THE GOSPEL FOR ALL MEN.-- Acts 10 :1--11 : 18; Romans 1 : 13-17. GOLDEN TEXT. -- For Gdd- so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever beliey- eth on him should not. perish, but have eternal life. John 3 : 16. THE LESSON AND ITS SETTING Time.--The conversion of Cornelius and the defense of Peter before the church at Jerusalem of his activities at this time all occurred in A.D. 41. The Epistle to the Romans was writ ten-A.D. 57. : : Place.--The Conversion of Corneli- us took place in Caesarea about seveuty miles from Jerusalem, the de- fense of Peter took place in Jeru- salem. The Epistle to the Romans was written by Paul from Corinth, while on his third missionary journey. "l was in the city of Joppa pray- ing: and in a trance I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners; and. it came even unto me: Upon which when | had fastened mine eyes, I- considered, and saw the fourfooted beast of the earth and wild beast and creeping things and birds of the heaven. And | heard also a voice saying unto me, Rise, Peter; kill and eat. But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or un- clean hath ever entered into my mouth, But a _voice. answered the second time out of heaven, What God hatl. cleansed, make not thou com- mon. And this was done thric: and *'l were drawn up again into heaven." These verses have been fully com- mented -upon - in the preceding sec- tions. : Pa "And behold, forthwith three men stood before the house in which we were, having been sent from Caesarea unto me. And the Spirit bade me go with them, making no distinction. An these six brethren also accom- panied me; and we entered. into the man's house. And he told us how he Lad seen the angel standing in his house, and saying, Send to Joppa, and fetch Simon, whose surname is Peter; who shall speak unto thee words, whereby thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house." There is a re- markable difference between verse 14 here and the account of the angel's message to Cornelius in 10 : 5, and 'n the account Cornelius gives _to Peter in 10 : 31, 82. The significant phrase that is added here is, "where- by thou shalt be saved, thou and 'all thy house." - ae "And as 1 began to speak, the Holy Spirit-fell.on them, even as or us at the beginning." "It is remarkable that Peter hee gives no. account whatever of his own discourse at Cae sarea because it was not one of the facts on which he chose to rest his vindication. It was not what he said, but 'what God did that furnished his apology" : "And | remembered the tvord bf the Lord, how he said, John indeed bap- tized with water; but ye shall be bap- tized in the Holy Spirit." The refer- ence here 'is no doubt to Acts 1 : 5, which will remind us at once of the Dron of John the Baptist in Matt. : 11. : "If then God gave unto them the like gift as he did also unto us, when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I. that I conld withstand God?" The facts that Peter 'repre- sented to this more or less antagon- fstic asembly, proving that what he had done was surely in the will of God, are these: (1) his ~experience of the vision and the voice; (2) the coming of meh from Caesarea at ex- actly "the same time; (3) the com- mand, of the Holy Spirit to go; (4) the vision given simultaneously to Cornelius; (5) the descent of the Holy Spirit; (6) the promise of the Lord Jesus. : "And when they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then to the Gentiles also hath . God granted repentance 'unto life." There was nothing more to be said on the part of the men who had been insisting upon circumcision. God "had certainly done something, "and they did not dare contradict it. thing Paul had he devoted to the preaching of tk gospel: his physical strength, his mental powers, the com- passion of his heart, all the talents which God had conferred upon him. "I am ready to preach to you also that are in Rome. ashamed of the gospel." The word "gospel," a the margin reveals, means simply "good tidings" or "good news." _It is good aews from God; it is good news to men. "For it is the power of God unto salvation." Rome in that time knew what power -was. Normally speaking, a man would be ashamed of such a- message in a city like Ronie, where the triumphal processions of the Caesars had re. vealed _to men what human power could do, but here was the power of "So, as much as 'in me 1s." Kvery- For I am not/] God, Yet all the pomp, glory, and magnificence of Rome, its military power, its power to rule, could never save men. "To every one that be- lieveth; to the Jew first, and also to the. Greek." This power was avail able to men, not if they should be | able to attain'a certain righteousness, if they were born of a certain race, or had reached a certain degree of prominence, or were worthy of it, but simply if they would believe, i.e., ac- person, his death, his" resurrection, as their Saviour. "For therein is revealed a righteous- ness of ' God." Rightesusness - is simply a condition of being right, of being found blameless, completely conforming to. the law, and, in the Biblical sense, "is a condition of rightness, the standard of which is God." "From faith unto faith." "Faith has absolutely nothing to do with earning the gift of God, the water and bread of God; it has all to do with taking it." "As it is written, But the righteous shall live b+ faith." (The quotation is from Hab. 2 : 4.) The life_spoken of here is the life able only through the channel of faith in Jesus Christ (Rom. 5 +17; 8 + 13; 10 : 3). To Study Caring of Mentally.

Co ---- At Brown University Dr Lester Ingle and Professor Arthur M. Banta are studying the mystery of life and especially the process of growing old, cladocera, so-called . water fleas, . which are not insects at all; but min- ute * animals related to the lobster, Ingle and Banta cut down the food supply in the younger stages of the "fleas," then increased it after ma- was increased by 50 per cent. 3 In four years nearly 2,000 clado- cera were tested at Brown. Animals that were normally fed at all stages 29 days, Their Fallows on half ra- tions for fourteen days and full ra- tions thereafter lived to the lmle and hearty age of 42 days. Similar ex- periments with partial diets until the cladocera were 20 and 28 days old resulted in life spans-of-44 and b1 days. pg Apparently the most favorable period of the abundant life is not early youth, but maturity, when pos- sibly the body is better able to with- stand the effects of a fairly rapid dissipation" of energy. This is not exactly a revolutionary discovery. For at least a generation it has been known that either by lowering the body temperature or by reducing the food supply it is possible to prolong the life of very low organisms.

Give the body what it wants -- no more-- and life is prolonged. : Neither Ingle nor Banta "cares 'to draw "any analogy between water fleas and humans. Still, they do per- mit themselves to say that "if human life could be prolonged to a propor- tionate extent, the average expécta- tion of life at birth would be close to 100 years and humans would be grow- ing and reproducing at 80 and 90 years of age." Sale of Sweet Feed ---- That livestock feeders and poul- try raisers are using an increased - lished fact. In periods of low prices feed costs must be carefully watched, Practices that are not economical must be discarded and true values must be established. The feed that eggs, for the money expended is the most practical and economical, In_the highly developed dairy sec- tions pure cane molasses has long been considered a necessity, These and -marketing milk and butterfat, the practices that are most-profitable for them to follow. Likewise, in cattle feeding sections the use of pure can molasses has -become more and more important. These actual feed lot tests, car- ried on by the most successful cluss of live stock men, pave the way for others who have not developed their industry to that high degree of effi- ciency. It is only natural, therefore, that more communities are taking up this modern method of feeding which has been proven most economical by the leaders of the industry.
