power is still at work in the world, and that it eventually will triumph over all the obstacles that men have put in the way. The Beginning of World Mission Material: Acts, tii, 25; tiii, 12. I5y RALPH I HOLLAND, Pastor Carrollton Avenue Reformed Church, (Sponsored by the Church Federation of Indianapolis.) Back of the entire idea of home and foreign missions lies the idea of sharing. Men have found in Christ a peace that passes all understanding. It is too good to keep and they find themselves under inner compulsion to go out and share with others that good news, that faith, which has set them free.

When Jesus was on His way to the Holy City on the first Palm Sunday the people began to shout for joy for they believed that Jesus was now to set Himself up as their king. Some of the Pharisees suggested to Jesus that he rebuke these people, but he answered, "I tell you if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out." (Luke xix, 40). He knew that when men had the peace of God they had to proclaim it. ill Be Speaker Officers of Christian Endeavors Union to Be Installed. George Fisher, principal of school No.

"The United States government recently began mobilizing the na tional youth by conscription, which will probably continue for many years.

On the military and naval reservations the government is doing a splendid job of morale building but off the reservations a real problem exisls a problem which strikes at the very root of morale. Off Street Corner. "The United Service Organiza tions composed of Y.W.C.A., Y.M.C.A., the National Catholic Community Service, the Salvation Army, the Jewish Welfare Board and the National Travelers' Aid Association, are assuming responsibility to care for the youths off the military and naval reservations. These organizations are rushing into these sections to get the boys off the street corners, to counsel the homesick youngsters, to plan morale-boosting recreation and to set up spiritual safeguards. "To do effective work our every effort must come from a solidly united front and our willingness 1o co-operate must come from a sincere determination to care for our young men away from home, "We therefore proclaim Sunday June 8, 1941, as United Service Organization Sunday to impress upon the people of the state of Indiana more deeply the importance of this program and ourgreat responsibility to see it through." Services for Soldiers.

I SEEKS BLOCKADE PASS. i More than 800 church organiza-; tions of the United States conferences, synods, assembles, including representative Prot-iestant, Catholic and Jewish bodies 'have adopted resolutions or presented petitions urging that the American people be permitted to pass through the British blockade with food for the small democ-: racies of Europe now reported starving, especially Belgium, Hol- land, Norway, Finland and central 1 Poland. These countries have 000,000 Protestants, 20,000,000 Catholics and 3,500,000 Jews. Al-! most half the population are children. I PARISH GROWS FAST.

"The fastest growing Christian parish in the wwld" is said to be the diocese 01 the bishop of Dor-nakal, Dr. V. S. Azariah, Indian bishop of the Anglican church, among the outcastes and untouchables of southern India. There are not less than 10,000 Indian converts admitted into the churches of this diocese each year.

For many years this missionary field has been under the care of the Society for the Propogation of the Gospel, one of the earliest of British mission bodies. The society also has stations in Ceylon and in many other sections of India. Be cause of the war situation in Brit ain the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States has undertaken to help support the work of these Anglican stations. ERECTS JUNGLE SCHOOL. Deep in the heart of the Belgian Congo, Africa, the Methodist church is erecting a new "central training school" for the education of young African natives as pas tors, teachers, health demonstra tors and agricultural instructors to the thousands of Bantus living in jungle and plain.

The school is to be known as Springer Institute, in honor of Bishop John M. Springer of Wisconsin, Methodist pioneer in the Congo. It will be located on two farms at Mulungwishi in the people themselves) and in countless other ways is helping India to a new life not only religiously, but socially, medically, agriculturally, educationally, etc. Tells of Indian Missionary. Here again, this mission land is sending back into the western world some of the age's choicest spirits.

Few men in any age have approximated the spiritual life of Sadhu Sundar Singh, who a decade ago visited Europe and America and gave us the testimony of his remarkable spiritual achievements. Or we could suggest men like Bishop V. S. Azariah and Dr. R.

B. Manikam, to mention just a few pioneers who are helping us to interpret Christianity through the enrichment of the Indian experience of Christ. China is no different from these other countries in this respect. Great souls like Drs. Robert Morrison, Judson Taylor and William E.

