Foreign Missions Work Opened Up.

Peter invited six outstanding Jewish
Christians to accompany him to Caes-
area, where he believed they would
witness evidence that would con-
clusively establish the Gentile's right
to be recognized as a follower of the
Lord Jesus. Cornelius welcome and
explanation of why he had sent for
the apostle confirmed him in the con-
victiorr that God is no respecter of
persons" that is the vital principle
of democracy and the charter of Cos
pei freedom.
Peters address was packed with
meaning, for in few sentences he
gave the assembly the great facts of
the Christian faith He presented
Jesus as prophet, priest and poten-
tate, endowed with power from above
and destined to return to rule. He
pointed out how the Lord had lived
life marked by working out good
deeds.' was crucified, buried and
raised from the dead, proving beyond
question His claims and the power of
His atoning death to the witnesses
who We're chosen of God to meet Him
after His resurrection and appointed
to preach to the people that this was
He whom God had ordained to be the
judge Of the living and of the dead"
While Peter was speaking, his SER
mon was interrupted by the unex-
pected outpouring Of the Holy Spirit
upon the Gentle believers. The repe-
tition of Pentecost confirmed the
apostles faith in the meaning of the
visions that he and Cornelius had re-
ceived. 1t resulted in the conversion
of both Jews and Gentiles. The six
Hebrew Christians were converted to
accept a version of their faiths uni
versatility that is quite familiar to us,
but was new to the apostle and the
delegation from the Joppa church, who
recognized that they had no right to
demand of the Gentiles that they
should embrace Judaism to become
Christians. Having received the
Spirit, Peter commanded that they be
baptized in the name of the Lord
Jesus and welcomed them into the
Christian fellowship.
Peter Defends His Missionary Work.
News of Peters missionary work
among the Gentiles preceded him, so
that he faced the criticism OF the
members of the Jerusalem church
along the same lines that the Master
had been condemned for "eating and
drinking with publicans and sinners,
who did not keep the Mosaic laws in
reference to their food. The apostle
made the logic of the events the basis
of his answer to the critics. who con-
demned him for his disregarding the
regulations and barriers concerning
fellowship with those who did not keep
the laws of Moses. He defended him.

in an effort to escape answering God s
call for him to preach in Ninevah.
Great RATS of logs for the temple in
Jerusalem had been brought to that
place from Tyre. Viewing the ocean
has tendency to remove any mar
rowness of thought and may have
raised in Peters mind the question
as to where he was to go next.
The next day following the vision of
Cornelius, Peter, while waiting for
delayed meal and absorbed in his de-
Votions, fell into q trance. He be-
held the sky opened, and a vessel de-
scendlng like an enormous sail let
down to earth by the four corners"
He saw within all kinds Of food, that
caused him to decline the orders to
XIII and eat, because he had never
eaten anything that was unclean.
What God has cleansed you must
not call common" contains the key
to the revelation, which was made
clear to him by the providential ar
rival of three strangers with their
message from Cornelius. Their story
of his vision the day previous and the
one the apostle had just seen made
clear to Peter that the Lord was
teaching him in symbolical way that
Christ had removed the barriers of
separation between men and nations
and was seeking to unite them in a
great spiritual brotherhood unlimited
by rank or race. country or caste.
The meaning of the great commission
commenced to dawn upon the apostle,

eign missions by accepting the invita-
ton of Cornelius.

most remarkable features of the build
ing is the unique western front, the
central part of which is occupied by
one vast arch extending from the
ground to the roof.
There are many elaborate tombs in
the abbey church, and these graves
hold the bodies of some of England s
most historic characters. There are
two very fine organs in the church,
and one of them, constructed in the
seventeenth century, is noted for it's

The timbers were cut last fall but were buried so deeply under the snow that their extraction was difficult and he apparent ly wrenched his shoulder al the task, in which he was ao. sisted by Homer Ficklin. A slight hurt speedily develop ed into intense suffering anu laid him up entirely in a few days. He was much better however, by the time the res cue party consisting of Eli. Watland, Al Sweeney, Marmot Kelley, "24O", and Homer Ficklin arrived. Owing to the deep snow, the rescuers were all day making the trip up u the Engineer, even tho trail was broken a good part of the way by a number of horses belonging to Jack Rennie. MT.

 Under the development plan worked out by managing en. gineer R. c. Mellon the ore is being blocked out in 100 foot blocks, each block averaging approximately 5000 tons.
