Scripture: Acts 10; Galatians
1926; John 1874.
BY WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D..

Christianity from the beginning
was designed to be a world re.
ligion.
The message of the Gospel was
that God so loved the world, that
He gave His only begotten Son
that whosoever believeth in Him
might not perish, but have ever
lasting life" Jesus said: Il am
the light of the world" His com
mission to the Disciples was: GO
ye into all the world, and preach the
gospel to every creature" make
disciples of all nations"
When one considers the little
company of Christians, in g
small province of the vast Ro
man Empire, daring to think Of
making their faith and expert.
ence worldwide, the spiritual dar
ing Of it is amazing. It. is M
wonder if many have failed tt
catchs the vision. Missionary vi
sion and passion have after al
been manifested by only a mi
nority of those who profess the
Christian way.
But what a minority! And how
wonderfully those who have gone
to the remote parts of the world
telling the story of Christ and Of
the love of God, have been vindi
Gated in recent years. Soldiers
in the jungles of Pacific islands,
forced down from the air or cast
upon the shore, have found succor
and safety through friendly natives
whose hearts had been touched and
whose ways had been changed by
the missionaries.
Yet prejudices die hard, and
the world view of Christianity,
and the world fellowship of
Christian faith, life and service
has had to overcome great OBJ
stacles. In Acts 10 is the story
of the overcoming of Peters stub
born prejudice, in his notion that
the blessings of the new-found
Christ were for Jews only, or for
those who accepted Jewish rites
and practices. The test time came
when Cornelius, a Roman centur-
ion, sent him seeking light and
guidance.
While the messengers from
Cornelius were on their way, Peter
had a dream. In his hunger he
saw a great sheet let down from
heaven, with beasts and fowls and
a voice said to him, Rise, Peter
slay and eat" mot So" said Peter,
''for I have never eaten anything
common or unclean." Then what
Peter recognized in the dream as
the Lords voice said, 'What God
hath cleansed, that call not thou
common"

The Land of Beginning Again

II played with my blocks-I
was but a child,
Houses I builded, castles l
piled;
But they tottered and fell, all
my labor was vain:
Yet my father said kindly,
Well try it again!
I played with my days-what's
time to a lad?
Why pore over books? Play,
play and be glad!
Till my youth was all spent
like a sweet summer rain;
Yet my father said kindly,
Yell try it again!
I played with my chance; such
gifts as were mine
To work with, to win with, to
serve the Divine,
With prodigal hand Z did waste
and profane;
Yet my father said kindly,
Well try it again!
I played with my soul the
soul that is I,
The best that is in mel
smothered its cry;
I lulled it, I dulled it, and now,
O the pain!
Yet my Father said kindly,
We'll try it again"

man.
Bethea, an attorney, died at an
Orangeburg hospital about a. M
Adams died soon after the crash
and before he could be taken to
the hospital.
Two other Columbians, R. R.

ernor in 1916 for another two-year

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON

While Peter meditated upon the
dream, the three messengers from
Cornelius arrived and Peter went
with them next day to Cornelius.
He stated his Jewish inhibitions
frankly, but told how God had re-
buked him, and shown him that he
must not call any man common
or unclean.
That day Peter got vision OF
Christ for all humanity. Would
that all Christians should get such
dream!
