Members of the Yoke Fellows Sunday School Class of the Tabernacle Presbyterian Have Breakfast Before They Hear Johnson’s Talk. By the Visitor Years ago the pastor used to do the visiting from home to home, stopping in for lunch or dinner. Conditions have changed in recent years. The modern pastor now lunches with the men of his church at a noonday club. But the latest thing is for the men of the modern Sunday school class to have their own Bible home and to have breakfast together on a Sunday morning.

And this Is just what the men of the Yoke Fellows Sunday School Class of the Tabernacle Presbyterian Church are doing. And there is a reason for the first because this class has grown so rapidly that it had to have its own temporary home. Several years ago the first unit, the auditorium of the Tabernacle Presbyterian Church was completed. This first unit is not large enough to accommodate the rapidly growing department. So the men of this Bible class decided to build their own Bible Home on the grounds of the church. This has been completed at a cost of about S6OO and will be used until the Sunday school unit of the church is built. There are two more units to be built. This little homo of the bible class will be used for Its original purpose until the church units are completed and then it will be converted into a summer camp for members of the church. Andrew Shirley is president of the class and Emsley W. Johnson, Indianapolis attorney, is the teacher. Today many business and professional men find it highly enjoyable to teach Sunday school classes. Various church reports all over the country show that the men are taking more Sundky school and church interest than they have in the last ten years. • • • INDIANA PREACHER IS MISSIONARY LEADER The World Service Commission of the M.

Dr. Springer has just submitted to the Board of Foreign Missions a report showing that there are at present twenty-three Methodist missionaries from the United States laboring in this field. They are assisted by forty-foun native pastors and exhorters and by more than fifty native school teachers. There are also a number who have a rudimentary medical practice and conduct the clinics in the out of the way villages. Practically all of these native Christian workers were taken into the schools and churches by Doctor and Mrs. Springer when they were children and trained for the work they are now doing. More than 800 children are enrolled in the Sunday schools of the district. Today there are important mission stations at Elizabethvllle, famous for its copper spouters; at Panda, where the copper and uranium mines have brought together several thousand natives and Europeans; at Kabongo; at Katanga, in the heart, of Sandoa and Kambove. Anew central mission station was opened just a fe wweeks ago at Kaneno, near Klnda, by the Rev. Roy S. Smyres, anew missionary in the Congo field. This station will specialize in the advanced training of the Christian native workers of the territory. In the last quadrennlum, sixty-six new missionaries have been added to the staff, sixty-two new churches organized ard forty-seven buildings erected on property purchased for churches and schools, 5,713 added to church membership and the Increase In estimated value In all missionary property is $400,000. Doctor Springer Is probably the best known Methodist missionary in Africa today. He is a graduate of South Dakota State College, of Northwestern University and of Gar ; rett Biblical Institute. Doctor and Mrs. Springer lived for several years in Evanston and Chicago, 111. Mr. Smyrea is also a Northwestern and Garrett man. He has taken postgraduate work In Cornell University.

Margaret Cox

On Sunday, June 7. at 2:15 and 8:15 p. m. in St. Catherine’s Hall, Shelby and Taber Sts., St. Catherine's Dramatic Club will present “Stop Thief,” a three-act comedy. The plot is humorous from start to finish and concerns the escapades of a kleptomaniac on his wedding day. The family employs a maid who turns out to be a professional crook and she and her accomplice endeavor to make off with all the wedding presents. The bridegroom, knowing that he is afflicted with kleptomania, believes that he is doing the stealing unconsciously. A broker who calls on the family loses his wallet and in his ange rcalls the police. When the police arrive the sergeant starts to read his search warrant but finds someone has stolen even that. One of the crooks poses as a detective but is discovered and in the excitement that follows both make their getaway. However, after losing the police, they return for the loot and upon their promise to go straight the family promises not to press the charge. The many embarrassing situations are then explained away and the kleptomaniacs are exonerated. The entire action of the play takes place in the home of Mr. Garr, Providence. R. I. Miss Betty Tuttle, as the bride, and Miss Margaret Cox, as the maid, have leading roles.

WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Peter’s Broadening Vision Is Revealed Here

The International Uniform Sundry School Leason for June 7. Peter's Broadening Vision.—Act* 11:1-81. . By WM. Eu Gilroy, D. D., Editor of The CongregaHonaUst. r~ —|F a truth I perceive that God (J is no respector of persons,” said Peter. It required a great deal to bring him back to that perception—among other things, the vision that our lesson records. The vision was of animals, of four-footed beasts, and creeping things and fowls, let down from heaven in a great sheet. Peter had gone to sleep hungry (Acts 10:10), but even his hunger revolted against this medley of strange things. To the command that came in the vision to rise, slay and eat, Peter’s reply was very emphatic. He had never eaten anything common or unclean. Then came the divine voice in the vision, "What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common or unclean.” And while Peter awakened and wondered %hat it all meant, there'came thejcrtocklng of visitors at the door, and the revelation that the matter was not one of prejudice against animals, but a matter of prejudice against men. Peter, who had heard his Master’s words about brotherly love, and about the greatest of all as the one who served best, was still in spite of his experiences hardly free from the prejudices of his former religious life. Bigotry’s Curse Sectarianism and bigotry are terrible things. They Invade the very sanctities of a man’s soul, and they pervert his kindliest thoughts and his most generous impulses. He is so apt to interpret brotherly love as something to be exercised only within his own circle and not toward those of other groups. Surely the worst of all pretensious and Pharisaic aristocracy Is that which assumes that it is itself specially favored of God! When will the world learn that ‘God does not play favorites, that He gives to men responsibilities and

duties, that from those to whom much is given much will be required, and that all men have a share in His love and grace? The Same Today If we wonder that Peter, having known the Savior, and having had such remarkable experiences, came so slowly to realize that God is no respecter of persons, let us remember that despite the history of nineteen centuries of Christianity, the same sort of prejudices as were In Peter are found today within the very portals of the Institution that calls itself the church of Christ. Here is an incident, possibly not typical, but none the less of a Vort by no means rare. An earnest minister became pastor of a church that professed to be a very haven of saints. It prided Itself upon its orthodoxy and its devotion to the true gospel. Many of its people had the pride of wealth and of social position. It was a church that had had what is called “prestige, 1 but the character of its environment was changing. Its members were moving out towards the suburbs, and it was becoming surrounded wlthxa boarding house district. Minister Is Rebuked Probably there were more people In the district than there had ever been before, and the church had a real opportunity of ministering to the people. The minister deplored’ the empty seats. He wanted to be reaching the people. He was a real minister of Christ. He was neither a sensationalist, nor a man of cheap and artificial ways. He was a man of culture and scholarship. But he went about the matter earnestly. He circularized the neigh-

borhood inviting people to come to church. They responded and on Sunday evening the seats were comfortably filled. The minister thrilled with anew sense of success, and as he Joined a little group of his members after the service, he remarked that it was fine to see the seats filled. “Yes,’ the members replied, "but we don’t like it; they’re not our sort." How Christ must weep over such a church, and over such Christians!
