Joppa. Now, on the morrow, as they
were on their journey, and drew
near unto the city, Peter went upon
the housetop to pray, about the sixth
hour, and he became hungry, and
desired to eat; but while they made
ready, he fell into a trance; and he
beheld the heaven opened, and GER
tain vessel descending, as it were a
great sheet, let down by four cor
ners upon the earth; wherein were all
manner of four-footed beasts and
creeping things of the earth and birds
of the heaven. And there came a
voice to him: Rise, Peter, kill and
eat. But Peter said, not so, Lord, for
I have never eaten anything that is
common and unclean. And voice
came to him again the second time.
What God hath cleansed, make not
thou common. And this was done
thrice, and straightaway the vessel
was received up into heaven, and
while Peter was much perplexed in
himself, what the vision which he
had seen might mean, behold, the
men that were sent by Cornelius,
having made inquiry for Simon's
house, stood before the gate, and
called and asked whether Simon, who
was surnamed Peter, were lodging
there. And while Peter thought on
the vision, the spirit said unto him:
Behold, these men seek thee. But
arise and get thee down, and go with
tl,rnl. nothing doubling, for I have

prejudice is socially and religiously
prominent in the Church of the liv-
ing God. The vision of Peter and
Cornelius is our vision or rather it
should be. Let us beware of volun-
tary repulsive narrowness, that is
really of suspicious, conceited, un-
charitable spirit. Let us hold a broad
theology, theology as wide as judg-
ment, mercy and truth: Let us belong
to broad church, a church so wide
that it will give space to al genuine
powers and passions of our large,
manifold humanity. Let not our spirit
be mistrustful, critical, censorious,
prohibitive, but hopeful, sympathetic,
tolerant, knowing that in God the
world is ours. Our life in the full
ness thereof. For he giveth to all life,
and breath to all things. 1t was He
who made of one blood all nations of
men for to dwell on all the face of the
earth, and it's in Him we live, and
move, and have our being in this
world.
1t is important to note that Jesus
Christ at the utmost remove from
prudish, pedantic, carping, pettifog-
ging Pharisee, He, above all men, had
broad sympathies, largeness of mind,
magnanimity: He was the ideal Cath
olic. Let it be thus with us. Let us be
broad, yet pure; broad, yet true;
broad, yet intense and enthusiastic in
the service of our God Let us live
with holy liberty and confidence, hav-
ing love for one another.

VISITS FLOOD AREA

Alfred Edgar Smith, WPA Admin
istrative Assistant, who this week
(F'eb. 21-2S) is touring the flood
area Of the Ohio and Mississippi val
leyS, to gather information for Wash
ington Work-reiief officials on how
hard colored persons were hit by the
flood, and how they are sharing in
the rehabilitation efforts of the WPA
and other agencies. Starting at Mem
phis, Mr.. Smith will work northward
through Louisville, Cairo and way
points to Cincinnati.
The WPA's big job in the flood
area has just begun with the recess
sion of the flood waters in this sec
ton. The flood drove several hun
dred thousand people-many of them
Negroes their homes. Proper
sanitary precautions must be taken
before these homes are reoccupied if
the health of the communities is to
be insured.
Working in cooperation with the
u. S. Public Health Service and state
health department officials, the WPA
is providing the man-power for
cleaning streets and public buildings
of the debris left by the flood. WPA
labor is also being used on emergency
sanitation projects and emergency re-
pairs to water mains and highways.
State administrators in Arkansas,
Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Tennes-
see and Indiana have been given a
free hand in the employment of
workers to relieve the suffering
caused by the flood.
On his tour, Mr. Smith will survey
for the Administrator the needs Of
cclored food victims and the degree
to which they are being assisted in
the general program.

