the importance he attached to minor
religious regulations. He missed the
great sweep of spiritual truth. My
thoughts were turned backward to
the First Church Council in Jeru-

the decision going squarely against
Jewish ritualism and sectarianism,
and in favor of tolerance and lib

this tendency to exalt rules and
precedents common to all of us?
How many of us today are better
Baptists or Methodists or Presby-
terians or Catholics than we are
Christians? We are more loyal to
the churches of Christ than to the
Christ of the churches. We want
our denominational way so intense
ly that practically every church
union yet effected has left behind
small group of dissidents. To this
day there are churches that will
not admit to the Lords table Chris
tians of other denominational names,
There is a degree of comfort for
our narrowness in the experience of
the church of the 1st century. The
original disciples of Jesus were all
Jews, and they bitterly resented the
coming of gentiles into the church,
unless they should first become cir
cumcized and otherwise conform to
the usages of Judaism. They were
so intolerant that when Paul and
Barnabas baptized large numbers of
gentiles, the Jewish Christians sent
trouble-making emissaries to these,
seeking to discredit the missionaries.
Oh, yes, there were cantankerous
Christians even in the days OF those
who remembered Jesus in the flesh.
The church of apostolic times was
not made up of perfect saints. Even
the most cursory reading of Paul's
letters reveals the existence of just
the same sort Of trouble-makers and
divisive forces that bother pastors
today.
Early Cantankerous Saints.
Still, they were Christians strug-
Cling upward. And they respected
the authority of the church. When
the issue of the status of gentle
converts became acute. Paul took it
to the apostles at Jerusalem for
decision.
James, the brother Of Jesus, was
the recognized leader of the church.
We wish we knew more about him.
When was he converted? The BROTH
ers of our Lord were not at first
His followers. Did the resurrection
or Pentecost open the eyes of James?
The best portrait of him is pre-
sented by his own letter, in the
New Testament canon. A just and
rather stern man, he seems to have
been especially qualified to preside
over the heated gentile-Jewish con-
troversy.

Some sugary spirits deplore con-
troversy. Yet we should be grateful
that there were sturdy souls in the
early church, of giant intellect, who
would not compromise their convic-
tions, but argued them through to
decision. In our excessive mod
ernity we should not forget the
church fathers, who seem to have
been gifted with mightier brains
than any we know today. Thanks
to the apostolic church, the Gospel
was saved from being sidetracked
onto narrow racial rails. It became
the religion for all men, Of every
race and country and condition.
The Greatest World Force.
Something of the spirit of that
first General Council seems to be
pervading Christendom today.
Within the last IL months there
have been held three great ecumen-
ical gatherings of Christians, the
Roman Church being the only alb
sentee These were the worldwide
gatherings at Oxford, Edinburgh
and Madras. They dealt with our
faith in comprehensive world terms,
and their messages are everywhere
percolating down into the local
churches.
These significant modern gather
ings reafdrmed the central historic
doctrines of God, the one Father of
us all, and of Jesus Christ, the one
Savior from sin. They stressed the
unity of the world wide church, with
its more than half billion men,
bers. A definite trend toward church
unity has set in everywhere. North
America shows the greatest number
of denominational divisions; never
theless. former president Of the
Federal Council of Churches re-
Gently ventured the prophecy that
in Is years there will be only one
church in all America.
From these recent ecumenical
meetings has come a new under
standing Of the vitality and univer-
salty of Christianity. 1t is the most
potent force on earth today. AS
one instance of its power. we recall
that in Germany only the church
has been able to withstand Hitler
and the Nazi program. We have
learned, too, of the recent large scale
acceptance of the gospel in India
and China and Africa. Deep flowing
in the worlds democracies is a new
understanding of the place of Chris
tianity in practical affairs. States
men are foremost in recognizing the
religious factor In the mood of man
kind.
News reports affected the church
at Jerusalem, even as they affect
the church today. It was the story
of the gospels triumphs amongst
the gentiles that caused the apostles
to make their momentous decision
of a comprehensive, universal church,
instead of Jewish sect. And it is
the tidings. sweeping in from all
parts of the earth concerning a re-
emergence of Christianity in power,
that is arresting and arousing Chris
tians everywhere. A new sense of
the primacy of God in human life,
larger conception Of the char
acter and mission of the church, a
fresh conviction of the utter ade-
quacy of Jesus Christ as the only
leader for these times, are taking
fresh hold Of people everywhere.
Even the greatest heresy of all.
which is indifferentisn, is breaking
down before the SOLDERING on-march
Of the truth that the gospel is for
all men and for all of life.
