1 THE COMMUNITY CHURCH NEWS Vol. Ill Friday, August 21, 1936 STOW, OHIO No. 34 MINISTERS COLUMN CONFIDENCE Many times I have felt a desire to write an essay on Confidence, however, not until now has the way cleared and the hour appeared at hand. Confidence, a firm belief in the integrity of another, a trust, a reliance on one's own ability or competency. Confidence, that dependable fabric woven through society on which the whole social order stands or falls. Confidence, that sacred thing that binds man and man to the most intimate friendship, that holds mankind to the most sacred trust. Confidence, that which eliminates suspicion and casts out distrust. Confidence, that which rallies the souls of men in one glorious, united, unconquerable, bold resolve. Confidence, men, confidence. Shout it, broadcast it, let it swell into a mighty chorus that will encircle the globe. Without confidence, what? I will tell you, it is chaos, despair, and the blackness of a lost cause. Confidence is something solid to stand on, it is a light that casts out gloom, it is a star that twinkles on before as an unerring guide. Confidence, that quality of life that inspires the soul, that encourages man to, the highest degree of achievement. Without confidence the cause is lost, may as well pack up the kit and slink back in shame and defeat. Confidence, however, is a Quality that squares to the task, that has studied the situation, that has dare and valor and courage to advance. Confidence, yes, confidence, that glorious secret that lies buried in the thought, the heart, the soul of home life. That nigh indispensable thing that opens the w.ay for credit, for happiness, for the onward push of civilization. Come along my brother, have you confidence in the brick meeting house at Stow? Have you confidence in the prayers, the hopes, the efforts of good folk, both living and dead, those who broke ground and looked forward to the consummation of a great church at Stow? Have you confidence in the boys and girls that come across the allotments and along the highways to your Bible School? (Confidence, yes confidence in the fine band of women and the well-meaning men who come and take their place and seek food for their souls? Come, my neighbor, confidence can.now be established in The Community Church at Stow, established as never before in the seventeen years of your history. The way is fast clearing, the last barrier almost down, the day of achievement and victory is near at hand. One dare assert, with all confidence, the night is passing cut and the twilight of a new order is visible for all. Possibly before this article is printed on the front page of The Community Church 'News, a troublesome note, of years standing^ will have been paid. It is also probable that, the parsonage, unused and a burden for several Sunday Sermon Topic - - Almost Persuaded

The going for the future will be a joyous one, victory is assured on every side. Confidence, that is it. A mighty, spiritual church at Stow is the order of the day. A social order, where happiness a,nd good-will abound, is. part of. the program. A center from which good shall flow is the hope and aim of The Community Church at Stow. Confidence in each other, confidence in the future and the good n P I i I I Itfolk at Stow. Confidence, this. Is our task, we shall, not fail. GEO. M. HULME' MEN'S BIBLE CLASS ' The subject of our lesson for next Suhday is "The Gospel [For All Men." It is a straight forward narration of a series'of events in the ministriy of Simon Peter. There is nothing in the text which' is difficult to understand. It is simply told. Perhaps the most interesting phase of this lesson is an analysis of the method God used to broaden. Peter's vision, a.nd to correct his narrow point of view. Peter, who was'a Jew, believed the gospel was for Jews only. He also believed in a number of conventions and orthodox teachings of Jewish society. In other words he was bound up and restrained by conventional' society. God did not go to Peter and say, "Peter, you are wrong." How easy it is to say this. Such a rebuke would have crushed Peter's heart: He did not tell him, "You v must change your ideas abou-t Gentiles and preach to them." What <jod did do was to sell Peter- the idea, and the method used was. unique. He first appeared to Peter in a vision and offered Peter animals of the earth which Jews even taught were unclean. He told him. MEMBERS OF THE ORDER OF "THE GOLDEN RULE" Which means that our service, equipment, and personel meets national standards and can be de= pended upon under any circumstances. The McGo<wan Funeral Home WA Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio 1 ' I

3 10 THE COMMUNITY CHURCH NEWS to slay and eat. Peter refused and answered that they were unclean. Please note what God's answer to Peter's protest was. Here it is, "What God has cleansed, that call not thou common." He shook Peter's faith in a minor point of Jewish convention. Simultaneously a messenger arrived from the house of Cornelius requesting him to come with him. God assured Peter he should go and he went but little did Peter know what he was going for or why. When he reached the house of Cornelius he heard a startling story from the lips of this Gentile. He told Peter an angel had appeared to him and instructed him to send for Peter. The meaning of Peter's vision then began to unfold itself and Peter realized that Cornelius was worthy of a knowledge of the plan of salvation made possible by the blood of Jesus Christ. So Peter told the story of Jesus and to Peter's "astonishment the. Holy Ghost, descended upon the group of Gentiles just as ithad upon the Jews at Pentecost. Thus Peter was sold, not by the force of argument by words, but by a wonderful demonstration. It is interesting to analyze the fact that this same factor of narrow vision due to differences of race, creed, education, society and nationality is basically present in the strife and contention of a Godless world today.

S. in Monday we left New York, crossing the Hudson river by way of the George Washington bridge into New Jersey, and continued up the Hudson on the Storm King highway to.newburg, where we again crossed the river this time on a ferry boat, and went over in Connecticut, then north to Vermont. Had flat tire.jus;., as we got accross the George Washington ^bridge, which was the only car trouble 011 the trip. The scenery along te Storm King highway and m the Green Mountains of Vermont is very beautiful. It was necessary to zig zag around somewhat in order to visit all the New England states, so from Vermont We went southeast to Providence, Rhode Island and from there to Rock and took some pictures of statues and monuments to the Pilgrims. Next, we went to Boston, Lexington and Conc:rd. At Lexington we ran into a terific rainstorm which lasted a half hour Or so. Near Concord we saw the old residences of Hawthorne, and of. Louise May Alcott, a house butt; by Wm. Emerson, and a place not far from here w[here Whittles was born. There are several mqpuments at Concord and on the old battlefield of the Revolutionary war heroes, also a marker showing where the fallen British soldiers were buried. While this is a very meager description of what we saw so far, I will try to describe the balance of tbe trip thru Maine, New Brunswick, Quebec, etc. later on. COAL E. M. Guise Coal & Supply Co.
