THE SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C, (FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1939 Big Show’s Train Gets Annual Blessing SUN-TAN FOR CHIEF Reverend Charles Elslander, pastor of St. Martha’s church and circus chapel in Sarasota, Fla., winter home of Ringling Brothers and Barnnm and Bailey circus, gives the big show his annual blessing as it entrains for New York. Left to right: Joseph Steier, altar boy; Reverend Charles Elslander, Reverend John A. Lynch and Reverend Patrick O’Brien. Although he’s a full-blooded Cher okee, Chief Thunder Cloud, in whose veins flows the blood of the mighty Red Hawk, has to take a daily course of sun-lamp treatments to acquire % convincing tan on his body for the title role of a new picture. Radio Amateurs Solve Communication Problems On the day of his birth Edward Noble sounds off with a lusty yell in his radio debut. The little fellow is destined to do a lot of broadcasting, for both his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. William Noble of San Fran cisco, are licensed amateur radio operators. They have s powerful radio station at their home, and the cab Mr. Noble drives is equipped with a tiny low-frequency receiver-transmitter. A small transmitter and receiver were installed in the hospital for Mrs. Noble’s benefit. OVER-BOOTED ANGLER Musical Bleats Win Prize for Pet Opening of the New York state trout season, April 1, didn’t catch young Albert Welch unprepared. Not to be outdone by the many men who were out for their first fish, the over booted angler caught this prize near Theresa with an old pole and line. While Victor Angerame, 'New York city, holds the musical instrument, “Bum,” his pet lamb, sounds off a tune on the harmonica to win first prize as the most artistic pet in the Kip’s Boys club’s fifteenth annual pet show recently. “Bum,” according to his owner, did not pull the wool over the judges’ eyes. ‘Oscar’ Grades ‘Oomph’ Behind Students’ Kisses It comes under the heading of recreation as these University of Richmond students, Margaret Harris and Kenneth Bass, submit to a test in the dynamics of kissing, which can be tested with great precision by the machine Donald Murrill is operating. The machine is the invention of Dr. R. E. Loving, a faculty physicist at the Virginia school. He calls it an oscolometer, but the students have named it “Oscar.” ‘Batter Up!’ Echoes Once More —But Woe to the Poor Batter The tharp crack «f hat harp i ball against ball resounds throughout A meric a A p-'U 17 as another big league season starts. All sum mer long the man at the plate and the man behind it face two of baseball’s toughest assignments. The photo-diagram be low shows how easily a catcher or batter can be beaned by a pitched ball which goes 60 feet, 6 inches in less than half a second. Both must think with lightning rapidity. No wonder that Mickey Cochrane lost track of the pill two years ago. Joe DiMaggio, New York Yankee slugger, demonstrates a baiter’s coordination of mind and muscle. Especially noteworthy for both safety and success is the way Joe keeps his eyes riveted on the ball from the time it leaves the pitcher’s hand. In the above two pictures DiMaggio illustrates how he puts his shoulders and full weight behind the bat as he brings the old hickory around to connect with the ball. Notice that full attention is still focused on the ball, a ride that holds true in any sport. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson By REV. HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST.

PAUL WINS RECOGNITION FOR GENTILE CHRISTIANS LESSON TEXT—Acta 15:23-39; Galatians 2:1. 2. 9. 10. GOLDEN TEXT—A man Is not Juatlfled by the works ol the law. but by the faith of Jesus Christ.—Galatians 2:18. Persecution from outside was soon followed by what was even more serious—difficulty within the Church. If Satan cannot destroy God’s work in one way, he cun ningly tries another plan. Although the first council at Jerusalem (Acts 11) had decided that “to the Gen tiles also hath God granted repent ance unto life,” the question did not stay settled, for there were persist ent Judaizing teachers who now contended that even though the Gentiles could be saved, they had to come into the Church by way of Judaism and first fullflll the Jewish rite of circumcision. I. A Serious Difference of Opinion —Grace Versus Law The story of how this vital and fundamental question came up is found in the early verses of Acts 15. The entire future of the gospel ministry was in a sense dependent on the solution of this problem. Christianity is the only religious faith in the world that presents justification by grace as the way of redemption; all others follow (more or less) the path of salvation by works. The question now was: Shall works of the law be mingled with grace—can Jesus Christ alone save men, or is salvation through Jesus Christ plus something else? How was such a serious question to be settled? Should argument and strife be permitted to go on until the stronger party prevailed? Bet ter judgment indicated the desira bility of H. A Christian Method of Settle ment—Council not Controversy There may be times when it be comes the duty of the Christian worker to take an uncompromising stand for the truth of God and re fuse to be moved, come what may. But certainly there should be no such spirit in dealing with differing interpretations of Scripture on the part of sincere and earnest Chris tian brethren. How much ’would be gained in the Church today if, instead of magnifying differehces and permitting personal desires and ambitions to intervene, men were willing to sit down in the spirit of Christ around the tables of Chris tian council and brotherhood, pre sided over and directed by the Holy Spirit (see Acts 15:28). The whole question was honestly and carefully considered by the sec ond council at Jerusalem, with the result that there was a vindication of the preachers of God’s grace. After presenting a plain disavowal of those who had troubled them and subverted their souls (what a seri ous thing it is to teach error con cerning God’s Word!), the council being of one accord, gave recogni tion to Paul and Barnabas as men who had “hazarded their lives for the name of the Lord Jesus” and were worthy of confidence and sup port. No man should think more highly of himself than he ought. Humility is a Christian grace which well be fits a sinner saved by grace. But the Bible abounds with admonitions to honor one another, to recognize the laborer as being worthy of his hire, to give recognition to those who are over us in the Lord. The brethren at Jerusalem were thoughtful and courteous enough to so honor and encourage Paul and Barnabas. We could well follow their example in recognition of faithful servants of Christ in our own church or Community. HI. A Momentous Decision—Sal vation by Grace The final decision of the council is sent not only by Paul and Barna bas, but also by a committee from Jerusalem, a gracious gesture of fellowship. Courtesy is not out of place in dealing with even such dif ficult things as controversies on Christian doctrine—in fact it should be most in place in such a situation. As a matter of record (a wise procedure in such a case), a letter was sent which, after addressing the Gentiles as “brethren,” re viewed the history of the matter and then, without mentioning cir cumcision at all, puts upon the Gen tiles “no greater burden than the necessary things.” And what were these? Those things which relate to purity of life as those who were enjoying Christian liberty. The law of Moses need not be kept as a ground of salvation. They were saved by grace. But grace can never be the cloak of •Careless liv ing, nor can liberty in Christ be interpreted as license to live in sin. We are set free in Christ, not that we may sin, but that we may “go and sin no more.” Blessed Day Blessed is the day whose morn ing is sanctified! Successful is the day whose first victory is won by prayer! Holy is the day whose dawn finds thee on the top of the mount!—Joseph Parker.
