Colossians 1: 17. The apostle first give thanks un to God for the faith of the Colos sians and commends them for their love toward all saints. He also writes that he had not ceased to make mention of them in his pray ers from the time he had received such good report of them. Having thus praised them and having written of his praying for them, he urges them to continue in their good course that they might attain unto all the fullness of Chris tian living, that they might be filled with the knowledge of God’s will, and walk worthy of God, and be strengthened with all power, and might give thanks unto the Father, who had made them “partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light.” Paul then glorifies God for deliv erance from the power of darkness through the “Son of his love,” and writes an exalted picture of Christ. In it we learn that God worked through Christ in the creation of the world, even as John writes in the first chapter of his gospel The matter of great import to ourselves is that Christ is set forth as the head of the Church. The Church is not a merely human in stitution, to be appraised as any other institution of men, but is the divinely ordained organization for spreading the gospel and perfecting the saints. Let us. then no longer depend upon our own plans and schemes for the church, and give ourselves freely to Christ to be used in his service. Dr. A. L.

It will be heard Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 7:45 to 8 p.m., EST over WKDK. Como, a million-/record pace setter, will be heard in a variety musical that will also feature the Fontane Sisters, the Ray Charles Chorus and Mitchell Ayres’ orchestra. Guest stars are also to be heard from time to time. The ex-barber—this trade was his standby while training as a singer—will be hoard on an MBS schedule that features such other popular song stylists as Eddie Fisher, Curt Massey, Martha Til ton and Lanny Ross. For Como opportunity knock ed twice. His first singing as signment with Freddie Carlone’s orchestra in Ohio brought him to Ted Weems’ attention. And he signed with the nationally famous leader, his band appearances in the late ’30’s marking his first Mutual network broadcasts. Weems broke up his aggrega tion in December, 1942. Como, tired of knocking around, return ed to his Cannonsburg, Penna., home. There this seventh in a family of 13 children learned bar- bering and planned that trade as his vocation. But things just weren’t meant to be that way for him. A large booking agency induced him to return to New York and take over a radio show. This op portunity was the stepping stone to his current stardom. His smooth, highly personable presen tations of sing-hits of the ’40’s made him a* night club favorite, then a motion picture star. And since ‘43 he’s been an entertain ment headliner. He’s' won so many honors he’s hard put to remem ber them all these days. , The Fontane Sisters .— Geri’s the redhead, Margie’s the blonde and Bea’s the brunette—are also small town products. They sang at Milford, N. J., socials, benefits and musicals before touring tho country and gaining fame with an all-girl unit. Mitchell Ayres, whose orchestra is featured on THE PERRY COMO SHOW, is another recording fav orite with top dises to his credit over a score of years.
