Going to church is a habit that, at the | worst, can’t do you any harm. A clear conscience gives a feéling of security, more than the possession of great wealth, Separation of church and state is a cardinal American principle that some church people ought to respect. Science has furnished man with enough rope to measure the stars, order the elements about him—and hang him- self as well. Colonel Lindbergh has returned to the United States and the incident of the be- stowal of the iron cross by Hitler is for- gotten. Hero worshipers have short memories, and perhaps it’s better so. Not a voice favored the slots exeept the fellow who irtroduced the measure, and wasn’t it squelched, almost with a vengeance. If it didn’t ‘take any money it took nerve to father such an unfavor- ‘able bill. It must be aggravating to Mussolini’s agents who want to listen in on the Pope’s telephonic conversations with the cardi- nals of the Roman Catholic hierarchy to find they are conversing in Latin. Unless this is stopped, Il Duce may give an order that all telephone conversations in future must be in a living language and not a dead one. ‘ peace By cutting off $50,000,000 from WPA relief bill, Congress has declared for economy in relief administration, and not economy in relief. As The Citizen has 80 often stated that amount and more can be saved if matingerers, chiselers and aliens are dropped from the list. Elimination of politics would also eliminate other un- neeessary expenditures. Westbrook Pegler, the internationally known columnist, and W. O. Maxwell, city editor of the Chicago Tribune, “world’s greatest newspaper”, paid a delightful and interesting visit to The Citizen a few days ago. Ona month’s vacation, they stated having enjoyed the Key West :por- tion immensely—wisely and and well. f Mr. Pegler mentions this city favorably in his column—he couldn’t do otherwise— we'll be much obliged. but between the members of these sects | and the followers of Christianity the gap | is wider. If we limit our observation to | members of the Christian faith, we find | the same diversion of views. Obviously, | there is no uniform understanding as to re- . ligion throughout the world, and between t Sempaton bined vip.

In the first place, should | these principles be those of Japan, those of China or those of the Christian nations? If we determine that Christian principles should be applied in the Far Eastern sit- | uation, we are confronted with a new problem. Here we have two nations, each en- | titled to equal rights, involved ina bloody | war, undoubtedly provoked by the aggres- | sion of Japan. Do Christian principles re- | quire that the people of the United States adopt the same attitude toward the Jap-— anese as to the Chinese? if not to what | extent is there an obligation, resting upon | Christians, to help the stricken ‘Chinese? | Let us consider the case of Germany. jof ‘Christ, Scientist, throughout|Topice: “What Should A Church| Here we have a people, fundamentally | great, being progressively led along paths | of aggression that eventually thay involve | the world in a great war.

Sunday School Lesson PAUL WINS RECOGNITION FOR GENTILE CHRISTIANS \dnternational Sunday School Les- sen for April 23, 1939 ‘Golden Text: “A man is not justified by the works of the law. but through feith in Jesus Christ”. Gelatiens 2:16. Lesson Text: Acts 15:1-35; Gala- tians 2:1-10 Qur recent lessons have center- ed in the early Christian activity which sprang up in the City of Antioch. Two weeks ago we saw how the first organized mission- |ary party was sent out and the work done in Cyprus and Asia Minor. Shortly after the return of Paul and Barnabas from their tour a question of ceremony arose |to disturb the church at Antioch. We have seen earlier how the , gospel was deliberately carried to the Gentiles in Antioch and then by missionaries to Gentiles in other regions. When the news of the accession of many Gentiles into the church reached Jeru- jsalem the.. conservative group Jews, who had followed the law \could not bring themselves to ac- }eept Gentiles into Christianity |unless they, too, came into the |church through the ancient Jew- ish avenue of circumcision, and other ritualistic requirements. From Jerusalem then to Anti- cation. These were particularly necessary to make ‘social inter- ;course with Jewish Christians possible and friendly. The verdict of the Council was | forwarded to the church at Anti- och in a written communication carried by Judas and Silas. The latter remained in Antioch and subsequently accompanieé Paul on his second missionary tour. The decision of the council made no ritualistic observance necessary for salvation. It was a charter of liberty for the Chris- tian conscience, although in sub- sequent centuries Christianity forgot the principles declared. In subsequent ages, with one predominant church “the communion of saints was a chaingang at lock-step with one jong whip cracking down the line to prevent any man’s deviating”. At length, under the leadership of outstanding exponents of free- dom, such as Lather, Calvin, Knox, Wesley and others, the principle of freedom in Christan- organized and in a mean spirit, for, as the early church history indicates. +4, there can be divergent opinions _ among men who upon the essen- tial issues of faith im Jesus, are united and agreed. As James de- clared, both Jew and Gentile _| Were to be saved “through Ge {sion was involved and led to con- fusion and misgiving of many. | Therefore, the church at Antioch decided to send a delegation to | Jerusalem, where the recognized leaders of the faith resided, and f : t ape iit H lita i vat th i TEU Fe te Ley? grace of the Lord Jesus”.
