thelr converts, provoking CrltlclSm
from the thoughtful. These acces-
sories have nothing to do with vital
religion; they merely impose the
customs of the Occident upon the
Orient.
Even the Apostolic Church was
profoundly disturbed by this issue.
The conservatives wanted all the
gentle disciples to conform COM
pletely to the Jewish ritual The
question was taken up to the SUI
preme judicatory of the discipleship
the apostles in Jerusalem, with
James, the brother of Jesus, as their
acknowledged head.
The debate was hot and heavy.
On the liberal side, which sought
admission of gentle converts to the
church without circumcision or the
other rites of the Mosaic law, stood
Paul and Barnabas and Peter
though both Peter and Barnabas
seem later to have lapsed on occa-
sion from their progressive stand.
The pleas of Peter and Paul won.
The newborn church was not to
be swathed in the restricting clothes
OF Judaism. Christians were free
from the law; all that mattered was
their individual relationship to Jesus
Christ.

minds have done heroic battle for
the liberation of truth; and the
Christian church today honors
brilliant galaxy of names, such as
Luther, Knox, st. Francis of Assist.
Wesley, Zinzendorf and many
others. Now we have a tradition
of liberty, and our present struggle
Is for fidelity. Out of one of the
great church controversies came the
new battle-cry, In essentials, unity:
in non-essentials, liberty; in all
things, charity"
News in Religion.
1t is rather absorbing to study the
place that news held in this mo-
mentous controversy. Paul swayed
the assembly by narrating facts. We
need to have read these half dozen
chapters in the Book of Acts-Dr.
Luke was star reporter-to under
stand the powerful impact which
this story made upon its hearers.
AS a master orator, Paul reviewed
his own sensational conversion; the
dramatic invasion of Antioch, and
the thrilling events there; the trip
to Cyprus and the fate of Elymas
and the conversion of Sergius
Paulus; the welcome to Pisidian
Antioch, and the subsequent riots
and violence: the long sojourn in
Iconium, with public favor, followed
by mobbing; the acclamation of
the missionaries as deities in Lystra,
and the ensuing near-fatal ston-
ings: the dangerous return to these
cities-the Greek hero tales could
scarcely match these plain state
ments of adventure and of victories.
On the surface of this record dies
the sdmonition to all Christians to
know and to tell more definite facts
about the Kingdoms progress-al-
ways being at pains to be sure of
our facts. Every sermon, every Sum-
day school lesson, needs a greater
infusion Of real and tangible news.
