Church to Observe
1,930) Anniversary
Pentecost
By LOUIS CASSELS
Unlttd Press International
This Sunday, June 5, Chris
tians will celebrate the 1,930th
anniversary of "the birthday
of the church."
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

for the past several months.
Mr. Bridge will speak on
"What the World is Waiting
For."
Sunday, June 12, the new
minister will arrive. He will
be installed at a 7:30 p.m.
service.
Jacksonville - The Rev.
King K. 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

CAUSE FOR
REJOICING
In Acts 5:41 is an accouni
of men rejoicing. What has
happened? Have they inherited
a sum of money? Have they
received some great honor?
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.
