Rotary Clubs, . although this is
not tine today. ' '
Rotary's four-way test, the
spirit of serving better','; and im
proving understanding local,
national and international -; is
the secret of Rotary's success. It
is hard to predict where this
service organization will go from
heve, but if the last 55 years is
any guide, Rotary International
will become an even, greater
force in this country and in the
world in coming years. ,

FRIDAY, MARCH 11. 1960.
55 Years Of Rotary I
A fifty-fifth anniversary is
about to be" observed by a ma-
International founded in 1905
by Paul P. Harris, a native of
Wisconsin, but a resident of
Chicago when he founded Ro-
tary, this service club has grown
to toe : an international giant;
, among service clubs, with morei
than 8,000 clubs in 89 countries1
', today. ' " ' .
.;, The name "Rotary" originally j
was intended to denote the fact
'that groups of businessmen
meeting i together ... would rotat? :
the meetings at the place of
' business of each member. How-j
ever, as-the organization grew,)
this custom has been changed,
and Rotary Clubs usually now'
meet in a permanent place each
' week.
The Rotary organization in
tiiis country and others has de
. veloped , along two theoretical
' and idealistic goals. (1) There
. was strong sentiment for a strict
limitation or ban against club
projects! (2) There was much
interest and support for the idea
that chibs should undertake
projects to improve their com
munities. This t Conflict in thinking has
survived to the present day, al
though apparently club pro
jects are on the Increase. We

Lesson Text: Acts 24.26
The question which we want
to face in today's lesson is:
What opportunities and obliga
tions does the church have . to
influence the conscience of th
state? "
No one likes to be hauled into
court. This was an ever-recur-
rnfi theme in the Book of Acts.)
?eter made it several times, and
so did Paul. This did not catch
IheYn completely by surprise, for
I hey had been forewarned by
Jesus: "... and you will be
brought before kings -and gov
ernors for my name's sake. This
be a time for you to bear
testimony." (Luke 21-12-13).
In today's lesson we find Paul
m trial ana ctetenaing nimseu
before the representatives of
Caesar. There is no suggestion
that Paul enjoyed the experi
ence; but when it was forced
upon him, he-did not flinch. In
truth, it Kovidrd 'him end t!v
early church an opportunity to
instruct the civil rulers concerti
ng ithe Christian faith and the
Christian church on the many
occasions s::ch appearances were
forced unon him.
Paul in Komans 13 suggests
that anything , that the secular
rulers do is good. Yet Reve
lation 13 goes to the other ex
treme. There the Roman gov
ernment is. described as the
Beast, the Anti-Christ, the ene
my of the church, . it is some
where between these two ex
treme positions that Christians
find themselves today. All civil
authorities government, courts,
police are essential and neces
sary. Civil authorities again ana
rifnin must makp difficult de
cisions. By necessity they have'i
conflicting groups. This, in it
self, is not an easy thing to do.
They need sympathy and under
standing.
There is a Christian approach
or perspective, however, in ev-
lery situation. As Christians it
is our duty to see that the na
tion is under God. It is the
esponsibilily of the Christian
church to be the "watchman"
and to warn civil authorities
when they go too far.
The Christian perspective not
only sees the state as dependent
on God. but also that God is
dependent and relies on Chris
tian men and women to lift the
motives and goals of state ac
tion. This thought, however,
leads us to the questions of mo
tives and intentions. The mo
tive of the Christian should be
his unique and unselfish contri
bution. It is the love of Christ
that reaches out to both rthe
friend and the foe, the rich and
the poor, the healthy and the
sick, the strong and the weak
Where there is such spontane
ous love, there is a new le-
ment in society and it is this
very element that unifies and
purifies. :
There is the perspective of
humility. There is always the
possibility that we might be
wrong, no matter how noble we
think our programs and prin
ciples are. We , all need to keep
a healthy skepticism about our
selves, the church, and the na
tion as a whole. It is so dan
eerouslv easy for us to deceive
ourselves Into thinking that we
are standing on principle when
in reality the deeper explana
tion would lead to hidden pre-
nidices or selfish aspirations.,,
This has Darticu ar significance
as we consider our, national poli
cies. -We, should- all be, patri
otic; we must accept our! civil
responsibilities. One of , these
policies and responsibilities is to
defend the nation if it Ui im
periled. However, we must nev-
er lose our perspective and as
sume that our nation can never
be wrong. We, as a nation, are
simply human heings, and
where : human beings are con
cerned, there 4s wide scope for
prror.
Abraham Lincoln is reported
to have prayed not. that the Lord
was on. his side, but rather that
he would be on the Lora s siae.
The difference is a matter of
perspective, but . it is such : a
great difference! (j r
Some ' (take the view that
.'Christians should never sroeak

! It's a good idea to have a check up every
soi often. -And the idea;ought to be extended
to 'our spiritual as well as our physical health.1
For instance, how much are we thinking
about the truths our churches teach us? Do
we understand God . . . His love for men . . ..
the sacrifice of Christ for our sins . vi the way
of Christian living?
And' how. much are we doing for, God and
our own souls? Are we worshipping every Sun-,
day . . .'rearing our children in the Faith-. .
serving ithe Church and fellowmen according;
to our talents and physical strength? .
And how much are we giving for God to
use? Do we promise Him a fair proportion of
our income . . . do we set it aside regularly
'" as a sum that belongs to God and to those who
need our -help ... do we have the courage .
and faith'to strengthen our Church by more
generous support?
