Genesis 2:3. u Many rich folks are, after all, poor folks with a lot of money. 0 The success of the rationing program is built on the assump tion that all men are honest and patriotic. It is easy for a chisler and pseudo patriot to heat the ration program. It has no police force waiting around the corner to pick up violators and chislers. Patriotic conformation to the pro- ( gram is a matter of a man’s con ■ science and his patriotism. o In this war all roads lead to Berlin and Tokyo. The person who does the best he can do every day finds his best getting better and better, 0 The world is using about seven million barrels of oil a day. That looks like enough oil to oil up any world to make it run more smoothly than the world is run ning today. 0 We sound off a good deal about, the hardship and disadvantages and the inconveniences and harassments of today, tut while we are at it, it might he well to remember that a few yetrs hence we may he looking back and re ferring to these same days and conditions as the good old days. 0 The person who always thinks before he speaks may not be so quick on the trigger as the fol low who doesn’t, hut as a rule he has less regrets for fool remarks, 0 We are passing through a pe riod in this country wh in nearly everyone is having to do his own work. This will probably con tinue for the duration. The only remedy in sight is for no indi vidual to take on any more than lie or she can do himself or her self and let the rest go. 0 The time to begin pa ing for a Victory garden is at h d. The slogan of Victory garde is should be to make this year’s garden bigger and better, especially in view of the fact that the allot ment of canned foods for civilian use will be cut 43 per cent this year under the allotment of last year. We do not recall anyone who has gone broke buying good farm land with cash. Many have gone broke going into debt for farm land or by buying poor land, but | a good piece of land bought, right is the world’s soui dest se-, curity. | It isn’t the job it used to be to | keep up with the Jones’ since they have only an “A” card. -O- The slogan of the South Pa- j cific forces is: "On to the Philip- j pines.’’ The taking of the Phil ippines by McArthur’s forces will be a major disaster to Japan, second only to the loss of Tokyo. 0 Remember when the fellows who said we would one day be at war with Japan woe referred to as jingoists? 0 We would like to see the c in collectors start a concerted move to collect all ti e steel pennies. We have bem ising the c pper cent for so long that the black steel pennies just don’t look like money. i improved'™"™ ; UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY I chool Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, D. D.

PAUL BECOMES A MISSIONARY LESSON TEXT; Acts 13:1-4; 14:8-20. GOLDEN TEXT: The Holy Spirit said. Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whcreunto I have called them.—AeU 13; 3. Mon are God’s instruments for ac complishing His purpose in spread- I ing the gospel message. They must, for such a high and holy calling, be men called and prepared by Him, faithful to Him, and willing to sac rifice all for His glory. Paul is a great example of such a life. He was— I. Separated by the Church (13; 1-3). God was about to begin the great missionary enterprise, which opened with the journeys of Paul and con tinues to this day. The church at Antioch had capable men in its membership, and the Holy Spirit called for the separation of two of these, Paul and Barnabas, for a special work. A number of Interesting things emerge here. It is good to note that I the church had men trained and J ready for service. Do we? Observe that the Holy Spirit j worked through the church. There are those who do not speak too high ly of the place of the church in this matter. Certainly it is true that if the church has lost its vision and | message, God may call men even outside of its membership. But the orderly way—and God’s way, if the church is ready—is to have the church separate men for service. The church at Antioch gave its best, without question and without hesitation. It is an example worthy of our emulation. 11. Sent by the Holy Spirit (13:4). There is a sense in which the Holy Spirit functions as the executive member of the Trinity. His purpose is to magnify the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, to bring men to faith in Him. To carry out that plan, He sends men out to speak of Jesus. The sent one is always successful, for he goes the way, at the time, and in the power of the Holy Spirit. To be sent by Him is the mark of distinction upon the Christian work er. 111. Serving by Deed and Word (14:8-18). The story of the healing of the man who had been a cripple from birth centers around that beautiful word “faith.” God is always looking for faith in men and women, and so we who serve Him should learn to be alert fur even the slightest indication of n belief in Christ. All too often we blunder along, a bit too eager for action, or too insistent upon a thing being done in just our way, and thus fail to see the gleam of faith to which we may address the gospel appeal, "Seeing that he had faith” (v. 9), Paul turned all the power of the eternal God loose in the impotent feet of the man, “and he leaped up and walked.” God help us to be ready to be channels for the outflow ing of His power! Impressed by the miracle, the people wanted to accord the disci ples the worship of gods. One is im pressed both by the promptness with which Paul and Barnabas stopped the demonstration and the skill with which they improved the occasion for a testimony for Christ! The servants of Christ are in far greater danger when men speak well of them and would worship them, than they are in the hour of opposition and persecution. Not that anyone would suggest that a true word of appreciation or honor be withheld from a faithful teacher or preacher, but let it bo given for God’s glory and not for the praise of man. IV’. Suffering for Christ's Sake (14:19, 20). The highest praise quickly turns to the most hitter hatred. Finding that they had foolishly attempted to deify two Jewish preachers, and being i visited by the Jews who made it I their business to pursue Paul to this | city, they stoned him. Incidentally, it is of interest to I observe how zealous people can be for an evil cause. Having set out I to hinder the gospel they were will ' ing, yes eager, to spend time and | money to carry out their purpose, j The children of Satan are often more diligent than the children of light i (cf. Luke 16:8). Paul was left for dead; in fact, i there are those who believe that he was dead, and that it was at this time he was caught up into the heav ens and had the vision spoken of in II Corinthians 12:1-4. If that was the case, the raising of Paul was an actual resurrection from the dead. For a man so stoned as to be left for dead, to arise and journey on j the following day to another city, was a miracle of God’s power. In this case, God delivered His servant, not from his troubles, but through them. We must not always | expect to he saved from trial, but I we can be sure that God will deliver us either “out of” or “in” our trou- i hies. Let us trust Him! 1 HELP BELL AIRCRAFT j CORPORATION BUILD | GEORGIA SUPER BOMBERS WANTED—IMMEDIATELY Men and Women with Draft ing Experience or Training, Knowlege of Descriptive Ge ometry (3-dimensional draw ing) to train for aircraft lofting.

This April 5, 1944. JOHN L. HODGES, Ordinary We saw a rabbit recently lo6k ing for something to eat. Wheth er the rabbit has any breakfast, or lunch, or dinner, depends upon whether he will be able to find something to eat. It may take him all day rustling to the utmost just to find enough to eat. It perhaps does. All the while the rabbit is searching for a few morsels of food to allay his pangs of hunger he must keep a sharp lookout for hunters and other! enemies that would prey upon him. As a result he lives in a constant fear and apprehension and hunger. But for this thing w>> call civilization we would all be like the rabbit living from hand to mouth with nothing ahead for tomorrow. No pro tection from those who would prey upon us, no security. The overhead, incident to civilization, and our present day way of life, seems sometimes to come pretty high, but in the light of what it buys it isn’t so much after all.

Needle in Back Mystery William Stevens’ doctor, in Arapa hoe, Neb., is the fellow to see about looking for a needle in a haystack. The doctor pulled a sewing needle out of Stevens’ back after Stevens I said he had been bothered for a [ | month by a sore spot.
