quarters lessons we have al ready seen now the roman empire brought into one scheme off political tmfty tbe whole mediterranean world romaa legions guaranteed the peace and order and security ol romes empire- end roman cltlzen- ifcip was a passport which was hon oured from one end of tbe empire to the- other as we see from the lesson text paul was greatly anxjous to go to tike capital of una empire to preach the gospel there was already a ohurch there but paul greatly desi red to preach there in order one sup poses to reap a further harvest when he finally went it was as a prisoner ig arrested in jerusalem he took advantage of his roman dtlsenshlp and appealed to caesar we do not knew what effect his preaching had in rome although we do know the slave onesimus of last weeks lesson was a reward of his labours there and while we cannot be sure of how his career ended tradition has it that he died in rome a martyrs death although in pauls day the chris tian church was small and never ot beyond the stage of being an occas ional nuisance to local roman author ities yet it was destined to unify men in a way which roman might and law could never bring about the roman empire went the way of all human empires becoming the victim of decay within and enemies without a few centuries after paul it could hardly be said to exist although its glamorous name was long continued and in our own day was revived but the christian church became the one comparatively stable and unifying in- situation in the haos of the dark ages why what was the basis of this new and deeper unity it was a a common faith in jesus christ hold ing to the same faith acknowledg ing one lord supreme over all tem poral kings and lords men of many different races found that they were one in christ of course it is possible to idealise the unity of the world in christ race prejudices and national ambitions have always flourished and still flou rish considerably in spite of the in fluence of christianity and even the church itself has bred many unhappy drriakma which have prevented even those who bore the name of christ from being united nevertheless this must be said that wherever man have truly held the same faith in christ unity has prevailed among them the common faith hoc crossed borders of race and nation and color which could not have been crossed in other ways- no human empire could do this might can subdue people temporarily but human nature is restive under armed moght tbe very conception of empire implies a sduam lordship and since by nature ewjynanwaattotardit oer others men will not indefinitely submit to human domination they will be truly dominated and united only by a lordship which is not of this world in other words dtvine no individual or nation has the right to dominate other men or other nations only god has that absolute right and he does not delegate it to humans and only he can create an order tn which all who come under it are will tag to be equal members of the one intimity putting to rest the jeal ousies of one individual or class or na tion toward others no one but the fjord jesus christ qualifies as tbe ru ler of a community m which all men live in unity and peace we are thing today in a world which seems to greatry desire peace and knows not how to get it world unity and law are widely spoken of and re commended but race prejudice and national anitmtlon and economic strife continue to eaerclse their sway until men achieve a common basts of faith up on which to act until such time there will be much talc and much id ealism but talk and idealism without works are dead the church therefore reminds men that true unity among men is possibly only in the sharing of a common faith in christ perhaps m the present bro ken c of the ohurch so much divided by sectarian bickerings and denominational aloofness although not half so much as her would betters sod b fwau aslt-rlgb- tsouenesp of the wort tbkj hope seema as remote a any other yet this need not and ought not to pre vent fcw from looking x that direc tion jor it 1 the ohry ction which has any promise at the end of tibv road tbe ohurch of jesus christ does not lay the emphasis upon the ohurch as an institution aspiring to rule and thus unify tbe world we cannot teu what the fate of the church aa an institution will be the pom is that wherever a true and liv ing faith hi jesus christ is found and shared there unity exists already in christ barriers are broken down be tween man end man in so far as the impact of this faith is felt paul did not go to rome dreaming of a world wide ohurch institution he went there to preach the gospel in which he believed and m which others were comlfekg to believe and where that belief existed there was neither greek nor jew nor roman any nwe paul could not promise any unified and peaceful world nor can the ohurch of today but paul could preach that faith which set those who accepted it upon common ground and that is what the church preaches today lessons for the next quarter the gospel of john flowers design work a specialty we deliver norton floral the georgetown herald- wednesday dee 2swwa 111 i ii 11 i u greetings
