Connie Nicholas Plans New Action INDIANAPOLIS <UPH — Mrs. Connie Nicholas, refused a pauper attorney and additional time to appeal by the Indiana Supreme Court, planned new legal action today to keep out of prison Attorneys for Mrs. Nicholas said they would file a new trial motion with the high court today. The original appeal charged errors in the trial, but attorneys said today's appeal would contend that the lower court erred when it overruled a defense motion to quash the indictment. file Supreme Court Thursday said it had all but closed the door on further efforts by Mrs. Nicholas to escape serving her 2-21 year prison term for killing her wealthy married lover, Forrest Teel, 54. The deadline for Mrs. Nicholas’ appeal is Saturday. She was convicted last April 16 in Marion Criminal Court on voluntary manslaughter charges in the July, 1958, gun death of Teel, a top executive of the Eli Lilly drug firm here. Mrs. Nicholas was under orders to appear before Marion Criminal Court Judge Thomas J. Faulcone Monday, probably for com-

The apartment building manager, W.H. Wilcox, identified the body. Charles Harmon, 17, and a service station operator were credited with saving the lives of other tenants.

Bible Material: Acta 8. Devotional Reading: 2 Corinthians 5:1420. The Good News ■' IT* Lesson for November 22, 1959 a IT CANNOT be said too often: Christianity is not an organization, it ia not a creed, it is not a set of good resolutions, it is not a special kind of philosophy, it is not ideas. It produces all these, but it does not begin with any of them. It beings with good new*. We have

a first-class case in the story before us in Acts 8. At the turningpoint in that story, we are told that Philip "opened his mouth and . . . told him the good news of Jesus.” It is not said that

Philip opened his mouth and gave the stranger good advice, or condemned his sins, or urged him to turn over a new leaf, or offered him a book to read, or urged him to join a Church. He just told the good news about Jesus. Evancalism It Good-Ntws-isa The church today has a tech-nical-sounding big word which many Christians do not understand. It is "Evangelism.” When we hear the word, we think of sawdust trails, of mass meetings, ofBilly Graham and the Salvation* Army and special services at the church on the comer. We think of trained choirs and TV and teams. Like typical Americans, We want our "eyAngelism” as we want everything else, on a grand scaleand orgahfzed to the last inch. Actually, evangelism (as Billy Graham or any good minister can tell you) is a simple thing. As a famous Christian leader from Ceylon, D. T. Niles, has said, “Evangelism is one beggar telling another beggar where he can find bread.” > Some Christian people say they do not believe in evangelism. Push the question with them, and you may find one or the other of two things to be true: either they don’t understand what evangelism is, or else they don’t really believe in Christ after all—they have no good news to tell. There is a good and a bad way to run a newspaper. A critic may not like the way a particular paper ia run, but that doesn’t mean that newspaper business is bad business. Philip told his good news effectively, so much so that the name “evangelist” stuck to him. What made him so good at it ? He probably never took a “course in evangelism" all his life. For one thing, he was a man sensitive and responsive to the leading of the Holy Spirit We first hear of him when the church at Jerusalem is looking for men to appoint on a committee (Acts 6). Qualifications mentioned were that the men should be "men of good repute, full of the Holy Spirit and of wisdom.” (It would seem that being full of the Spirit and of wisdom were not thought of as being the very same thing.) At any rate, by the time the Spirit said to Philip, "Go join this chariot,” Philip knew the Spirit’s voice. It is not necessary to suppose that the Holy Spirit always speaks, or spoke to Philip then, in a voice you could catch on a tape recorder. The point is that the Spirit’s will was made known in Phillip’s mind, and Philip knew the difference between God’s direction and a notion of his own. How did this man become so sensitive to the voice of God? No doubt because he had been obedient before. H« Kmw Hit Bill* Another reason for Philip’s success is his knowledge of his Bible. It was a "rash” thing to do, maybe, for this dusty pedestrian to speak to this Very Important Personage in his chariot. But Philip felt he had the right to speak. When' he heard that official reading aloud (for that is what the Greek word in verse 28 means), in his dull treasurer’s-report voice, that sublime passage from Isaiah 53, Philip could not hold in. Do you understand what you are reading ? he cried. The distinguished stranger was too much astonished to be offended. Here he was, a man of wealth, distinction, power; but this poor hiker had something he did not have: he knew what the Bible has to say, he knew what it means. God used this man, who had the one thing needful, to convert a man who had everything but what he needed. God eaa always use those who know a ad kme his Word.

Thanksgiving Rev. J. R. Meadows Have you ever stood on a Sunday morning in an ancient, itycovered church when the mellow autumn sunlight flooded the windows? And have you listened, as I have, to the congregation as it sang that old hymn, “Count Your Blessings?” Listening, because I cannot sing, and meditating, it seemed to me that I glimpsed the spirit that has carried humanity onward through the ages; a spirit that has accepted sorrow and disappointment as tl,e inevitable in life, and, despite these things, know that there are blessings in this world and so, proceed to count them. Thanksgiving is the logical
