People will tell you that they
like a person who says what he
thinks and tells what he believes
in. They don’t. The only time
people like to have a person say
what he thinks is when he thinks
the same as they do.

The ability to make a quick
decision is a fine achievement.
Some men stumble and halt be
tween two opinions most of their j
lives. They are unsettled most
of their lives because they can’t
decide what they want to do.
It isn’t any help to such to know
it but more mistakes are made
because of indecision than are
made because of wrong decis
ions. In most instances it makes
a correct decision more difficult.

In a recent speech General
Lewis B. Hershey expressed a
realistic view of the situation
this country will face when it
meets the world council follow
ing the defeat of the Axis.
Touching on the necessity of
having a strong armed force at
the time of the peace conference
as well as after the war, General
Hershey said: “To maintain the
results for which we have fought
will depend upon theevidence we
possess that we are prepared
with force to back our recom
mendations. Our voice in the
establishment of peace will be
heard only as it is backed by
military strengh.”

Quite frequently the unex
pected death of an individual
leaves the a (fairs of the deceas
ed in a condition that considera
ble litigation and delay are neces
sary before they can be strain
toned out. The litigation and
delay coming at a time when
there so many other details to be
looked after by the supervisor or
supervisors makes it doubly con
fusing and burdensome. The
best provision against such a con
dition is a will. Every in an whose
estate might need straightening
out or its disposition cl lied by
the court should see t> u that he
leaves a will. A will can be made
at any time and can lo '‘banged
at any time by the maker by
merely adding a codicil. A will
costs but a few dollars but court
proceedings that might be
quired to settle an estate might
cost several hundred! dollars in
addition to the delay aim worry.
Another advantage of a will h
that the owner of the estate can
dispose of it as he chooses in
stead as the court might decide
it should be disposed of. Our
advice is to go to your lawyer
tell him what disposition you
wish to make of your property
after you are gone and let him
draw up your will.

It would not be a bad thing af-1
ter the war is over to have mu
tary nun serve in the President'
chair. They will have the right
attitude abeut post-war policie
and the post war program es
pecially as it is related to th
world picture. If w* have ■
military man in the President’s
chair we won’t be called upon to
witness the spectacle of sinking
our Navy and disbanding the
Army such a- was foisted upon
us following War id War 1. Such
a man would deal with the mat
ter realistically. If we are go
ing to need anything above
another after the war is over it
is a man with a realistic attitude
toward the matters of defense
and our place in the world
program.