MPLS PUBLIC FORUM

Minnesota is faced with the pros
pect of having to revamp its state
legislative system, according to W..
1. Nolan, who spoke on "The Law
of the Land at the Minneapolis Pub
lie Forum meeting at Phyllis Wheat
ley house Sunday, February 21.
"Framers of the Minnesota con-
stitution provided for a legislature
consisting of a senate and house of
representatives" he pointed out.
The Constitution specifies that the
legislature shall meet bi-annually,
with each session limited to 90 days.
"These provisions were sufficient
to meet the needs of an earlier and
more simple society," but modern
conditions put a much heavier strain
upon the legislative machinery. With
its present set-up and limited ses-
sion, the Minnesota legislature cam
not possibly give proper attention to
the innumerable varied proposals
that come before it."
Other states faced with the prob
lem of an over-burdened legislature
have adopted legislative councils, re-
ference and bill drafting bureaus,
the initiative and referendum and
other changes, the most radical Of
which is the Uni-Cameral legislature
in Nebraska, Nolan said.
"It is difficult" Nolan concluded,
ITO be a law-abiding citizen in a
land where the laws are SO many
and SO varied that no one really
knows the law of the land. In making
laws, we have applied the same prin-
ciple of mass production which pre-
walls in industry.

ITO Whom the Vision Comes"

10 VnOm the VISION comes
Science and reason cannot explain
spiritual phenomena, but neither can
they deny the possibility that the
Onlnipotent, Omnipresence, Omni-
conscience, and Cmniscent God of a
universe crowded with mysteries has
special ways by which He touches
the soul of men and moved them to
action. Tt was vision that made de-
vout, praying, God-fearing Cornelius
send for Peter, the humble Christian
preacher It was vision that made
Peter, the exclusive Jew, go to the
home of Cornelius, the despised Cen
tile. Each was promptly obedient to
the vision they received although
obedience called for action contrary
to natural inclinations. 1t wasn't a
scientific vision, but one that came
from God. While pondering in his
mind the full meaning of the vision,
the arrival of the messengers sent by
Cornelius, stood before the gate.
There was an affinity, it seems,
between the minds of these two men,
Peter and Cornelius, singular mys-
terious sympathy. In the scientific
world, similar condolences perpetu-
ally take place, discoveries, appar-
emily unconnected, without any ap-
parent link between the minds which
make them, are announced from diff
ferent parts of the earth almost SIM
ultaneously. No one, perhaps, has
been altogether unconscious of men,
tai sympathies, condolences of
thought which are utterly inexplic-
able.
Peter must have recognized that
the vision meant more than doing
away of the ceremonial custom in re-
gard to food, and no wonder he was
perplexed as to what might be the
far-reaching consequences of the
principle symbolically set forth.
Judea had to some extent accepted
Christ, but it had not rejected
Moses, who forbade social and re-
ligious intercourse with the heathen.
The separation was complete. 1t was
not a matter of day, but of CEN
turies. 1t is worse than Hindu caste.
The chasm between denomination
alism in this country is as nothing
compared to that between Jew and
Greek. The touch of the latter was
defiling, his food was an abomina-
ton to the devout Israelite, and his
religion blaspheny. The social and
religious practice of Judaism in most
of our churches today, social and BIZ
gotry are most prevalent, insomuch
that as sheets with four-footed beast
and creeping things, and birds, should
be let down from heaven in our
churches so we can get vision from

HorIE AND FIREsIDE

Into world of trials and tribulations
we pave our way.
And each day a worthy deed we oft
time try to convey,
Toiling, reioicing as we go through
life day by day,
And only God does know what some
must confront and defray.
Scenic highways today lead the
way to that spot where once we all
played, home, and where we sought
the touch of a mothers hand upon
our brow to sooth our childhood
cries. Some of our mothers may be
gone, but still, memories of them
linger on with us. So on through the
space of time we travel like flash
of light, doing good deeds and bad
ones, meeting new friends, but what
we have today or tomorrow derived
from that elaborate home we once
knew, one who is commonly educat-
ed with merit of honesty receives
just as good name from his TEL
low man oft time as one who was
given the best education that could
be had. So on through the world we
travel encountered, facing whatever
does come trying our might to
please each and every one.
