The American Bible So
ciety is challenged today
not only by a population
explosion, but by sweeping
new opportunities in the
fields of education and lit
eracy.
In India, for example,
there were only 24 million
children in primary and
secondary schools in 1950.

Let's Go To Church Sunday
Sunday School Lesson
PARTNERS IN THE GOSPEL
International Sunday School Lesson for Aug. 13
Memory Selection: “I have planted, Apollos
watered; but God gave the increase. So then
neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he
that watereth; but God that giveth the in
increase.”—l Corinthians 3:6-7.
Lesson Text: Acts -18:18-28.
This lesson deals with a very significant
period in Paul’s missionary activities namely,
the establishment of two churches in important
cities—that of Corinth and Ephesus.
It also points out a very pertinent fact—that
it does not take one of any particular training
or education to do the Lord’s work—and do it
well.
For it was during Paul’s travels that he met
with Priscilla and Aquila, who were humble and
relatively unlettered tent makes (Paul’s own
original calling). Nevertheless, this woman and
this man were to play an important part (in
their humble way) in furthering the Gospel of
Jesus Christ. For they were firm believers, and
they practiced the doctrine of Christianity on
every occasion that presented itself to them.
Thus the hospitable offer of shelter to Paul and
his companion during their sojourn in Ephesus.
Their house was, indeed, a “church”—as so many
homes were in those days.
The contribution they made to the doctrine
of Christianity may, in no uncertain way, be
measured by the fact that Paul invited Priscilla
and Aquila to be his companions in his field of
service to the Lord. Thus it is amply demon
strated, once again, that God gives to all people
certain skills—certain values in His cause. It
is how those skills and those values are employed
that makes the difference.
The value of a person, in His eyes, lies in the
service which is to be performed. Every Chris
tian should be acutely aware of his own sig
nificance in the purposes of God—and he should
also be acutely aware of the significance of
other persons, for there is potential worth in
every human being, and Christian service in
volves many people. Among them there must
be an interaction and an interdependence in
order to get the job at hand completed effec
tively.
Os this interdependence, the one upon the
other, Paul was acutely aware. True, he stood
head and shoulders above the crowd, but, just
as the farmer plants his crops, he is dependent
on Mother Nature to nurture them to fruition,
so was Paul dependent upon others in the fur
therance of the GospeL The work performed by
the Priscillas and the Aquilas was essential to
the reality of his mission. And he never
to acknowledge this fact, or the courage that
was often exhibited in the performance of
Christian duties.
Such courage was exhibited when Priscilla
and Aquila, hearing Apollos make his presenta-

|§S .:.: :>s§i> Hi
When Jack Sinclair retired, he took his wife on
a holiday cruise. They’ll be home next week, and I’m
certainly going to tell them how much they’ve been
missed here at the church.
T.ilrft all ministers, I need a lot of help from my
congregation to make our church a happy, inspiring
place. Sinclair and his wife are just two of the many
older members that keep things running smoothly. I
depend on them for good ideas, for experienced ad
ministration and, very often, for a wise approach to
young people’s problems. In return, the Sinclairs have
often told me how important their church has been
in their lives, and how they both enjoy being needed.
That’s one of the great secrets of life, I think . . .
to be needed. And there isn’t a church anywhere that
doesn’t have a real need for "senior citizens” to help
with God’s work.

THE CHURCH FOR All . . .
... ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church ii the greatest
factor on aarth for tha building
of choractar and good citizen
ship. It Is a storehouse of spirit*
ual values. Without a strong
Church, neither democracy nor
civilization can survive. There
are four sound reasons why
every person should attend ser
vices regularly and support the
Church. They are: (1) For his
own sake. (2) For his children's
sake. (3) For the sake of his
immunity and nation. (4) For
the sake of the Church itself,
which needs his moral and ma
terial support. Plan to go to
church regularly and read your
Bible daily.
