"Are ybp .the eli- out Christians aiid bring them in gible women of McCormick be-; fetters to Jerusalem, he saw at tween the ages of 20 and 49 years midday a light from heaven and] of age going to choose one of falling to earth heard a voice in] the 239 jobs open to you in the the Hebrew tongue saying, “Saul, wac and help shorten the war Saul, why persecutest thou' me?”j or are y 0 u going to remain at‘ He at once perceived that he ^Q^^g an( j lengthen it? You also heard a voice he must obey and may choose the station to which he cried, “Who are thou, Lord?’Vyou wish to be assigned, so you The reply was, “I am Jesus, whom see> the choice is yours!” thou persecutest." Then the risen | The WAC Caravan , comma „ d ed •nd glorified Saviour who thus ' b s t Marle Brad , ord and as- appeared unto him gave Saul his slsted „ Cpl Ber J ie Ward and great commission as a preacher to c Eve , Carsner , established the gentiles. Henceforth he was 1 ^ head arters ln the post of- Known as Paul—his Roman name' naturally adopted, it would seem, fice. “Certainly, there must be fey his biographer when the apos- , , ,. ae-s labors among the gentiles ca . n d0 am ° ns the were begun. In brief space comment cannot be made on all the details of Paul’s conversion and the events that followed it—these are given by him in speaking to the angry mul- jobs of Army work open for WAGS,” said Sgt. Bradford. “Very likely your experience in civilian life will be such that little train ing yrill be required to fit you for one of those jobs : . for the one titude in the temple and to King that you want; if you do not find Agrippa. Note that his conversion the work you have been trained eame through the revelation of f° r in civilian life listed in the Jesus to him and was marked by the amazing change wrought l t in him. He who had persecuted Christians took his place among the persecuted; he who had con sented unto Stephen’s death took up the martyr’s witness. < The whole of the change in his life is. itell expressed in his own words used as the Golden Text. And the explanation of his great ; career is found in Acts 26:19. Through the Remainder of his life he was o- feedient unto the heavenly, vision, And if we learn such obedience to all the heavenly light that comes In any way to us, we may also be great servants of the Lord; —X omen IN THE HURCH oylTIaril Fourier May Fellowship Day will be ob served in thousands of communi ties of thb United States by in terdenominational gatherings of Church women on May 4. The theme of all-day programs will be “Children and Youth—Leaders ef Tomorrow.” Preliminary study fey an “exploration committee”, appointed in each community study its needs and recommend action, is expected to constitute an important phase of the pro gram. Mrs. John H. Trent, of the May Fellowship committee of the United Council of Church Women, under whose auspices the observance is held, stresses the timeliness of the undertaking this year, in view of the alarming in crease in juvenile delinquency. She urges that youth, teachers, social workers, judges, nurses and church leaders participate in each local presentation of com munity problems and work to gether for their solution. . v:> -;v jobs open, we will be only too glad to. inform, you of the type of work for which yoq are suited! Remember, too, the Army , is w el prepared to train you ; in any job you may select?” , r ( , In analyzing , a point which has caused much discussion ■ among soldiers is: ‘‘After the war, .will my girl be just as feminie as be fore she joined the WAC?” Sgt Bradford said, “When peace is won, will not your • husband or father, son or sweetheart prefer you to understand the stare on his face, the emptiness which will steal over his heart at times, the sad smile with which he consid ers the huge importance people attach to very little things?” “Or would he rather,” continued Sgt. Bradford, “that you didn’t have any of his experiences, that you know none of his sacrifices, or the joys and close relationships to buddies in uniform. The choice is yours, to be sure, but you need lose none of your charm or grace; but instead gain a more thorough knowledge of the true values of character and our American way of living.” WAC information may be secur ed by direct contact with Mrs. Fannie K. McCain, your local civ ilian chairman, who will have full information for you. If you are unable to see Mrs. McCain you may write to the U. S. Army Rctg. Station, 1703 Main St., Columbia. throughout the country to ( “create public opinion 1 against such phases of a national service act as relate to the conscription of women in any form^ the con scription of labor, and the peace time conscription of young people for military service.” They are also urging Methodist women < > to work for the enactment of ade quate fair employment practice leg islation, to study child labor condi tions in their several states, and work for legislation which will enable the U. S. Children’s Bu reau to administer the child la bor section of the Wage-Hour Act. Declaring that “the Christian home is the heart of the whole Christian enterprise”, the Foreign Missions Conference of North Am erica is planning to appoint a “Committee on the Christian Home” to deal with missionary problems related to women, chil dren and home life in all lands. The missionary society of the Methodist Church in Argentina. 1 as a token of inter-American Christian fellowship, has appoint ed its first national missionary to serve in the Republic of Bolivia. She is Miss Adelita Gattinoni, youngest daughter of Bishop and Mrs. Juan E. Gattinoni of Buenos Aires. She will be located in Cochabamba where much of the missionary work is among the In dians of the Bolivian highlands.
