Harper THE FIGHT FOR CHRISTIAN FREEDOM | Lesson for February 19: Acts 15: ! 1-6, 22-29; Galatians 2:16 ‘ ‘ t - . . Memory Selection: Galatians 5:1. After Paul and Barnabas, had re turned from the {irst ' missionary journey, certain men from Judea stirred up quite a controversy in the i Antioch church, claiming Gentile I converts should be circumcised. Paul | and Barnabas - were sent to Jerusa- I lem to ask for a decision on the jnat- ter. Quite an important church council was gathered. Some, who had been Pharisees, contended that Gentiles should be circumcised. The council decided that circumcision should not be required, but took action to re quire Gentile converts to abstain from the use of the meat of animals offered to idols and from blood. They should also keep themselves from fornication. Thus they should bear witness against idolotry and against the wide-spread vice of the time. In its wise decision the church council did two things—it allayed contention in the Church and freed Christianity from the burdens of Ju daism and freed the church for world conquest. Paul was the first to see Chris tianity as a. world religion. We find his great deliverance concerning Christian liberty in the close of our lesson text. We are to be justified by faith in Christ alone. This doctrine Paul set forth and Martin Luther, John Wesley, and others re-discover ed it for the world. The plain mean ing of justification is pardon. May our faith be true and our pardon as sured. And may the church magnify this doctrine of salvation through the faith of Christ.

C., Feb. 11.—The state 1950-51 general appropriations b.il is “in status quo,” Senator Brown ci Barnwell reported today. The chairman of the State Senate finance committee gave no indica tion o^when the committee may fin- ash rewriting the $112,567,557 bill sent to it by the House of Repre sentatives. He probably doesn’t know himself. He did say* he does expect the com- 1 mfttee to get through with it next! week. * The committee has to consider the serious state financial problem re vealed by the state’s Budget com mission. It’s a problem familiar to anyone who has tried to follow a budget. Too much going out, too little com ing in. The state already has agreed to spend about $5 million more this fis-j cal year than indicated tax collec-' tiens, the commission said. Deducting appropriations that will) ■expire b%fore June 30, and other var- j iafcles, the commission arrived at ai probable $3,617,000 operating defi cit for the year. Brown has said repeatedly he fav ors a balanced appropriations bill. That means one with a total not higher than anticipated tax collec-j tions in fiscal 1950-51. He and other legislators have tagged the House bill as about $6^ million out of bal-! ante. As- the commission pointed out,! there are apparently but three prac- i ticsble solutions: More tax money i immediately, an over-all cut in thej spending or using the $3,992,000 gen- erla fund surplus. Governor Thurmond b as declared in favor of spending the surplus to stay on an even financial keel. The Budget commission — Thurmond, Brcwn, and Representative Plowdenj ot Clarendon, House ways and l means committee chairman—says a general cut in spending would work a hardship on state employees. Many legislators have told report ers privately that spending the sur plus seems the simplest solution to this year’s problem. The 1950-51 problem of balancing the budget may not be grappled with for sev eral weeks yet. ■ '** ' ' „ * Plans Completed For Erection New Lourens Hotel The board of directors of the new Laurens hotel announced this week i that final arrangements for construe- j tion of a 36-room inn-type hotel' have been completed and the hos- 1 telry may be ready for use next fall, i Frank C. Moore, who operated ai hotel in Laurens 25 years ago and more" recently ~Ras operated ‘hotels • in Florida, will lease and operate the | hotel to be known as the Henry Laurens Hotel, the announcement ^ said. Three years ago a community cam paign was made in LaurerfS when about $132,000 in stock subscription was raised and the board will borrow about $80,00. The directors deferred building until they felt the time would be more opportune, and that time has arrivedp Secretary L. C. Barksdale said - !' ,,, _ It is expected thit plans will be ready within 60 days for release to general contractors for submitting bids on construction costs and that actual construction will be started before summer.
