THE COMMUNITY CHURCH VOL. V I I I STOW, WHO ARE SUPERIOR OHIO, F R I D A Y, J U L Y 4,1941 PEOPLE? History records this stern fact, that whenever a race of people by ego, education, or achievement, assume an atitude of superiority and announce themselves as God appointed to rule and reign, to be lords and task masters while multitudes serve and slave at their bidding, t h a t people are weighed in the balance of unerring law, and the shadows of their end are already fading. A superior people can exist only as they seek to lift all others up to their own level. Every Nation t h a t has been chesty has slipped and fallen when lisping t h a t fatal word, Superior. The ancient Greeks considered their countrymen superior to all the world about them. It was then that the immortal Paul stood on Mars Hill and declared, God hath made of one blood all nations of men. Acts 17:26. I am told t h a t Adolf Hitler has ordered blood tests made f r o m the veins of different nationalities to substantiate his claim that the Germans are a superior race... I am told that the tests so ordered gave conclusive evidence t h a t the blood s t r e a m is one and the same. The ancient Jews were always boastful of their superiority. God's chosen people, said they. But the Apostle P e t e r heard an unseen voice one day. God hath shown me that I should not call any m a n common or unclean. Acts 10:28. That experience revolutionized the Apostle's views of the Gentile world, lo, all men a r e brothers. So, W H O ARE T H E SUPERIOR PEOPLE? No. 27 The ancient Egyptians, the Spaniards, the French, the English, and scores of other Nations have exalted themselves to superiority. In this recent crises of the world's history Italy has declared that the glory that was once Rome's must be restored. Her superiority must be recognized and all the world should do obeisance to her. The F a t h e r of us all is pleased to recognize service, good deeds, and loving solicitude, but never arrogance, power, or an assumed superiority. The people who live on t h e Island of the Rising Sun have tely assumed a superiority in skill, achievement, power, they feel t h a t they excel, that they are destined to rule all lands of t h e f a r East, including the islands of the sea. This, because t h e brown m a n is superior, and all his neighbors a r e inferior. And even so as it was in the f a r off day, the inferior should be slaves f o r the superior. A great Teacher, one who knows all things, counselled the people saying, Blessed are the meek f o r they shall inherit the earth. Matthew 5:5. The meek, the opposite of the vain a n d haughty, those who are not resentful. The meek, that is the kind, the patient, gentle, long-suffering. The meek, not the gangsters or international lawless dictators of the rights of men. But the good, the fair flowers of faith and justice, they, declared the Great Teacher, shall enjoy the Heaven born right to inherit the earth. The meek have t h e promise they are to live a n d abide when the wild vines have perished f r o m the earth. The superior people, therefore,

