Yet the Federal tax on long distance and other telephone service goes as high as 25%! The tax on luxuries is only 20%. That means the necessary long distance telephone call you may have to make in an emergency will be taxed higher than luxuries. And that is only part of the telephone tax picture. Federal tax increases your local service bill by 15%. Long distance calls of 25c or over are taxed 25%. Other forms of telephone service are taxed from 8 to 25%. This excise tax is imposed directly upon you as a telephone user. Your telephone company, at its own expense, acts as a tax collector. These excise taxes are in addition to the corporation income taxes and other taxes which the company pays to the federal government either directly or indirectly. We are sure your Senators and Representatives in Congress would welcome your views as a taxpayer and citizen in helping them to guide future action on this peacetime tax of a necessity. > UNITED TELEPHONE COMPANY INCORPORATED FLOYD L.

Gospel Goes West Lesson for Feburary 12, 1950 SO YOU DON’T BELIEVE in foreign missions? Then you can’t read the New Testament with any comfort. Every book in It was written either by a missionary, or about missionaries, or to missionaries. or to be used in mission work. Chapters 18 and 14 of Acts tell us 1 about the first or- I tanized foreign H mission project in y the history of the Christian church. It is the story of how the Gospel I was taken out of | ' -Ahe narrow strip coastland along Dt - Foreman the eastern shore of the Mediterranean, where it was born, out into the western world. • • • The Best They Had •FHE FIRST missionary party were not raw untried men. They were Barnabas and Saul, the top leaders of Antioch. These men had done a great work in Antioch; their usefulness there was not at an end by any means. But the church sent them away to win souls elsewhere. It is a mistake to suppose that- just anybody will do as a missionary. Ignorant people who suppose that missionaries are only the “culls” of the chnrch -don’t know the facts. A few years ago a scientist, Ellsworth Huntington, made a study of the graduates of Yale and Harvard who were successful enough to be written up in “Who’s Who in America.” He found that missionaries’ sons furnished the largest proportion of those successful men. The reason for this, he believed, is that only in missionary families do you find that both parents, and not just one, have to go through a rigid sifting process. Only the best —mentally, morally,- physically—are accepted by the church today as missionaries. • • • Strategic Centers SAUL, or Paul, who came rapidly to the front 0 in the missionary team, was all for efficiency. He never did a thing the hard way if an easier way would save his energy. So we find him heading for the great centers of population. In the synagogues he would find the most religious people in the city, people who already believed in the One God and who took seriously the Law and the Prophets. Barnabas and Saul stuck to cities for another reason also. Not that they despised small-town folk, but they knew that cities are where the crowds are. For every dozen people they could reach in a village, there were hundreds to be reached in the cities. So today, mission work has generally concentrated first in the most heavily settled regions. • • * The Follow-Up SAUL AND BARNABAS also set the example for later generations in their use of the “followup." They did not suppose that simply converting people was enough. There had to be second visits. Some churches Paul visited as many as five times. They would appoint officers in every church. They knew that organized religion is more likely to last than disorganized religion. They were not fly-by-night evangelists, leaving behind them only an ebbing wave of emotional excitement. -Every rose grower knows that it is better to put a 10-ceht rose in a 50-cent hole than to put a 50-cent rose into a 10-cent hole. So Paul did not stick little seedlings of new Christians into barren ground at random; he took pains to see that they were solidly planted in good rose-beds. • • • The Holy Spirit THERE IS ANOTHER, and most important, way in which this first missionary effort has set the pace for all since: From beginning to end, they depended on the Holy Spirit. It was the Spirit who first suggested the idea; it was the Spirit who gave the power, and furnished the guidance. Not that the Spirit was or is a substitute for human effort. But to this very day, if you want to find persons who knew about the Holy Spirit at first hand, who know what it means to depend on the Spirit and to be used by Him, then get acquainted with your church’s missionaries. What to so many of us churchgoers is only a name, to them is the deepest reality by which they live. 1 AUTOMOBILE REPAIRING AND PAINTING I Reasonable Rates All Work Guaranteed LYLE KELL Phone IMI-J Next to Sargent’s Hotel
