THE CHURCH BEGINS ITS WORK LESSON TEXT—Acts 5:29-35, 38-40. 42. COBDEN’ TEXT—Ye shall be witnesses unto Ae both to Jerusalem, and In all Judejjand tn Samaria, and unto the utterm&t part of the earth.—Acts 1:8. Th? .church of Jesus Christ, glorious in spite of her failings, is the greaffiSt institution known to this world,- That is true because while it is in this world, the church is not of thfoworld, but of God. He established the church as the fellowship of believers to do His work in the world. For more than 19 centuries the Christian church has served Him with Varying degrees of consecration .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: I. Obedience to God (vv. 29-32). The disciples filled with the Holy Spirit were bold in declaring the gospel and in proclaiming their risen Lord. Realizing that the apostles’ message was winning the people, the leaders of the Jews admonished them not to speak in the name of Christ (Acts 4:18). When they continued, the priests threw them into prison, but an angel set them free (Acts 5:19). When they were again apprehended and accused of disobeying the command of the high priest, Peter and the others responded by pointing jjut that they were under a higher command, that of God Himself. would obey, come what may. Who will deny that we need a renewal of that spirit in the church today? We need to lose our fear of men and their little authority, and regain a .larger measure of obedience to God. 11. A Convicting Message (v. 33). Whgn -fiod’s Word is preached with complete obedience to Him, sure to happen. Men and women will be convicted of their sin. ThC’TV’ill be cut to the heart. That conviction will show itself in one of two ways. Some will be repentwnt _aad will cry out-with the ■ jaily at Philippi, “What must I do ito be saved?” (Acts 16:30). TurningWo Christ, they will find deliveraneb from sin. Others will harden themselves in them wicked ways and become even most bit® in their hatred of Christ andLth® <hurch. In our lesson we fincOhenr taking counsel to kill the dis®>les. Knowing themselves to be wrdHg land seeing that God’s work revfpl(jii_their sin, but not being it up, they tried to destroy the witness against them. We see that same spirit operaTo be sure, it does not usually show itself in such crude actlbn as .physical killing, although when that may happen again maij not be far away. In our cultivated time, it is reveaßd irr-'a scholarly attack upon Godfe Word, an undermining of the faitin of our young people in schools or colleges, or a ridiculing of those who"wish to live a separated, consecltted life. IH, No Compromise (vv. 34, 35, 38-#). ‘ ’ A”\vise man, Gamaliel, presented what we would now call a program of appeasement. He urgdd that they see what would happen. At first glance his idea seems to Be most commendable, and of coulee it did save the lives of the disoiples at the moment. But it was essentially a "do-nothing” policy of compromise. If he believed in what ♦ were doing, he should haVg come out boldly on their side. Notice that the believers had no part’ in this scheme. They listeHfiii, but did not give assent. They took- the beating and went right out and preached the gospel again. Wlst a fine example for us to folloMfr Those who are alert to the real proems of the church today recognize that the willingness to comprdffiise with the world, the flesh, an4*(so it seems at times) the devil himself for the sake of peace, is desftoying the real ministry of thechweh. IV. Absolute Fearlessness (vv. 40, The early church was a very smSU group of believers with no pojjjioi) of influence or power in the world. Humanly speaking, it would hafle been expedient for them to hetid the admonition now twice giv-en-4compare Acts 4:18) and confine their testimony to a private witness. Hat they had hearts which were attune with the fire of God, a commission to take the good news ol Goa’s saving grace to all men, and th*» assurance of God’s presence I (sfe Matt. 28:19, 20. Acts 1:8), and. they absolutely fearless. Jhe/Wtrld admires true courage nor-onlyjpn the battlefield, but in thfgpulpit. The criticism which men in the arlfced services make of the church centers at this point, namely, that the ehuxeiuhas been too timid about giving out the Word of God, about really believing and practicing it

