Page 4 (—BLACK MOUNTAIN NEWS—Thursday, Oct. 24, 1946. A THOUGHT FOR THE DAY This Week’s EDITORIAL Community Chest Drive For Black Mountain The city of Black Mountain took another step toward recognition last night when a special com mittee representing all the civic and fraternal organ izations of the town met and drew up a charter re questing that the city be allowed to conduct its own Community Chest drive. If the request is granted, Black Mountain will re ceive much publicity which will go a long way toward establishing this town as an independent community, separate and apart from Asheville and the rest of Buncombe county. Instead of going to the Asheville-Buncombe county community chest drive, the money contributed in this area will be credited to Black Mountain. That the business leaders of this community should want the city to have recognition for its efforts is understandable and will have the support of all the civic minded residents of the area. The town is grow ing, and there is no better way to focus attention on it than to let the world know that Black Mountain is a city in its own right and not an appendage of any other municipality. • o Remember To Vote Those who have not done so already are given a last i chance to register Saturday in order to be able to vote in the November 5 election. Elections are de cided and won entirely on the votes cast. No matter now good your intentions to vote may be, your candi date! is not helped one bit until your vote is marked and in the box.

LUNDQUIST. D. D. j Os The Mooay Bible Institute of Chicago Released by Western Newspaper Union Lesson for October 27 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education: used by permission. PAUL’S WIDENING FIELD OF SERVICE LESSON TEXT—Acts 13:1-5. 13. 14. 44-46 , 48 . 49; 14:26, 27 MEMORY SELECTION—But when It pleased God ... to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen.—Galatians 1:15, 16. God uses men to accomplish his high and holy purpose of preaching the gospel in all the world. They must, however, be men who have been called by the Holy Spirit, pre pared and sent out by him. They must be willing to labor and to sac rifice without limit for his glory. Paul was such a man, and as we study the widening sphere of his service and influence, we catch a vision of what missions should mean in the church. I. A Missionary Call (Acts 13:1-4). Much discussed among earnest Christians is the question of what constitutes a missionary call. The need must be brought home to the individual believer’s heart by the Holy Spirit, and he must give a conviction that one is to go out to meet that need. Note that the call came through a live, active and well-equipped church in Antioch, a city of Syria. It was a cosmopolitan church—read the names of those who served there. They were of many nationali ties and of various occupations and social positions. In the midst of that group were two exceptionally able preachers, Barnabas and Paul. They all loved the Lord and served him. To such a church the Holy Spirit can speak, be heard and obeyed. Notice that they gave of their best, at the direction of the Spirit, not withholding it for themselves (cf. II Sam. 24:24). God wants our best. Sent forth by the Holy Spirit these men went promptly and willingly. Why should the Lord have to plead, and prod, and wait for his people to obey him? 11. A Missionary Conquest (Acts 13:4, 5. 13, 14, 44-46, 48, 49. To trace this first missionary journey it is well to look at the map illustrating the Acts and epistles at the back of most Bibles. It will appear at once that it was not an easy itinerary these men undertook. It involved travel by sea, through difficult country, arid often among hostile and hateful peoples. God does not call his servants to an air-conditioned arm-chair evan gelism. His Word must go out where it has never been heard, and that means pioneering among the most backward of peoples, the need iest of this earth. It means work ing in rescue missions, in thaaik less and difficult pastorates; yes, anywhere the Divine Executive, the Holy Spirit, may direct. Paul met both popularity and per secution, and that not far apart. After the experience of acceptance and rejection on the island of Cy prus (Acts 13:7, 8), Barnabas and Paul went to Antioch in Pisidia (a different city than Antioch in Syria; see map). Here they were invited to preach in the synagogue and Paul was blessed in the presenta tion of a powerful gospel mes sage. Read it in Acts 13:16-41. It met with such, a response that the people "besought that these weeds might be preached to them the next Sabbath” (v. 42). So great was the popularity of Paul’s message that the whole city came the next Sab bath “to hear the Word of God." Wbat a wonderful sight that must have been. But wait—there is something else bare beside popularity, and its name is jealousy (v. 45). It Gaused the Jews fa blaspheme as they con tradicted Paul’s preaching. Jealousy always makes a fool out of the one who- yields to. it. Yet this green-eyed monster is per mitted ts go right on hindering the work ol God. The result in this case was that Paul turned from the Jews to the Gentiles with the gospel, to ; their great joy and delight. This is a great turning point in the history of the church. Now the preachers turn home ward to Antioch in Syria, and there they had 111. A Missionary Conference (Acts 14:26, 27). Nothing stimulates missionary giving, and praying, and going in a local church like a live missionary conference, where those who have been on the field come back and tell what the Lord has done as they went out to serve him. It is good to know that what the Lord led men out to do has been fulfilled. That completes the circle of divine guidance and blessing, and strongly encourages us to go again —and others to go for the first time —to do missionary work for God. The church which does not have such an annual missionary confer ence misses a blessing and an op portunity for enlarged vision and service. No pastor or church can afford to miss such an open door for the working of the Holy Spirit of God. BUY BONDS AND KEEP THEM Southern Head Cite J By Navy Per War Job t O Oct. 23—Ernest E. Norris, presi dent of the Southern Railway sys tem, was cited by the United States navy, at a mfeeting in Chicago, for his service in con nection with transporting naval personnel during the critical war years and in the subsequent de mobilization period. The citation was presented by Admiral Louis Denfeld, who will assume com mand of the Pacific Fleet next January, coincident with the award of a “Certificate of Achieve ment” to the Southern Railway system. The citation honoring Mr. Norris states that during the critical war years he “mustered the resources of his organization and with com plete disregard of the cost to him self in time and effort contribut ed to the greatest manpower move ment in our country’s history. Through his unflagging endeavors and great wisdom, Mr. Norris was able to assist in the transporta tion of more than seven million naval personnel to points within the United States.” After describing how the navy “taxed” the facilities of the American railroads as it struggled Jo fulfill the commitments of worldwide warfare, the citation declares that “only the knowledge gained by long experience and his willingness to apply that wisdom unstintingly in the navy’s behalf could have enabled Mr. Norris to accomplish his share of this vital task.” “Again, with victory complete, Mr. Norris was called upon to tax the capacity of his organization in the demobilization period. From August 14, 1945 to August 31, 1946, while the navy returned more than 3,000,000 men and women to civilian life, the travel of navy personnel reached stupendous pro portions.” “These people,” the citation added, “were able to return promp tly to their homes, just as they had met their ships and taken their leaves, due to the untiring devotion, sure knowledge and great patriotism of Mr. Norris and his colleagues.”" The “Certificate of Achieve ment” was awarded to the rail way “in grateful recognition of outstanding services to naval per sonnel during World War II.” Participating in the presenta tion ceremony, in addition to Ad miral Denfeld, were high-rank ing narvy, government, and rail road officials, including Under Secretary of the Navy John L. Sullivan; Rear Admiral J. L. Hol loway, Jr., assistant chief of Naval personnel and recently appoint ed superintendent of the United States naval academy at Annap olis; Colonel J. Monroe Johnson, director of the office of defense transportation; and John J. Pel lev, president of the Association of American railroads-.

PAINT DEODORANT Some people like the odor of fresh paint and some don’t. Those who are objectors have an easy remedy at hand in any of the vari itus deodorants for paint which are available in paint stores. All they have to do is to stir the de odorant into the paint just before it is used, being careful to put it in after the last of the thinner, if any, has been added to the- paint. Otherwise the- later addition of the thinner might neutralize the effect of the deodorant, so that the deodorizing would have to be done all over again.
