The relics of what was believed to have been an Englishman who lived 500,000 years ago were found in a gravel pit in the Hamlet of Piltdown. The first bone of the skull was given to a lawyer in} Piltdown, Charles Dawson, who happened to be an ama-; teur geologist. The skull had been crushed by workmen in the gravel pit, who thought the skull to be a petrified cocoanut. Soon after the discovery, Sir Arthur Smith Woodward, now deceased, pronounced the bones to be! icipati @ part of an ancient human skull.

Peter was a Jew of the strictest sort and while he subscribed to the Gospel of Jesus as he understood it during the three years he travel- ed with the Master, he just couldn't comprehend that some folk could {be included in the plan of the King- dom of heaven. It took a dream for this impetuous disciple to un- derstand that there is under God, but one human race. It can be seen that in the days of the early church racial and re ligious animosities were at fever heat. The disciples had this pro- blem to face and solve. It was in favor of the Union, It was point- ed out that in Presbyteriau govern- ment, as in this particular plan of union, majority opinion not enough to determine the outcome. 68 of the 87 Presbyteries must vote favorably after the action of the General Assembly.

It is said that if one is allergic to eggs, and after the one so afflicted is told that there were eggs in a cake he had eaten and enjoyed, even though there were no eggs in the cake, he will be. come deathly sick. It took a special revelation to convince Peter that what God has cleansed, it is clean and not common. About the same time a Gentile by the name of Cornelius, a man who prayed to God and was de vout, had a vision. This Roman centurion sent for Peter and the big fisherman walked some thirty miles just to talk to a Gentile Peter wouldn't have believed that he would do such a thing weeks earlier. When Peter arrived it is said that Cornelius worshipped Peter. This simply means that he did obeisance to him, that of bow ing. Peter rejects the gesture and says that he is just a man and in so saying places himself on the same level with the Gentile, This meeting is rather peculiar. It is sort of a miracle. Here are two men, who q@dinarily would have hated each other—a Jew and a Roman Centurion, They are no longer conqueror and conquered— they are brothers in a new spiritual union through Christ.

Because of this coa- fusion and uncertainty fear has taken the place of tranquillity in the heart ot man and “he runs to and fro” not knowing where to turn. Since these questions, such sas — Are Nations always destined to make war? Can Human Nature Change? Can Peace be maintain- ed? are relative. there is a basic answer and this answer lies in the spiritual progress of the human race For generation upon generation, despite our advancement nations have gone forth to war to settle their differences. The cause being of an economic nature is based on ignorance and lack of love for our fellow man, it has been proven, no matter how far the material world advances it cannot establish the happiness of mankind, only when material and spiritual civilization are linked together will happiness be assured. We note for example, the material progress of man the last few decades, in the increase of schools of dearning, hospitals, philanthropic institutions and tem- ples of philosophy, but hand in hand with this advancement we find the production of the means and weapons for human destruc- tion has also increased. All this is the outcome of material civili- zation, consequently it would seem that material advancement furth- ers the good purposes of life and at the same time it serves evil ends. As the two wings of a bird insure the perfect balance for its flight, likewise, when material and spiritual civilization are united in ‘the effort of establishing a true balance toward the advancement of man then Universal Peace will be attained. Baha'is all over the world find hope and comfort in the following talk by Abdu'l-Baha, son of Baha'u'llah, Founder of the Ba- ha’i World Faith, while he was ‘in this country in 1912, “A few, unaware of the power human endeavor, consider this matter (universal peace) as high- ly impracticable, nay even beyond able or saved.
