Even if the war ended this
very moment you still would be
doing the best thing for yourself
and ycur family by investing
the biggest
/Z~ vtaa N amount in
,i i;-.; -i i'^
point you can
not afford to
fritter away
war wages in a market of scarce
goods. New autos, new homes,
new appliances, new radios, will
not be coming off production
lines instantly the last shot is
fired by one of your tired rela
tives or friends. War Bonds will
make wonderful peace-time am
munition when tiiey mature $4
for every $3 you store away now.
P. S. Just to bring you out of
that postwar dream, take an
other look at the headlines.
There’s still a war on. You and
your money are needed to beat
the Japs. The bonds you buy to
day are WAR bonds. There’ll be
time 10 years hence for you to
think Of them as PEACE BONDS.

THE CHURCH BEGINS ITS WORK
LESSON TEXT—Acts 5:29-35, 38-40 , 42.
GOLDEN TEXT—Ye shall be witnesses
unto me both In Jerusalem, and in all
Judea, and In Samaria, and unto the utter
most part of the earth.—Acts 1:8.
The church of Jesus Christ, glori-,
ous in spite of her failings, is the
greatest institution known to this
world. That is true because while
it is in this world, the church is not
of the world, but of God. He estab
lished the church as the fellowship I
of believers to do His work in the
world. For more than 19 centuries
the Christian church has served j
Him with varying degrees of conse- |
cration and usefulness.
The beginning of the work of the
church is of special interest, for
such a study will show whether we
today are following in the right
path. We find in our lesson that the \
early church was distinguished by: 1
I. Obedience to God (vv. 29-32).
The disciples filled with the Holy
i Spirit were bold in declaring the
gospel and in proclaiming their risen
Lord. Realizing that the apostles’
message was winning the people, the
loaders of the Jews admonished
them not to speak in the name of I
Christ (Acts 4:18). When they con
-1 tinuod, the priests threw them into
prison, but an angel set them free
(Acts 5:19).
! When they were again appre
-1 bended and accused of disobeying
the command of the high priest,
I Peter and the others responded by |
pointing out that they were under I
a higher command, that of God Him-i!
self. Him they would obey, come j
what may.
Who will deny that we need a !
renewal of that spirit in the church
today? We need to lose our fear of 1
men and their little authority, and i
regain a larger measure of obedi- |
ence to God.
| 11. A Convicting Message (v. 33). i
When God’s Word is preached I
with complete obedience to Him,! 1
something is sure to happen. Men
and women will be convicted of their,)
sin. They will be cut to the heart, j
That conviction will show itself in
5 one of two ways. Some will be re
pentant and will cry out with the
jailer at Philippi, “What must I do
to be saved?” (Acts 16:30). Turn- j
ing to Christ, they will find deliver
ance from sin.
Others will harden themselves in ■
their wicked ways and become oven *
1 more bitter in their hatred of Christ !
I and the church. In our lesson we' i
’find them taking counsel to kill the
disciples. Knowing themselves to be
wrong and seeing that God’s work
revealed their sin, but not being
willing to give it up, they tried to de
! stroy the witness against them.
We see that same spirit opera
tive today. To be sure, it does not
usually show itself in such crutle
action as physical killing, although
the day when that may happen
again may not be far away.
In our cultivated time, it is re
vealed in a scholarly attack upon
God’s Word, an undermining of the
faith of our young people in schools
or colleges, or a ridiculing of those
who wish to live a separated, con
secrated life,
111. No Compromise (vv. 34, 35,
33-40).
A wise man, Gamaliel, presented
what we would now call a program
of appeasement. He urged that they
wait and sec what would happen.
At first glance his idea seems
to be most commendable, and of
course it did save the lives of the
disciples at the moment. But it was
essentially a “do-nothing” policy of
compromise. If he believed in what
the disciples were doing, he should
j have come out boldly on their side.
Notice that the believers had no
! part in this scheme. They lis
tened, but did not give assent. They
took the beating and wont right out
and preached the gospel again.
What a fine example for us to fol
low! Those who are alert to the real
, problems of the church today recog
nize that the willingness to com
promise with the world, the flesh,
j j and (so it seems at times) the devil
I himself far the sake of peace, is
destroying the real ministry of the
I church.
IV. Absolute Fearlessness (vv. 40,
; i 42).
■ The early church was a very
small group of believers with no
position of influence or power in the
world. Humanly speaking, it would
!! have been expedient for them to
I; heed the admonition now twice giv
en (compare Acts 4:18) and confine
i their testimony to a private wit
; j ness.
'I But they had hearts which \vcre
■ aflame with the fire of God, a com
mission to take the good news of
■ God’s saving grace to all men, and
the assurance of God’s presence
(see Matt. 28:19, 20, Acts 1:8), a.,d
they were absolutely fearless.
; I The world admires true courage
not only on the battlefield, but in
; the pulpit.
The criticism which men in the,
armed services make of the church ,
| centers at this point namely, that
’ the church has been too timid about
giving out the Word of God, about
i xeally believing and practicing it.

