m. r : "HE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE TWO Thursday, January 19, 1950 The First Christian Martyr . Lesson for January 22: Acts 6: 8 15; 7: 54-60 Memory Selection'. Revelation 2: 10 STEPHEN was one of the seven men who formed a committee for the equitable distribution of food and other necessities. It is ' recorded that he was "full of grace and power," and that he "wrought great wonders and signs among the people." He was a mighty wit ness for Christ. When certain ones ,who had disputed with him were vanquished, they took him before the council of the Sanhedrin. There the face of Stephen shone like that of an angel. The council condemned him to death and he was dragged from the city to be stoned. This was con trary to the Jewish custom for such cases and also against the provision that the Roman authori ties only could inflict the death penalty. The spirit of the martyr rose superior to agony and sin. As the stones were rained upon him thick and fast, he called upon ! Jesus to receive his spirit and, .then, kneeling down, prayed for those who were stoning him. Then merciful death closed his lips. There is a great testimony for ' Christ in the death of Stephen. In jthe whole dreadful transaction, the anger and the murderous died of jhis enemies marked their utter de feat in their contention with truth. Stephen's martyrdom must have had a great effect upon a young ,man named Saul, at whose feet the outer garments of those who ! stoned Stephen were laid. And the first Christian martyr has lived on 'through the ages as a powerful witness to the reality of the re ligion that can strengthen a man.

Video No Threat To the Movies, Says Director By PETER HAYES United Press Staff Correspond ent SPOKANE, WTash. (U.R) Eric A. Johnston, motion picture chief, doesn't blanch at the thought of what television will do to the movie industry.

"When engineers, first start ed having success with' spund, many movie executives . shook their heads and said it would ruin the industry," Johnston said, "But look what happened! 7 y '" ylmcrica fooX' oxe-ZOGAT. , PJZlUZZ...an(islGI?Z;Z ttaf tie zs 1RS7!. . NEVER before have the men and women of America given such out spoken and overwhelming preference to any motor car in any price field! - Reports coming in from all parts of the country indicate that people are acclaim ing the great new 1950 Chevrolet first and finest at lowest cost. They're saying it's first and finest in fleet, graceful styling at lowest cost . . . first and finest in luxurious, room-to-rclax comfort at lowest cost . . . and, above all, they're saying Chevrolet is first and finest And I think we'll be able to make as much out of television as we did out of sound." Problem Under Study The film executive told how a- committee cf engineers and producers are at work now studying the possibilities of television. "The way it looks now, the plan will be to present a tele vision show to a group of thea tres in a certain region," he said. "We'll probably start with sports events and from there lead into five talent shows. I think television will prove an invaluable supplement to the movies". Meanwhile, Johnston is opti mistic over the present econom ic status of the film business. "We are emerging from an adjustment period that began two years ago", he said. He pointed to two . problems producers faced. One was high costs brought on in the war by the 90 per cent excess profits tax and the other was the diffi culty of converting 1 j u g e amounts of foreign currency into American dollars. The $150,000-a-yar movie boss said the second problem gradually is being licked. All Sorts of Deals "We have brought into play all sorts of deals to swap for eign earnings for American currency. In Marseille harbor, for instance, we raised a sunk en tanker with French francs and sold it to Standard Oil for American dollars."
