ROBERT H. HARPER T Paul In. Corinth. Lessen for May 21: Acts 19:1- 13: I Corinthians 12-11. Golden Text: I Corinthians 13: 13. Pr.ul, largely '‘on his own” could turn for support when necessary to tent-making. In Corinth he found Aquila, a man of like occu pation, and “wrought” with him perhaps in partnership. He form ed a close friendship with Aquilc and his wife Priscilla. When he left Corinth for Asia Minor, these friends went with him, and Aquila took up his trade in Ephesus. He must have prospered, for his house there was large enough for Christian gatherings. At first Paul preached in the synagogue in Corinth. When hos tile Jews opposed, he formally de clared his secession from his own people to go unto the Gentiles, and he went into the house of Justus. The ruler of the syna gogue, Crispus, becoming a con vert — the hostile Jews, enraged, brought Paul before the procon sul, charging him with breaking Roman law. But that official dis missed the case, whereupon the Greek mob set upon the new ruler of the synagogue and beat him. After that no man troubled Paul but himself—at one time he must have become despondent, for a vision came to him for his en couragement. The great chapter on Love, Corinthians 13, included in the lesson text, first shows the im portance of Love by a number of contrasts, then tells of things Love will empower a man to do, and closes with the eternity of Love. But the chapter does not define Love. The Bible teaches that God is love. Manifestly man who is in harmony with God’s will takes on a nature simi lar to that of God. Perhaps that new nature may be called Love. These Are The Things I Miss From Rotalight, Marietta, (Ga.) Mar. 31. (Editor’s Note: The following article was written at my pre- Christmas request, by Roy Calli son, former Marietta teacher, now with the United States Army in Italy. It arrived by air mail last week.) As a soldier I have learned that it is poor policy to find fault with the conditions under which we live. Soldiers hate to hear one forever comparing existing condi tions with those at home. There just isn’t f.ny comparison. I’m not complaining. I’m pnly stating facts. First of all, I miss my wife, relatives, and friends. I miss the carefree days of civilian life, with its democratic principles and poli cies, the opportunity to say what I thought to whomever I spoke, the opportunity to go wherever I might desire and return any lime I wished, the chance to talk with well-educated, honest, up right, religious, happy people. I miss the well-bred Marietta school children and their happy laughter, which reflected the joy of a community upon which the dark shadow of war had not yet fallen. . I still carry in my mind the picture of our peaceful communi ty and I thank God that bombs t/0//V n w *vi \i rooAy ■I 1 iH Gulf* Bot ecf i l,B Maintenance ?!<">" Before this war is over, there may ^ be only two kinds of people in America . . . 1. those who can still set to work in automobiles, 2. those who are forced to walk.

AUGUSTA, GA. never frightened its inhabitants, that tanks have never rolled over its streets, and that Nazi soldiers have never trod upon its soil. To those of you * who have never seen hungry children roam ing through. snow-covered streets, bare-footed, ragged, and cold, the war means little. In a war-torn country that is but one of the many scenes of suffering. Nothing could be more depressing. I realize that you have had to sacrifice many pleasures, but I am thankful that all of you still have the necessities of life. Certainly I miss the luxuries of life. There are so many things I once took for granted which are now on my luxury list. How nice it would be to sit down to a table and eat good home cooking! Just sitting down to eat seems now like a strange custom of which I have read. Then I think how nice it would be to sleep in a real bed just once more—one with sheets and a pillow. That would be heaven compared with a soldier’s boudoir in a fox-hole, in a bombed build ing, or under an airplane wing. In such boudoirs all over the globe American boys think of the comforts of home, the many luxu ries they miss—ice cream cones, coca-colas, milk shakes, news papers, radio programs, heated building, happy parties, all the other little things that make life worth living. And I miss the religious atmos phere of a peaceful community which can offer a good Sunday service, with its organ music, singing, inspiring sermon, and the friendly handshake of neighbors. To preserve these things many of my comrades are giving their lives. I fight for their preserva tion because I know only democ racy makes such things possible. World peace is in my daily prayers. I have implicit faith that some day I shall return to America and enjoy its luxuries, its happiness, and its liberty. —Roy Callison. 15th, 1944 Mr. Callison is a son of Mr. E. W.

Ratrning rules now require that every car owner wiitte his license number and state in advance on all gasoline coupons in his posses sion. BOWLES ON GASOLINE E. H. Talbert, District Director of the Office of Price Administra tion at Columbia, cited a radio talk by Chester Bowles, national OPA Administrator, to spike per sistent rumors of a broad, general increase in gasoline rations. “I want to state finally that no such increases are in sight”, Mr. Talbert quoted Administrator Bowles as saying. Before the end of June we will review the situa tion again. At that time we will know more about how our con sumption of gasoline is running against the supplies which are al lotted to us for rationing. And we will also have a better picture of the supply available for the third quarter of the year. “I only wish I could be a little more optimistic. I think we have shown that we are anxious to in crease rations whenever supply of any commodity warrants it,” Bowles said. FUEL OIL RATIONS Again this summer, household ers can obtain fuel for use in their oil cooking stoves and hot water heaters even though they may have a coal or wood-burning stove available, E. H.

Many rural families, particular ly, shift to oil stoves in the sum mer, Mr. Talbert pointed out, to avoid the excessive heat that coal and wood stoves produce in kitch ens. This is especially true in homes where the householder does a great deal of home can ning, he added. -X- Conservation News (By Benj. W.