Lame Duck Congress
A “lame duck congress" was a
session in which congressmen, or
lame ducks who were defeated for
reelection, continued to participate
as members of congress because
formerly the newly elected congress
would not convene until 13 months
1 after election, that is, in December
a year and a month following the
November elections. The 20th
amendment to the Constitution abol
ished “lame duck congresses,” pro
viding, among other things, for con
gress to convene each January 3
after the November elections. This
abolishes the short session of con
gress which formerly began on the
first Monday in December. At pres
ent the term sometimes is applied
to members now in congress who
were defeated for reelection on No
j vember 7.
I It is believed the expression drift
| cd into our vocabulary byway of
. the English stock market where a
i “lame duck” was a bankrupt broker
who either could not or would not
pay his losses and such defaulters
were said to be forced to “waddle
out of tire alley like a lame duck.”
The name probably originated in
Macaulay’s “Mirabeau” wherein he
said, "Frauds of which a lame duck
on the stock exchange would be
ashamed . . .”

Bamboo Serves Many
Purposes in Orient
There is not a category of human
needs which cannot be supplied by
some form or product of bamboo.
Food, weapons, shelter, implements,
clothes, furniture, baskets and con
tainers, bridges, conduction pipes,
paper, cable, ornaments, and many
very specialized articles are made (
trom it.
Bamboo has figured largely in the
past history of Asiatic and many
tropical peoples and has been the
subject of artistic rendering in all i
the arts. The famous Bamboo
Books, containing more than 100,000
seal characters, comprising 15 dif- i
ferent works dealing with the his- :
tory of China for 2,200 years, were ’■
written on tablets made of bamboo !
which were strung together like a
fan.
To bring the uses of bamboo up to
date, a bamboo basket has been de
signed and used by the Chinese to
protect their most important build- |
j ings from Japanese air raiders. The !
Chinese construct a three-story bam
boo framework atop buildings and
load all three floors with cut bam
boo. When a bomb hits, it is harm- |
lessly detonated before it reaches
the building itself.
Washing Care Needed
For Woolen Socks
Pure wool naturally tends to
shrink a little, so it is a good idea j
to buy wool socks half a size larger |
than usual; but even at that, proper j
washing care is necessary. Never j
rub wool socks. Just press the suds i
through them, keeping to the same 1
lukewarm temperature for washing I
| and rinsing.
Another precaution is to dry the
socks on forms which can be bought
ready-made or can be cut out of
I wood or cardboard. Covering the I
forms with bath-towelling will help
speed the drying. If you do not use
forms, smooth the socks into shape,
pull them out to original size, and
lay them out flat to dry or hang
them with the feet about half over
the line.
Many women, to save time and
soap, have developed the habit of
rinsing out their menfolk’s socks
right along with their own stockings
in the bathroom washbowl each
night.
