spell of pentecost- when they were scattered abroad by persecution preached the word to none but jews only this exclusive attitude is of course also very modern quite a number of faithful christian worship pers see no reason why the gospel should be given to people of brown yellow or black complexion yet the universal application or the gospel is implicit in the teaching of the fatherhood of god and the brother hood of man christ deliberately broke down religious barriers by trav elling through samaria by talking to a woman of samaria by telling the story of the good samaritan by healing the daughter of a syro- phoenldaii woman by welcoming the greeks who came to see him by tell ing of several old testament heroes who were not- of the jewish race it is going to be a long hard educa tional struggle to break down national exclustveness hi the twentieth century just as it was in the first the antioch innovation 20 21 no matter what rules and regula tions are formed or what conventions are established eventually someone does the natural and sensible thing some men of cyprus and cyrene who had not been narrowed by the jeru salem mental habits preached to the grecians in ahtlooh their words fell upon responsive ears the hand of the lord was with them and a great number believed and turned to christ quite apart from theology and theory the undversalism of the gospel has been demonstrated by fact a study of christian biography will show us that there have been great christians in japan china india and africa it is just ignorance for us to say or even think secretly that the chrts- tlanreuglon can be a monopoly forthe benefit of the- white race christ died for all a good man 2224 a thumb nail sketch introduces us to barnabas he was a good man when luke said that he said much barnabas was a forerunner of all who seek to be good and let who will be clever no one ever thought of barn abas as being a christian strategist but he was the man who opened doors for paul because he had come from cyprus he was sent from jerusalem to antioch to investigate the strange heresy of preaching christ to the gentiles it did not take long for him to become convinced he saw quarrelsome people become gracious defeated people become victorious un happy people become happy instead of starting a controversy or attempting to show them the error of their ways he urged them to remain true to christ barnabas had a strange pow er to influence others for good he was full of the holy spirit and of faith we would probably say that his personality was positive a nickname at first 25 26 people of every generation take a strange delight in imposing nick names children do it crowds at hockey or football gams do it in a time of war scurrilous nicknames are revived tens of millions of people speak of a crtaln make of motor car by a nickname quite frequently the nickname becomes a term of honour the quakers received their appella tion from scoffers today the name has advertising value the salvation army was a term of scorn but now there is pride in the name the methodists were called such in accents of opprobrium but two hundred mil lion methodists now feel no blush of shame at the description the cus tom of calling followers of christ christians which began at antioch spread far and wide and has continued for nineteen centuries faith justified 27 30 recently a canadian minister preached a sermon on wheat tell ing how the fertility of the western prairies had brought immigration describing the drought areas and de picting the problem of canadas sur plus wheat he argued that this surplus wheat created a moral issue what are we to do when we have plenty and to spare recently a member of the federal parliament suggested that one hundred million bushels of canadian wheat be given to china as a war gift and as an ex pression of sympathy incidentally it was pointed out that a permanent mar ket for canadian wheat might be found in china admittedly the problem of canadas surplus wheat can not be sol ved nationally and apparently can not be solved solely on an economic or financial basis there may be famine in one country with superabundance in other countries it remains to and some way of just distribution between countries thattutve too much or too little of specific products it wul require social vision and sympathy tosotveimsesttonkilof and
