But that illusion of “.low speeding” won’t help you in a crash. The result will be just as horrible no matter how luxurious the car, no matter how effortlessly it clicks off its mile a minute and better. hundied A hundred persons killed yesterday— another today—another hundred tomorrow. That is the ghastly re cord'of the dangerous automobile driver. 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.

L A V- Curb Lights the I One of the latest devices to help night driving is use of small colored reflectors facing approaching drivers tet«s e , ass s sraaMS 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. « Re-Rooi uM IT j yip&jj ZJL A— v A JH ... J '/a Your roof should not only keep yon dry—but warm too.

But the Lord knows best where we should work, and this mission down into the desert resulted in the conversion of the Ethiopian treasurer, who became the most splendid convert Philip ever made Let us not be afraid to go into the desert when duty calls there. 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 the very faith he had been at tempting to destroy, and great and splendid and powerful was Temperance has its special days when other subjects must “We fop a moment that we may fflve our attention to this great pregsinR than eyer The repeaI of tbe eighteenth amendment has not g e ttied this issue, but has unset tied it more than it ever was be fore.

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 "refrige. uted panttv” e A a ton? a ti Diiroster.

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.
