1517 this brief parable told in a phari sees house strangely suggests the course of christian history for cen turies the jews looked forward to the coming of their messiah in due time the wjord was made flesh christ en tered upon his public ministry in oal llee judea and samaria he came with being driven the gospel has dean plan ted and indigenous churches will grow m recently after such a record of pro gress with over six hundred t people designated as christians there has come a strong opposition to the christian faith strangely this has arisen in countries that had long been nominally christian france had a strong anticlerical party russia fol lowing the teaching of karl marx de clared that religion was an opiate bur ned church buildings and proscribed christianity in germany the church was made an adjunct of the state rob bed of its freedom of thought and teaching as christians we deplore greatly this rejection of christianity but future years will doubtless prove that the nations rejecting christianity deprive themselves of the humanising influences of christian ideals they decrease personal liberty the right of labour to organize restrict the indivi dual liberty of citizens and compel the worship of a heartless state they rob their people of the comfort of worship the enlarging experience or self gov ernment the security of family life christ s heart yearns forau the nat ions even for the isles of the sea but values which he compared to an invl- to those who reject him he says stern- ation to a great banquet he brought gifts to men he told them of the love of god the father he showed them possibilities in character and conduct thatmade it a joy to be a human be ing he pictured a new order of so ciety and invited others to be his help ers in making it a present reality he bore witness to vital spiritual truths and gave his followers an experience of brotherhood he offered his personal friendship to all who would be his followers he told of a new way or life that would give abiding joy and satisfaction his attitude towards hu manity was that of a host who had prepared a great feast for his guests and said to them come for all things are now ready btejecttan u the surprising thing is that his in vltation was refused more frequently lhan it was accepted the jews were atlsftpd with thevr own religious prac tices and were too conservative to change the romans and greeks had a mythology which did not make very stem moral demands upon them peo ple were interested in business poll tics and religion too interested to become participants in a great new movement for the kingdom of god they were fertile in making excuses expert in producing alibis christ was driven out of his home synagogue in nazareth the crowds in jerusalem cried crucify him in the end he was arrested tortured and put to death he came to his own and his own received him not gentiles 21 the rejection of jesus by the jews however did not frustrate the move ment he started while he went first to the people of israel he also wel comed the greeks even the samari tans to a roman soldier he said that he had not found such faith even in israel paul caught the vision and to anttoch gentiles were received into the christian church a controversy arose that was settled in the council at jerusalem paul became a mission ary to the gentiles he went west ward winning more converts among the gentiles than the other apotles were winning among the jews tie story and the maps of pauls mission ary journeys indicate the extent of his work philip too won an ethiopian upon a desert road true many of the new converts were slaves not many mighty and many learned were cal led it was as though the master of the feast had said oo oat quickly in to the streets and lanes of the city ann bring in hither the poor and the mai med and the halt and the blind or to vary the metaphor the new wine of christianity broke the old botles of judaism i mlwtwm se christianity spread until the roman empire was officially won over to th christian faith throughout the mid die ages the church occupied a largo place following the reformation came the era of modern missions north america became a great chris tian continent missions in china ja pan india and africa have had ai influence greater than the numberof christians would normally warran more people have bean won to the christian faith in the past century than in any preceding century there has been a new energy and originality in missionary work in addition to preaching evangelism there is indus trial medical and educational evan gelism it is as though the lord of the banquet were saying go out into the highways and the hedges nnd compel them to come in that my house may be filled
