Story Of Delilah Feature At Baptist Evening Service Continuing the series of Sunday evening sermons based on great women of the Bible, Rev. L. G. El liott, pastor of the First Baptist church, will speak on "The Woman Who Wrecked a Man's Life." This sermon will feature the service for Sunday evening at 7:30. Other women may illustrate woman's highest nature, her beau tiful and saving influence over men. her power to stir the ambi tions, to produce deeds of heroism, valor and power and even to launch a thousand ships; but this woman illustites another power which is just as real. Delilah influenced Samson with her power of evil, and stripped him of his strength and power The Bible holds the mirror up to life and in it we see the story of this beautiful but wicked wom an. The public is cordially invited to attend this service, especially young men and women who are contemplating marriage.

By NEWMAN CAMPBELL ANCIENT PALESTINE, today the scene of riot and worse as Arab and Jew contend for the possession of that Holy Land, was torn with religious differences in tn days of the Apostle Paul. Paul, whose magnificent letters known as the Epistles to the various congregations he had founded, are a grand contribution to the New Testament, became a prisoner of the Romans as a re sult of a religious riot in Jeru salem. Though he felt certain that persecution and Imprisonment lay hi wait for him at the end of his journey, the great missionary set out from Miletus, historic Med iterranean seaport In Asia Minor, for Jerusalem. This must have been Paul's last missionary Jour neythere being no evidence of a later one. En rout to Jerusalem Paul stopped over in the city of Ephe- the Lord Jesus, to testify the gos pel of the grace of Xtod." "And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more." Paul was loved and admired. He was a very real "tower of strength" to these early Christians. Imag ine, then, how sad they must have felt when they thought of him going Into danger, possibly, even very probably, losing his life, and visiting them no more to cheer, advise and help them hi their trials and discouragements. He warned them of differences of opinion that would arise with in their ranks to draw disciples away from them, and cautioned them to watch for signs of same. "And now, brethren, I com mend you to God, and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified, I have coveted no MEMORY VERSE "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever (Mags are honorable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever thing are of good report: if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." Philippians 4:t. sua, and it is on the words that the great missionary spoke to his followers there that our lesson for today is based. At Kphesua Paul summoned the elders of the church to him. They were the duly appointed officers Of the Ephesian church, although we do not know who they were nor how appointed. When they had gathered he reminded them of his work among them, telling how he had served "the Lord with all the humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying In wait of the Jews." The Jews who would not accept his Gospel, ac cused him of all sorts of what they considered heresies, where as, Paul says, he was "testifying both to the Jews and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ." Now, he told these friends, "I go bound in the spirit Unto Jeru salem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth In every city, saying that bonds anc afflictions abide me." None of the things that he feared moved him from his purpose; even his life he counted not dear, only that he hoped he might "fin ish my course with Joy, and the ministry which I have received of man's silver, or gold, or apparel. Yea, ye yourselves know that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me." Then Paul kneeled and pray with these friends. They Ail "wept sore," and accompanied him to the ship that would take him once more to Palestine. We do not know If he ever went to Ephesus again. There is no record of such a return visit. He was a prisoner when he wrote his epistle to the Ephesians, set ting forth what the life of a Christian should be, instructing and exhorting them. "Have no fellowship with the works of darkness, but rather re prove them," he writes. Wake up those who are sinning so that they may "walk In light," a beau tiful phraee for living a righteous life. "And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, but be Oiled with the Spirit." "Wine and the Holy Spirit both lift a man oat of him self," says a commentator. But while wine rives a false sense of joy, and makes a man forget his troubles for a time, It may also make him arrogant, proud, even quarrelsome and murderous. The Holy Sptrit gives a true Joy. which lasts and never disappoint Ptitiibuted by King Fetrturei Syndicate. Inc. via. J I J The Everyday Counselor Kl5V. HERBERT SPAUGll, D. D. Gfmm mimi There is a real blessing in giving and sharing what we have with others. The recent war has helped to make us more conscious of that. The desperate need of destitute peoples In other parts of the world has come home to us. I am fre quently encountering people who have sent $10.00 "CARE" pack ages to families overseas and have received letters of thanks, many of them hi foreign languages. Many have contributed to "Friendship Ships" and "Friendship Trains". The North Carolina Council of Churches has just released some Interesting figures: "From 1939 to 1946 taxes have increased from 12.3 millions to 48.1 millions. Lux uries from 14 billion to 23 billion. Csolrvoo Irtin A ttlltlnn tn 111 ft hlU tion, Tai exempt charHabla eon-1 tributions 1.4 billion to 2.5 billion (roughly a nickel a day "our gifts to God"). Council Secretary Arnold sug gests, "If we gave a dime 10c) a day, church contributions would total 5 billion. If we gave a Bibli cal tithe of out national income, it would total 17 billion. If we gave the "allowed 15 percent" of our federal income tax, it would amount to 20 billion annually." It is Communist doctrine to eom d by law tho who have to share with those who have not. It is Christian doctrine for those who have to gtre to those who have not. Government aid is sent to other needy countries from taxes which we are compelled to give.
