Peter's words in the Greek bristle with hor- rified emphasis that cannot be trans- lated into English, Food that was "common" was in common used by. Gentiles, but forbidden to Jews, And a voice came unto him again the second time. What God hath cleansed make not thou common, "The heaven-sent voice revokes what had been enjoined from heaven at the giving of the Lkw. The power which made the restriction can re- move it.

Joppa is more than thirty miles from Casetrea, so that the three mesengers isent the night on the way, taking about twenty-four hours for the journey. Peter went up upon the housetop to pray. The flat Eastern housetops, screened by walls three or four feet high, make admirable places for prayer and re- ligious meditation. Abut the sixth hour. Noon, the day- beginning at • sunrise, otr 6 a,ro. This was one of ;the three regular times for daily prayer. Peter would be at leisure from his evangelizing at . this time, When on account of the heat most persons were lying down and taking a rest and sleep. And he became hungry and desir- ed to eat. Probably it was his reg- ular time for eating and the 'hunger was a preparation for the vision which followed. But while they made ready, he fell into .a trance. This was a spiritual ectasy following his prayer; indeed, the Greek word tran- slated "trance" . is transliterated in our "ecstasy." "And he beholdeth the heaven op- ened. Signifying that the vision was from God. And a certain vessel des- cending, as it were a great sheet, let down by four corners upon the earth. The words translated 'sheet" and "corners" are technical medical terms which only a physician, such as Luke was, would think •of using. Precise- ly, the "corners" mean the ends of bandages.' - Wherein were all manner of four footed beast and creeping things of the earth and birds of the heaven. A great hodge-podge of living things, fishes only being omitted, though some of these also were reckoned un- clean. And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill and eat. Peter was probably kneeling and was .to rise from that posturer "which would in- dicate that the trance fell upon him as he was praying. "Kill" shows By nailing the smooth, rigid, "fireproof Gyproc sheets right over the faded walls and ceilings and then decorating, you can make the. oldest home look new and handsome. *20 7i• E iofVITal O "wit For Sale: Ey Rae & Thollxlrpsolrn N Wingh Buchanan Hd e.

The old dispensa- tion is now to give place to the new, and Peter is taught by the vision that menare not to make such distinctions and separations for themselves. Tor meat destroy not the work of God.' . "And. Cornelius said, four days ago, until this hour .I 'was keeping the ninth hour of prayer in my house. The ninth hour would be three o'clock in the afternoon, one of the three regular Jewish hours of pray- er, which Cornelius, as a devout pros- elyte, observed with care. "Cornel- ius wishes to signify two things: (1) that the vision occurred, even to the hour, four days before Peter's arriv- al; (2) that this period of time when fit occurred was the ninth hour." And behold, a man stood before me in bright ap"pare1. He was in the form of a man; but the light which radiat- ed from him showed that he was an angeT;• thus the angels in the Bible history are universally described. And saith, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in re- membrance in the sight of God. We are not told for what the centurian had been praying, but it must have included what he received, a fuller knowledge of God, the forgiveness of his sins, and communion with God through His Holy Spirit. Such prayers as his, backed up with such a life as his, never fail of an answer. Send therfore to Joppa, and call unto thee Simon, who is surnamed Peter. Cornelius did not know Si- mon, and as there were many of t1 .t name in Joppa, for it was a common name, the surname was added. He lodgeth in the house of Simon a tan- ner, by the sea side. This also would help to find Peter, though all tanners had to live by water, in order to get rid easily ,of the disagreeable refuse that accumulated in their calling. All these particulars emphasize the sup- ernatural character of the message to Cornelius. Forthwith therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast weel done that thou are come, Literally, "thou hast done beautifully in corning," an expres- sion of pleasure in Peter's courtesy, so 'different from the response most Jews would have given to the invita- tion. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God, to .hear all things that have been commanded thee of the Lord. A picture that should be true of all Christian con- gregations and preachers. And Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respector of persons. God has no favoritism; He thinks no more of the rich and powerful than of the poor and humble. But in every nation he that feareth Hint, and worketh righteousness, is acceptable to Him. Two things, and two things only, render one pleasing to God: not race, not nationality, not station, not outward conformity to religions rites, nothing but the •fear of God in the heart and obedience to God in the life. These correspond to the love of God and man which Peter had often heard Christ insist- ing upon as the summary of the law "NEITHER JEW NOR GREEK." Paul expressed a similar thought in his letter to : the Galations. 'Thera can.be neither Jew nor Greek, there can be neither bond nor free, there can be no male and female; for ye all are Otte Malt in Christ Jesus. "Dinstirctions of creed or race are incompatible with true'membersbip of Christ: the legal •barriers and social cleft which severed freeman from skive; even natural divisions as deep- seated as those of sex, disappear in presence of the all-absoii iltg unity of the body of Christ." AM if ye are Christ's then arc ye Abraham's seed, heirs according to promise. When they, became Christ-. ians, the Jews were required.to;shate af every all other.. Christians, o v er y race, their mostcherished privilege and pride, that of being included in the covenant which Jehovah made with their father Abraham. All men, being their brothers were also child- ren of Abraham. GORRIE Mr, and Mrs. D.

Cummings, hav, ing spent four years overseas, was able to remind the congregation of several outstanding events as a re- sult of peace being proclaimed, Rev. outlined the steps leading to a last- ing peace: 1. People in their own national life to practice the spirit of brotherhood. 2. Not to leave the bringing peace and goodwill in the hands of the League of Nations, or to politicians, but to strive for indiv- idual self-control. 3. To put God in- to the National life,, pledging ourselves to the spirit of goodwill. 4. To face the stern fact that many impedients in the coming of peace are found in the individual heart. The choir again sang an anthem of Thanksgiving, and at the close of the sermon sang an Armistice selection "God hath given to us peace."

There is only one obstacle to the progress of any community that is definitely fatal, and that is lack of civic spirit and team work on the part of its citizens, A few years ago a shall town was in the sticks; today the only towns or communities in the sticks are those made up of sticks and a "stick" is one- who refuses to do anything or get together with those who will. A town is just as big as the people in it. The trouble is that it is easier to be little than big, and nature, left alone, does not lm - prove without aid. A big job requires big people, and in this day of keen com- petition, "putting your town over" is no little 'undertaking., and if there is an over -abundance of "little" people in any community, it won't be done. "Little people" are those who say it can't be done. "Big" people are those who interrupt those who say it can't be done, by doing it. Thinking Wingham is the best place on earth isn't enough. It helps, but thinking so doesn't thinking with doing. make it so, unless you follow up You say, "I think Winrharn should do this," or "We should have that," You read these editorials and say, "'Chat's a good idea," or "I think that's right," ete. etc., but what do you der about it? As you read this, you say,' "1 hope so -anti -so sees this, It hits -him right On the head, he itt always taikhig a lot, brit never does anything," and you may be right, but how about yourself? Maybe you don't even talk, and when you do talk, do you talk "up" or "down?" if you are big, you will talk it up; otherwise, you will say to yourself, "Oh, let the Chamb •r of Commerce, tate Lions Club, or somebody else do it." 'I'o be "big" you do not have to be -a niereliant, a doctor, a lawyer or a banker. If you think yogi are little potatoes, you will be little potatoes. No emitter who you are or what you do, you are just as big as you think and do. Copyright, 1929, A. 1). Stone, . Reliroduetun prohibited in who err: in part.
