"If any man will do his trill, he shall know of the doctrine, •hether it be of God.” (John 7:17). Peter had learned anew that Ood's Word meant just what it said.

When God has not raised any barriers of race, creed, color, class, «social position, it is not for his Mowers, and assuredly not for his tenants, to build “fences” which lie would not authorize or countenance If God intended to save gentles. Peter wanted to be an instrument in hts hand, not a hindrance h his way. One of the needs of our day is txt those doing God's work should S3t withstand him and his will. He rto is the same yesterday, today, ud forever is ready to work as Powerfully today as he did in the days of Finney and Moody, and in tie days of Abraham, Moses, Danel and of Peter.

From Housetop In Old Joppa Comes New Vision Os Peace Basis Os Brotherhood Revealed To Peter—Racial And National Prejudice Shattered— Christian* ity A Universal Religion.

■y WILLIAM T. ELLIS As a boy in Frankford, a suburb of Philadelphia. 1 followed down Main Street, with other hoys, the first Chinese I had ever seen, who had come to open a laundry. Later, when In the villagee of China I was followed by crowds of Chinese youngsters, calling "Yang-way-zie” —"foreign devil" —I thought upon the narrow provincialism and prejudice that is world wide. "Foreigueis” is a word everywhere i spoken with a measure of coni tempt. Even a world war has not i shocked humanity into a consciousness of its essential oneness. Yet that awareness is indispensable to universal peace. There is no more practical problem confronting mankind today than that which is embodied in the story of Peter on a Joppa housetop, two thousand years ago. As Senor Salvador de Madariaga wrote recently in the New York Times. "Peace. ... is going to live [ a precarious life so long as a new world outlook does not raise and 1 illumine the eyes of men. Kindly note that this is idealism. It is dire 1 and stern, and even grim, realism, ilt is no use fooling ourselves about peace. We are not going have I peace .... till we conquer it by [ our heroic will to rise out of the i rut of humdrum, village-pump natlnalism." That truth which was so dramat-’ ically taught Peter must be learned anew today by statesmen, educators and citizens everywhere. Old Scripture For New Times Some folks hold religion as some thing apart from everyday life. ■ They do not see any necessary ; connection between the Scripture iand the affairs of the world. They : even think they can be good Christians and bad citizens. The which is stupid. Even a little sound reasoning makes clear the relation of the tremendous truths of the Bible to the times in which we live. Thus, it is commonly forgotten that only Christianity ever bridged the gulf between races and taught that all men are God’s children. and brothers one of another. Consider how contempuously the Roman, the Greek and the Jewregarded "barbarians.” Even the apostles could not at first grasp the staggering truth that the Gospel is for all men. regardless of race.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 1936.

took a miracle-vision to convince Peter that his Good News was for the Gentiles, as well as for the Jews. If this Ijesson has any significance at all for the modern person it is that in the Gospel of Christ lies the one hope of bringing iu a new era of good will, tolerance, brotherhood and peace. There is abroad in the world a vague intellectual “internationalism" which never gets down to the basic reality f a changed human nature. What we really need is the mastering conviction that only as men accept Christ s Master do they all become brethren. That great modern missionary to Arabia. Dr. Paul W. Harrison (whose praises were 'once sung to me by his friend, 'King Ibn Saoud) penetrates to the (core of the matter in his declaration. “There is no rational humanitarian service for Arabia except that which has for its object the bringing of men and women to Christ.” Old Joppa In The News i In a recent newspaper I saw a photograph of the center of Jaffa —which is old Joppa—as bombed by the British in attacks upon| Arab agitators. It does not occur to readers of the news from Pales- | tine to link the present troubles, I there with the vision of Peter on a jJoppa housetop. Nevertheless, the racial question is at root the same.! , Jew and Arab are clashingt to-J today; it was Jew and Gentile in Peter's day. : Peter’s vision came as he slept [on the housetop of Simon the tanner, by the tumultuous seashore. I Here is Luke's report of the inci'dent: “Peter went up upon the to pray, about the sixth hour; and he became hungry, and desired to eat; but while they made re. 4y. he fell into a trance; and he beholdeth the heaven opened. and a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet, let down by four corners upon the earth: wherein were all manner of fourfooted beast and creeping things of the earth and fowls of the heaven. And there came a (voice to him. Rise. Peter; kill and eat. But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything [that is common and unclean. And I a voice came unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, make not thou common. And this was done thrice; and straightway the vessel Was received up into heaven.” God's Synchronized Clocks While Peter was experiencing this vision, messengers were at the door of Simon the tanner's house, from Centurion Cornelius,

of Caesarea, a Gentile who had been seeking spiritual light and had been told in a vision to send for Peter. God had been working with Cornelius as well as with Peter. His clocks are all synchronized. What happened up the coast in Caesarea was timed to accord exactly with what happened in Joppa. God’s forces are always in tune. Prepared by his vision for this violation of Jewish practice and law, Peter went to Caesarea, where the Roman officer and his household awaited them. After Cornelius had told of his vision, Peter began his exposition of the full Gospel with the memorable saying, “Os a truth. I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: but in every nation he that t'eareth Him, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to Him.” He proceeded to tell the story of Christ and of Him crucified, and his hearers were converted, so that upon them fell the Holy Spirit, even as upon the Jews. All of this Lesson points a missionary moral. If the Gospel is good for anybody it is good for everybody. Explicitly, the New Testament proclaims it as for all men. Jew and Gentile alike. All truth is universal. There are no geographical or national or racial barriers to the Word, which works the same wonders in the Chinese, the African, the Arab as it does in the European or the American.
