Not as famous, perhaps, as some Of
the older missions of California, that
which stands at Santa Clara finds in
terest in the fact that it is the center
of the University of Santa Clara, an
institution conducted by Franciscan
fathers, located on the old mission
lands.
The first site of this structure was
chosen in 1774 by the Rivera expedi-
ton on a spot known by the Indians
as 'Thamien." 1t was planned to ded-
icate it to st. Francis of Assist. These
plans were later changed, and on jan
uary II, 1777, FraS Thomas de la Pena
and Jose Murguer founded the first OF
the three buildings to be known by this
name. They dedicated it to st. Clara
of Assist, founder and first sister Su-
perior of the Franciscans nuns.
The floods came in 1778 and 1779 and
it was found necessary to remove the
building to the valley of Oaks" two
blocks from the site of the present
structure. The cornerstone of this new

Sunday School Lesson
BY
Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson.

during the conference that they held
with Barnabas' and Paul. The Antioch
Church "rejoiced at the exhortation"
that called for them, as gentileS who
had accepted the gospel, to abstain
from idolatry, fornicatton and Things
strangled and blood, which some hold
refers to murder. They enjoyed the al
dresses of the messengers, who accom-.
panied Paul and BarnabaS. JUDAS ana
Silas, who were prophets, approved the
position taken by Paul and BarnapaS'
Paul reported that the troublemakers
had acted without authority OF the
apostles or any action by the Jerusa-
lem Church. The whole trouble within
their ranks was healed, and they en-
tered upon q new era of triumphant
service for the Lord Jesus.
Although the problem had been set
tied in conference and by the action
of the council, Paul had occasion, SO
he tells us, TO refer to the important
decision made by the council at a later
period, when Peter was a guest in An
tioch Evidently the apostle sought TO
satisfy both the conservative and pro-
gressive' elements in reference TO MS
social relations with the new converts.
When his actions were called in ques-
ton, Peter evidently stopped having
social contacts with the Greeks In an
effort to avoid any controversy in An
tioch. When Paul called his attention
to his agreement concerning spiritual
freedom, Peter acknowledged the cor
rectness of Paul's position, and the dan
ger of clash between the two was
averted. Our lesson has pointed out 70
us the value of Christians settling their
differences and disputes in spirit OF
love, seeking to find a common ground
for action that will be free from COM
promising any principles and yet be OF
such character that all can approve
and support for the glory of the Lord
and the development of His kingdom.

ST|MSON FACES
WAR OVERH|S
PEACE MOVE
Part Played at Geneva Farley
Draws Fire From Foes of
U. S. involvement Abroad

The battle-ground of the Sii-o-
japanese crisis was transferred to-
day from the plains of Manchuria
to the halls Of Geneva'S palace
Of Peace" but the American State
Department, which was largely
instrumental in effecting this
t: ansfer, faced a new war" much
nearer home.
This "war was sponsored by
political opponents and that sec
ton Of the American public which
is opposed to the United States
becoming involved in foreign en-
tanglementS or political alliances.
It was started by the United
States acceptance of an invita-
ton from the League Of Nations
for an American observer to sit
in on the discussions Of the Sino-
Japanese crisis insofar as the
Kellogg pact is involved.
Into League, Fear
Political opponents Immediately
characterized Americas repreSen-
tation on the League council, for
the first time in history, as the
opening of new drive to get the
United States into the League.
Dispatches from Geneva indi-
Gated certain League members saw
the matter i'm the same light. One
member openly expressed the
hope that United States repre-
sentatiOn on the council in this
crisis would result in this cOun-
try's having q representation on
that body regularly in the future.
Thus, while having achieved
his objective by obtaining a place
for an American observer on the
council, Secretary Of State Slim
son had to move swiftly in an
effort to heaA off the drive
against the State Department
from political quarters in this
country.
StimSOn'S Defense
This he did by making public
his instructions to Prentiss Gil
bert, American consul at Geneva,
who was designated as the hmeri-
can observer, informing him he
was to participate in the coun-
cil's discussions only insofar as
the, Kellogg anti-war pact is in
volved. y
II he attends meetings of the
council at which any ther phases
of the Manchurian crisis are dis
cussed, it must be only in the
capacity Of an observer, Mr..
Stimson ordered.
