CHRIST'S PUN
Jesus certainly did not intend
) joke when He made His cele-
brated pun on the name of his
hief apostle, St. Peter. It was
rather a matter of emphasis, of
underscoring the significance of
St. Peter’s role in the organiza-
tion founded by Jesus.
Before he met Christ, Peter’s
name had been Simon. But Jesus
looking upon him said: “Thou
are Simon the Son of Jona; thou
shalt be called Cephas,’ which is
interpreted Peter”. (John 1:42).
(Peter is Greek for “rock”).
Later on, Jesus called James
and John “Boanerges,” or Sons
of Thunder, because they were
strong-minded and impetuous.
But poor St. Peter was anything
but a rock in character, when we
think of how he denied the Lord
three times. So the name could
not have referred to his charac-
ter and temperament.
We are left in suspense about
the meaning of this new name
until one day Jesus asks the
apostles whether they believe
His is God.
“Whom do you say that l am?”
Jesus asked them.
Simon Peter answered and
said: “Thou art Christ, the Son
of the Living God.”
And Jesus answering said to
him: “Blessed art thou, Simon
Bar-Jona: because flesh and
blood hath not revealed it to thee,
but my Father who is in heav-
en. And I say to thee: That thou
art Peter; and upon this rock
I will build my church, and the
gates of hell shall not prevail
against it. And I will give to
thee the Keys of the Kingdom
of heaven. And whatsoever thou
shalt bind upon earth, it shall be
bound also in heaven: and what-
soever thou shalt loose on earth,
it shall be loosed also in heaven”.
(Matthew 16:17-19).
In other words, “Thou art the
Rock, and upon this Rock I will
build my Church.’ ’
In changing Simon’s name to
“Rock”, then, Jesus had refer-
ence not to his character but to
IS IR THE WORLD or

his function as the foundation-
stone of Christ’s Church.
(This is the first time, inciden-
tally, that Jesus has used the
word “Church” in the Gospels.)
St. Peter, by Christ’s appoint-
ment, was to carry on as a foun-
dation-stone, bearing the Key of
the House of David—these were
two expressions saved by the
prophets for the Messias alone
(in the King Jesus Version, see
Isaiah 28:16; 22:22; I Peter 2:6;
Revelations 3:7).
In other words, St. Peter is ap
pointed the earthly representa-
tive of Jesus Christ, soon to as-
cend to His Father.

The Japan Christian University
Foundation, of which Dr. Ralph
E. Diffendorfer is president, and
Dr. James L. Fieser is executive
secretary, will begin on April 18
an intensive campaign to raise
in the United States and Canada
$10,000,000 for the “Christian Un-
iversity of Japan.” According to
Dr. Diffendorfer, it will be a
“standarizing university”, setting
standards for recognition and is-
suing academic agreements, and
relating present colleges and pro-
fessional schools to itself. The
University will have its own cam-
pus—the site has been secured
near Tokyo—and the first col-
lege will be one for the training
of teachers for Japan’s modern-
ized school system. The Univer-
sity—first thought of as “atone-
ment” for the atomic bomb—has
the approval of General MacAr-
thur and other leaders; and
many Japanese, including mem-
bers of the imperial household
are contributing to the fund. The
Foundation has headquarters at
214 E. 21st Street, New York
City.
“Colonial policies which cannot
be maintained save by resort to
military action are morally bank-
rupt”, says the Social Action
Council of the Congregational
Christian Churches. “We may
not be able to take direct action
to halt this use of force by the
Netherlands, but we can see to
it that the resources of the Unit-
ed Staes are not made available
for such perversion. The equip-
ment being used by the Dutch
army was largely made in Amer-
ica. We are engaged in a great
project to restore the productive
strength of Western Europe, in-
cluding the Netherlands, and if
this strength is to be used, dirert-
ly or indirectly, for ‘police ac-
tion’ against dependent peoples,
we stand condemned in the eyes
of the world, and especially the
eyes of Asia, as the imperialist
power we profess not to be. We
protest such misuse of American
support, and we deplore the op-
portunity this gives critics of
American policy to assert, with
reason, that temporary military
expediency rather than high mor-
al purpose lies at the base of our
foreign policies.”
The Methodist Church has ask-
ed to help in the resettlement of
5,000 displaced persons or appro-
ximately 200 family units from
Europe in about as many com-
munities throughout the United
States. They are of the 205,000
D.P.’s who are to be brought to
this country during the next two
years. Responsibility for the Me-
thodist share in this resettle-
ment has been assumed by the
Methodist Committee for Over-
seas Relief (150 Fifth Avenue,
New York City), under the lead-
ership of Bishop Titus Lowe and
Dr. Gaither P. Warfield. Metho-
dist ministers in some 40,000
communities have been asked to
sponsor these persons: to find
them homes, churches, schools,
and jobs, and to help pay for
their transportation from the
port of entry to the place of set-
tlement. The plan is to settle
each family in a separate com-
munity and to have the local
church make that family “at
home” in the community.
The new emphasis which Pro-
testant churches and their boards
of missions are placing upon the
development of rural centers as
a specialized means of reaching
the peoples of the world with the
gospel message, with medical
care, with modern schooling, and
with an economic and rural pro-
gram “where they live” is reflect-
ed in the attendance of nineteen
“seasoned missionareis and a na-
tional, educator, all experienced
in Africa or India, at the “Cor-
nell University School for Mis-
sionaries” this semester in Itha-
ca, N.Y. The School, now in its
nineteenth year, is held in coop
eration with Agricultural Mis-
sions, Inc., a Protestant body for
promoting rural mission work.
The courses include: poultry
husbandry, nutrition and health,
4-H Viubs, improvement of rural
life, vocational agriculture, home
and family life, soil conservation,
the Bible, and rural church pro-
grams. One student is Miss Akil-
la Zaidi, a native of Algeria,
North Africa, a Christian from
a Moslem background. She has
recently received the degree of
Master of Religious Education at
Scarritt College, Nashville, and
is soon to return to Algeria to
teach in the II Maten Girls
School under the Methodist
Church. Bishop Leonardo G. Dia,
head of the new United Church
of the Philippines, is probably
the most prominent churchman
in the School. Another is Dr.
Paul Remeseshan, well-known
I Indian educator.
