The observance is known as Pentecost, from a Greek word meaning 50 days. It com memorates the occasion, 50 days after Christ's resurrec tion, when the Apostles re ceived the gift of the Holy Spirit and went forth to begin the bold preaching missions which carried the Gospel into every corner of the Roman Empire within a comparative ly few years. Because it recalls an era when all Christians were "of one mind and one spirit," Pentecost is a traditional time for taking stock of the present divided state of the church, and the efforts that are being made to restore its unity, Those who engage in such a stock - taking this week end will find grounds for pessi mism or optimism, depending on how long a view they take. Shorl-Range Outlook Bleak The short-range outlook for Christian unity is pretty bleak. It is now clear, for example, that the Ecumenical Council which will convene in Rome in early 1962 will be an all Catholic affair, with no Pro testant or Eastern Orthodox participation. If Pope John XXIII hoped that the council would lead to Catholic-Orthodox reunion, as he apparently did when he issued the call, he has learned that the hope was premature. Three Churches Announce Events Central Point - A potluck dinner will be held Sunday following the 11 a.m. worship service at First Presbyterian church, Central Point, to hon or the Rev. and Mrs. Robert Bridge. Mr. Bridge has been interim pastor at the church for the past several months. Mr. Bridge will speak on "What the World is Waiting For." Sunday, June 12, the new minister will arrive.

Jones, minister of First Presbyterian church, Jacksonville, will speak Sun day on "The Lost Command ment," the fourth in a series entitled "Small Talks from Big Texts." The choir will sing "Sometimes a Light Sur prises," which is our hymn-of-the-month for June. There will be no Jackson ville Westminster Fellowship meeting Sunday because of the high school baccalaureate service. Phoenix - The Rev. William Saladin will speak on "Tolling the Good News" as the topic of his sermon for the 11 a.m. services Sunday, at First Pres byterian church. Phoenix. Vacation church school will be held from June 6 to 17. Mrs. Ray Claflin has asked that women willing to donate cookies contact her. Somebody is still needed to help with the pre-school children, it was reported. Nursery help is also needed for mothers who will be teaching the church school. This year all of the children's offerings will be used for mis sions. Loyalty Campaign To End Sunday The 1960 Loyalty campaign at Bethel Assembly of God church, 1225 East McAndPcws rd., will end Sunday. The campaign, which started April 24, was scheduled to end on Pentecost Sunday. Those having perfect at tendance during the seven week campaign will receive an award during tlie 9:45 a.m. Sunday school opening serv ice. A feature of the 11 a.m. service will be a reception of members. The pastor, the Rev. L. D. Krause. will speak on the subject, "Pentecost is Lfor Today." The evangelistic rauy is scnentiieci lor v .hi p.m. The public Is invited to attend all services. Sunday The issue of papal authority, which has divided Catholic and Orthodox churches for nearly a thousand years, is still so touchy that neither side can think of a formula which would permit Orthodox bishops to sit in a council sum moned by the Hope. Within the Protestant branch of the Christian fam ily, the drive for reunion is going forward, but in low gear. During the past year, denominational mergers have brought the Unitarians and Universalists together, and have welded three Lutheran bodies into one. Fj)ur other Lutheran groups are tentative ly set to unite in 1962. The Methodist Church and the United Evangelical Brethren seem to be headed for early consolidation. Several other n-gotiations are in progress, but mostly they are tentative and explor atory, and no one looks for dramatic results any time soon. Picture Looks Brighter This record is not very en couraging to idealists who are impatient for immediate re sults. But the picture looks brighter when you view it from the long perspective of History. Then you are struck, not by the snail s pace of the Chris tian unity movement, but by tne tact that there is such a movement. For the first time since the Reformation, four centuries ago, Christians are more concerned with drawing together than with pulling apart. They have recognized that their divisions are 3 scan dal to man and an offense .to God, and they are beginning to recognize that neither side is entirely to blame for the situation. The most fashionable word in church circles these days is "dialogue." It simply means that Catholics and Protestants are talking to one another in civil tones, trying to under stand their differences. So far the dialogue has been con fined mostly to scholars and theologians, and it has been concerned with clarifying ra ther than settling disputes. But both sides are trying earnestly to expand and deep en the process of mutual re acquaintance. Nazarenes To Observe Pentecost Pentecost, the day on which the Holy Spirit came accord ing to the promise of Jesus Christ, will be observed Sun day in the First Church of the Nazarene, 520 North Holly street.

The truth is that they have been arrested for preaching Christ and have" fceen treated like criminals. They have been warned that worse punishment awaits them if they preach Christ again. And for this they were thanking God. Does it seem strange to you that men should rejoice be cause GocJ has counted them worthy to suffer for him? Do you rejoice when you make some sacrifice that will cost you something but will help others Do you rejoice that each year you can see a little growth, in character your soul a little bigger your aim and purpose in life a bit more worthy? If you the joy of the beaten Apostes won't seem strange to you. If not, there fs no way to explain It to you.
