Subscription, $1.50 per year, Payable In Advance Entered at the Post Office in! Perry, Ga., as Mail Matter of Second Class. LIGHTS OUT A young woman, her mother, an Italian officer, and a Nazi trooper were in an Italian train. It came to a tunnel. As soon as darkness en veloped the compartment, a kiss w r as heard—followed by a hard slap. When the train emerged into sun light, the passengers’ thoughts were , these; (1) The Nazi: “Those mad, ro mantic Latins. How dare he kiss that girl. How cowardly, to try it only in the dark." (2) The girl; “The nerve of him, trying to kiss my mother. I’m glad she was able to defend herself.’’ (3) The mother: “So they’d kiss my daughter, eh? Well, I brought her up properly, and I’m glad she took proper action." (4) The Italian: “It was worth kissing my hand, just for the oppor tunity of slapping that Nazi.” NEW ANGLE “Ah, may I hope that you will be mine forever?" “Yes; but really, won’t you be discouraged from hoping after I marry Henry?” Keeping Up With (he Joneses A young naval officer home on leave was discussing arrangements for his wedding. Mother, who was anxious to make a good show, exclaimed: “Tom, don’t forget when the cake is cut you must help the bride to cut it with your sword.” “But,” said Tom, “I’ve not got a sword—only a revolver.” “Well,” said father, “I can see naught else for it lad. ThaTl ha’ to shoot it!" Knows Her Business It happened in New York’s lower East Side. “How many seasons are there?” asked the teacher. “Just two,” answered Rachel. “What are they?” inquired the puzzled instructor. “Slack and busy,” replied Rachel. New Species She was making inquiries at the post office as to her prospects of an Old Age Pension at 65 years of age. When the assistant asked her how old her husband was she thought for a bit, then she replied: “Well, he’s a septic-geranium, as you might soy.” Consolation “Yes, Mrs. Jones, it’s true my j husband has left his job in the bank. I He thought it was his duty to enlist. Anyway, he’s burned his bridges.” "Oh, well, I shouldn’t worry about that. They’ll provide him with a uniform.” Higher Education Poetic Co-ed—Don’t these early autumn days fill your heart with sad ness? Sophomore—Sure thing!

LUNDQUIST, D, D. Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for June 6 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by j permission. PETER COMFORTS PERSE CUTED CHRISTIANS LESSON TEXT—I Peter 3:13-17; 4:12-18; 5:6-10. GOLDEN TEXT—For It Is better, If the j will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing. than for evil-doing.—l Peter 3:17. What shall we do? Where shall we turn? Is there no help for us? Such j are the natural and understandable cries of those who bear the heavy heartbreak of persecution. God’s Word has the answer, for from the very beginning the followers of j Christ have had to meet that prob lem. Peter is especially the apostle of comfort, and the portion now before us is rich in helpful instruction. His word to persecuted people is five fold. I. Do Not Be Afraid—Christ Is Lord (3:13-17). By doing good the Christian will escape much suffering (v. 13), but if even then it comes, he is not to be afraid (v. 14). He is to sanctify Christ in his heart, that is, fully recognize the holiness of Christ and all that He is and can do for him. This is to be done in his heart. That means the exercise of full faith in Christ the Lord as the indwelling Presence. Who then can be afraid? Note that this is not just a sub jective spiritual exercise for his own j enjoyment—it will show in his “good manner of life in Christ” which will put his persecutors “to shame” (v. 1G). How effectively that has worked only recently in Germany, Norway and elsewhere. 11. Do Not Be Surprised—the En ! emy Will Attack (4:12, 13). Surprise attack is effective. Re member Pearl Harbor! Satan is an expert in strategy, and is eager to keep Christians in an easy and com fortable mood, so that he may strike a vicious blow when it is not ex pected. We best prepare to meet him when we recognize that perse cution and suffering will come. Wo are to boar in mind that it is not some “strange thing” which has happened; we who suffer as Chris tians are “partakers of Christ’s suf ferings.” Joy and glory are ahead. 111. Do Not Be Ashamed—You Suffer for Christ (4:14-16). Sadness and depression rest upon the one who suffers for his own evil deeds, but those who suffer for Christ’s sake may be ever rejoicing. Can you not see that “the spirit of glory and the Spirit of God” are resting (v. 14) even now on some who sit in prisons and concentra tion camps? What a glorious pic ture of His grace! It is proper to observe here that the believer is not to be guilty of that which justly brings the law’s condemnation (v. 15). Do not fail to note the last of the list of crimes— “meddler in other men’s matters.” Has not just that caused endless trouble in the church, and harmed its testimony before the world? Let’s quit meddling! IV. Do Not Worry—He Carcth for You (5:6, 7). Worry! Worry! How it does crowd itself into our thinking. Yes, we know we are Christians, that we arc unjustly accused or persecuted, that we are suffering for Christ’s sake I i That’s all true, but how is it all com . ing out? What about my family? Will they harm my children? If I do survive will I bo able to start life anew? And so on—questions with out end; and soon comes the corrod ing touch of worry. What shall we do? The answer is plain. Cast nil your care on Christ —“He careth for you” (v. 7). That takes an act of faith just as it does to become a Christian in the first place, but it works. The cure for all anxiety is right there—but it can only be reached by the path of humility. “Humble yourselves” (v. 6). there is the gateway to comfort, and to true exaltation in God’s own good time (cf. Jas. 6:4-10). V. Do Not Waver—Got! Is Your Strength (5:8-10). Steady, perfected, established in Christ, sure of his eternal destiny , and with the eyes of faith seeing the glory to come—such is the man who is ready and able to meet the devil when, like a roaring lion, he seeks to disturb and devour God’s people. The believer should be ready and equipped. That docs not mean that the Chris tian sits with his hands folded wait ing in a fatalistic way for the in evitable to happen. Never! He is "on the alert" with his spiritual ears at tuned to hear the approach of the enemy's “bombers.” He is “sober and watchful” against the “roaring lion" (v. 8). Satan is unusually busy in our day. Alert Christian people see his deadly onslaughts on their breth ren, which are possibly more severe now than for many years. He is seeking to break them down physi cally, mentally and spiritually, to make them fearful, to make them | timid about work for Christ, to limit their usefulness, and to steal from j them their victorious assurance. He is busy—let us be alert against him. I ★ ★ f WltcU you Buy. Milk WAR BONDS Wigwag Frequently the Navy, the Coast Guard and the Signal Corps finds it expedient to relay messages without benefit of telephone, telegraph or radio. That is when the semaphore system is employed. Like a single flag in the “Wig wag” system, the purchase of a War Savings Stamp or Bond, in it self has an infinitesimal effect upon the entire war effort, but when 130 million determined people set their minds to make our War Bond drives successf>v the result is anything but infinitesimal. u.