Hoy carried the spirit of Christ to this land, both by preaching and in their, personal lives. Here, as in India, the contribution of Christian leadership by western countries has brought remarkable changes for the good in native life in proportion to the degree in which it is allowed to do its work. China has likewise given back to the world great contributions in Christian leadership enriched by the peculiar qualities of this gifted people. Men like T. Koo and Dr.

Chueng, and women like Mme. Chiang Kai-shek, and Mrs. Sun Yat Sen are among the" world's noblest characters. Japanese Teachers. Japan has seen, as these other mission fields have seen, a noble company of men and women consecrated to the service of Jesus Christ enter her borders and proclaim the gospel.

Missionaries like Drs. Verbeck, Hepburn and D. B. Schneder and a host of others have changed the moral and religious life of this artistic people. Japan owes much of her remarkable rise to power to the stimulus of the Christian church.

In return she has enriched Christianity for generations to come with the personalities and work of such noble spirits as Dr. Kagawa, Uemura and Neesima and Miss Kawai and Mme. Yajima. Their beautiful Christian lives and thinking help us more truly to find the ecumenical significance of our faith. They as well as our missionaries are carrying the gospel to all nations in accordance with the command in our memory passage.

What our missionaries have done in carrying the faith of the church in Jesus Christ to the world is an impossible thing. But yet they did it by the power of the Holy Spirit working In and through them. Without this gift of God world missions could not have car ried on. In our present darkness the spirit still works. And here is our hope for the present world darkness.

The basis of our faith is not of this world, but of God. Military might, physical and mechanical efficiency will pass away, but the very structure of the universe Is grounded hi God, and partakes therefore of love, truth, righteousness and peace. Missions demonstrate that God's purse, do many sort of (M-Ming, fashion necklaces and follow other project. Girl in thi group are making silhouette picture on glass.

New Jersey street. New York and New Jersey, R. Flanigen, pastor; morning, fCHURCH I a Last week we saw how Barnabas deliberately overlooked the distinctions between Jew and Gentile in Antioch and gave himself to the ministry of the Word in that city. Today we find how he and Paul, under the compulsion of the spirit, left their settled work in that city and began the first deliberate foreign missionary journey "in history.

That same compulsion has motivated men from that day to this, sending some abroad and some to tasks in the home land. But go we must, to others somewhere and share our Christian joy. It cannot be kept to ourselves. Because of this insistent urgency the church has now become a world-wide institution. First Great Missionaries.

Paul and Barnabas and Mark are among the first groat missionaries of the church, and their spiritual descendants in every age are among the world's choicest spirits. We have not the space here to write about some of these pioneers that we should like to. We will, however, try to take a few names of Christian missionaries to pagan lands, and a few Christians from pagan lands who have helped us of the West to a better appreciation of our own faith. It is by this intimate interchange of Christian faith and experience that we recognize Christianity as a universal religion, transcending all differences of color or race. The followers of Christ in other parts of the world have spiritual gifts that will enrich our lives immeasurably.

We, too, can make our own peculiar contributions of consecrated service for Christ to peoples throughout the world. Successors to Paul. In Africa men like Livingstone and Schweitzer, who left the comforts of a well-ordered life to give their time and talents and services to the Dark Continent, are in true spiritual succession to Paul and Barnabas. They purposely chose the diliicult life of a primitive continent, partly because they believed they could serve their Master best there and partly because they felt themselves under constraint of the Spirit of God to do just that. Africa, like every great Christian mission field, has not tx-en only on the receiving end for, in turn, she has given some out standing Christian leaders.

Praises Dr. Ajtgrey. Dr. J. E.

K. Aggrey, to mention just one native Christian of thai land, served not only Africa but the United States as one of the finest exponents of inter-racial friendship the world has yet known. His familiar simile of the white and black keys of the piano both being necessary for harmony has helped us all better to understand the need of inter-racial friendships. In India such names as William and Sam Higginbottom are among dozens of others of people who have done faithful service to Christ in this land of their adoption. These people have opened a new way of life to the people of India; they have shown that in Christ there is neither Jew nor Gentile, but a oneness of all men.

This faith is now at work helping to break down the barriers of caste (class divisions among the BAPTIST. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Meridian and Vermont ts. Carleton W. Atwater, D. Pastor.
