Yes, The Co-operative Program Is Scriptural EXECUTIVE SECRETARIES In New Testament times we find the twelve and later Barnabas and Paul also called apostles (Acts 14: 14). But the apostolic age closed with the first century. In the New Testament, Peter is the secretary for missions among the Jews while Paul held the same position for missions among Bentiles. “James and Cephas (Peter) and Joohn.. gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship, that we should go unto the Gentiles, and they un to the circumcision (Jew)” (Gal. 2: 9). This was the agreement made at the first great association or convention held at Jerusalem. Paul and Barnabas were to direct the mission work among the nat ions, Peter and John among the Jews. After Peter’s death John Suc ceeded him, and after Paul’s death Timothy became secretary, or su perintendent of missions, in Ephe sus, directing the program for the state of Asia. After Timothy’s death John assumed the leadership in Asia. He was so strong a de fender of the true gospel that he was banished by the Imperial Gov ernment of Rome to the island of Patmos (Rev. 1: 9). John was the secretary, or promoter, of Christ ian mission program; he was the magnetic leader and so was exiled. MISSIONARIES The Co-operative Program works through missionaries in the state and out to the nations. We have hundreds in our state fields, scores for the Home Board among the Indians, Jews, Mexicans, and other foreigners in the homeland, and hundreds on the foreign fields in China, Japan, Italy, Palestine, Braz il, Chile, Argentina, Africa, etc. Is this scriptural? See Luke 10: 1-3; Acts 1: 8; 8: 1-40; Matt. 28: 19—20 Especially see Acts 13:3; “Then, when they (certain leaders in An tioch, not the whole church) had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they fthe leaders) sent them away.’’ But notice, these leaders were led by the Holy Spir it who said to them tv. 2), “Sep arate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.” In this case the prophets and teachers sent forth the two 1 apostles .Barnattae and Paul.

Mr. Roy P. Otwell Cumming, Ga. Dear Roy: You good people were most con siderate and helpful in sending over your fire fighting equipment to help us fight fire last Wednes day. It looked rataher hopeless for a while when our home fire truck and equipment caught fire and couldn’t be restored to service. 1 I was out on the front when your truck droye up, and it took its position near a hydrant beyond the corner of the mill office where it could fight the blaze from this end. They were able to control the fire and keep it from coming this way any farther, and I feel that we are very much indebted to your equipment and your fine men in keeping the fire off of the house adjoining our office and thence off of our office, and no telling where it would have gone from there. It was a terrible experience and there was a heavy loss entailed, and I am writing to thank you per sonally for any help that you had in getting the equipment over here. And I wish you would express to each member of the force our thanks and deep appreciation for what they have done. It certainly meant a lot to us. If you are ever placed in a similar position, which I hope you never will be, I hope you will find our boys here ready at your side fighting along with you like your fellows were. Again, thank you very much. With warm personal regards. Sincerely LOUIS JONES. Huiet Bans Beach Attire For Job Aid Applicants Labor Commissioner Ben T. Huiet Friday advised persons ap plying for unemployment insurance not to show up in bathing suits, play suits, shorts or “dressed for the beach.” “The job insurance law requires that for claimants to be eligible for job insurance, thtey must be ‘available” for employment at all times and be ready to apply for and accept suitable work when of fered." Suiet said. “We’re not telling anyone what or what not to wear, just pointing up some hints which might prove ihtflpful to both male and female claimants. “Not so long ago a man, tem porarily out of work and a claim ant, reported to one of the offices in swim trunks. He was denied job insurance for that week.’* Huiet added that claimants should be dressed so that the employment office could "immediately refer them to an employer” if the job is available.
