AN OLD MESSAGE FOR THE NEW YEAR The International Sunday School l.csson For January I Is "I'ctor Bronchos at IV'lltccost" —Acts 2:11, 22-11, 32-12 By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Religiously, there is something l new or? the horizon for Niheteen Twenty. Practically all of the tie nominations of the United States and Canada have united in a con certed enterprise, more comprehen sive and radical than anything they have heretofore undertaken, called the Itrterchurch World Movement. It enters the new year with an au- j daeious program, a huge organize-; lion and practically unlimited money. All Christians should wish it well; some even dare hope that it! may be tho solution for the present! problem of social crisis and re- j ligious decadence. At the beginning of a momentous ; year, as we take up a course of Surr-j day school studies that face thej fundamentals of faith, it is well deal frankly with ourselves and with ! conditions. Let us admit freely the j temptation to do spiritual work by j material methods. And, to prevent , later disillusionment, let us, also, in j perfect candor remind ourselves that I the Church is not going to meet sue- 1 cessfully the present emergency in; the world by means of money or machinery or methods of modernity. I The Church may take on all tlioi business resourcefulness .of thej Standard Oil Company, all the pub-j licity devlc.es of the circus, all the! many-sided adaptability of a polit-! ical party and all the propaganda! ingenuity of the German govern-, merit, and still leave her great task ; fairly untouched. Scientific effieien-I ey on the part of the Church is not j enough to save our distraught times. • However useful a subordinate place! all these modern appliances may fill. ' the truth needs to lie driven straight i home that they are merely inci- | dental. Nothing that worldly wis dom can devise is able to deliver ourf enmeshed and imperiled world.

Kama ' Address FRIDAY EVENING, ;t eyewitness, proved mightier titan the i! Roman Senate and than Caesar and j liis legions. We cannot improve ' ; upon Peter at Pentecost. The first 1 1 and last obligation of Christianity; to the world is a Word of witness. i. Preaehing, according to apostolic ' specifications, is going to save hu- 1 ; inanity. The good news is the only! hope of hud times. "Accept no substitutes." A mo- ! i tion picture can never supplant the. : message of a man who has had per-! ; sonal traffic with God. An open! 1 forum is u poor makeshift for an j ! Opet? Rook; it may draw the; I crowds, but it is likelier to make j Bolsheviks than Christians. The! ; Peter fashion at Pentecost set the j ! gait that tlie Church was meant to: I follow; she has strayed from it only! , at her own peril and at mankind's ! | loss. j ! As a layman, and as a proponent j j of Christian publicity, and as a for- j ! ward-looking progressive, I, never- ! j theless. declare it as a deep con vie- ; I tion-, horn of experience, observation ! j and study of the New Testament, i j that the world's great need to-day j is for more God-aflame preachers! |of the gospel of a Crucified und | ! Risen Christ. Hack of these is the I ! worst weakness of the Church, i I Prophets in Peter's mold—men • with a clear, unmistakable message | | about God and the way out for the j I world—men who search the hearts j .of their fellows, and set them to ' crying in contrition —these are more ; ; to be desired to-day than any new j movements or organizations or i j campaigns. The many-tongued; I world will witness new Pcnlecosts, ; i which will cleanse as by .fire the cor- ) j ruptiona of our time, only when it; j hears the witnessses to the power of | the Redeemer. In a Polyglot World Within five years we have moved I into a new, great world, embracing j ail races aivd countless strange i tongues. We know ourselves cos- | mopolites and responsible for the ; ■ settling of questions undreamed of ■ a short time ago. At no previous j j study of the Pentecost story have. we so clearly understood the reality l j of the catalog of nationalities who j heard I'eter's sermon; he might al- j most have been preaching at the : I Paris Peace Conference, or on thej | Fast Side of New York. As we i think of it all BOW, we understand j anew that its meaning must apply j not only to I.ttke's list, ranging I from Partitions to Arabians, but also j to vast groups of mankind unknown i in i'eter's time. The Message of | Pentecost to-day has a wider scope than the New Testament world. One of our modern poets, Richard Burton, has voiced the universality of the cull of Christ; "It is said the Bedouins cry, on the Syrian Irlls, a clear I Loud summons to war, and the tribes far distant hearken and hear, So wondrous rare is the air, so crys tal the atmosphere. Ther call is to arms; but One, in the centuries long ago, 1 Spake, there for Peace, in tones that marvelous sweet and ] low, ' And the ages they hear Him yet, ai?d His voice do the nations I know." As Pentecost pictured, the Word j is to all the world. Since the arm is- j j tice, many Americans have sunk into a new sense of selfish provincialism and isolation. They are a sort of western Sinn Feiners, for "them selves alone." But it cannot be dorce. Even if the commingled blood shed in France did not cement us; indissolubly to the whole world, the! blood shed on Calvary would do so. j ' We cannot accept the ties of Christ 1 without being tied to all his friends. The Mcdes and Mesopotamians (at present, afresh, peoples in a crisis) have the same need for the Pente cost tidings as the Canadians and Americans. A Great Sermon Better than a theological semi nary was it for Peter, the fisherman, to have been keeping company with Jesus, the carpenter. There are signs that the churches are revising their sense of values in training for , the ministry; marry an anointed i young man is removed far from his I fellows and emasculated and devital- I ized by modern theological curricu ! la. Reeking with reality, himself a pardoned penitent. Peter s{ood up amid a mixed and critical congre i gation and poured hot from his ; heart his deepest convictions, 1 which were the life-transforming Gospel of Christ. Here are the por tions of his sermon: assigned for to day's study, as translated by Wey ■ mouth: "Peter, however, together with the Eleven, stood up and ad dressed them in a loud voice. " 'Men of Judea, and all you iniiabitants of Jerusalem,' he said, 'be in no uncertainty about this matter but pay attention to ! what I say.' * • " 'Listen, Israelites, to what I say. Jesus, the Nazarene, a man accredited to you from God by miracles and marvels ami signs which God did among you through Him, as you yourselves know Him delivered up through God's settled purpose i and forcknowldege—you by the hands of Gentiles have nailed to a cross and have put to death. But God has raised Him to life, having terminated the throes ot death, for in fact it was not pos sible for Him to be held fast by \, death.' * * * "This Jesus. God has raised to life—a fact to which all of us j testify. " 'Being therefore lifted high by the mighty hand of God, He has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and lias poured out this which j you see and hear. • • " 'Therefore let the whole House of Israel know beyond all doubt that God has made Him both Eord ami Christ—this Jesus whom you crucified.' "Stung to the heart by these words, they said to Peter and the rest of the Apostles; " 'Brethren, what are we to do?' " 'Repent,' replied Peter, 'and be baptized, every one of you, in | the name of Jesus Christ, with a view to the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For, to you belongs the promise, and to your children, and to all who are far off, whoever the Lord our God may call.' "And with many more appeals lie solemnly warned ami en treated them, saying: " Escape from this crooked gene ration.' "Those, therefore, who ,loy fully welcomed his Message were baptised, and on that day about li.uoa persons were added ! to them, and they were con- I ! * ' , ' ( !
