IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY I chool Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D, Of The Moody Bible InsUtute of Chlcaio. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) - ' Lesson for January 17 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. JESUS WINNING SOULS LESSON TEXT—John 4:27-42. GOLDEN TEXT—He that reapeth recelv eth wages, and gathereth fruit unto Ufe tier | nal.—John 4:56. Man’s need is the same wherever i and whoever he may be. The Christ who met the need of the distin ' guished religious leader Nicodemus did the same for the poor sinful | woman of Samaria. The incident at Jacob’s well in i Sychar took place when Jesus, leav ing Jerusalem because of increas ing hindrance to His work, went up to Galilee. Unlike His Jewish breth ren, who detoured around the land of the hated “half-breed” Samari | tans, He “must needs go through Samaria," for there was a sin-sick soul that needed Him. Our lesson abounds with instruc tion regarding soul-winning, both in principle and in practice. We here find Jesus: I. Winning a Soul-Winner (vv. 27- 30). The faithful and kindly ministry of Christ led the woman to faith in Him as the Messiah. She left her water pot and ran at once into the city to share her new-found joy with everyone she knew. Since the first expression of spirit ual life is testimony, the one who brings a sinner to Christ not only saves a soul, but also wins a worker for Christ. One fears that we often assume that winning men to Christ is enough. We should expect that the new light should shine forth into the darkness. So we have a two-fold reason for soul-winning; saving a soul from perdition, and setting a life on fire for testimony. It’s a great business. Why don’t we do more of it? 11. Instructing Soul-Winners (vv. 31-38). This work of soul-winning requires a sustaining grace which this world cannot give. Jesus by His own ex ample showed His disciples how that strength comes from above. He who ha*l seated Himself at the well, tired and hungry, to await the return of the disciples with food, had been refreshed in the doing of the Father’s will—in reaching this for lorn woman. “The greatest thing that ever occurs in the world is the transformation of a human soul, and the greatest joy anyone can ever have is to act as the divine agent in bringing about such a transformation” (Douglass). There is another thing these soul winners needed to learn—even as we need to leam and re-learn it— that the time to win souls is now. How prone the human being is to procrastinate. Tomorrow—next Sun day-next week, We will speak to someone about his spiritual need. Next year we will give more liber ally for missions, or for the work of soul-winning in our local church. But “look on the fields.” Do you not see “that they are ripe already unto harvest”? Again, soul-winners need to re-' member our Lord’s words in verses 36-33. Not only the reapers receive the reward, but also those who sow and those who labor in order that the harvest may come. The man who plows is just as important as the one who reaps—perhaps some would say more important. Some of us who are culled to be God’s plow men should remember that and be encouraged in our labors. Like the perfect leader that He was, Jesus did not require of His disciples what He did not do Him self. So we find Him again in the work of evangelism. He practiced what He preached. HI. Practicing Soul-Winning (vv. 39-42). There is real danger that those of us who have a measure of leader ship in the church may be quick to tell others what they ought to do— i and not do it ourselves. This is, particularly true in this matter of j soul-winning. One is apt to write, preach and teach about it, and then neglect to do it. The disciples had been to tow r n { for bread. One wonders whether; they had talked to the store-keeper about Christ. Have you? Jesus did not theorize about it— j He really sought men for God. The testimony of the woman He had won sent a host of people out from the city. He spoke to them the word of life and they believed. This was evidently “group evan gelism” as distinguished from the “personal evangelism” which won the woman. They are both impor tant, and belong together. Some are saying that the days of group evan gelism are gone. We doubt that, but certainly the days of personal evan gelism are always here. Let us be busy about that kind of soul-winning —and God may so bless that we will have a real revival. Are you ready for it? The Best Prayer He praycth best who loveth best All things both great and small: For the dear God who loveth us, He made and loveth all. —COLERIDGE. BITTER END Although she knew there was no "love lost between her son-in-law and herself, she wrote to say she was coming to stay “for duration." And she didn’t leave him time to