WON’T PAY WIFE MORE JAILED
“FROM NOW ON”
Atlanta.—E. C. Driver, wheel
chair-ridden World war veteran, sat
in the court of domestic relations
here Tuesday and said he would
spend “from now on” in jail rather
than pay his wife additional alimony.
Judge Virlyn B. Moore, by whose
order Driver was ordered to pay his
wife $5 more than the S3O a month
she now receives and S4O in lawyer’s
fees, took him at his word and ord
ered the sheriff’s deputy in the court
room to place Driver in jail on charg
es of contempt of court.
Driver said he had been confined
to a wheel chair since his discharge
from the 17th U. S. Infantry at the
close of World War 1.
COLORED 4-H CLUB NEWS
The rural schools will soon close
and hot lunch kitchens will, also. I
thank the club girls who willingly
worked as cooks and maids, and gave
their recess time. 1 am sure the
training will prove helpful in pre
paring better balanced meals in the
homes. Thanks to the teachers for
help given to make the “Best Bet
ter.” I will miss them; for most of
the clufy boys and girls were enroll
ed in the schools which made it
easier for me to contact them in
larger numbers at club mettings
when I made my monthly visits to
clubs. There are 19 4-H clubs and
18 home demonstration clubs. These
have to date 1038 members. Three
hundred sixty four girls have start
ed their gardens, 200 women have
started their gardens, 200 women
have home gardens, 84 boys. This
is encouraging to know that they ]
are trying to keep the “wolf” of
hunger away.
Extension schools are to be held
in various places in the county, so
that all women may be able to at
tend one or the other to be taught
food production, preservation, health
and sanitation, child care, parent
education, and how to eat and sleep
'better. Four of these schools have
been held, and the attendance was
good; books and pencils were
brought by them to take note of
demonstration. Training meeting
held, to teach leaders how to do by
doing.
A word to all patrons of Jefferson
City school. We have been promised
anew and larger school to be built
during the summer if we can se
cure a better cite, or rather land to
build it on. It is true we are not
able to pay for the land in time to
have the school built in time for the
next term of school, and if you ex
pect others to help you, show your
willingness by signing a pledge to
do what you can to help yourselves,
then others will help you. We need
the new school, and must have it, so
get busy and show to others that
you will do your part.

To say “I think club work
Is the best work I can find,
I spend my time in working
On rugs, I hook with rags,
I made my frame of 4 sticks
With rug marked out on bags.
I sit and hook and hope,
And try to smile and sing,
If my life be like the pattern,
Will it be a pretty thing?

WE NOT ONLY CAN BUT WILL
Fort Benning, Ga.—This nation
“won the last war and if we are
called upon we not only can but will
win this one,” Major General Lloyd
R. Fredendall told 5,000 graduating
selectees of the Fourth Division
motorized today.
The commander of the division
made his address after the selectees
—largest group ever turned to duty
in the Army at one time—had pass
ed in review. The ceremony signi
fied that the men, most of them from
New York and New Jersey, had com
pleted their eight weeks of basic
training.
“I think,” said the commanding
officer, “it would give the lie to any
one who questions of our democratic
institutions to see what you men
have accomplished since you joined
the Fourth Division.”
Observing that no one knows what
the future holds for this nation,
General Fredendall concluded:
“There are people across both
oceans who do not like us. Let us
resolve at this time to make our
selves into such a tought, hard-hitting
division that whoever crosses our
path will regret the occasion for
many years to come.”

BROADENING CHRISTIAN
HORIZONS: PETER’S VISION
LESSON TEXT—Act* 11:8 18
GOLDEN TEXT—Torn Peter opened hl
mouth, and laid, Of a truth I perceive that
Cod la no respecter of persona.—Acta 10 34.
“The best argument for Christian
ity is a Christian” (Henry Drun>-
mond). Peter presented just such
an argument when, early in the his
tory of Christianity, there arose a
difference of opinion regarding his
ministry to a Gentile and his family.
The stumbling stone of offense be
came a stepping stone to higher
things, leading to the place of broad
er horizons. Peter, instead of ap
pealing to his apostolic authority or
asserting his position, simply relat
ed what God had done. He present
ed the best proof that God had acU
ally been at work; namely, a re
deemed soul.
We may learn from this lesson
that the way to broadened horizons
and greater usefulness for the
church is by
I. A Vision of God’s Plan (vv.
5-10).
All men are equally precious in
God’s sight. God taught Peter very
effectively that, whether Gentile or
Jew, the Lord is “not willing that
any should perish, but that all should
come to repentance” (II Pet. 3:9).
When God speaks we do well tcv
give heed to His message, even
though it cuts across our ideas and
prejudices, as it often does. It is
not our plan that is important; it is
God’s plan and purpose. As we
walk in that way we shall have
11. An Experience of God’s Power
(vv. 11-15).
The Holy Spirit had fallen on the
Gentiles and they actually had been
saved. Is it not singular that in the
early church they could hardly be
lieve that a Gentile could be saved?
Now we are astonished if a Jew is
saved! Why will we in our unbelief
limit the Holy One of Israel? 3
The all-powerful gospel of the*
grace of God is still saving men and;
women, Jews and Gentiles, from
their sins. Have you seen it flap-'
pen? It is a great inspiration to
faith and service. God is ready so
to encourage us —He is the same to
day as He was when He sent Petei
to Cornelius. Are we willing to run!
His errands, proclaim His message 7!
To do so we need
111. An Appreciation of God’*
Word (v. 16).
The best way to learn the mean
ing of God’s Word is to use it, live it,'
obey it. “If any man will do his
will, he shall know of the doctrine,
whether it be of God” (John 7:17).
Peter had learned anew that God’s
Word meant just what it said. We
who are God’s servants Should be-!
lieve His Word and act on it in faith.
Observe that Cornelius had gath
ered a group in his household to hear
the Word of God (Acts 10:27, 33)J
Could we not do the same? “Can-*
not each calculate with exactness,
some time and place where tire gos
pel is to be preached, and is it not!
possible to bring thither one’s rela-'
tives and friends? Secondly, when
present in a place of worship, can
not each be prepared to say, ‘We are.
all here present’—all, family and)
friends, mind as well as body; ‘in;
the sight of God’—not to be seen by]
others, not conscious so much at
others as of the presence of God; ‘to
hear all things’—not to be amused
or to sleep; ‘that have been com-:
manded thee of the Lord’—not to)
listen to human conjecture or the ex-1
ploiting of doubts, but to receive az
positive message which is delivered!
in a reverent spirit and with the!
prophetic formula: ‘Thus saith the.
Lord.’ What would happen were all}
Christian churches filled with such*
audiences?” (Charles R. Erdman),
Tnis brings us to what is most im-f
portant of all in broadening our i
spiritual horizons.
IV. An Understanding of God si
Love (vv. 17, 18).
God’s love is for all people. Since)
He has not raised any barriers of I
race, creed, color, class, or socialf
position, it is not for His followers,;
and assuredly not for His servants ’
to set up hindering restrictions r
which He does not countenance. If)
God intended to save Gentiles, Peter |
wanted to be an instrument in Hisj
hand, not a hindrance in His way i
One of the needs of our day is that f
those doing God’s work should not.)
withstand Him and His love. H- (
who is the same yesterday, today,j
and forever, is ready to work as!
powerfully today as He did in tlie-i
days of Peter and Paul, or of Finney j
and Moody. Let us give Him liberty;
to work in and through us, not as wet
may wish, but as He desires. Who)
are we that we should withstand!
