HUY THAT EXTRA BOND TO DAY GENERAL IKE IS BEGGING FOR A.M.MI NIHON. —o The government has preliminary plans for locating more than 100 all pm t«* in Indiana and several cities till- size, including WinChester and Hartford City, have already been listed for 1300.000 ports. How about finding out about it? Perhaps Adair.: county could still be included. o—o Ail churchi - in America are urging that people read th. Holy Bcrip-tur.-i* .uni .1 spec ial campaign along that line ha brought a plan to read a c hapter trom the Bible each day between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is good for any one and millions are joining in the program to turn men's minds along that line. —o Presldel t Roos, velt has asked congress to appropriate 375.90tt.000 to be loaned to c ities, counties and state- for postwar improvements that will provide labor. Highways. | public building- -ewer systems, parks and other things needed will be iinatn c-d through this fund if I th* appropriation w provided a- It no doubt will. —o According to a London news- • paper Gelieraiismo and Mrs, ('hiring Kal-abek have separated for good, tha' M Kai-shek may make h< r home tn Mi.i.ni and make a tour m this country telling th< people of the real political situation in China. Just what ba been going on bi hind the scenes over there is not. clear but evidently hasn't brought succi -s. O—O Trallh volume oil Indiana highways showed a dect'i e of only 2•> percent for October thia* year as compared with die same month last year. This is the slightest change noted for any month this year in comparison with the corresponding month of 1913. The traffic survey is made by the State Highway Commission from 23 automatic counters located throughout the state. O—O Gene ral Eisenhower la sending twenty-seven of his seasoned veterans home Io tell the people how badly ammunition is needed in larger amounts if we are to win the war the next few weeks or momhe These men know for they have been in the thick of the battles for several .years and their stories told In their own language should make every one dig deeper to meet the sixth bond quota.

Ned C. Johnaon of this city had a thrilling experience when he bailed out at 10.000 feel from a Superfortress on which he was a gunner and landed in the Gulf of Mexico I forty miles off Biloxi, Mississippi H All of the crew of eleven jumped and Ned was one of three picked I up several hours afterward. The ' pilot brought the disabled plane down at Kessler Field minus one engine. Corporal Johuaon will sure H have an interesting story to tell. —O—- - Congress is trying to find out r why there is a cigarette shortage i I and the more they investigate the ’ mn-e perplexing the problem aeems j to be. There Is plenty of tobacco, t cigarette paper, less exporting and I the crop of tobacco was large this r year. Os course labor enters in but the amount manufactured this year was largest on record. Some one must be holding out. but why? I .Manufacturers and distributors mat be called In to help provide the information. O—O—Final liquidation of the Provident Loan Company, now in procesa. brings to mind the fact that there is a field for such a financial institution in this community. The De- ' caftir Building and Loan company was disolved a few years ago and the present action leaves the field clear. The next decade will be a building era. perhaps never equalled i.tid there will be demands for such service* as a loan company can provide. Under new laws all funds are guaranteed by the fed- ■ ral government and such a busin< ss would provide an additional means of providing capital for those who wish to build or improve properties. O—O Thane in a position to know tell us the war In Europe will not lie over foi several months and that the war In the Far East has just gotten off to a good start. Before Japan is subdued there will be many big battles on land and sea Il’s not a time when America can settle down to a long winter’s nap j much ay most of us would like. We must continue to do our best here at home and a little more. That's the way the boys are winning their battles and that's the way we must win ours and help them to keep up the good work. This Is just the time when our enemies thought wt would give up. Show them we haven't by more than meeting the Sixth War Bond quota. -0 Stcte Pensions: Indiana is the only state among the northern group, eant of the Mississippi, which does not yet have a retirement pension system for the employes of the state M.issai husells led the way about forty years ago and New York and I*» nneylvania followed soon after The test of time ba» proved that these plans are workable. In 1943, the states of Illinois. Michigan and Wisconsin adopted pension retirement plana based on the combined best features of the older system. This modern proposal is the one which is now being outlined for Indiana in a brochure published by the state personnel division. The purpose of the brochure Is to arouse discussion and interest, and the backers of the proposal are hopeful that the 1945 general assembly will see fit to enact into law this highly progressive step In state government. They can argue, on the basis of experience In twentytwo other states, that the retirement plan not only helps to attract a higher type of personnel, but helps to retalu these individuals In the state service. In a number of states, the provisions of the plan extend so far as to permit smaller political subdivisions — counties, cities, towns and township*— u> participate In the peusiou system on the same basts as the state empioyoa.