PAUL IN THESSALONICA
LESSON TEXT: Act* 17:1-4; I Thessalonl
an* 2:1-12.
GOLDEN TEXT: Rejoice always; pray
without ceasing: In everything gSva thanlu.
—1 Thcssalonlana 5:16-18.
Strong, active, missionary-minded
churches do not just ‘‘happen.’’ They
are the result a I the preaching of a
true and powerful message by a
faithful and sacrificial messenger.
Other factors enter in, but these are
the fundamentals.
Paul’s ministry at Thessalonica,
which is described in Acts 17 and
explained in I Thessalonians 2, re
veals what should be preached and
what kind of a preacher is needed.
Perhaps some dead or unsuccessful
church may learn the secret today
and come to new life for Christ.
1. The Message—Christ the Sav
iour (Acts 17:1-4).
Paul had already met the varying
lot of both persecution and accept
ance, and had now come to Thcs
salonica, a large and important city
in Macedonia, where he had a
lengthy ministry and established a
strong church.
What was the message which so
signally succeeded in this great
strategic center? Well, it was not
(as some modern preachers in large
cities would seem to think) a series
of social, political, or literary dis
( courses. Paul preached Christ. He
reasoned with them and presented
the Saviour (v. 3) as One who was—
1. Dead for our sin. These people
were like us in that they needed a
solution for their sin problem. There
were doubtless other questions which
Paul might have discussed, but he
wisely went to the root of their dif
ficulty and showed them “that
Christ must needs have suffered.’’
Without the death of Christ there
is no salvation for any man. Only
through the shedding of blood can
.there bo remission of sin (Heb. 9:
22).' Paul had no part in the folly of
a “bloodless gospel”—as though
there were airy such gospel.
2. Raised ftr our justification. It
was not enough that Jesus died,
marvelous as that is in our sight.
For many a man has died for hia
convictions, but none has risen from
the dead. Christ could not be holden
of the grave. He arose the victori
ous Redeemer.
3. Declared to be the Christ. He
is more than a man, more than a
great leader and an earnest teacher.
He is God’s anointed One, Himself
divine—and our Lord.
Thus Paul presented to the Jews
their Messiah, “the Man of Sorrows’’
(Isa. 53), whose resurrection de
clared Him to be the Son of God
with power (Rom. 1:4), their Re
deemer and Lord. Blessed results
followed such preaching (v. 4).
11. The Messenger—Approved of
God (I. Thess. 2:1-12).
Sometimes a man with a true
message largely nullifies its value
by the manner in which he presents
it, or by his manner of life in the
community.
1. He was faithful (vv. 1-6). One
of the great temptations facing the
one who is a preacher or teacher of
God’s Word is to let his fear of men
cause him to adjust his message, to
use a hit of flattery, to please men.
Paul was “bold in our God” (v.
2), not trying to deceive or mis
lead anyone (v. 3), seeking only
God’s approval (v. 4), not trying
to make money for himself or gain
standing with men by smooth words
(v. 5), and not claiming a high po
sition or authority over men (v. 6).
2. He was affectionate (vv. 7-9).
How often those who are faithful
and bold in preaching the truth
ruin the effect of their work by be
ing harsh and unkind. Here is a
lesson many of us need to learn.
To be gentle (v. 7) a man must
he strong. The cardinal quality of
a strong Christian should be that he
is a gentleman, or she a gentle
woman. If not, there is not real
strength in the life.
Paul gave not only a message,
he gave himself—his very soul (v.
8). The people to whom he minis
tered were “dear" to him. The
pastor who looks down at his con
gregation with hardness, and per
haps hatred for some individual,
needs to read this passage and find
Paul’s secret of success.
He labored with his hands to sup
port himself (v. 9), lest anyone
think he was a burden to them. Let
no one think that this means that
a preacher is not worthy of sup
port. Christ Himself declares that
the laborer is worthy of his hire
(Luke 10:7). But it does show
Paul's fine spirit of devotion and
sacrifice.
3. He was unblamable (vv. 10-12).
Holy in his life before God, Paul
was ready to live righteously be
fore men, and thus to stand unblam
able before them and before hi»
Lord. This indeed is a life worthy
in the sight of God (v. 12).
In other words, the preacher was
able to say to his listeners, “My
life shows you what I mean by
my preaching.” The true preacher
i of the gospel will never be satis
fied to be a signpost, pointing a
.way in which he doe* not walk.

It is a wise thing to examine
carefully the credentials of any
stranger who represents himsell j
to be a Termite Exterminator.
The approved policy of termite
extermination calls for periodical
inspection of treated premises!
for several years after treat-1
ment" since one termite ant over- 1
looked can soon infest the whole |
house. All reliable companies I
; furnish a company bond in which
, ihey agree to make the periodical i
I nspecticn and in the event ter- :
I mites are discovered give addi j
i tional tieatment. Irresponsible
: individuals h (, re today and imi e
tomorrow are not bound to
make periodical inspections
! without v hich a property owner
takes a long chance. Our advice
to any c: e having a home treat
ed for ti rmites is to know the
company doing the job is a sound
going ccrcern, and that the com
pany, and not the individual do
ing the v ork, will give a bond
guaranteeing to make periodical
inspecticns and necessary treat- 1
ment for several years after the I
initial treatment. If this prac- j
tice isn’t followed a property
owner is apt to find out that he
has paid a big price for having
had his home rid of termites only
to find that next year they are
| back again and the expensive job
must be done over again.
