The primary responHtv /or any such failure must I upon the leaders of the Church, is instructive to see the qualities ch made the leaders of the early trch effective for the Lord. In lesson we And Peter and John ig three things. Declaring God's Word (Acts 2: J). eter had just finished the flrst mon preached in the Church, ch was delivered at Pentecost, declaration of God's truth in the fer of the Holy Spirit brought viction of sin. It always does, iough the outward indication of j working may not be as marked t was on that day. Three thoui souls were under conviction asking what to do to be saved, hat an opportunity for the dcher and his fellow worker, n. How did they meet it? By ifully declaring the need of re- ^ tance and faith, and then of feljhip with others in the Church. dc mark of a real leader for God always be that he preaches and :hes the message of God without Iteration, without modification, with plainness and simplicity, le kind of leadership which is n magnified in the Church today which is largely made up of tonal magnetism, "pep" and fast , is not real leadership at all. ; your leaders by their faithful intelligent declaration of God's d. , Conveying God's Power (Acts t).

Thou canst use us try day and every hour. ver and gold was a scarce comity with Peter and John, as it been with many, yes most, of s servants through the centuBut they did have the blessed ilege of being channels through h the healing, cleansing, rening power of God could flow? that was infinitely better, le lame man had long since n up hope of anything better the few coins he could beg at temple gate.

Peter and John had spoken the truth and declared salvation to be only in the name of Jesus (v. 12). 1 Certain easy talkers within the ( Church who tell us that we must not i be narrow but broad enough to see salvation in all religions, had better read that verse again. Because they had preached Christ, and for no other reason, they were imprisoned, then released on condition that they would not mention Him again. What a splendid opportunity for a smooth and comfortable compromise! They could preach but just leave out Christ. Did they do it? No! (vv. 19, 20). Obedience to God wa? paramount with them, and it must be with every genuinely Christian leader in the Church. Nothing else will do, nor will it have the blessing and approval of God.

Services Need More WAVES and SPARS After tahulaing he past, month's reemit lag results for WAVES and SPARS in South Carolina. Lieut. Commander Dan Henry, head of navy recruiting for this state, strongly urges all young women who ran qualify, to redodleate themselves to the cause for which all America is today fighting, and rally to the Navy and Coast (iuard's urgent appeal for volunteers to serve as WAVES or STARS. "It appears that the majority-of the women in thlH state fall to take the women*' auxiliary of the various services serlodsly," Commander Henry stated. "Wo want to correct this now. The women who are today serving with WAVES and SPARS are performing a magnificent job. They are filling jobs formerly held by trained navy men on shore duty, thereby roreleaslng hundreds of such men for combat duty against our common enemy. There are thousands more men to he released, and we cannot win this war as fast and decisively as planned untfl we replace these men with women botwoon 20 and 35 years of age." It wus pointed out by the recruiting director, that special Women's Civilian committees have been appointed throughout the stato to aid in the drive for more WAVES and SPARS, but, that a greater uumber of applicants must be recruited before these committees can work effectively. Commander Henry added, "Other sates in this area are enlisting vast numbers of WAVES and SPARS, while we here in South Carolina have not yet awakened to1 the full Importance of the Job at hand. We must prove to ourselves and others that South Carolina's women are Just as patriotic and eager to do a Job well as women In other states of the nation."

Jarvls are WAVE Interviewing Officers at the Naval Officer Procurement headquarters In Columbia and Charleston respectively, while WAVES-SPARS applications are avallable at regular navy recruiting stations in Columbia, Conway, Charleston, Florence, Greenwood.
