MEMORY SELECTION: "Have
we not all one father? Hath
mot one God created us?”—Mai
jschi 2:19.
Wesson Text: Isaiah 65:17-25; Acts j
17:24-28.
Narrow nationalism was the
curse of the world in the days of
Isaiah - and of Jesus and of Paul,
even as it is still today. Every
.nation was convinced that it was
hCbe finest nation, the noblest in
the world. The Jews believed
themselves to be the “Chosen Peo
ple” of God, which they were, but
their actions did not match their
contention. Isaiah criticized them
Tor this and, certainly, Jesus dis
liked their attitude in this re
spect.
Isolated, bitter, armed to the
teeth, pfoud, cruel and narrow
visioned was the world into which
Isaiah, Jesus and Paul were born.
They were all jeered at, perse
cuted and even slain by those who
■denied all brotherhood with those
of ether nation*. Only recently,
and then only in part, have some
rations cast off their fatal isola
tionist nationalism to move out
on equal footing among; the the
nations of the world.
Isaiah looked forward to the
day when brotherhood should
reign over all the world. He
Yioped the time would come when
the fierce passions of hate and
destruction would be subdued by
Yhe power and grace of God.
When the day arrives, there will
"he joy, a sense of security (so
absent today) and peace will per
suade the earth. The human life
span will be increased because
«of these improved conditions and
♦Shore shall be no more war, and
wveeping and weariness. Isaiah
also prophesied that there should
sibn> be more intimate fellowship
between God and man.
How shall this come about?
'Scholars do not agreee. Some
wxpect it at the second comin* of
dhrist, while others believe that
A will come about through the
process of love, enlightment and
regeneration as a result of the
preaching and practice of the gos
pel of Jesus Christ, However it
comes about, Christian responsi
bility is the same. Each Chris
tian should do all in his, or her,
■power to bring about a world of
peaae, plenty, and the reign of
God's power in the lives of men.
Paul’s message has much mean
ing for our day. He presents
God as ruler and owner of the

universe, who has been working
through nations and their peoples
to accomplash His will. Paul de
clares, “He has made of one blood
til! nations of men for to dwell
on all the face of the earth.” This
concept of "one blood” has not
been generally accepted "Tw' the
people of the world. ---
It is said that the Koreans
have a humorous legend Al
though it is legendary, it has a
sharp point to puncture the the
ory of race supremacy, particu
larly our white pride: It goes
something like this:
When the Creator first made
man, he mixed just the proper
ingredients, poured it into a mold,
tnd put the ingredients into the
oven to bake. Upon the first trial
he left man in tfcf btk&
When he took him out, he was
too black. But God didn’t throw
him away. He used him to start
the Negro race.
Then the Creator mixed another
batch of material and put it in
the oven. This time he took it
out too soon. He was disap
pointed that it was not dark
enough, but he didn’t throw it
away. He used It* to '“stfcrt * the
white race.
But the third time-the >£aeathr
was entirely successful. He took
man out of the oven at exactly
the proper moment. At last he
hhd succeeded in making a man
just the right color—yellow.
From a Korean’s standpoint,
this is a good story, but each
race is guilty of the same racial
“pride.” and has its own way of
saying, “We are superior.” While
most of us are big enough to
laugh at these absurb prejudices
and unfounded assumptions, do
our actions towards others dis
pell their feeling that we think
we are superior? Let us remem
ber that wherever the gospel of
Jesus Christ is truly preached and
Practiced, it inevitably leads in
the direction of true Christian
brotherhood.

are securing valuable battle expe
riences in Korea. The longer the
minor war continues, the greater
the number of experienced fight
ers we will have for the major
conflict.
The reader should not lose sight
of the primary facts in connection
with the Korean venture. The
fighting was precipitated when the
North Koreans attempted, against
the decisions of the United Na
tions to invade South Korea and
consolidate all of Korea under a
Communist regime. The United
Nations employed force to stop
this aggressive enterprise and, up
to date, they have been eminently
successful in thwarting Commun
ist ambitions. This is a great
gain for us. It has been accom
panied by the infliction of terrific
losses upon the Communist fight
ing forces,
