Christianity the church in Jerusalem held a position Sunday Rev. Hugh T. Stevenson. THE COUNCIL IN JERUSALEM. Acts, xv.1-35; Galatians, il.1-21. Golden text—For ye, brethren, were called for freedom; only use not your freedom for an occa- slon to the flesh, but through love be servants one to another. Ga- Iatians, v.13. Soul liberty obtained its Magna Charta in the council in Jerusalem, Christianity had reached a cross-roads in its history when Paul and Barnabas | returned to Antioch and reported the success that they obtained in their missionary work. The church was thrilled by their story and rejoiced in their victories. The news of their re- port reached Jerusalem and aroused the conservative members, who had opposed the reception of the gentiles because they considered the new faith to be a distinct Jewish sect. They zed the hand of God in the conversion of Cornelius, and could not Taise any ob- jection to Peter’s action in welcoming them. They took a different attitude when they learned of the large number of gentlles whom Paul and Barnabas had won for the Lord Jesus, for they sent a delegation to Antioch, who in- sisted that all gentiles should be cir- cumcised before they could be saved. Paul and Barnabas took a stand for soul liberty, insisting that the Gentiles should not be burdened with any re quirements of the Mosaic ritual as .l basis for thelr salvation or entrance ' into the Church of Christ. In an effort| tioch Church, a delegation was chosen ! by that body, who pr to Jerusa- lem to obtain an official decision. Reaching the Holy City, the two mis- slonaries reported the success of their activities among the heathen to the whole church. Immediately some of he conservative members saw c}enly‘ that Paul and Barnabas had disre- |garded the Mosalc requirements_thal the Jewish people had insisted should be observed for over 1,000 years. They objected strenuously. The differences were sharp and threatened the unity of the Jerusalem Church, ‘l’c xthe ““1?-5 uestion was postponed for a fecting. This ‘gave Paul and Barna- bas an opportunity to confer with the apostles concerning their missionary work_and the problem involved. Leaders Confer. Paul_tells us about the conference with the leaders, whom he calls the pillars of the church, that worked out the Magna Charta of soul liberty, which is the foundation of all forms of our cherished liberty. In his letter to the Galatians Paul gives us some in- side informatlon of that conference that ended the controversy, that threat- ened the spiritual freedom of the Geb- tiles, Shortly after his conversion Paul had obtained recognition from the | apostles that he was called of God to | be an apostle to the gentiles, so he did not hesitate figlcon'l;:"flllh thdeell& uj the grave problem leman pgglttlive action. He took up with James, Peter and John the issue that had been raised calling for the gentiles to be cir- cumcised. Although these leaders were | characterized by strong Jewish prej- | udice, they “took & strong stand, sus-| the position taken by Barnabas and Paul, holding ‘that the rite of cir- cumeision should mot be forced upon | gentile converts. Some of the Pharisees, who like Paul | had become followers of Christ, insisted that Titus, who was & fellow-messenger | from the Antioch Church and a gentile, should be circumcised. They saw_that their falth was in danger of being weakened, so they that all the | tions of their national r:ligion d be observed. Paul refused to , for he saw that if e yielded -tho -hole question would have to be fough! out again. If he had «conceded to thelr claims, the of the gospel, treedom | as a universal faith, would have been jeopirdized. In win- ning that battle secured spiritual » was freed from the shackles of a great faith in which it had been cradled. If | Paul had ccnceded the claims of the | “false brethren,” the religion of Jesus | would have become & Jewish sect and | never attained its position as a uni- | versal faith. | The Council’s Decision. | Having won James, who as pastor of | of great influence, and the Apostles Peter and John to their point of view, | for they had shaken hands upon it, | they were ready for final action by the | council, over which, according to Robin- | son, “James presided.” Free and full discussion took place. The leaders al- lowed the conservative members who ted the Judalzers to present their arguments, When everybody had spoken, Peter presented his view. He insisted that the matter had been set- tied when the Holy Spirit had guided him to Caesaria and