Prejudices die hard. And the
finest of faiths and convictions
tend to become affected by pre-
JUDGES unless preserved by con-
slant watchfulness.
The story of the way in which
well-intentioned c hristia n S
sought TO prevent the fullest
manifestation of the grace of
God in the early church ought
to have been full of enlighten-
ment and warning; but the same
sort Of attitude and prejudice
has marred the entire history of
the Christian church, and per-
sistS, a blot upon the church of
today.
Paul, when he had discussed
these prejudices and rebuked
them, said, Il do not Illustrate
the grace of God" That is an
impressive statement. Are we, by
any chance, setting up our fall
lible opinions, or insisting upon
our ways and our practises to
the Illustration of the grace Of
God?
The well-intentioned disciples
who rebuked the mothers who
brought young children that Je-
sus should bless them were in a
sense frustrating the grace of
God. Jesus was ''much displeaS-
ed" When we seek to impose
ideas, and rites, and formal OBJ
servances on others because they
mean much to us, we are in dan
ger of frustrating the grace of
God. For it is a sound Christian
principle that the Christian must
grow in grace according to Gods
guidance and the light of his own
conscience.
When the power Of the Gospel
became manifest in the saving of
gentiles, and these gentiles took
their place in the fellowship of
the Christian church, the Jewish
Christians, or some of them at
least, who still observed many
of the requirements of the Jew
ish law, sought to impose these
obligations upon the gentle con-
Verts.
Against such an attitude Paul
took strong and uncompromis-
ing ground; but it is instructive
to note the discriminating fac
tors in Paul'S own attitude. Paul
was Jew and proud of his Jew
iSh heritage; he had a deVout
attitude toward the Jewish law
n d he evidently maintained
much of its precepts and re-
quirements in practise; it was
his belief that the law could
not perfectly be fulfilled, and
so he laid great stress upon faith
as "the end Of the law for every
one that believeth": apart from
this he does not seem to have
taken a revolutionary attitude,
or to have sought to persuade
Jewish Christians TO abandon
Jewish rites and praCtises, but
he was insistent and uncompro-
missing in his demand that new
Christian converts should not
be subject to the ritual require
ments of the Jewish law.
Thus Paul observed an atti-
tude of tolerance and common
sense in two ways. He regarded
the rights and liberties of his
fellow Jewish Christians, and he
upheld at the same time the
rights and liberties of the gen
tile converts. 1t was an attitude
consistent with the facts and
principles of the Christian way
as taught and exemplified by
Jesus.
We hold our own liberties In
an honorable and justifiable way
only in so far as we seek to

plenty to do me for quite some
time. We get them at about one
third the price you have to pay,
and we are getting plenty to do
us now. If we should get short
on them at any time, I will write
and let you know. There is moth

Christmas and I guess I'll just
have to forget about sending any
one anything.
Tell all. of the family hello,
and wish that I could see them
on Christmas. If nothing better
comes on Christmas than a good
raid on the Japs, I'll be satisfied.
Our organization is known as the
Rough Raiders and the Japs know
we are plenty rough.
Well, that is about all for this

tell me all about the farm and
how you are getting along.

Youngsters Think
Trusting Mothers
Are Just GullibIe
BY RUTH MILLETT

The two pretty college girls were
talking ever the week end they had
spent at home and one of them told
how she had managed to spend an
evening at a joint her father had
told her to keep away from.
Parents are so gullible," she said
as she finished her story-and both
girls laughed indulgently.
Parents today must be gullible.
Otherwise, how do you account for
the numbers of SWeet-faced young
kids strolling along downtown
streets at night, their giggleS and
sidewise glances at boys in uniform
telling the world they are just wait
ing to be picked up. Certainly their
parents don't know what they are
up to. They must think they are at
a movie, or listening to records at
one of the girls houses, or studying
for a mythical exam.
And the young girls sitting in
poorly lighted taverns, growing
more sentimental with each drink.
Their parents must be so gullible
they don't even sit up to see what
time their kids get home and Wheth-
er or not they have had anything
tC drink.
COSTLY CONFIDENCE
OF course, parents like to believe
what yer their kids tell them 1t is
o comforting to think that sweet
title Susie is studying algebra with
Jane. 1t would be mighty uncom-
'ortable if mother let herself won
Ter if Susie might not be como
where else.
But in these times parents can't
afford the temporary peace of mind
h V receive from being what they
all trusting and their kids call
rullible. They ought to make it
their business to KNOW what their
kids are up to.
