Sunday. SdwoL
(deAiun.
By Rev. R. E. Handy
Subject: “The Personal Witness
of the Christian.”
Scripture text: Acts 8:26-39.
Golden text: “Peace be unto
you; as my Father hath sent me,
even so sent I you.” John 20:21.
Application
If you are a believer in our
Blessed Saviour, God calls you to
be a personal witness. Two rea
sons can be given for this; first,
people everywhere need to learn
of Christ and the way of salva
tion. Secondly, as you talk of His
blessings to you, you continue to
grow and enlarge, enabling you
to see blessings you wereN not
aware of at first. Tell the love
of Jesus even though you have
only one for an audience.
In our lesson today, Philip was
in a city where he could preach
to many souls, but God saw a
lone Ethiopian out in a desert
country, thirsting for the water
of Life. So He sent Philip from
the city to break the Bread of
Life to that one lone soul. Philip
had divine guidance; the angel of
the Lord spoke, and the Holy
Spirit spoke. If you will listen,
you can hear the soft voice of the
spirit speak to you today. What
he says may seem unreasonable
to you, but if, like Philip, you
obey, God will make it plain in
the results obtained. Read in
your Bible the scripture text.
“Glory be to God!”
There were no airplanes in the
days of Philip, but often he had
obeyed God’s message, preached
the word, convinced the Ethi
opian, baptized him and sent him
on his way rejoicing. God con
veyed him by air to his next
preaching engagement.
This lesson teaches us, the im
portance of witnessing to one
soul. Evidences of this conversion
were found in Ethiopia centuries
later. If you are spirit-filled,
you can be guided by that spirit
to be in the right place at the
right time to meet the one God
wished you to meet, and deliver
the message God wishes him to
have in order that he might be
saved.

groes. That same night President
Truman was host to Gov. Hastie
and six Negro members of his
staff—there were only three white
members of the governor’s staff
present—at an informal dinner on
board the Williamsburg.
The President in his speech re
called that Gov. Hastie has the
distinction of being the first gov
ernor to draft an organic act for
a state or territory, then interpret
that organic act as a judge and
then enforce the act as governor.
The President said that only when
the United Nations succeeds will
there be real freedom on earth.
He unveiled a plaque in com
memoration of the 100th anniver
sary of abolition of slavery in
these islands which is being cele
brated he/e at the present time.
The spot from which Danish Gov.
Peter Carl Frederik von Scholten
stood in 1848 when he proclaimed
“All unfree on the Danish islands
are today free” thus ending slav
ery in the present Virgin islands.
The presidential party sailed
away from these islands well
pleased with what they had seen.
The President revealed that he
had'visited the islands in 1929 and
will soon return.

“Re-ereation”
In the last article, we suggested
that recreation may often be in
terpreted to be “re-creation.” Let
us examine further the mean
ing of “re-creation.” David, the
psalmist of old, realized the im-*
portance of re-creation when he
said, “Create in me a clean heart,
O God, and renew a right spirit
within me.” (Psalms 51:10.)
In a world in which there are
so many things upon which wc
depend for our physical, mental,
and spiritual growth we are like
ly to become like those influences
which surround us—both good
and bad. Sometimes we have a
desire to become a different per
sonality. It is human nature to
be constantly planning to develop
something bigger and better than
has already been advanced. Why
could not this -principle of de
velopment be applied to our per
sonalities?

beautiful Elgin watch as first prize

vileges of the human race is that
we have a right to choose much
of what is to become part of us.
Choices, then, must be made with
care. If we were to buy a car or
a bicycle, we would choose the
best. So must we in developing
our personalities choose that
which is the finest.
A body broken by disease or
accident can be rebuilt by food,
rest or exercise. A spirit, broken
by sorrow and disappointed can
be nurtured by love and under
standing.
In this weary war-torn world
where each person is of vital
importance in building for an en
during peace, it is necessary that
each one create within him
self .a new spirit, an alert mind,
and a healthy body. We must be
the world we want!

By Esther White Green
The weather here for the past week has
been like "sunny” California, after our
few days of rain, which war badly
needed.
Mrs. Zella M Taylor was hostess to a
number of friends and relatives, honoring
her cousin John "West" King, who cele
brated his 65th birthday. After the open
ing of the gifts the evening was spent
informally.
Mrs. Wilhite of Omaha is here visiting
her sister, Mrs. Woodson. A luncheon
was given in her honor bv Mrs. Mary

To be able to build your own home,
from the foundation up is a wonderful
feeling. That is the very fine thing Mr.
and Mrs. Bus Roberts are doing.
Talking to Mrs./Hazel King Jones, the
other day, who we knew as Hazel Maryen,
she informed me that she and her hus
band Mr. Jones have a little business of
their own. Cleaning and pressing.
