Any man capable of healing the

Trouble knows no color line.
Jesus will neyer be able to do any-
thing for some men until he can get
them out of the crowd they are in.
It was not the woman's wit, but her

way of life can restore to the world
sanity, security and peace.
To accomplish this end there must
be closer inter-church, inter-denomi-
national, inter-racial contacts and co-
operation working toward that oneness
' for which Jesus prayed. Much is being
done in this regard and the church of
Allen has and must continue to play its
part.

ship and were both philanthropists after
the same pattern.
George Foster Peabody was born in
Columbus, Georgia, in 1852 and went
North after the Civil War where his
career became interwoven into the in-
dustrial, business, y i
and civic fabric during ihe past fifty
years. While achieving remarkable
success in the business world, he became

pared for Christ, though it knew it s
not. Though it fought hard to destroy 1
tianity was bound to win.
What was the preparation, which the
disciples had, and what further prepa-
ration was expected of them?
Ans. The first missionaries had had
about three years of preparation in
personal contact. with | Jesus Christ,
hearing the gospel from: his lips. He
began his ministry about the year A.D.
27, during which time, he choose. his
first disciples: Read “John 1:15-51). It
was nearly two years, after that in the
winter of A.D. 29, that he sent the
twelve forth on their missionary jour-
ney. (See Matt. 9:35:11); Mark 6:6-13;
Luke 9:1-6.
Now after he ascended into heaven,
he tells them to tarry in Jerusalem, and
not to depart, until they had received
the Holy Ghost, and after the Holy
Ghost would come upon them, they
would receive power which was neces-
sary for the accomplish—but he had
the man, Peter, the impetous now
preached, while filled with the Holy
Ghost boldly to the great crowds. He
defended the disciples, he proved the
resurrection of Jesus Christ, and con-
cluded with a call to repentance, and
3000, souls were saved.
What time in the history of the world
was Christian Mission started and what
was the state of civilization?
Ans, The Ascension and final com-
mand were given as nearly as we can
get it about May 18, 30 A.D. forty
days after the resurrection, which was
April 8th, 30 A.D. Then Pentecost
was May 28,30 A.D.
At this time however, time was not
reckoned according to the Christian
era, It was only long years after Chris-
tianity had been accepted by the civi-
lized world, that all calendars were
changed, and reckoned from Christ.
All time after his birth A.D. and be-
fore B.C.
Many things made it the best time
for the beginning of Christia n Mission.
(a) The Government was uniformed,
all over the civilized world, Rome had
conquered the world. Roman citizen-
ship was good every where. This we
shall later see, helped Paul in his mis-
sionary work.
(b) There

Read Acts 2:1-4 for the manner, in| h

were filled with the Holy Ghost, and
ready for their mission. God had all
things ready. There had come to the
feast, men from all parts of the civi-
lized world to trade, for every devout
Jew went to Jerusalem, and thousands
of others went also. Read Acts 1:6-13:

ROCKVILLE CENTER, NEW YORK
Mafch 5, 1938—A special meeting of
the, “Women’s Home Missionary Union
of Long Island,” which met at the home
of Mrs. Dora Robinson, No. 66 Ran-
dall Ave., Rockville Center, New York
by the President, Sister I. B. Gerald
of Rockville Center.
The meeting was opened by singing,
“What a friend we have in Jesus,” by
our President. Prayer was offered by
Deacon Sydney Scott of Friendship
Baptist Church, Roslyn Heights, N.Y.
Scripture reading II Corinthians 13th
chapter, Ist to 8th verses by Sister
Alma Mackey of Hempstead, L. I., N.
Y. The cause of this meeting was for
the purpose of organizing a Training
School for Women’s Home Missionary
Union of Long Island.
Members present at the meeting were
as follows: Sister I. B. Gerald, Sister
A.M. Mable, Sister Dora Robinson, all
of Rockville Center; Sister Alma Mack-
ey of Hempstead, Bro. Reuben Morton
Rushmore, Bro. Sydney Scott, Sister
Ella Scott and Sister Mary L. Davis,
all Roslyn Hieghts, New York. All
those present were temporialy elected
as officers of the Training School.

and the letters of Paul, written in Greek
were thus made almost universally ac-
ceptable, and readable.
(c) Augustus Ceasar was a great
road builder, all roads leading to Rome,
his great capital. This made travel
easy for the missionaries, and safe. ;
(d) But the best thing, the old relig-
ions of the world were decaying, and
mankind everywhere was hungering
for a new spiritual force, which would
inspire them to nobler and higher liv-
ing. The Jews had forgotten their
world-wide mission in their narrow
nationalism, and the spirit of the law
had been destroyed by the strangest in-
sistence of the letter. Ni
Not only was the religious conditions
deplorable, but the moral as well. Rome
was rich and powerful, her sons and
daughters knew no restraint, So it was

At the close of the temporarialy elec-

self very highly on the success of the
church under the leadership of Rev.
P.C. Williams, their beloved pastor and
j Mrs. Ruth Williams have proven a very
efficient help in all of the various ac-
tivities of the church.
All organizations supplemented their

quest for the return of the pastor and
his good wife, Mrs. Ruth Williams. |
They have proven themselves a real
asset not only to the church and com-
