This Talk of War
Every man who reads the war dispatches from abroad
in his daily paper must be impressed with one fact—it isn t
the people themselves who are doing the war talking. It is
not more than a half-
dozen in number, who talk war and threaten war and try to
to make it sound as though it is “the people” who want war.
If left to a popular vote there isn’t a country in the civilized
world that would vote for war. And that is another reason
why war is what Sherman said it was—the people themselves
have no voice in it. They follow their emperor, or dictator,
or whoever happens to be in power, and before they realize
that they are being duped they are knee-deep in the blood ot
a battlefield. There ought to be a way to stop this, and
maybe it would stop if there were some means of forcing the
rulers of foreign nations to carry a gun and march far m
advance of the first squad of soldiers to. start, it out.
A Happy Promise
The old adage that a man works from sun to sun, but a
woman’s work is never done, still holds good in many sec
tions. Now Uncle Sam proposes to make it meaningless by
lifting many burdens from female shoulders. He expects at
least to bring a housewife’s labor to a par with that of her
husband through the application of electric current in rural
sections where it is not now available.
Without electricity, home making on the farm is a never
ending job. The farm woman is not only cook, laundress and
housekeeper, but also keeper of the bees and the chickens,
and responsible for the treatment of dairy products as well.
She usually is expected to provide her own table vegetables
by scratching out a kitchen garden. Statisticians have dis
covered that the average woman on the American farm now
works 64 to 77 hours a week, and gets no holiday even on
Mothers’ Day. With electricity will come running water in
the house, a refrigerator to replace the old spring house in
the saving of milk and other food; the old washtub will give
way to the washing machine, and the electric ironer and the
sewing machine will quickly follow.
There are many other electrical appliances to lighten
the farm woman’s work, and Uncle Sam, through his new
setup, the Rural Electrification Administration, proposes to
see that she gets them. And every man and woman who
knows the drudgery of farm life will rise with her and shout
“Amen!” when that day arrives.

Curb Lights the

use of small colored reflectors facing approaching drivers

outlines the road, showing drivers how far over they can go
to the right. The biggest help, however, in night driving
would be for the drivers to stop blinding each other with
the glare from their own headlights. It should be a fairly
simple thing, with modern light controls and a driving code
that is supposed to dim the bright lights on daik roads when
other cars are approaching. In practice, however, too many
drivers use blinding lights and never 1 turn them down. Thus
every passing car threatens to bring the other driver into a
collision or the ditch, unless he, too, in self defense, turns
his lights on full. The resulting eye-strain, so easily avoided
by mutual decency and thoughtfulness, is the hardest thing
m night driving.
Sunday School Lesson
Review: The Spread of Christian
ity in Western Asia
Golden Text—“They rehearsed
all things that God had done with
them, and that he had opened a
door of faith unto the Gentiles.”—
Acts 14:27.
Devotional reading: Matthew
13:24-33.
The Coming of the Holy Spirit
The time and season were aus
picious for the first meeting of the
Christian church in Jerusalem.
The human conditions were fulfill
ed in that the disciples were “all
together in one place.”
There is power in compactness.
Religion is highly catching, and
us together increases its
contagion. This little company in
this condition was an urgent invi
tation and welcome to the Holy
Spirit to come upon them and it
came as a mighty wind and as
flames of fire. They were thus all
filled with the Holy Spirit and be
gan to speak in ecstatic utteran-
Christianity Spread by Persecution
Persecution broke out in Jeru
salem with the stoning of Stephen,
the first Christian martyr. At
this point Paul makes his appear
ance in this history as he took
part in the death of Stephen.
The persecution under Paul’s
flaming zeal burst out like a con
flagration and made Jerusalem a
fiery volcano from which the
Christians fled.
Philip's Missionary Labors
The scene is rapidly shifting
from point to point in these early
lessons and we next see the evan
gelist Philip down in Samaria,
conducting a great revival. Sa
maria was a hard place to start
the first Christian mission because
of the racial and religious antag
onism that separated Jerusalem
and Samaria, but Philip went and
had unexpected success. Yet al
most immediately he was called
away from Samaria down into
Gaza, a desert and that
Thousands of conversions re
sulted, and this first revival gave
the church an impetus that start
ed it out far and wide and has not
spent its force to this day.
Witnessing Under Persecution
The preaching at Pentecost was
quickly followed by prison bars,
and the very next day Peter and
John were arrested and placed in
jail. However, they stood up be
fore the magistrates and made a
bold defense.
Peter now had his courage back
and spoke bravely to the priests,
’harting them with having cru
cified Christ.
The effect of this speech was
great beyond expectation. “They
took knowledge of them that they
had been with Jesus.”
The witness of the speech and
behavior of these disciples was
an argument that could not be re
sisted, and this is ever the strong
est testimony that can be offered
for Christianity. It is a witness
that we can all bear.

as important as doors and windows in conserving heat.
A new shingle roof, put on over the old, not only
keeps your roof water tight, but seals the heat inside
where you need it. Even if your roof does not leak

Saul Converted and Commissioned
Saul himself, on the way to Da
mascus, breathing out slaughter
against Christians he heard were
in hiding there, came upon the
crisis of his career when out in
the desert.
The Spirit fell upon him as a
blazing light and he was unhorsed
and blinded. But he received
message from the Lord as he in
stantly showed obedience to his
will, and so he received further
directions that took him into the
city and resulted in his full conver
sion and in his commission as
preacher.
Forthwith he began to preach

tionship of Christianity to Juda
ism. Some of the converted Jews
maintained that the law 1 of Moses
was still binding upon Christians,
=s Moses "SCfEi had p p
and was now done away.
The whole future of Christianity
hung on this trembling point, for
if the Judaizers had won their way
this would have restricted Chris
tianity to a Jewish sect and it
never would have reached us.
We are given an account of how
Peter, himself at first a Judaizer,
as all the apostles and believers
were, was converted from this nar
row to a universal view and thus
he became a foremost advocate of
the principle of liberty from the
old ceremonial laws in the Chris
tian church.
Beginning of World Missions
Persecution immediately result
ed in expansion. Trying to stamp
out the fire of the gospel in Jeru
salem scattered its sparks every
where and set the world on fire.
This new chapter in world mis
sions opened !in Antioch, where
first the gospel was preached
“unto the Greeks,” which marks
the point where and when the gos
pel was openly preached to the
Gentiles in a Gentile city.
No sooner was the gospel start
ed in Antioch when there came the
call of the Spirit to set apart men
to send forth as missionaries into i

the region beyond, and Paul and
Barnabas were chosen.
The call was obeyed and the
little company set forth from the
seaport at the mouth of the river
Orontes and sailed for Cyprus.
Here the missionaries worked a
short time and then proceeded
westward to the other end of the
island, where they found access to
the Roman proconsul and received
him into the church.
Turning to the Gentiles
From Cyprus, Paul and Barna
bas crossed over to the mainland
in Asia Minor and passed on up
into the highlands. At this point
Mark fell out with Paul and left
the party and went back home;
just why, we are not informed,
but Paul refused to take him along
on the next journey.
The missionaries began preach
ing in Antioch in Pisidia, but soon
had to leave because of opposition
and proceeded to Iconium and on
to Lystra, where they were offer
ed divine worship as gods, but
such idolatry was stamped out by
the missionaries. Quickly the tide
of popularity turned to persecu
tion and Paul was stoned and left
for dead.
But he got up again and went
on, and has been going on strong
ever since. A good man cannot
be kept down.