reply. But as she drew near the house, she saw a big crowd. Pushing her way through, she blinked iq conster nation at a heap of burned debris and charred furniture. ‘‘Dear me!” she gasped, her lips drawn tight. ‘‘l never thought he’d go as far as that!” Perfect Specimen Doctor—What was the most you ever weighed? Inductee Hundred seventy-five pounds. Doctor—And what was the least you ever weighed? Inductee Seven and a half pounds. SAVING ’EM »o d j r 10 000 1 \ " n o-o a • /\ Ml iw ny! geag W wo? -tSSm ‘‘How are your New Year’s reso lutions?” ‘‘ln fine shape.” ‘‘None broken?” “Guess not. How could they be? I haven’t used them yet.” Horse of Another Color Hubby—What’s that you’re read ing about a man who swapped his wife for a horse. Wifey—That’s right. But you wouldn’t ever think of that, would you, dear? Hubby—Of course not. But I’d hate to have someone offer me a cou ple of new tires! Speaks Welsh, Too Bobby—Our family comes from all over the world. Betty—How’s that? Bobby—Dad cofhes from Amer ica, Mom from England, the maid from France, the cook Sweden, the nurse Canada and the baby wails. Universal Trouble Harry—You just can’t trust any body these days. Why, the grocer gave me a bad quarter in change today. Tom—Let me see it. Harry—Oh, I haven’t it any more. | I gave it to the milkman. If You Don’t Believe It Susan—l wonder what those cello- I phane gloves in the window are sup posed to be used for? Sally—Probably so you can put them on and wash your hands with out getting them wet. Traffic Violation Mr. Smith—You know Jones was arrested for turning a corner yes terday. Mr. Black—There’s no law against that. Mr. Smith—But there wasn’t any corner. Before Rationing Joan—What’s become of the Hik- 1 ers Club? Betty—We had to give it up. It j was too hard to find a motorist to give us a lift. OLD LAMENT “Say, Pop, Santa Claus must have a hard time to get all the presents he gives.” ‘‘He has a harder time paying for them.” Bite on This One Bill—Wanta hear two Indians w’hoop? Jim—All right, go ahead. Bill—Whoop! Jim—Where’s the second Indian? Bill—He didn’t give a whoop. Don't Mention It Bobby—Mom, the ladder in the back yard fell down. Mother—You better tell your fa ther. | Bobby—l don’t need to. He’s hanging from the window sill. Natives Cured Disease Through Vaccination Oriental sore, caused by another protozoan, is found in many coun tries bordering the Mediterranean sea, in Ethiopia, the Sudan, the Con go, the Near East, southern Rus sia, India, and northern Australia. It was early noted by the Jews of Bagdad that persons who had re covered from one Oriental sore sel- j dom experienced infection with a second. This fact led to their intro duction of vaccination against the disease, a procedure which has since had wide use. Mothers infect their children on some hidden site and thus safeguard them from the possibility of later contracting dis figuring facial lesions of the dis ease. Protection once secured en dures for at least several years. Areas where malaria, yellow fe ver, and dengue fever occur can be rendered inhabitable by controlling the mosquito population. This is an enormous task, even for small communities. But since many kinds of disease-carrying mos quitoes are primarily house-dwell ers or dooryard dwellers and do not characteristically fly more than a few hundred feet from their birth place, their control is not beyond human capacity. Large-scale measures also are profitable. Swamps can be drained or ditched. Waters which cannot be channeled can be oiled, or sprayed with paris green or other larvicide. The waters can also be stocked with fish which feed on mos quito larvae or with plants which presumably are repellent to egg laying adult mosquitoes. Caucasus Soviet Nalchik Important Agriculturally Nalchik, captured by Nazi forces ) in their Caucasus drive, is in the center of the Kabarda sheep and cattle-breeding region on the north ern slopes of the main Caucasus ridge. It is the capital of the Kabar dino-Balkar republic, one of the patchwork of small, autonomous states that crowd the Caucasus re gion, says a National Geographic society bulletin. Twenty-five years of Soviet gov ernment in Russia have brought many changes to Nalchik, although it has remained primarily an agri cultural center. First of the changes was an experiment in education. ! Lenin directed the setting up of a University for the people including schools of agriculture, industrial handicraft, teacher training, and a “school of the Soviet party.” A second change for Nalchik was its development as a Caucasus re sort town. This was natural be cause it is near the high Caucasus peaks, Elbrus, 18,471 feet, and Ush ba, 15,400 feet, and because it is in the center of a mineral springs dis trict. j State Liquor Revenues Increase State liquor tax revenues, headed for a