gov
eminent, and brought all ciyili-
zation under the sway Of Roman
culture.
Among modern nations, Amer
lea has shown the way to the
world in matters Of commercial
activity and material progress.
The great contribution Of the
Jewish people has been religion.
They were perhaps the first
great nation to worship one
God. They were pioneers in
monotheism. Their great prophet,
Moses, repeatedly emphasized
the commandment, "Thou shalt
have none other gods before Me"
Their greatest men, their prophets
and seers, were men with a de-
cided religious bent.
The greatest Teacher Of all
time, Jesus Of Nazareth, was
the eliminating flower Of jew
ish prophecy. Jesus was q Jew,
but His message was for all the
world. He did not have the pro-
vincial attitude toward life that
we find in many Of the early
Jewish teachers. He said upon
one occasion, "Other sheep ]
have which are not of this fold.'
The Jewish people, distinctly
religious, were so proud Of be-
ing the chosen people that they
were inclined to feel superior to
