evangelisation. To-day any of us can travel farther in 7 days in comfort that Peter or Paul could in as many months, with hardship and danget. The world has shrink, till now it is expect ed we may soon ay from here to London in a few days, but in those times a man crossed even into his neighbouring province with apprehension, while to go really far afield was to venture into the sheer unknown, about which any- thing was believable and from which, if he returned, he made special offerings to the Gods. The charge laid on them must have appeared overwhelming to the few first believers, even geograph ically, if they at all realised the scope of it. But greater than even the geographical were the racial and religious barriers set them to overcome, and firm of all to overcome in their own minds, permeated as these were with traditional restrictions and prejudices. This book of Acts! shows how difficult it was for the first Christians to rise to their master's viewpoint as to the universality of His mission among Inen. They bai to be scattered by the persecution which arose about Stephen before they even began to set about their wider evangelistic business. Even Peter. their leader, had to have a special lesson, thrice repeated, before he got it fairly into his mind that the gospel was for all men

As if any of these things mattered two strains in the light of the gospel which knows neither Jew 2105 · Greek male nor female, barbarian, Seythian, bond nor free. What impresses me in all these curious. speculations is the underlying egoism of them, the willingness to show that "we"-whoever that may happen to be in the particular case-are the people, lifted above the common run of humanity in some way or another, So far as that spirit enters in it is flatly and irreconcilably con→ trary to Christ, in whom middle walls of partition are broken down, in order that in Him, the Son of Man, and not the pro-

Elis charge to carry His gospel to the uttermost parts of the earth means nothing if not that it is capable of being received wherever man is found, and also that it is needed everywhere if God's best purposes in making man are to be carried out. corresponding objections might have been offered to the journey of the Apostle Peter to Caesarea to take the gospel to Cornelius, referred to in our second text.

And yet we have people here who profess to see no prospect in Christianity for the mass of their Chinese neighbours. Consider the pit whence we our selves were digged. Were our ancestors fit for the drawing- room when first the gospel found them? As to the other point, St. Peter himself is quot- ed, albeit frightfully misapplied, When it dawned on him that! God is no respectar of persons but accepts the man who any- where lives up to the light he possesses, it did not occur to him that he was provided with a reason for neglecting his Master's command to bring much coils to the brightness of his rising Cornelius was good man who served God as best knew how, and Cod. rewarded him not alone by accepting him as he was bat by giving him greater hight, which is God's way always and better than our way of saying (Continued on page 3).