probable decline with the ban on further production of whisky and other distilled spirits during the war, increased 26.8 per cent during the i first eight months of 1942 compared with the same period of 1941. Total 1942 collections from levies on spirits, wines and beer up to August, last month for which com parative figures are available, stood at $144,530,000 for the 26 states studied, while for the first eight months of fast year they were $113,998,700. Whisky collections in 22 states mounted nearly 31 per cent; collections on wine in 17 states, 30 per cent; collections on beer in 26 states, 16.8 per cent. Revenues from spirits cannot now be expected to continue their in crease, since present stocks of dis tilled liquor comprise total supply for the war period; however, a larg er consumption of wines may occur and bring revenues from this source to a higher level. The four “monopoly” states re porting Alabama, lowa, North Carolina and Ohio, which sell liquor ( themselves instead of taxing its pri -1 vate sale—showed much greater | revenue increases for the first eight j months of this year over 1941 figures ■ than the tax-levying states,'accord j ing to the analysis. Tunisia’s Northern Coastal Plains The coastal plains of the north, facing Italian Sardinia, are much narrower than those of the east. In j places the northern mountains rise I steeply from the very waters of the 1 Mediterranean, while back of the eastern ports of Sousse and Sfax, southwest of Sicily, the mountain country begins 50 or more miles in land. Much of the southern half of Tunisia—roughly V-shaped as it runs to a point between Algeria and western Libya—is a land of low, sandy desert and barren, rocky pla teau, from 200 to 650 feet high. Only in a few isolated spots is there higher country, rising in one place to an altitude of more than 2 000 feet. We Learn From the Shark A single soupfin shark stores in its cold-blooded liver enough vitamin A to supply 30,000 humans with their average daily requirement. The human body has, of course, much lower storage capacity for vitamin A and D, which are known as fat soluble vitamins. But it stores very I little of the other essential vitamins 81, 82, P-P and C and so these must be renewed In your system daily, nutritionists say. They are the so called “water-soluble” vitamins, wnich are easily lost. j CLASSIFIED ADS For Sale—Fryers, 2 to 2 V* lbs. Delivery every Friday. Call or write Mrs. J. T. Overton, Elko, Ga.

Ga. 1:28 (ladehud Rosebud is eight, and the most | beautiful shade of caramel fudge, i To her loving Mammy and Pappy she is known, on approximately al i ternate days, as “Angel” and “You I devil child”. It was on her devil child days that Rosebud tied the knots in the shirts that Mammy had taken in for washing, and poured the whole of the vanilla bottle into the j lamb stew, just, she said later through bitter tears, to “flavor it up 1 some”. On her angel days Rosebud is equally imaginative even if a more restful occupant of the little shack down on Vinegar Hill. Once when aa Mammy was out # doing day work, Rosebud got a wave ox cleaning fever and scoured fjY J'jjl every pot and pan Tk in the kitchen so -/ 1 that they literally j glistened. Anoth er day, left alone, she tidied up ! Mammy’s and Pappy’s room to such | a point af apple-pie order that it was a week before Pappy could find an j undershirt. Rosebud is a great reader of the | newspapers. Mammy and Pappy I don’t take one, but there are plenty | of perfectly good newspapers blow : ing round Vinegar Hill. It was out of one of them that Rosebud got her ; idea for spending the ten cents the : Bunny had put under her pillow the night her tooth came out. After breakfast Rosebud disappeared down the Hill and reappeared soon after with a beautiful ten-cent War Stamp pasted firmly into a brand-new book with neat little squares for more stamps. She displayed her invest ment to Mammy. “I declare you’re ■ an angel child,” Mammy said. Rose j bud went on sitting on the kitchen ; floor staring with large brown eyes at the empty squares in her book. From time to time she took hold of one or another of her teeth and wiggled it, gently. Mammy was engrossed in a par ticularly big washing. Rosebud was as quiet as a mouse and Mammy forgot about her until, coming in from the yard with her arms full of dry sheets, she encountered her child with a large hammer in her hand. Scenting the devil in her angel child. Mammy shouted at her, “Rosebud! Come yere with that hammer! What you planning on doing?” But what was done was done. In Rosebud’s other hand was another tooth. Her mouth was stretched in a broad if slightly bloody smile. “I ain’t doing nothing, Mammy,” she said. “I’m just filling up my stamp book.” (Story from an actual report in the files of the Treasury Depart ment.) • • • Say yes.
