have I spoken unto you, being~yet present with you. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, . and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto ( you,” John 14:25, 26. Go on to read Acts 2:1-4; 3:1 to 4:31; Galatians 5: 22-26 and you will have the Scripture passages for Sunday’s lesson, with Ephesians 6:10-20 as the devotional reading. PETER ACTS BRAVELY { IN THE passage in Acts we have the picture of Peter and John about to enter the temple on the _ Sabbath, when suddenly they find themselves confronted by a sick beggar. What could they do with s him and for him? He was asking for t money. Peter said, “Silver and gold g have I none, but such as I have give I thee, in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk!” . 0 The lame man stood up, leaping and walking and rejoicing, and went s into the temple with Peter and John. Only the power of God can do . such mighty works. Peter was not afraid to tackle the man’s needs, g since he relied upon God's wisdom and strength. WHY PETER WAS BRAVE PETER is often pictured as a very quick-tempered person. He was usually the first to speak in every situation. He was the leader of the group—a natural leader of men. But Peter did not assume to meet the poor man’s need in his strength. Only “in the Name of Jesus.” When we forget self and rely upon the Holy Spirit for direction, j we are enabled to meet and master any situation. Juniors will do well to remember these words, “Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of 1 hosts,” Zechariah 4:6. • ' Junior boys and girls can meet life’s tasks in the same assurance , in which Peter dealt with the lame man, if we rely upon the Holy Spirit, SECRET OF CHRISTIAN POWER «yOU shall receive power when I the Holy Spirit has come upon you.” Acts 1:8. That is the secret of ( the Christian’s power. It does not originate elsewhere. It is God’s gift ' to those who implicitly trust in him. This great truth is particularly appealing to intermediates and seniors. Young people are keenly sensitive to the times in which they live. We live today in an hour of unprecedented power — atomic energy! But all of the marvels of modern science have not been able to give young people the sense of mastery. Rather, we are afraid. The scientists themselves tell us that this is history’s most precarious age. Only when the Holy Spirit is regnant in our hearts can we possess the power of which Paul is writing in Galatians, when he says, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance." WHEN WE HAVE THAT POWER WHY, then, should we ever be weak, when we may always possess that power? This is the most searching question for any Christian. The answer will lead us to certain inevitable admissions. We become weak spiritually when we forget to pray, when we forget to read God’s word, when we allow the interests of this world to blind our eyes and deafen our ears to the reality of God’s presence. The Holy Spirit will dwell within us, if only we will welcome him. He will not come unbidden; he wiH not remain unwanted. He cannot be made secondary. Either he guides or surrenders the reins to us. /' Our lives are spiritually strong healthy when the Holy Spirit governs. Our work is effective, our words are compelling We speak not our wisdom, but the wisdom of God. We go not in our strength, but in his strength. ... it tk« lateraatiaaal Ccuaci’ deao*inauoaa.

W’estport, Conn., manufacturer, said in a speech prepared for delivery before the Los Angeles Rotary club today that effective at 4 p. m. EST she “deliberately” would stop withholding federal income taxtes from her employes' wages. "From this day I am not collecting nor paying their income taxes for them,” Miss Kellems said. She called for the abolition of the income tax as a substitute for another round of wage increases. “There are many sincere people who will censure me for breaking the law. Knowing this and having been through one new- deal smear and persecution, I still break this law. deliberately,” she said. She said the taxes were deducted as usual from the paychecks received today by the 100 workers she employs at Westport making steel and copper cable 'grips. She said a court decision would be necessary before she would do it again. “If high tax Harry (President Truman) w’ants me to get that money for him. then he must appoint me an agent for the internal revenue department, he must pay me a salary for my work, and he must reimburse me for my expen- ■ ses incurred in collecting that debt.

“I am not a tax collector and if an American citizen can be fin- p ed and thrown into prison for not n collecting taxes from his workers, 5 then let’s know about it now. Let’s see what the court has to say about this law —it’s not the first one passed in violation of the constitution.” J Miss Kelelnis said she realized she was running a fisk, but said i that she had discovered that “like \ ell bullies and blood-sucking para- c sites, those mangy, communistic a bureaucrats are at heart yellow J cow r ards. So no matter what they ' do, I'm standing on my rights un- a til the court hands dowm its ver- a diet.” There is no record of an employer previously refusing to _ withhold taxes from wages. However, a small battery shop owner once in Pennsylvania refused to pay social security taxes on his employes. The federal tax bureau seizdd one of his trucks every so often, auctioned it off and kept the proceeds as taxes. (In Washington a spokesman for the internal revenue bureau said that the income tax law made an employer a “deputy collector.” However, he refused to make a flat statement on what steps would be taken to punish an employer who refused to make the deductions. (The first legal steps would be taken to collect the tax from the employer. The government could seize property and auction it if necessary. In addition to the unpaid tax, there would be a six percent interest charge, and possibly another five percent negligence penalty, plus a S4O annual penalty on each return the employer failed to make — employers make quarterly returns for each employe and there is a $lO penalty on each late return. (If the government couldn’t col- ' lect from the employer, the indi--1 vidual employe still would be liable for his entire tax. the bureau 3 spokesman said.) 0 t Trade In a Good Town — Decatur
