Jerusalem church by citing the obi
cation of the spiritual brotherhood
through a common allegiance and
faith in Christ Jesus.
In taking his stand upon that vital
democratic principle, Peter has given
us clue that if followed will help re-
move the class spirit seen in the un-
rest Of the modern world. Whether it
comes from the sinister bolshevik, who
openly denies human brotherhood
and makes a mockery of equality" or
from grasping selfishness of any other
class, whether it be capitalistic or
labor, the worlds greatest need at
this moment calls for men and women
to recognize that they are called upon
to help save the threatened civiliza-
ton of all nations by pushing the
work of foreign missions and practic-
ing the Masters principles of brother
hood in their daily life, especially with
those of other nations and races. The
Gospel by it's proclamation of equality
for all destroys every form of preju-
dice-racial, religious, commercial or
national. The religion of the Lord
Jesus offers 70 al the privileges of sal
walton, the possibility OF spiritual de-
velopment, Through self-denial and
sacrificial service for the glory Of God
and the wfare Of humanity. ~.
