RELIGION ABROAD
 IS OUR BUSINESS
Rev. Dr. Walker Says It's for All Men, Races and
 Countries

"One of the things which interests me most in the study of this text in the light of the Passion Play and the use that has been made of 1t, this inspiration that has come from 1t in Christian history, in any case the Christian religion, is not some thing that is for one time and place, one age or one race, one group or one nation-it is for all men, for all times, for all races and nations on the face of the globe," stated Rev. Dr. John c. Walker, pastor of the Second Congregational Church yesterday morning in his serman entitled, Where the Passion Play Ends
 Dr. Walker said in part:
 "There is a classic about how once upon a time in the General As sembly of the Church of Scotland some one hundred and fifty years ago there was a spirited debate on what was then revolutionary proposal-to end out missionaries to foreign parts and we give this en- terprise the regular financial SUD- port of the church. Some men argued thatif God had wanted to save the heather he would save them His own way and in His own good time. A certain leader of the kirk of a different type and temper leaped to his feet, walked forward toward the platform, and spoke sharply, to the moderator of the assembly, MT. Moderator" he said, "Rax me that Bible!" which, being interpreted means, I believe, Peach me that Bible." Running his fingers feverishly through the pages he soon came to Matthew 28 and there he head the great commission, "Go ye therefore" God had a mind to have the heather, certainly, but through obedience to His commands to go to all the world.
 '"There are men in our day who would have us leave the Chinese and the Indians alone. They have their religion, we have ours. Why should we not mind our own buSi- ness? Well, my deep conviction is that thatis our business. I still hear ringing in my ears the Great Con- mission to go to all the world. And am very sure that Jesus meant what He said. Trade reaches out to the other side of the world. The Standard oil sells oil for the lamps of China. American trucks and busses ply the busy roads of the Orient. American binders cut the grain on the pampas of the Argen- tine. Many of the better known American brands of goods are world famous. If a good friend of mine exports his company's cars to the foreign market, shall be sadly dis appointed if we haven't got a bit of religion that we can spare for the world at large"