revealed unto him | that God was no respecter of persons.. | At to Peter, “It was tempting | God to put a yoke on the gentiles that the Jews could not wear, The Jews had to believe just as the gentiles.” In taking hll‘gosith!n “for a salvation of grace for the Jews and the gentiles,” Peter had given a straight-out indorse- | ment of the position that Paul cham- | ploned. | James clinched the argument of Peter | by a speech that pointed out how, ac- cording to the Old Testament prophets, | the salvation of the gentiles was in | accordance with God’s plan. He quoted | the pi words of Amos to prove his statement. He proposed a common ground that “would not inflict any un- necessary snnoyance upon the gentiles | who were turning to God.” He suggest- ed that they should formulate their de- | cision in a letter that would point out to the gentile Christians that they should not eat any food that had been | offered to idols, live a clean life free | from fornication, abstain from eating any meat that had been killed by being strangled or with blood in their bodies. The suggestions of James were adopted unanimously. It was a victory for Paul | and Barnabss. It was a triumph for soul liberty. OCircumcision was ' not mentioned, but it was clearly not to be | required. It made the moral standards | of the Mosalc law & fundamental re- | quirement for the Christians in regu- | lating their dally life. It showed that | the liberals respected the views of the | conservatives. It was the Magna Charta of spiritual liberty for all Christians. A Weleome Decision. ‘When the messengers from Jerusa- lem, Judas and Silas, reached the An- tioch Church, they presented the letter which the council had approved. It probably had been written by James and approved by the leaders previously, FRARTLTTRLTTRLLERLEXFERLALLAARARAARVLERENESNNERN L W0 WMAL 1:30 Sunday (edarHill Py | the library. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1931 Famous Churches of the World School Lesson ot 4 during the conference that they held with Barnabas‘and Paul. The Antlocl: Church_“rejoiced at the exhortation that called for them, as gentiles who had accepted the gospel, to abstain from idolatry, fornication and things strangled and blood, which some hold refers to murder. They enjoyed the ad- dresses of the messengers, Who accom- panied Paul and Barnabas. Judas and Silas, who were prophets, approved the position taken by Paul and Barnabas. Paul reported that the troublemakers had acted without authority of the apostles or any action by the Jerusa- lem Church. The whole trouble within their ranks was healed, and they en- tered upon & new era of triumphant service for the Lord Jesus. Although the problem had been set- tled in conference and by the action of the council, Paul had occasion, so he tells us, to refer to the important decision made by the council at a later period, when Peter was & gueit in An- toch. Evidently the apostle sought to satisfy both the conservative and pro- gressive elements in reference to his social relations with the new converts. When his actions were called in ques- tion, - Peter evidently stopped having social ‘contacts with the Greeks in an effort to avoid any controversy in An- tioch. When Paul called l’llrlla ltl?l}:lm‘; to his agreement concerning spiritua freedom, Peter acknowledgéd the cor- rectness of Paul's position, and the dan- | ger of a clash between the two was| averted. Our lesson has pointed out m‘ us the value of Christians settling their differences and disputes in a spirit of love, seeking to find a common ground for action that will be free from com- | promising any principles and yet be of such character that all can approve and support for the glory of the Lord | and the development of His kingdom.

These plans were later changed, and on Jan- uary 12, 1777, Fras Thomas de la Pena and Jose Murguer founded the first of the three buildings to be known by this name. They dedicated it to St. Ol of Assisi, founder and first sister su- |da; perior of the Franciscanenuns, 'The floods came in 1778 and 1779 and it was found necessary to remove the building to the “Valley of Oaks,” two blocks from the site of the present structure. The cornerstone of this new | the old mission | church was laid November 9, 1781, and | three years later the completed build- ing was dedicated by Fra Junipero Serre. This building was razed by the earthquake of 1818. ‘Then came the third church. This was dedicated on August 12, 1822, the eve of St. Clara. Thirteen years later the mission was secularized.
