Oolden Text: Acts 13:2. Paul was the first to see Chris- Ranity as a world religion, and he gave it that character during his ministry. The lesson today shows how Paul became a missionary. The Holy Spirit led the Antioch cbitrch to send out Paul and Roroabas. Great results attended ttieir work in Cyprus. The Roman j— consul believed. The sorcerer, for opposing the disciples, was smitten with blindness. John Mark, who accompanied Pfcal and Barnabas to Cyprus, mam left them and returned to Prom Cyprus the dis- iples sailed for Attalia, visited ’•?ra, a few miles inland, went dh to Antioch in Pi^ldia. 4,ul preached & great sermoit-4n he synagogue there (recorded in hapter 13) and many disciples /ere made. But, driven from the ity by an agitation stirred up by inbelieving Jews and going to xnium from which they were Iso forced to flee, they went on o Lystra. There Paul restored a lipple and aroused such interest hat the people cried that the 'ods had come down in the formj pf men arid the’~priest of Jupiter ame out to offer sacrifice unto hem. With difficulty, Paul re gained them. Later, Jews coming rom Iconium and stirring u\ .rouble, Paul was stoned and cast ,ut of the city. At first it was elieved that he was dead, blit he evived and went with his friends into the city. Paul and Barnabas now retrac- td their steps, visiting the cities where they had formerly preach ed, and eventually returned to Perga, “confirming the souls cf he disciples” and completing the organization of the churches they had formed. From Perga they went down to Attalia, went by sea to Seleucia and thence over-land to Antioch in Syria. It was doubtless with great joy that they gathered the church and told of their great journey.

Of War Bonds Cashed In Christie Benet, Chairman of the South Carolina State War Finance official report from the United States Treasury showing that only 7.79 per cent of all Series E, F. and G war bonds have been cash ed In by their owriers. r The Treasury report released by Mr. Benet follows: * “Uni tech States savings bonds (defense and wao*), Series E, F and G, were firs! 1 issued on May 1, 1941. Since that date, through March 31, 1944, cumulative sales total thirty billions, 612 millions of dollars. “Redemptions (or cash-ins) through March 31, 1944, total two billions, 384 millions of doUars, or 7.79 per cent of -cumulative (or total) sales. “Therefore, 92.21 per cent of the funds invested in Series E, F and G bonds since they were first offered for sale is still invested in these bonds. “United States savings bonds (defense and war) Series E, cum ulative sales aggregate over 21 bil lions, 200 millions of dollars. Re demption (cost plus accrued in terest) through March 31, 1944, total two billions, 166 millions of dollars, or 10.20 per cent of cum ulative sales. “As of March 31, 1944, 89.80 per cent of the 21 billions, 200 mil lions in bonds (Series E) placed remain in the hands of the pub lic.” X Democratic Clubs To Meet April 22nd The Democrats of South Card- lina will reorganize in April and Committee, has made public an take the initial step in setting up W. OUTH CAROLINA X-ttcv. y a long way from South Carolina Jmt in so many ways it’s mighty close Pus. Our men are fighting all over the Jorld — our factories and farms are producing an endless stream of supplies out troops depend upon. But even that isn’t all — it wouldn’t be enough! We have so much more to do right here in South Carolina—jobs that are up to all of us, jobs that must be well done. In the 4th War Bond Drive, for instance, South Carolinians bought $66,000,000 worth — 22% above our quota—but we’re keeping right on buy ing more and more! We’ve gladly given bur money to the Red Cross—and hun dreds of thousands of hours of our time to making surgical dressings and kits for our men overseas. We’ve supported and worked for the U.S.O. and various war relief groups. We’ve built and maintained an efficient Civilian Defense organization. We’ve STROM’S CUT-RATE DRUG STORE Phone 95 McCormick, S. C. collected scrap and rubber, tin and fat? Whatever has been asked, South Caro lina has done — and then some! The men and women of the Greyhound Lines, like their fellow-citizens of South Carolina, have shared in all of these activities. They’ve also shared in the vital job of moving wartime manpower —in uniform or in work clothes. On special occasions they’ve transported U.S.O. Camp Shows and brought part ners to camp dances. Greyhound buses —by making near neighbors and good neighbors of all the communities they serve in this State — by linking cities, war plants, farm centers, and military camps and bases — are helping to keep South Carolina’s war efforts rolling to ward Victory! Hitler’s Pals BREYHOUND the machinery to conduct the ap proaching primary elections. County conventions will be held throughout the State on the 1st Monday in May, which will be the 1st day of May.

A President, a Secretary, an Executive Committee and oth- :r committees must be appointed at this time so provided by law, also, an Executive Committeeman should be chosen at this vtime to serve for the next two years.
