Baptist Church. Miss Ruth Seabury is the only team member whose work is in this country. She was in Indianapolis in 1936 as a National Preaching Mission speaker. According to the Rev. Ellis W. Hay, First Congregational Church pastor, in whose pulpit she will speak next Sunday morning, she has frequently gone into the interior or foreign mission lands and, before the Madras meeting, visited a number of Congregational mission stations in the Near East and India. A frequent speaker at summer conferences in England and Scotland, she is the author of “Dinabunidhu,” a book on India, and various mission study texts. Her official ttile is educational secretary of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions of the Congregational Church.

Represents Missionary Family

The only other woman on the tearn, Miss Minnie Soga of South Africa, is a Lovedale Missionary Institute graduate. Her family is well known to missionary students because one of her kinsmen was associated with Dr. James Stewart, called “Stewart of Lovedale,” in founding the institute. Another member of the Soga family wrote the standard book on the Xosa, or Bantu, people of Eastern Cape Colony, describing their witchcraft belief and their ancestor worship.

Book Changed On Outlook

Bishop J. Waskom Pickett of Bombay, India, is the author of a study of the mass movement toward Christianity among low-caste and outcast Hindus. The study was made in conjunction with the Institute of Religious and Social Research, New York, and is said to have modified the missionary outlook toward Hinduism as well as aiding the Government of India in its dealings with those classes of people. He is also the author “Christ’s Way to India’s Heart” and collaborated with Dr. Donald McGavran of

Wrote Study Booklet

Dr. Rajah Bhushanam Manikam, a native of India, is Evangelical and Lutheran Indian Church Federation secretary. Although he received most of his education in Indiana, he was awarded his doctorate by Columbia, University, New York. He is editor’ of the journal for India’s Lutheran churches and prepared a study booklet for the Madras meeting. Mrs. Manikam, educated at the University of Pennsylvania, will accompany him here.

, Heads Influential University

Dr. Hachiro Yuasa, president, fof Doshisha University, described as the largest and most influential Christian college in Japan, is a Christian despite his disillusionment with American Chrstianty, according to his biographer. Dr. Yuasa’s parents and grandparents were Christians and he grew up with the idea that he would come to America “where Christianity was practiced on a large scale.” He was deeply disappointed by his experiences, in American industry and his isolation. as a college student, but clung to his Christianity. His doctorate was granted him by the Uni- |p versity of Illinois. Dr. Yuasa’s statement of personal Christian faith at the Madras meeting might be taken as a summing up of the spirit of good will and brotherhood among the so-called “younger” churches of the mission field and the ‘*‘older” churches of the Western world. He writes: “No human relationship is more precious than genuine fellowship and no fellowship is more inspiring than that which is based on com-

mon faith and common ideals.”

The ruler in Palestine, who held his office and power by the faver of Rome, had the problem of currying favor at the same time with the Jewish leaders who were hostile to Roman domination. It was under circumstances like these that Pilate was willing to condemn Jesus to death, not because he wished to or because he was convinced of any guilt, but because he did not wish to displease those whose favor and support he Sought, ” 2 MONG the early martyrs was James, the brother of John; and when Herod Agrippa, grandson ‘of Herod the Great, saw that the death of James was pleasing to certain Jews, he threw Peter into prison. It is under these circumstances that our lesson opens. Herod was about to bring Peter forth, evidently with the intention of according him the same fate as James—but that very night as Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with. chains and behind the closely guarded doors of the prison, an angel came and stood by him aroused Peter and, as his chains fell off, led him from the prison. They passed the first and second guards, and came to the iron gate leading into the city which opened to them of its own accord. Then the angel left Peter. 2 8 8 E was somewhat dazed from his experience but, coming to himself, he realized the miraculous|

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Text: Acts 12:5-17

By WILLIAM E. GILROY Editor of Advance

HE same influences and forces that sent Jesus to the Cross were soon menifest in the persecution of His disciples in the early days of the church. As in our own day much of intolerence and persecution is associated with the personal ambition of individuals, or the promotion of some partisan interest, by appealing to popular prejudices and bigotries, so, in the ancient day, religious persecution was frequently found associated with such aims and purposes,

mediately sought the house of Mary, the mother of Mark who afterward was for a time the companion of Paul, and who was the author of our second Gospel. Here he found the disciples gathered together in prayer. When the little maid, Rhoda, came in answer to Peter's knock at the door, she was so amazed and so full of joy that in her excitement she for- - |got to let him in, but ran telling the company that Peter stood at the

‘door.

The whole experience was as amazing to the company as it is te us. Just what happened when Peter's absence was discovered does not appear, but Peter went on his way and probably was in hiding, undoubtedly carrying on his ministry even in the midst of danger. 2 8 8

Tis a miraculous story, involving all the questionings and problems that miraculous stories emphasize, As I_-have repeatediy ,| pointed out, however, miracles would be no miracles if they could be explained. Their interest for us today is in spiritual suggestiveness and teaching that has little to do with any critical question involved. The real and essential fact is that God does encompass his saints with “songs of deliverance,” whether it be in strange and miraculous ways, or in the ordinary and understood processes of life.
