One beer manufacturing company has resorted to "premium distribution, to boost its sales. For 150 topsfrom bottles one may receive a-pair o f silk Stockings. The something-for-nothing idea, always questionable, certainly falls down in this case. No numbers o f pairs o f silk stockings could com­ pensate for the possible moral break­ down hidden in 160 bottles, o f beer.. “ Sissies” “ Don't you find it exceedingly difficult and embarrassing to avoid drinking when you are out in a large group,” said a business man to a business friend whom he knew to be a stal­ wart Christian.- The Christian friend soon told him that refusing- to drink did not bother him in the least and that he had never been twitted about it.. Far too many men are afraid of what their drinking companions wilt say if they refuse so they acquiesce, often to their sorrow. Young folks [are fearful o f being called “ sissies” 1 if they hold .out against. the crowd when a beer parlor is visited or sug­ gested. That is a dangerous attitude io carry through life.

BROADENING CHRISTIAN HORI­ ZONS: SAUL’S CONVERSION UBSSOH TEXT—Act* #:Mfc ' , GOLDEN TJSkT—I was not disobedient unto-the heavenly vision.—Acts 18;19, The conversion o f Saul is recog­ nized as one o f the outstanding events, in Bible history. When two brilliant English lawyers, Lord Lyt- tleton and, Sir Gilbert West, set out tp disprove the truth of Christianity, they selected the resurrection of Christ and the story Of Paul’s con­ version as the focal points o f their probf. Working independently, they then catrifc together to compare notes, and found that they had both become Christian? as they had be­ come convinced- of;the truth of the Scriptures. 'The two events may well stand together as mighty evidence for Christianity, for only on the ground of regeneration can the change in Saul be accounted for, and only on the assurance that he met the risen Christ on the Damascus road can we account for his conversion. This is a -great lesson,' let us make the very most of it. 1. Saul, a Hold Persecutor (w . .1, 2), -As our lesson opens we find the brilliant -and zealous young Jew, Saul, “ yet breathing out threafen- ings and. slaughter against the dis­ ciples o f the Lord.” The persecu­ tions hi Jerusalem had practically Wiped out the church, in that ,city, but had scattered the disciples abroad, and thus the witness had been spread. The death of the godly Stephen, to which Sahl had given his. approval, had only increased his determination to destroy those who were "o f the way” o f Jesus. Looking for new fields to conquer, he car­ ried with him to Damascus letters from the high priest at Jerusalem, . giving him authority to imprison the followers o f Christ, But on the way he met Christ Himself, and was stricken to the earth. H. Saul, a Convicted, Sinner (vv. 3-9). Stricken down by a brilliant heav­ enly light, he finds himself talking to the Lord Jesus. He hears from His holy lips the solemn indictment of those who persecute God’s peo­ ple—“ Why persecutest thou m e ? " He-who lays unkind hands upon, or brings untrue accusation against, God’s children had best beware;’fo r so closely is our Lord identified with His people that'when they suffer,.'it is He who bears the hurt. In a single sentence the Lord dis­ poses of the persecuting zeal and the sinful skepticism o f this proud young Pharisee, and Saul enters into Damascus pot as the haughty per­ secutor, but as a man trembling and astonished. He spends three days shut in with his own soul and God, not seeing, not caring to eat, but entering into communion with God. By God’s grace the old life is pulled up by the roots as it is displaced by the pew life in Christ Jesus. III. Ananias, an Obedient Disci­ ple (w . 10-12). Ananias was' the " I am here, Lord” type of Christian to whom the Lord could confidently commit His important business. All we know of him is what is contained in this chapter, but it is a very beautiful and enviable record. God is able to work directly on any human soul and accomplish His end (as He did with Saul on the Damascus road), but His usual manner bf working is through faithful human agencies. One wonders how much would be accomplished for God if every Chris­ tian were as willing and ready as was Ananias to do the Lord’s bid­ ding in. seeking out and helping a struggling soul. The greatest of all Christian lead­ ers, the apostle Paul, was led out into his life of loyalty and service to Christ by a humble layman. Re­ peatedly God’s Word by precept and example stresses the vital impor­ tance o f personal work on the part of laymen and women. The lead­ ers of Christian work during the com­ ing generation arc now in the Sun­ day school classes of our churches, perhaps lit a little wayside chapel in the country, In the village church, In the mission or settlement house, or In the great city church. . IV. Baal, a Chosen Witness (vv. 15, W . The fears o f Ananias that Saul might still be a worker of evil (v. 13) were Soon overcome by God’s assurance that in the praying Saul He had prepared for Himself “ a chosen vessel” (v. 15) to bear the gospel to the Gentiles and to kings, as well as to Israel. The great witness of Saul was to be accompanied by great suffering. HoW often the two go together, and both may .be.(as they were in Paul’s life) for God’s glory. Saul knew nothing of that subtle hypocrisy known as being “ a secret believer,” for at once he made open confes­ sion of his faith in baptisrh, and "straightway .he preached Christ in the synagogues that he is the Son Of God" (v. 26), W id b in s tB ii (U ontwuso Wmm Fnwr P a « ) o f govarmaaot; D*#pft» all thi* many o f the civil and urn-defeat* depart­ ment* and-ageoeiee « f goveenmeat ar* today spendtac more money than ever before and are now coming to Con­ gress requesting increased appropria­ tion*. No real attempt is being made to reduoe the coat o f thair operation* or to eliminate unnecessary expendi­ tures, waste and extravagance. Be­ cause o f these conditions the.Republi­ can Congressional delegation from Ohio has determined to refuse to vote for, or support, any nofi-defense or non-emergency appropriation for any department or agency o f government that permits the-spending o f more public money than appropriated for the same purpose in previous yeans- The Ohio Republican delegation further pledge* to use every effort to reduce appropriations and expendi­ tures whenever and wherever possible and to insist that -strict economy and efficiency prevail in the conduct o f public business and in the spending o f public funds. It is the firm belief o f the delegation that at least a billion dollars a year can be saved by such methods without in any way injuring the public service.” NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS ■Stateof Ohio Department of Highways Columbus, Ohio, May 9, 1941 Unit Price Contract- Federal Aid Project No. 659-B (1) NOTICE OF PROCEEDINGS FOR DIVORCE Leora Berta Peterson residing at 1025 Pearl Street, Denver Colorado, is hereby notified that the undersigned Olnir A, Peterson lias filed his petition against her for n divorce in case num­ ber ,22520 o f the Common Plena Court of Greene County, Ohio, and that said cause will be for hearing on or after the 20th day o f M ay, 1041.