WORLD-WIDE CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP LESSON TKXT—John 17: 18-33; I Corinthians 1:1-1-. it 47. IX 13. GOLDEN TEXT—Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word: that they all may be one —John 17 XO. U. Unity among tha believers In Christ Is much talked about and desired by many in the church. They seek a single Christian communion In the world, or at least a gathering of all Protestant churches in end body. Such outward unity may be Impossible to attain, and in fact might be quite undesirable if it did not express a unity of spirit and of true faith. That tact however, should not hinder us from seeking a world-wide fellowship of all believers of every race and creed in the unity of the Holy Spirit. The true church, the Invisible body of Christ, is not divided, even though its members are scattered in many denominations. We arc reminded in our lesson that whatever else may be true about us, we (that Is, all believers) are united in Christ We are: I. In the World—but la Christ (John 17:13-23). Even as Christ was sent of the Father into the world to be the Light of the World, so we are here in the darkness of sin and sorrow to shine as lights for Him (Matt 5:14-16). He did not pray that His disciples (and that includes us, v. 20) should be taken out of the world <v, 15) but that they should be kept trom sin in the world. So we are in the world. But let us never for a moment forget that though we are In the world we aro also in Christ. He will give us—in fact He has given us—grace and glory so that we may represent Him In the world. There is to be a oneness about believers (v. 21>, not alone because of their good (blessed as that may bei), but in order that the world may know and believe in Christ (w. 21, 23). The obvious corollary to that truth is that every evidence of division and friction between God's children is an opportunity and an excuse for the world to deny the truth of the gospel. "Behold how these Christians love one soother" wss the baffled testimony of the pagan world in the early days of the Christian church. They could argue with their philosophy. and question their theology. but they had to admit that something had happened to these people which made them really love one another 11. In the Church— but Christ (I Cor. 1:1-3). The church, even in Its outwsrd form of loesl assemblies and denominations. has a place of great importance in the world One could certainly not find a more wonderful body of people nor more satisfying opportunity lor service than that afforded by the church. The ones to whom Paul addressed this letter were members of "the church of God which Is at Corinth." but they were what is of infinitely greater importance, "saints"—those who had been asnctlfied. or set apart from this wicked world, in Christ Jesus. This glorious distinction was not theirs alone, but belonged to “all that call upon the name of the Lord Jesus in every place" (v. 2). Here again we have that fellowship and unity in the love of Christ which transcends all other relationships and which ignores the boundaries of race, color, social position — yes, even of church membership. No matter who or where another believer may be. Jesus Christ Is "their Lord and ours" (v. 2). One could shout "Hallelujah—Praise the Lord!** for such a delightful communion of all those who love Him. 111. In Service bat tn Christ (I Cor. 13:4-7, IX 13) God has work to bo done In the world. To accomplish that work. He gives diverse gifts to men. How wonderfully He endows and calls men and blesses them In Mis service 1 We can think of nothing mere satisfying than to serve Him. But even here wo must keep in mind that the Important thing is that we are not individual stars to shine In our solitary glory. No indeed, we are only a part of a great plan and purpose being carved out by "the same Lord" (v. 9). We are called, commissioned end sent by the one Holy Spirit (v. 7). We are "one body” <v. It), baptised by the Holy Spirit Into that blessed relationship. and it is that body of Christ which is at work in the world to do His will. Nor does that in any ray minimise the glory or the value of what we are called to do. On the contrary, it enhances our celling end «n---eouregM us to greater endeavor. We are net alone. We are in the Larfu aervtee. yes; but firtt of ail we are in Christ, and that means that wo move forward with ’a great

| garde a person’s capability. No person is frozen into a position simply because ho Is included tn the pension system. The pension system is simply a recognition by the government of the long-proved it>duetrial application of retirement pension insurance. That Is what this plan is—an employe-employer pension system to which both contribute. Judged on its record in other states. It is a proved plan, a workable one, and a highly commendable one.—lndianapolis Star. o * RU RAL CHU RCHES * •- • Calvary Evangelical Church F. 11. Willard, minister Sunday School, 9:30 a. m.
