The Problems of a Growing Church, Acts 6:1-6. Often we sigh for a revival such as Pentecost. That would solve many problems, but perhaps create others in the way of organization. Alter the revival in Jerusalem the church hud large ingatherings, and new problems began to emerge. How ever, the New Testament never uses the word “problem,” and sel dom voices the idea. The stress falls on opportunity. The Spirit led the apostles to use that “prob lem” as a stepping-stone to a higher level of service. Oh for such leadership now! The New Problem, verse 1. The difficulty had to do with money. As in a home, church disputes now often rise about money. That dis affection began with the women, and it soon involved the men. If the trouble had continued, the church might have split, and a ra cial group would have started work of its own. All this sounds more like Babel than Pentecost. The New Proposal, verses 2-4. The officers dealt with the mat ter at once, and behind closed doors. They laid it before the Lord, and talked it over as a group. They waited until they felt su> e about the leading of the Spir it. What folly to let such matters appear in the newspapers, as Protestants often do. Catholics give publicity only to matters which they feel proud. The officers proposed that the congregation elect seven new lead ers to supervise the distribution of funds among the poor. See the need and meet it! Do not cre ate offices for the sake of having offices. Think of how a manu facturer plans his work. If it calls for more men or machinery he supplies them. When the Spirit guides, a church chooses able of ficers. In every church some such group should take care of God’s poor. The pastor should minister to people's souls. Beware of thinking about relief of the poor as secular. Men like Philip and Stephen look on such work as spiritual. Division of Labor. In many a church the minister has become so busy about many things that he does not have time for his special work. If the church has a staff they may become “busy and troubled about many things.” God wants ministers to specialize on what he called them to do, and others to take excellent care of “tables.” He calls for teamwork, with the minister as inspirer of other workers.

Paige was reappointed to the bench for a 10-year term by Mayor O Dwyer last Friday. Judge Paige, first appointed by the late Mayor Fiorella LaGuar dia, is the second LaGuardia ap pointee to the bench the present mayor has reappointed. The other was Judge Jane Bolin. Judge Paige's salaty is $14,000 per annum They accepted the proposal gladly. They did not enjoy a squabble, or want to see a split. They wished the work to go forward. Hence they chose new officers different from those already on the “offi cial board.” The new officers represented the “newcomers.” What tact! Would that every church problem might become an opportunity for largei service! Elect from every nation, yet one o’er all the earth, Her charter of salvation, one Lord, one faith, one birth; One holy name she blesses, par takes one holy food, And to one hope she presses, with every grace endued. PrrjmlicM* In Itonlrirc An 'tutorial lahfn fiotn Ota Mnulrt. r l>aifv Him, ►>». m r. M Marvin ' I"..11 lltl' ; t'K'.ll i ,.l tin concert in the auditorium last night, expressed a thought which probubly was in the minds of many. “All of these people come to hear and applaud a great artist," he said. “Vet that artist could not spend the night in one of our hotels because che is a Negro." People should be judged on their individual merits, and by such a standard Miss Camilla Williams deserves our grateful admiration. It was very evident last night that she had earned the respect and admiration of her audience; unfortunately, it was not reflected in the hospitality the town had to offer. There was a time when those who deplore such an un-American and un-Christian attitude could make a weak defense for their town by saying that at least we are no worse than other towns in the midwest. This is no longer true. Miss Williams had vruiiil days between concert*, before coming to Beatrice. She spent them at the Coinhuskc hotel, which is Lincoln's fanciest hos telry, and there was treated re spectfully, Beatrice has no reason to be proud of Its shabby treat ment ol some very great persons (Mr. Todd Duncan was another) because of the color of their skins. Hotel management professes no personal prejudice on this score, but points out that an enlightened attitude is not shared by all of its customers. No doubt this true, but looking at the example set in Lin coln, it is possible that fears are exaggerated. Management re serves the privilege of refusing rooms to undesirable persons, of whatever color. Attitudes change, more slowly than women’s fashions perhaps, but nonetheless steadily. Customs lag a little behind. It is only a matter of time before custom will catch up with the attitude which deplores racial prejudice — a Spring To That Finish By Jane Parsons Winters Spring wears many disguises. There’s the young man's fancy, the gardener’s hoe, a boy’s marbles, milady’s bonnet, or the housewife’s mop. But we all have one thing in common with Mother Nature about this time of year. A change. You'd like to shove everything out of the house and start all over, bright and new. Well, let’s do it. There’s that old chest of drawers with its peeling green paint, or that table with half the varnish gone, or that old chair you slip in the living room only on emergencies. Give them all a good shove to the back porch or the basement, and let’s finish them off. And before you know it, you’ll have a new hobby, a nice piece of furniture, and you’ll be thr envy of anyone that walks in the front door. * That’s the beauty of redoing old furniture—anyone can for it doesn’t take any special skill, it’s the cheapest way to furnish a house beautifully, and no one can duplicate your particular piece. It’s yours, you worked for it, and you are as proud as others are envious. So let’s get to the finish. First Step: The piece to refinish Any old piece of furniture you already own or can buy at a sec ond hand store. Look for solid pieces or good veneered ones, sturdiness in structure, and good simple lines. Try the auctions, second hand stores, want ads, or any foolish friend that can’t see beyond the old varnish or paint. You will be surprised what you can do with cheap unpainted fur niture with the right finish. (See Step Six « Second step: Materials (Look around home before you shoo.) Denatured or wood alcohol Turpentine Sandpai»er (coarse, medium, fine) Fine emery cloth Boiled linseed oil Floor wax Shellac Paintbrushes Old rags and polishing cloths Plastic wood Bleaching fluid Scrapers (bread and narrow) Liquid paint remover. (Buy In large quantities Or use household ammonia in well ventilated room.) Third step: Removal of old paint or varnish 1. Scrape off as much varnish or paint with scraper as possible, being careful nlot to mar wood. Coarse sandpaper may be used also. 2. Apply paint remover or am monia. Cover small portion at a time, let stand 15 minutes, then scrape off. Wipe residue with old rag. Continue until all the varnish or paint is gone.1 3. Wash off surface with alco hol and let dry 24 hours. Fill any large holes or cracks W'ith plastic wood. Ignore old scars. They enhance the pieces. Note: May use Trisodium Phosphate in hot water or one of the commer cial floor cleaning products if the piece is varnished Has a tend ency to dry out wood, and if used, must use linseed oil in finishing coats. Fourth Step: Smoothing 1. Rub with fine sandpaper Nos. 4/0 to 2/0 or fine emery cloih 2/0 until smooth. Rub with grain. *r2. Go over with fine steel wool No. 0. Polish until satin smooth. The beauty of your finish depends upon this step. To be continued next week. Make WHITE'S Your FURNITURE HEADQUARTERS Its 108 No. 10th Street Just 27 Steps North of 10th S O Sts.
