"SME WASTE PHIS UNO CANS
The collection of used kitchei
fats during January set a new
record of 690,200 pounds for Re
gion VIII of War Productioi
board, L. E. Walters, region;
salvage chief, has announced but
revealed simultaneously that the
collections were still the lowest
percentage of its quota yet at
tained. The figures were re
leased in a new effort to increase
the household salvage of this vi
tal war need.
The collection of fats in Janu
ary of this year was nearly 200,-
000 pounds greater than in at
previous month. The total col
lection in this region, however,
was only 690,200 pounds as com
pared with a quota of 2,245,000
pounds.
Eats and greases, he said, pro
bably play as great a part in the
war effort as all other known |
chemicals put together.
Fats are needed to product
high-powered explosives and for
use in the compounding of vac
cines, sulfa drug ointments an
the like.
Glycerine, a byproduct of soap
which is made from fats, is used
in the manufacture of cellophane,
a grease proof paper, syniheii
rubber, sythetic resins and k.c
quers.
Oleic acid, a basic ingredient
of fats and greases, is essential
as a combining agent lor Liu
many ingredients that go mt
the manufacture of synthet c
rubber. It is also used in t
manufacture of textile fabr -
and the fabrication of synchetn
fibers now in demand tor m
tary uses and for a number
other purposes.
Stearic acid, a byproduct i
oleic acid, is th • ingredient use
in candies to make them driplt ss
and is used in making synthetic
rubber, highly peciau/, limb
cants and metallic sna .
“Both tin cans and v e
arc urgently neede d
continue to be needed for ■ ■ least
the duration of the war,” Mr.
Walters said, “oy at..,,
in this program, house-v,. c...
render a deeply patriotic a n
definitely needed service in t
war effort.”
Take waste fats to local
markets and tin cans to
stores for collection.

SAUL’S EARLY PREACHING
LESSON TEXT; Acts 9;19b-30; 11:25. 2«
GOLDEN TEXT: I am not ashamed of
the gospel: for it Is the power of God unto
salvation to every one that belleveth. —
Homans 1:16.
“A changed man”—that oft-used
expression assumes real meaning as
it is applied to one who has experi
enced the redeeming grace of God
in Christ. In a special way this was
true of Paul, whose transformed life
| amazed those who knew him before
he had met Christ on the Damascus
road.
In our lesson we find him in three
different cities, serving his new
found Master and Lord.
I. At Damascus— Confounding the
Jews (9:19-25).
“Straightway.” What a good word
to apply to the servant of the Lord.
Paul did not hesitate to declare his
faith in Christ, to proclaim that the
One who had redeemed him was
able also to save others.
It is the normal and proper ex
pression of Christian faith to give
testimony to others. That should be (
true of every believer. With Paul
there was the added element of his
call to preach, for God had ordained
that he should be His chosen vessel
for that purpose (Acts 9:15).
One is impressed by the prompt
and unquestioning obedience of so
many of Christ's followers of whom
w« read in the New Testament. No
doubt that explains their power and
wide usefulness. We could learn of
them.
Paul’s message was Christ. He
proved to the Jews that Jesus was
the Christ (v. 22), the One of whom
their Old Testament Scriptures
| spake and for whom they professed
to be looking. He declared Him to
be the Son of God (v. 20).
They were unwilling to accept the
message. They were “amazed” *t
Paul and “confounded” by the truth
he proclaimed, but they rejected
both it and him, and he had to es
cape for his life. But another city
must hear his witness, so we find
him—
11. At Jerusalem—Disputing With
the Grecians (9:26-30).
Knowing his violent persecution of
the church, the disciples in Jerusa
lem were suspicious. Perhaps there
was a measure of justification for
such an attitude, but one is glad that
there was present the generous,
open-hearted Barnabas, ready to be
lieve in his new brother in Christ
and to sponsor him in the church.
A word of admonition to the
j church of our day is necessary, re
garding the making of a new con
vert or a stranger at home in the
fellowship of the saints. There is
no need of putting such a one quick
ly into office or a place of honor,
but let him know that he is accept
ed and believed in, and thus give
him an opportunity to grow.
Paul remained in Jerusalem this
time for two weeks (Gal. 1:18), go
ing in and out, that is, in friendly fel
lowship. That is just what the young
Christian needs, and should seek.
He also had something to make
right. He had joined the Grecian
Jews when they disputed with
Stephen (6:9) and stoned him. Paul
had agreed with and joined them on
that occasion. Now by the miracle
of regeneration he is a new creature
and is on the exactly opposite side.
Now he disputes with the Grecians,
declaring that Jesus is the Christ.
What a blessed change!
They refused to tolerate that word,
and prepared to kill him. But the
servant of the Lord was kept by
Him, and delivered through the good
offices of Christian brethren. How
often it is true that the minister
must look to the brethren for that
kindness which delivers him from
distress and danger.
Paul returned for a time to his
home city of Tarsus, but when a
need of his services arose he was
called out, and we find him—
111. At Antioch Teaching the
Christians (11:25, 26).
Persecution spread the believers
abroad (Acts 11:19), and like the
scattered brands of a beaten fire
they carried the flame of Christian
ity far and wide. Thus the gospel
came to Antioch, the third greatest
city in the world of that day. A re
vival broke out, and Barnabas was
sent from Jerusalem to be of help.
Good and spiritual man that he
was (Acts 19:23, 24), Barnabas did
nothing to hinder this work of God,
but admonished the people to
“cleave unto the Lord,” that is, to
follow Him closely. Would that all
spiritual advisers had such a spirit
] and such sound judgment.
He was also wise in sensing his
need of help. So he went after
Paul, the very man to teach these
young Christians, and to lead them
out into a radiant and abundant
life for the Lord.
Here it was that the beautiful
name of “Christian” was first ap
plied to believers. It is believed
to have originally been a term of
ridicule, but even then it was a testi
mony, for it declared that these be
lievers were devoted to Christ and
concerned only with pleasing and
serving Hiip.
