Bible Comment: Even Paul Sought Training for His Life in the Church 1>AUL was not long in finding ^ Christian friends although at first the disciples feared him be cause of the recent zeal he had shown in persecuting them. But Ananias, a saintly Chris tian in Damascus, welcomed Paul as a Christian brother. Ananias had been prepared in a vision for the coming of Paul but he doubted, at first, that so terrible a persecutor as Paul would become a disciple so sud denly. The disciples in Jerusalem were a little harder to convince. They had suffered much more from the fury of the persecutor and were suspicious. It was Barnabas, the rich disciple who had given all his wealth for the Christian cause who vouched for Paul. It was not unnatural that Paul’s former associates in per secution should have been aroused to a high pitch of anger at Paul’s defection. Their fury was so intense that Paul’s new found Christian friends had to help him escape, letting him down from the walls of the city in a basket. Paul made his way to Jerusa lem and again boldly proclaimed his new faith in the Lord Jesus. But he did not stay very long in Jerusalem and his public preach ing was interrupted while he sought fuller preparation for his life’s mission. It is difficult to think of a man as intense as Paul being in re treat for any length of time. Probably the years of his prep aration were spent in studying, praying and conversing with other men. In this way he would have the opportunity to feel his way into the fullness and rich ness of his activity as a mission ary. There is a very good lesson for all of us in the fact that so wise a man as Paul felt that he need ed preparation. Zeal, even in a man of Paul’s stature, is not enough.

Much Topsoil Is Washed To Sea By BETTY VAUGHN Whether you live on a farm or in the city you know what hap pens when it rains on bare slop ing land, whether in the back yard along road cuts, on the school grounds or in the fields. The water that runs off is always mud dy, the color depending on the color of _ the soil. Water run ning off these eroding areas is dis colored with soil material carried in suspension. Such soil is swept into the streams and reservoirs along the streams. Part of it goes into the ocean and, part is laid down over rich bottom lands and lower slopes. We have lost approximately one- third of our topsoil through this process of water running over unprotected land. We are still losing soil In great quantities from fields, overgrazed pastures, unprotected idle lands, and burn ed over woodlands. There are many ways in which we can help save topsoil. A good crop rotation is a basic require ment for soil and water conser vation on cultivated land. It con sists of different crops in a regu lar system that will reduce eros-. ion and keep the land productive. One crop, or a series of crops, helps the next crop. Strip crop ping is planting alternate strips of close growing crops, like grass or clover, between clean-tilled crops, like corn or cotton, on the contour. The strip of close grow ing crop holds the water and thus helps check erosion in the clean- tilled strip below. The close grow ing crop also strains soil out of the runoff from the clean-tilled strip above. Drainage of fertile land is an important part of soil and water conservation. Open ditches, both deep and shallow, and tile drains are most common ly used on the potentially produc tive cropland that is waterlogged. Soil and water conservation can be effective and permanent. But in order to get the job done right the work must be done on whole farms, acre by acre, according to the land’s capability and needs. Singers Be Heard Over AFR Network Joe Morris, Program Director of Radio Station WKDK, has just received word that the station is to be heard by U.S. Armed Forces at overseas bases around the world on Tuesday, June 30th via the Armed Forces Radio Service. The Program will be titled . . . “Way Back Home.” The broadcast will come about as a result of a letter written by Airman Kernie Wessinger of New berry now serving WTtb the Air Force somewhere in the Pacific. Several months ago, he wrote the Armed Forces Radio Service ask ing that the Newberry College Singers be presented on their “Way Back Home” series. The let ter was forwarded to WKDK for compliance. In checking their files, they found a tape recording made by the College Singers back in 1949 at which time Airman Wessinger was a member ... a program which was fed to the Mutual Broadcasting System of that year. A portion of the program was re- taped and sent to Armed Forces Radio Service for broadcast. Friends and relatives of ser vice personnel abroad, are urged to alert them of this broadcast. Al though WKDK was only allowed 3 minutes and 45 seconds of pro gram time, the voices of the New berry College Singers are sure to bring service personnel and their families from this commun ity .. .
