THE WORLD'S MOST WIDELY USED DEVOTIONAL CUIDE Thoughts from the Epistle of James Friday, November 10 "Ye ought to say. If the Lord will, we shall live and do this, or that." (James 4:15.) Read Luke 12:1321. There an old. true saying: "Man pVoposes but God disposes!" Too often mans plans to do this or that without regard for God's will. Such plans are without proper re gard for the effects on family or friends, church or community. Suc cess of a sort may follow his sel fish olans. But the results are dis jst* u.4, to his spiritual health. In .L'sus' parable about "bigger barns." the man consulted only his own desires He "communed with himself. ' He did not seek to know what God would have him do with his surplus wheat. 1I<> did not consider the implication of "big ger and better" either for himself or for others. He counted on a future ease. Because it was un shared with God or ma ), he lost his life. God wills our destiny. In every thing we ought to say: "If the Lord will, we .shall live, and do thus, or that." This day, dear <?od and Father I we surrender our wills to Thine. ] We pray that Thy Holy Spirit may guide, strengthen, and in struct us in everything that we say and do. Thus may glory come to Thee through us and Thy wisdom be advanced in the corner where we are. In the Master's name. Amen. PRAYER THOUGHT FOR THE DAY "When God guides, God provides." F. T.

None but Jews were ex pected to join and James and Peter and the other Christians did not think for a minute that the new organization founded on the life of Jesus could be anything but a Jewish church. To be a Christ ian you must first be a Jew. They were God's chosen people and Jesus was one of them and the Messiah according to prophesy. The Jetfs would not even eat with the Gentiles and felt they had no obligation to associate with them under any circumstances. Not eating with the Gentiles was prob ably a sanitary restriction, at that, for the Jews were very careful what they ate and still are for that matter. I am describing the con ditions of 2,000 years ago. When Paul was rampaging about Jerusalem and arresting the Christ ians in groups, with the full force of the Sanhedrin behind him, the Christians began to scat ter. Philip went to Samaria. 1 wish we had a record of where the other disciples worked tor 1 am certain that every one was an cvengelist and that when they had to leave Jerusalem in fear of their lives they carried Christianity with them. Peter went to Joppa and the Lord worked what appeared to be a miracle to teach him and through him the other Christians that the Gentiles had souls and that Christ ianity was a universal religion and for every race and color and creed, not just for the Jews. A Roman commander named Cornelius was fundamentally a good man, but he was a Gentile. The Lord sent a vision to Cornelius at Caesarea and to Peter at Joppa. In his vision Peter was taught that what the Lord had cleansed he must not consider unclean. Cornelius, after his vision, and Peter, following his own vision went to the House of Cornelius in Caesarea and preached to the group of Gentiles gathered there. Peter was very much astonished and perhaps, not well pleased, when he found unmistakable evi dence that the Holy Spirit had come to the Gentiles. But remem bering his vision he baptized the whole group and admitted them to the Christian church. Word of this event went quickly to Jerusalem and the Christians there, James was the Moderator, held a meeting and had Peter on the carpet and demanded to know just why he admitted Gentiles in to the new church. This storf aS told in the Acts is the text for the study this week. Peter told the group just what happened to him at Joppa and what he had done and how the Holy Spirit, just as it had appeared at Pentecost, had been very evident and said he understood now that God was no respector of persons and that if God sent the Holy Spirit to Gen WE ARE HAPPY TO EXTEND THIS INVITATION TO THE PUBLIC To Attend the informal OPENING of HAMILTON FURNITURE CO. 505 LIVE OAK ST. - NEAR SCHOOL BEAUFORT, N.

SHOWING NEWEST IN MODERN FURNITURE AND APPLIANCES DUO-THERM HEATERS ESTATE GAS RANGES CROSLEY APPLIANCES # tiles it was very evident that Christianity was for everybody, even the despised Gentiles. The Assembly cleared Peter, but they were not convihcd and it was a long time before the Christian Church became the universal or Catholic Church, as we profess when we repeat the Apostle's Creed in our churches today. It was afterward that Paul be came converted and the same question arose at Antioch. The Jerusalem Assembly sent a dele gation to Antioch and haled Paul and Barnabas before them. James called the Brother of the Lord, was Bishop and head of the church. Paul and Barnabas give such a good account of their work in | Antioch that Paul was named the Apostle to the Gentiles and thus the Christian Church became a uni versal church. But it was quite a fight. All the Jews who made up the Jerusalem congregation never were convinced and some of them bitterly opposed the Gentile move i ment, so bitterly that much of Paul's difficulties in evangelizing the Greeks came from their inter fence. I do not think James was convinced that the Gentiles could possibly be Christians unless they had first become Jews and were circumcised. Jame s letters, which are a part of the New Testament I think, bear out this conclusion. He lived and died a strict Jew. This come j right down to our present day association in our churches. In the Lord's Prayer we are told that we are forgiven as and if we forgive others. It is a two way proposition. That would seem to mean that we must love and associate with every Christian anywhere on earth. Last Sunday was a wide lesson in this. It was world communion day and the cormnunion service among Christians rang around the world emphasizing what Jesus taught, the universality of Christianity. To me this a beautiful thing and I wonder how the Christians in Ko rea felt about it. The Koreans, one people, one great Christian church. Is there anybody in your church you don't like and do not want to associate with? Some people just make your back hair rise. You' don't like them and never can. Perhaps they do not like you either. This may vitalize the problem in your case and take the measure of your own Christianity.

(11) And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me. (12) And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me and we entered into the man's house: (13) An he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him. Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter; (14) Who shall tell the words whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved. (15) And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning. (16) Then re membering the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water: but- ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. (17) Forasmuch then as God gave them the life gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was 1 that I could withstand God? (18) When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying. Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life. (1) If there be there fore any consolation in Christ, if an y comfort of lov$, if any fellow ship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies. (2) Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, hav ing the same love being of one ac cord, of one mind. (3) Let noth ing be done through strife or vain glory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than them selves. (4) Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. (5) Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. The Rev. A. C.