GEO. M. HULME <S> BIBLE STUDY LESSON JULY 6 Printed Text Acts 16:6-15. Golden Text Come over into Macedonia and help us. Acts 16:9. The third quarter continues on with the story of the early church in Europe, and is designed to help us build a more effective church today. Paul would have preached in Asia but he was constrained by the Spirit from doing so. A vision appeared to him in the night wherein a man stood saying "Come over into Macedonia and help us." So the gospel was carried into Europe instead of Asia. In Philippi, Athens, Corinth and Ephesus (now called Greece) Paul and his helpers took the message which was received with joy by many. Lydia, the seller of purple believed, the jailor where they were thrown in prison believed, and in some places a whole pagan city was awakened to the truth. This work, of course, was not without hindrance and persecution. The Jews who did not accept Christ as the Messiah hounded them and had them thrown in prison, even following them from town to town, complaining to the authorities until they had them beaten and put in jail. But even the jail was used to advantage by the conversion of the Philippian jailor. Wherever he was, Paul could not help but tell the message of salvation. THE HIGHWAY to public regard is paved with the performance of a Service of Sincerity where a discreet handling of the arrangements rings approval. The McGowan Funeral Home
THE COMMUNITY CHURCH i.ft- The great work of Paul in Europe is almost a rebuke to us who do so little for Christ. Hazel Gillam <t, MOTHERS CLUB The second meeting of the Stow Mothers Club was held Thursday evening, June 26 at the home of Mrs. J. G. Jackson, 250 Hile road. The following officers were installed: Mrs. James Hites, president; Mrs. J. G. Jackson, Secretary-Treasurer; Mrs. H. F. Watkins, Publicity Chairman. Mothers of children between the ages of one to twelve who desire information regarding this club are requested to call Mrs. VV. D. Nickerson, OV-8286. ACTS OF KINDNESS Two weeks ago Martha came home from Sunday school and j:ook sick soon afterward. Dr. Pickard came the next morning and found her suffering from scarlet fever. Several times before we had had scares over fevers and rashes, but this time the doctor wasn't in doubt. Martha went to bed and has stayed there since, Mamma took over the care of the patient and David and Daddy started keeping bachelor apartments. To many of you readers this will be an old story, but it was our first siege. So far it' has been an enlightening experience. The hot weather hasn't helped any, but some acts of kindness by the neighbors have brightened days that otherwise would certainly have been dull and long. The miniature bouquets brought to our door by Mrs. Meeks have added no little to the attractiveness of Martha's trays and helped the lagging afternoon hours on their way. Mrs. Stein remembered her little friend also with a big branching bouquet of yellow posies that brought a big burst of sunshine into the room with them. FOR BETTER MILK SHAKES See IN STOW
10 THE COMMUNITY CHURCH Neighbor Charles Mervin strolled over this evening with a fancy paper container full of novelty Japanese water flowers that will help tomorrow to pass more pleasantly for a little girl who is counting the days until she can get outside with David and Boy Pup again. This afternoon we had a most pleasant surprise, most pleasant because it was unexpected. A car stopped at the side door; and when I stepped outside, there stood Porter Ritchie holding one of the finest bouquets I have ever seen. Big white Japanese Iris, Poppies, foxglove, milk-white lilies, several varieties that I could not name and over and about all dainty white baby's breath all these raised, gathered and arranged by kind hands to bring cheer to a child whom he had never seen. That's Porter Ritchie. The beauty of the gift and the nice sentiment behind it so took me back that 1 fear that I expressed; very inadequately my feeling of thankfulness to this kind gentleman from Darrowville. And so v kind neighbors, you have ; helped with these acts of kindness, and we feel that you have enjoyed knowing that you have helped. It's a rather nice world after all. JOE A. MITTEN ' D. OF A.

LEST WE FORGET Our resentment toward the present German Government for interfering with the kind of life most of us want to live, is so bitter that we are likely to include all people of Germanic birth with Hitler and his ruthless crew. It will perhaps do no harm to be reminded that all of us whose forefathers came from England are of German origin. History and the study of origins has always interested me. To go back to the beginning. Tradition has it that when the sons of Noah came out of the Ark they were all black. In some way they heard of a miraculous pool in which if they bathed they would be washed white. Jathep outran the other two and was completely Bleached. When Shem got there he found just enough water to make his skin yellow and for poor Ham there was only enough to soak the bottom of his feet and palms of his hands.

THE COMMUNITY CHURCH i.fted southward into Africa. Shorn went east and is the father of the Chinese and Japs. Some of the children of Jathep, the fair haired, blue eyed son turned toward the west and north into Europe and there in the valley of the Elbe and along the shores of the Baltic sea his descendants made their homes. They were a hardy adventurous people divided into small tribes, constantly warring among themselves. The collective name for them was German (Spearman) or Deutsch which means The People. Perhaps that is where Hitler gets his notion that his people are supermen. During the fifth and sixth centuries some of these warlike Deutsch overran and conquered most of western Europe. In most of the countries they invaded they met weak resistance and in a comparatively short time the conquerors accepted the manners and customs of the conquered country but in the Isle of Briton the natives fought bravely and it was several centuries before they were completely subdued or in fact almost annihilated so that England today is inhabitated by people of almost pure German stock. Much of the language and of the laws we use come down to us from them. First of these people to come to Briton were the Angles. This German tribe lived in what is now Sleswick Holdstein on the peninsula south of Denmark, later came the Saxons, from these two we get our name Anglosaxon. Even before the invaders had secured themselves in Briton they began fighting among themselves and the island changed rulers several times before the Norman conquest in 1066. However all of the rulers during that time were of German origin so that if Hitler conquers Briton he will not be the first German to do it. We Yankees are simply transplanted Englishmen. While the U. S. has been the melting pot in which people of many nationalities have been merged the dominating force has always been English but there are thousands of patriotic liberty loving citizens of this country who are of foreign birth. Many of them are from Germany and we must not r.clude them in the hatred and contempt we feel for Hitler and his Nazis. It would be interesting, at least to me, to tell more of the history of the great European countries. In my opinion the primary cause of the present war is the commercial rivalry between the English and Germans for the world's business. FRANK A.
