Willingness to Suffer Martyr s Fate Called Hope of World
Church Will Resist All Efforts to Subordinate It to State, Says Bishop Sherrill. BY RT. REV. HENRY K. SHERRILL, D. D. Protestant Episcopal Bishop of Massachusetts. Dean Speery tells the story of a tourist who exclaimed upon entering the room of some Oxford students, “The old ruins seem still to be inhabited.” He goes on to state that the same comment may be made of the church.
Certainly, with a world in confu- ! sion,' there are definite evidences lof the vitality and power of the Christian faith today. Glorious pages in the history of the Christian Church are being constantly written. Sometimes when we are prone to be discouraged by current events, it is well to remember that fact, for it may be that out of the present discord and confusion there may appear a revitalized church. The great days of the early church were those of persecution, when it cost something to be a Christian. When the church became accepted by the State and by conventional society, some vital | spark was lost. Religion Still Lives At this moment many of our feli low Christians are meeting the test of persecution. In Russia, despite the organized effort of extermination, true religion still lives. In Germany the only effective opposition to the ruthless program ; of totalitarian state has come from within the Christian Church, Roman Catholic and Protestant. In other nations of the world as well, Christian men and women have come to see the world as it is, j in contrast to the ideal set forth in the Gospel. Everywhere, and increasingly, voices are being raised in heroic assertion that the supreme loyalty of the Christian is to the will of God as revealed in Christ. It is well for us all to consider this question of primary loyalty, for in this rapidly moving world no one of us can tell when the acid test will come. Only a few years ago we should have taken for granted as axioms of modern civilization, freedom of conscience, liberty of action and of speech, a free j Church. All of these are being at- | tacked in some part of the world. In response, there has been given us the enheartening spectacle of resisting Christians. There are some worshippers of the state who see in this tendency grave danger. They would have the church subordinate to and a pale reflexion of the j state, e, mere echo of popular opinion. But such is net the function of the Gospel or of the church. Bishop
THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Alaska Pioneers Desire Privacy to Build Homes Missionary Gives Report on Trip to Anchorage, Homestead Site. Alaskan “homesteaders” from the United States wish that tourists would stop staring at them and let them go to work, says Charles Michael, Moravian missionary. Flying home for a year’s leave of absence from his station in Quinhagak, Mr. Michael talked with some of the new pioneers at their temporary headquarters in Anchorage. The principal settlement is to be about 35 miles north of Anchorage, but at present most of the families are living in tents or makeshift cabins. Since 1928, Mr. and Mrs. Michael have served in the mission field of the Lower Kauskowim Valley, an area of about 10,000 square miles. Except for a trader and the government teacher, they are the only white people in an Eskimo village of 200 inhabitants. The natives, Mr. Michael says, are timid and reserved toward white strangers, and even when well acquainted, are unwilling to bestow many confidences. Eskimos Mot Very Civilized “Eskimos are way back on the road of civilization,” he continued. “They show a great deal of intelligence up to a certain point, but it is useless to try to push them up to the standards of the white man.” The missionary’s trips into the interior are made with dog teams in the winter, and by boat in the three or four months of summer. Airplanes, however, are coming into use, especially among the miners, who “mush” to the gold fields in the modern manner. Primitive life is mitigated somewhat by a home operated electric light plant and an amateur telephone system to nearby settlements. The Michaels have a radio which brings them news flashes from Anchorage and occasional programs from West Coast stations. But they don't find a great source of amusement in the set, for when Japan stations are on the air, they can’t get anything else. Mr. Michael’s family has been connected with the local Moravian Church for manv years. He is the son of Mrs. Grace Michael, 1633 Hall-pl, with whom he and his wife are spending their vacation. Requests for Music Will Be Answered The Gaddis-Moser evangelistic party are to present a request musical program at 7:30 tonight in the Woodside Methodist Episcopal Church, to be followed by a sermon at 8Two services tomorrow are to conclude the series of meetings which began Dec. 6. Prof, Nakari to Talk Prof. Toyozo Nakari, of the department of Semitic languages, Butler University, will teach the Young People’s Class of Centenary Christian Church school tomorrow morning. Subject of his talk will be “Lessons From the Exile.”
Brent used to speak of the ambulance work of the church, meaning the alleviation of distress and of suffering; but then he would describe the pioneering task, the church moving ahead of contemporary thought and practice as a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. The Kingdom of God is the goal of the Christian. Jesus to him is the supreme Master. He must work until that day comes when Gods will is done on earth as it is in heaven. It was said of the first disciples that they would turn the world upside down. So the Christian must be always of that temper and mind. The task of the church looks beyond nations or governments, or political parties or economic programs. Her loyalty is to God in Christ, and such is the first loyalty of every Christian. Hope of World Is it a menace then to civilization or to nations that there are loyal Christians ready to suffer martyrdom rather than to be false to their 1 conception of the truth? It is the hope of the nation and of the world. Everywhere there are evidences of greed and of selfishness. Courage and character are most lamentably lacking. We respond to personal advantage. We are too easily swept off our feet by fear of consequences or by unwise popular clamor. We need vision, unselfishness, sacrifice, strength. Can these characteristics not be found again and again in those who look to Jesus as their Master? The world cartnot be molded by acquiescence. Conviction and devotion to principle alone can accomplish any result. So it is that we welcome the evidences of Christian character. There is, after all, real power in the church and in the Gospel, with which the world must come to terms. God give us more conscientious objectors—conscientious because devoted to the teaching and the life of the Christ, objectors to every course of action denying tbe fatherhood of God and the bro'.nerhood of man.
