E. GILROY, D.D.

Editor of Advance

Mount, sharing in the experience of

the transfiguration, to Peter warming his hands beside the fire in the high priest's house where Jesus had been taken after his arrest, and denying vehemently ‘When he was a disciple of Jesus or that he knew

Jesus understood him far better than he understood

himself. Peter's strength and weakness when He had said the memorable words, “Simon, Simon, Satan hath asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat.” Peter was indeed being sifted, but it was the chaff rather than the wheat that was most in evidence. But Jesus had prayed for Peter, and the denial was not the end. The real Peter was the wheat that was left after the chaff had been blown away. It is strange that Peter, having been warned of his defection, should not have been also safeguarded against such a lapse. Probably it was Peter's own self-con-

|fidence that was his undoing. He

was so sure that even if all the other disciples denied Jesus, he would prove steadfast that this led to his undoing in the hour of actual trial. » o 8

T is not strange that Peter should have denied Jesus three times.

When one has done the first act of wrong or weakness, it is easy to do the second and the third. But after the third denial, when the cock

crew, Peter remembered the words of Jesus. Then it was that he came to himself and that the prayer of Jesus for him became efficacious, for he went out and wept bitterly in genuine and sincere repentance. Here is a thoroughly human story. Many of the bravest and best of men are like Peter, with their courage and their earnestness of purpose counter-balanced by deep temptations and real weaknesses, and with the capacity of falling just as they have the capacity for rising far above the level of men of lesser intensity and ability. The important thing to remember is that man’s destiny is never determined by his sins, but only by the lack of will and the lack of self-recovery by which he allows his sins and missteps to overcome him.

» » ” OR is it a matter only of selfwill and self-discipline. It is the Peters—if they only knew it— who need the keeping power of God's grace. It is because a man’s will is so strong that he is liable to

put trust in himself, where he ought to be putting his trust in God and seeking the strength of the divine through prayer and communion, that he finds himself too late overcome by evil, or conquered by lack of watchfulness. It was not to the weak but to the strong that Jesus said, “Watch and pray lest ye enter into temptation.”

Dr. Yocum Plans Tour

Group to Describe Work of Madras Parley.

Dr, Cyrus W. Yocum of Indianapolis, United Christian Missionary Society executive secretary, is to tour Canada and the United States wit ha team reporting the recent World Missionary Council at Msadras, India. Dr. and Mrs. Yocum and Dr. George W. Buckner, World Call ed-

itor, were at the conference from Indianapolis. The team will visit Indianapolis March 19 and 20, it was announced, In a letter written to Mrs. Buckner while the conference was still in session received ‘this week Dr. Bucner mentions In particular, among the team members expected to come here, Dr. R. B. Mourikam of Madras, Federation of Evangelical Lutheran Churches in India, secretary; Dr. Hachiro Yuasa of Kyoto, Japan, Doshisha University president, and Miss Minnie Soga of South Africa.

American Woman Included

In addition to these and Dr. Yocum, the speakers will also include Miss Ruth Seabury, American Board of Commissioners of Foreign Missions home department secrery In the same paragraph in which he complained of the heat and mosquitoes, Dr, Buckner spoke of a Christmas party given for American delegates by the American consul and his wife. The consul is also Madras Y. M. C. A. physical director. Many religious writers predict that the visiting speakers will have an interesting story to tell of this world conference where delegates of the chuches in Christian lands met with delegates of the mission churches in the heart of the “foreign field” for the first time on an equal basis as to numbers and status. Out of it, some are of the opinion a new missionary approach and technique will grow.

By EMMA RIVERS MILNER The admission of the Syrian Antiochian Orthodox Church of Northi America into the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America: is a history-making religious event largely attributed to A. G. Corey, an; r

Inginapelis businessman.’

The Syrian communion is the first Greek Catholic Church to join thet | 3 Federal Council. Thus the council can no longer be called afi entirely: Protestant body and another milestone has been passed on the way hi.

the much-talked-of Christian unity.®

Mr. Corey first proposed the step at his church’s 1926 convention. Mr. Corey organized the Knights of St. George, a men’s religious club, in 1925 and that club and he sponsored the building of the St. George Syrian Orthodox Church here a year later. When he could get no action as a result of his 1926 proposal to the Syrian Orthodox convention, Mr. Corey did not lose heart but continued to promote his idea. The Most Rev. Victor Abu-Assaley, for-

‘mer archbishop of New York and

North America showed interest when Mr. Corey talked with him about

joining the council but died without|

applying for membership. The present archbishop, the Mo it Rev. Antony Bashir, attended world conferences at ‘Edinburgh and Oxford in 1937 as Syrian Orthodox representative. He was cordially welcomed and invited by various Americans to bring his church into the Federal Council. Last May, he came to Indianapolis and Mr. Corey took the opportunity to talk about his cherished ambition for the church. | As a result the Syrian Orthodox Church applied for membership and Archbishop Bashir was seated as an official Federal Council member at the biennial meeting recently in Buffalo. The current Federal Council Bulletin points out that the original patriarchal seat of the Syrian Church was Antioch, “where Christ's Disciples were first called Christians.”, Archbishop Bashir

is a graduate of the American Uni- |

versity at Beirut and was former Arabic professor there. While Mr. Corey was working to bring his church into the Federal Council he succeeded in enrolling the local congregation in the Indianapolis Church Federation several years ago. The Syrian Church is the only Catholic communion included in the local federation. Mr. Corey was born of a family of priests about 15 miles from Damascus and came to Indiana when he was 8 years old.

Every Episcopal church in the city will celebrate the Holy Communion on the morning of Feb. 8, prior to the cbnsecration service of the Rev. Richard A. Kirchhoffer as bishop coadjutor of the Diocese of Indianapolis. The service will take place at 10:30 at St. Paul's Church, Reservations are being made for tickets to the consecration services which will be followed by a luncheon at the Columbia Club,

To Build Addition

Work is to begin immediately on an addition te the auditorium of the West Side. Church of the Nazarene. ‘The church has outgrown its quarters which were expanded in 1936 to meet the needs of the rapidly growing church school. The church, which was organized about 21 years ago with 60 charter members, now has 400 members and a school attendance ‘of almost 500. The new extension will accommodate a Sunday school of 1000. The Rev. Everett Atkinson, pastor, says.

Presbyterian Youth

To Be Honored Jan. 29 .

} Young people in more than 2000 Presbyterian congregations here and throughout the country are to have their day Sunday, Jan. 29, celebrating in a variety of services. Young People’s Day will have special significance this year because of the nationwide drive on behalf of 105 Presbyterian colleges, which include Hanover and Wabash, and the denomination’s foundations in universities such as those at Purdue and Indiana. In some of the Indianapolis churches the young people 17 to 23 years of age will conduct worship

services. In others they will par-|

ticipate in the observance of a candlelight communion or help to plan a radio program, The city’s Presbyterian pastors have received copies of a suggested outline for a worship service which gives all present the opportunity to take part since it is composed largely of congregational responses and prayers. It has for its theme, “His Kingdom Comes,” and includes’ a hymn translated from the Scandinavian set to the tune of an old Danish folk song.

Dean Prederick D. Kershner of the Butler University College of Religion has made the following comment on the new book, “The Church Through the.

It may be considered as the exposition of a certain theory of the nature of the church, this theory being illustrated by the course of events which is presented as substantiating it.
