Christian Church Exists to Bring
Gospel and Salvation
Scripture: Acts 11:19-28
13:1-3;
4:7 -
By WILLIAM E. GILROY. D.D.
In the early history of Israel
the religion, of the faithful was
constantly subject to me allure
ments of idolatry, and the im
moral practices associated with
the idolatry of the surrounding
peoples. When Greece became
dominant through me woua con
quests of Alexander the Great,
effort was made to corrupt the
religion of Judaism by the infil
tration of Grecian pagan ideas
and Dractices. It was against this
that the Maccabees made their
valient .fight, and that many of
the Jews were faithful despite
cruel "persecution. Through de
feat, exile, and dispersion the
Jewish people had learned their
lesson. It was a purified rem
nant that came back to Jeru
salem from Babylon, and Jews
scattered throughout the ancient
world, instead of succumbing to
the pagan life around them, cher
ished the more the religion of
their fathers and of their home
land, worshipping, wherever they
were, with their faces toward
Jerusalem.
Many Gentiles, reacting
against the moral laxity and li
centiousness of their pagan en
vironment, and observing Juda
ism's emphasis upon the moral
law, were converts to Judaism.
In this way among devout Jews
and Gentiles barriers were es
tablished against paganism that
mado the work oi the Christian
ehurah and its growth easier.
But, the real power of the
church was in the faith and zeal
of the Christian disciples. The
Aposlles tok the commission to
go into ail the world and preach
the Gospel with deep seriousness,
and greatest of all from the
standpoint of missionary fervor
and achievement was the new
Apostle, Paul. This remarkable
man, who had lived in all good
conscience trom his youth, and
who in his- conscientious zeal
had persecuted the Christians,
when he perceived the truth of
the new way became as eainest
in his propagandism for his new
found faith. .-Perhaps his zeal

was even greater, because he
realized the evil he had done in
his ignorance and intolerance,
and he had to exert himself as
a Christian all the harder to
undo the evil of those former
years.
It was symbolic of the work
and purpose of the Christian
church that the disciples should
have been first called Christians
at Antioch. Antioch in Syria
was on of 16 Antioches in the
ancient world, which the con
queror Seleucus Nakator built
and named in honor of his fa
ther. At the time of the early
church it was a gorgeous and
beautiful city, 14 miles from the
sea on the navigable river, the
Orontes. Its splendor is. sug
gested by the fact that a double
colonnaded corso ran fiom east
lo west of the city for five miles
in a straight, line, and in wet
weather the populace could walk
from end to. end under cover.
Trees, flowers pnd ifountains
adorned the promenade. ...
But it was a wicked and licen
tious city, so much so that when
moral degradation reached a low
point in Rome, Juvenal wrote
that "the Orontes had flowed
into the Tiber." Now the
Christian church exists, not for
the enjoyment and edification of
its own members alone, but to
minister the Gospel, and bring
salvation to a lost world. It was
fitting that in a corrupt, city of
OUU.UUU people, . tfte disciples
should have been called Chris-
tains. The name befitted their
character and their purpose. It
is whr-3 sin abounds that grace
is needed.

More Canned Food
Is In Prospect
For Civilian Use .
WASHINGTON, June 2?,, (UP)
Civilians will get more canned
fruits, fruit juices and vegetables
from this year's crop than previ
ously expected, according io war
food administrator Marvin Jones.
He said the 1945-46 supply of
canned vegetables will be 10 to
15 per cent smaller than the
supply from last' year's produc
tion and that supplies of canned
fruits and juices will be, about
the same. , 1 ... .,'
Earlier it was . estimated that
there would be 25 per cent' less
canned fruits, and vegetables for
civilians in the next 12 months.
Jones explained that the armed
forces have cut their require;
ments five per cent on vegetables
and seven per cnt on fiuits. In
addition, he said, earlier estim
ates of total production now npj
pear too conservative.
, Meanwhile a reliable Bouree
predicted today that slaughter
quotas for non-federally Inspec
ted packing plants will be, ad
justed upward soon. The action,
taken to handle the greatly inJ
cieascd number of cattle due to
come off ranges in July, 'would
greatly relieve the meat shortage
in rural areas dependant on this
