MINISTERS COLUMN CONFIDENCE

Many times I have felt a desire to write an essay on Confidence, however, not until now has the way cleared and the hour appeared at hand. Confidence, a firm belief in the integrity of another, a trust, a reliance on one's own ability or competency.

Confidence, tha t dependable fab-ric woven through society on which the whole social order stands or falls. Confidence, t h a t sacred thing that binds man and man to the most intimate friendship, that holds mankind to the most sacred trust. Confidence, tha t w h i c h eliminates suspicion and casts out distrust. Confidence, tha t which rallies the souls of men in one glor-ious, united, unconquerable, bold resolve.

Confidence, m e n , confidence. Shout it, broadcast it, let it swell into a mighty chorus tha t will en-circle the globe.

Without confidence, what? I will tell you, it is chaos, despair, and the blackness of a lost cause. Confidence is something solid to stand on, it is a light tha t casts out gloom, it is a star tha t twinkles on before as an unerring guide. Confidence, that quality of life that inspires the soul, t ha t encour-ages man to, the highest degree of achievement.

Without confidence the cause is lost, may as well pack up the kit and slink back in shame and de-feat. Confidence, however, is a Quality tha t squares to the task, that has studied the situation, tha t

has dare and valor and courage to advance.

Confidence, yes, confidence, tha t glorious secret tha t lies buried in the thought, the heart , the soul of home life. That nigh indispensable thing tha t opens the w.ay for cre-dit, for happiness, for the onward push of civilization.

Come along my brother, have you confidence in the brick meet-ing house at Stow? Have you con-fidence in the prayers, the hopes, the efforts of good folk, both liv-ing and dead, those who broke ground and looked forward to the consummation of a great church at Stow? Have you confidence in the boys and girls tha t come across the allotments and along the high-ways to your Bible School?

(Confidence, yes confidence in the fine band of women and the well-meaning men who come and take their place and seek food for their souls?

Come, my neighbor, confidence can .now be established in The Community Church at Stow, es-tablished as never before in the seventeen years of your history. The way is fast clearing, the last barrier almost down, the day of achievement and victory is near at hand. One dare assert, with all confidence, the night is passing cut and the twilight of a new order is visible for all. Possibly before this article is printed on the front page of The Community Church 'News, a troublesome note, of years standing^ will have been paid. I t is also probable tha t , the parsonage, unused and a burden for several

MEN'S BIBLE CLASS ' T h e subject of our lesson for next

S u h d a y is "The Gospel [For All Men." I t is a s t r a igh t forward na r r a t i on of a se r ies 'o f events in t he ministriy of S imon Peter . There is no th ing in t he text which' is diff icul t t o unde r s t and . I t is s im-ply told.

P e r h a p s t h e most interest ing phase of th is lesson is an analysis of t h e method God used to broaden. Pe te r ' s vision, a.nd to correct his na r row point of view. Peter , who w a s ' a Jew, believed the gospel was for Jews only. He also believed in a number of conventions and or thodox teachings of Jewish so-ciety. I n o ther words h e was bound u p and res t ra ined by conventional ' society. God did no t go to Peter and say, "Peter , you are wrong." How easy it is to say this. Such a rebuke would h a v e crushed Peter 's hea r t : He did no t tell him, "Youv

must change your ideas abou-t Gen-tiles and preach to them." What <jod did do was to sell Peter- the idea, a n d the me thod used was. unique. He f i rs t appeared to Peter in a vision and of fered Peter ani-mals of t he e a r t h which Jews even t augh t were unclean. He told him.

to slay and eat. Peter refused and answered tha t they were unclean. Please note what God's answer to Peter's protest was. Here it is, "What God has cleansed, tha t call not thou common." He shook Peter's fai th in a minor point of Jewish convention.

Simultaneously a messenger a r -rived from the house of Cornelius requesting him to come with him. God assured Peter he should go and he went but little did Peter know what he was going for or why. When he reached the house of Cor-nelius he heard a startling story from the lips of this Gentile. He told Peter an angel had appeared to him and instructed him to send for Peter. The meaning of Peter 's vision then began to unfold itself and Peter realized tha t Cornelius was worthy of a knowledge of the plan of salvation made possible by the blood of Jesus Christ.

So Peter told the story of Jesus and to Peter's "astonishment the . Holy Ghost, descended upon the group of Gentiles just as i t h a d upon the Jews at Pentecost. Thus Peter was sold, not by the force of argument by words, but by a won-derful demonstration.

It is interesting to analyze the fact that this same factor of na r -row vision due to differences of race, creed, education, society and nationality is basically present in the strife and contention of a Godless world today.

brought to the U. S. in 1879. Mon-day we left New York, crossing the Hudson river by way of the George Washington bridge into New Jer -sey, and continued up the Hudson on the Storm King highway to .Newburg, where we again crossed the river this time on a ferry boat, and went over in Connecticut, then nor th to Vermont.

Had f la t tire .jus;., as we got accross the George Washington

^bridge, which was the only car trouble 011 the trip. The scenery along te Storm King highway and m the Green Mountains of Ver-mont is very beautiful. I t was necessary to zig zag around some-what in order to visit all the New England states, so from Vermont We went southeast to Providence, Rhode Island and from there to

Rock and took some pictures of statues and monuments to the Pil-grims. Next, we went to Boston, Lexington and Conc:rd. At Lex-ington we r an into a terific rain-storm which lasted a half hour Or so. Near Concord we saw the old residences of Hawthorne, and of. Louise May Alcott, a house butt; by Wm. Emerson, and a place not far from here w[here Whittles was born. There are several mqpuments at Concord and on the old battlefield of the Revolutionary war heroes, also a marker showing where the fallen British soldiers were buried. While this is a very meager des-cription of what we saw so far, I will try to describe the balance of tbe trip thru Maine, New Bruns-wick, Quebec, etc. later on.
