Big Show’s Train Gets Annual Blessing
SUN-TAN FOR CHIEF
Reverend Charles Elslander, pastor of St. Martha’s church and circus
chapel in Sarasota, Fla., winter home of Ringling Brothers and Barnnm
and Bailey circus, gives the big show his annual blessing as it entrains
for New York. Left to right: Joseph Steier, altar boy; Reverend Charles
Elslander, Reverend John A. Lynch and Reverend Patrick O’Brien.
Although he’s a full-blooded Cher
okee, Chief Thunder Cloud, in whose
veins flows the blood of the mighty
Red Hawk, has to take a daily
course of sun-lamp treatments to
acquire % convincing tan on his body
for the title role of a new picture.
Radio Amateurs Solve Communication Problems
On the day of his birth Edward Noble sounds off with a lusty yell in his radio debut. The little fellow is
destined to do a lot of broadcasting, for both his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. William Noble of San Fran
cisco, are licensed amateur radio operators. They have s powerful radio station at their home, and the cab
Mr. Noble drives is equipped with a tiny low-frequency receiver-transmitter. A small transmitter and receiver
were installed in the hospital for Mrs. Noble’s benefit.
OVER-BOOTED ANGLER
Musical Bleats Win Prize for Pet
Opening of the New York state
trout season, April 1, didn’t catch
young Albert Welch unprepared. Not
to be outdone by the many men who
were out for their first fish, the over
booted angler caught this prize near
Theresa with an old pole and line.
While Victor Angerame, 'New York city, holds the musical instrument,
“Bum,” his pet lamb, sounds off a tune on the harmonica to win first
prize as the most artistic pet in the Kip’s Boys club’s fifteenth annual pet
show recently. “Bum,” according to his owner, did not pull the wool
over the judges’ eyes.
‘Oscar’ Grades ‘Oomph’ Behind Students’ Kisses
It comes under the heading of recreation as these University of Richmond students, Margaret Harris and
Kenneth Bass, submit to a test in the dynamics of kissing, which can be tested with great precision by the
machine Donald Murrill is operating. The machine is the invention of Dr. R. E. Loving, a faculty physicist
at the Virginia school. He calls it an oscolometer, but the students have named it “Oscar.”

No wonder that Mickey

Joe DiMaggio, New York Yankee slugger, demonstrates a baiter’s
coordination of mind and muscle. Especially noteworthy for both
safety and success is the way Joe keeps his eyes riveted on the ball
from the time it leaves the pitcher’s hand.
In the above two pictures DiMaggio illustrates how he puts his
shoulders and full weight behind the bat as he brings the old hickory
around to connect with the ball. Notice that full attention is still
focused on the ball, a ride that holds true in any sport.

PAUL WINS RECOGNITION
FOR GENTILE CHRISTIANS
LESSON TEXT—Acta 15:23-39; Galatians
2:1. 2. 9. 10.
GOLDEN TEXT—A man Is not Juatlfled
by the works ol the law. but by the faith of
Jesus Christ.—Galatians 2:18.
Persecution from outside was
soon followed by what was even
more serious—difficulty within the
Church. If Satan cannot destroy
God’s work in one way, he cun
ningly tries another plan. Although
the first council at Jerusalem (Acts
11) had decided that “to the Gen
tiles also hath God granted repent
ance unto life,” the question did not
stay settled, for there were persist
ent Judaizing teachers who now
contended that even though the
Gentiles could be saved, they had
to come into the Church by way of
Judaism and first fullflll the Jewish
rite of circumcision.
I. A Serious Difference of Opinion
—Grace Versus Law
The story of how this vital and
fundamental question came up is
found in the early verses of Acts
15. The entire future of the gospel
ministry was in a sense dependent
on the solution of this problem.
Christianity is the only religious
faith in the world that presents
justification by grace as the way
of redemption; all others follow
(more or less) the path of salvation
by works. The question now was:
Shall works of the law be mingled
with grace—can Jesus Christ alone
save men, or is salvation through
Jesus Christ plus something else?
How was such a serious question to
be settled? Should argument and
strife be permitted to go on until
the stronger party prevailed? Bet
ter judgment indicated the desira
bility of
H. A Christian Method of Settle
ment—Council not Controversy
There may be times when it be
comes the duty of the Christian
worker to take an uncompromising
stand for the truth of God and re
fuse to be moved, come what may.
But certainly there should be no
such spirit in dealing with differing
interpretations of Scripture on the
part of sincere and earnest Chris
tian brethren. How much ’would
be gained in the Church today if,
instead of magnifying differehces
and permitting personal desires
and ambitions to intervene, men
were willing to sit down in the spirit
of Christ around the tables of Chris
tian council and brotherhood, pre
sided over and directed by the Holy
Spirit (see Acts 15:28).
The whole question was honestly
and carefully considered by the sec
ond council at Jerusalem, with the
result that there was a vindication
of the preachers of God’s grace.
After presenting a plain disavowal
of those who had troubled them and
subverted their souls (what a seri
ous thing it is to teach error con
cerning God’s Word!), the council
being of one accord, gave recogni
tion to Paul and Barnabas as men
who had “hazarded their lives for
the name of the Lord Jesus” and
were worthy of confidence and sup
port.
No man should think more highly
of himself than he ought. Humility
is a Christian grace which well be
fits a sinner saved by grace. But
the Bible abounds with admonitions
to honor one another, to recognize
the laborer as being worthy of his
hire, to give recognition to those
who are over us in the Lord. The
brethren at Jerusalem were
thoughtful and courteous enough to
so honor and encourage Paul and
Barnabas. We could well follow
their example in recognition of
faithful servants of Christ in our
own church or Community.
HI. A Momentous Decision—Sal
vation by Grace
The final decision of the council
is sent not only by Paul and Barna
bas, but also by a committee from
Jerusalem, a gracious gesture of
fellowship. Courtesy is not out of
place in dealing with even such dif
ficult things as controversies on
Christian doctrine—in fact it should
be most in place in such a situation.
As a matter of record (a wise
procedure in such a case), a letter
was sent which, after addressing
the Gentiles as “brethren,” re
viewed the history of the matter
and then, without mentioning cir
cumcision at all, puts upon the Gen
tiles “no greater burden than the
necessary things.” And what were
these? Those things which relate
to purity of life as those who were
enjoying Christian liberty. The law
of Moses need not be kept as a
ground of salvation. They were
saved by grace. But grace can
never be the cloak of •Careless liv
ing, nor can liberty in Christ be
interpreted as license to live in sin.
We are set free in Christ, not that
we may sin, but that we may “go
and sin no more.”
Blessed Day
Blessed is the day whose morn
ing is sanctified! Successful is the
day whose first victory is won by
prayer! Holy is the day whose
dawn finds thee on the top of the
mount!—Joseph Parker.