Foresees Success Os Control Council Press Conference Is Held By Eisenhower Paris, June 15 — (UP) — Gen. Dwight I). Eisenhower said today he is confident the four-power ■ control council for Germany will be successful and that relations with Russia will be conducted on a friendly basis of understanding. The supreme Allied commander held a press conference here on the eve of his triumphal return to the United States. “On my level I found the individual Russian the friendliest person in the world,” Eisenhower said. "He likes to talk and laugh with us. He likes us as Allies and is darned glad to see us. I talked with the British and they feel the same way." Eisenhower told newsmen flatly that the complete destruction of German cities by bombing had been entirely justified. Eisenhower was tanned and looking fit. He wore a battlejacket with the left breast ablaze witli campaign ribbons and decorations. “Peace lies with all peoples—not with political leaders who may be trying to direct the destiny of peoples along this line or that," he Shid in typically outspoken style. Asked if he were looking forward to returning to his home town, Abilene, Kans.. Eisenhower answered: “You bet. But when I think of facing the first five days’ schedule in the United States 1 do it with fear and trembling." In a conference which lasted an hour, Eisenhower paid tribute to the overwhelming air power of the Allied forces in Europe. But he emphasized his favorite tactical theme —that there are no air, sea or land forces in the true sense, but that victory depended upon the cooperation of all branches of the service. 0 LITTLE NATIONS (Continued From Page One) Chile immediately served notice that it would have another amendiltent to offer at the commission fission. The major conference bottleneck is the committee on amendment, membership and secretariat. Yesterday it received its subcommittee’s report which called for: 1. Omission in the charter of any express provision either permitting or prohibiting withdrawal of a member from the organization, but with explanation in the minutes of the conference that the right of withdrawal was implicit. The little nations oppose this. 2. Provision in the charter for a constitutional convention to make revisions. 3. Such a convention to be called not sooner than five nor later than 10 years on a two-thirds vote of the assembly and a vote of any seven security council members, and to recommend amendments by a twothirds vote. 4. Such amendments to corn* into force on ratification by the Big Five plus a majority of the other members of the organization. o Dr. Clarence T. Simon, professor of speech re-education at ’ Northwestern university, says that 10 per cent of the nation's school children have speech defects ranging' from stuttering to inability to -produce certain vowel and consonant sounds. •

Little Texas Town Honors Hero Os War 20-YearOld Youth Paid High Tribute Farmertville, Tex., June 15.— (UP) —Audie Murphy won’t be 21 until next week. But he’s living proot that any man can get ahead in the army. Audie wears every decoration an American infantryman can get. Young Murphy enlisted as a buck private in the army three years ago just after his 18th birthday. JHe came home to Farmersville last night a first lieutenant to the accompaniment of a riotous greeting. And today Farmersville closes its business houses and opens its arms in official welcome. Mayor Fred B. Beaver will hand Murphy a SI,OOO bond, expressing something of how his fellow townsfolk feel .about Audie. For everybody loves a fighter. Audie, product of an orphan’s home, got to be an army officer and won all those medals—including the congressional medal of honor, fops in military circles —by fighting all the way. In the first place, Audie's mother died when he was a boy, Where his father is no one knows. Audie did odd jobs at Farmersville and nearby Greensville, living part of the time with a married sister, Mrs. Poland Burns, part of the; time at the Greensville orphanage. It was from the orphanage that Murphy’s two younger sisters, Nadien, 13, and Billie, 11, and hie little brother, 10-year-old Joe, came to hug, kiss and wonderingly admire their heroic brother. They say Audie alone stopped six German tanks and 250 Nazi soldiers in a one-hour battle. That was at Holtzwhir, France, when Murphy was a second lietenant. For that amazing action he got the congressional award and a promotion. Murphy also wears the distinguished service cross, three purple hearts, the silver star with clusters equalling two more silver stars, the bronze star and the Legion of Merit. Capt. Maurice Britt, Fayeteville, Ark., is the only other army man with that many decorations. Audie was somewhat abashed by last night’s turnout, and today's pending celebration. lie would rather have been over at Commerce. Tex., visiting his heart interest, Miss Mary Lee. East Texas State college student — whom he plans to visit after the mayor has his bay. But there was a rumor going around town that Audie wouldn’t have to go over to Commerce. Twnspeople said they’d heard you couldn't keep Mary away from Farmersville today. 9 _ Ohio Farmers Lose Heavily In Floods Un connection with the subject of dredging and improving of the St. Mary's river as a navigable stream, farmers in the St. Mary’s, Ohio territory have estimated that loss to their crops from floods cost them $95,000 annually. Recently, meetings were held in Fort Wayne'by army engineers who conducted investigations on the proposed river improvement, and to ascertain if communities along the river route were willing to donate or appropriate funds to dredge the river. Mayor jonn u. Stuits attended . one of the meetings. As fa'- as known no definite steps have •been | taken and congress has not appro- | priated any funds to further the ; investigation, it was learned.

According to Caruthers Ewing, A. & P. general counsel, "the loan was writ- j ten off by Mr. Hartford in his i 1942 income tax report as a bad debt” (International') Pea Jackets Sailors’ coats are called pea jackets because of the material of which they were made originally—a heavy, coarse cloth called pije by the Dutch.
