c t REV. 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

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.
If you want to be in the fortunate group who will still be
riding to work in automobiles, join Gulf’s “Anti-Break

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.

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

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
