Enlistments
Suspended
Enlistments in the U. S. Army
have been suspended for the bal
ance of the month of January,
TiSgt. Ernest H. Whitaker, Jr., re
cruiting Sergeant for the Duplin
County Area announced today.
"The suspension order does not
apply to men reenlisting to fill
their own vacancies, those reenlist
ing within 90 days from date of
last discharge from, the Army, nor

Women's Army Corps," the Ser
geant said.
Sgt. Whitaker stated that the Air
Force has granted the Wilmington
Army and Air Force Recruiting
Station a quota of 11 enlistments
for the month of January, which is
an increase over the same quota

quota received for Air Force enlist
ments since June 1948.
The Sergeant termed the sus
pension order as temporary, and
stated that notice would be given
the public when the order is lifted.

First to Fall
for January 22, 195
TROUBLE IN THE CHURCH can
start anywhere. Sometimes It
starts with the women. That was
the way the early church found It
The experiment in fellowship which
they tried ran into snags, for not
even the first Christians were
perfect The
church in Jerus
alem was in
sense lnter-racial.
Some were born
and bred in Pales
tine, - and there
war others from
the outside, with
Greek names.
" . " Dr. Foreman
their native tongue
Hellenists they were called. There
was argument: Were the Hellenist
widows getting their share of the
church's help?
Committee Chairman
pHE APOSTLES, being called on,
refused to straighten the tangle
themselves. Let the church elect a
committee, they said. First on the
list was a man named Stephen. He
turned out to be most famous for
being the first Christian martyr,
but when he fell unconscious be
neath that shower of stones, there
died no ordinary man.
To begin with, he filled the
bill as chairman of that Com
mittee on Grievances. Not
many men, then or now, could
fill all three qualifications the
Apostles required: reputation,
spirituality, and wisdom.
It takes a very tactful man to
settle a difficulty in which women
are concerned; it takes tact to
handle any committee; it takes
tact to manage an inter-racial sit
uation; it calls for wisdom to handle
fundi.
Debater
COME MEN THINK
themselves
a?
bigger than their jobs. Some
men really are bigger, and Stephen
was one of these. He spilled over,
so to speak; he had even more en
ergy and ability than the job called
for. We hear of him debating
around the synagogue circuit par
ticularly in the synagogues which
were used by Jews from other
parts of the world.
We have no details of those
debates, but we know how they
always came oat: Stephen got
the decision. We can guess,
from Us great speech la the
hour of his death, what his gen
eral line must have been.
Many Christians in Jerusalem at
that time had little or no idea that
Christianity was actually a new re
ligion; even the name 'Christian"
had not been thought of. They con
sidered it a form of the Jewish
religion.
Scholar
STEPHEN'S SPEECH at his trial
(Acts 7) may sound dull to
some now, but it was not dull to
the audience. No man makes a
dull speech on the brink of death.
Further, It was that speech that
got him killed. His listeners may
not have liked it, but they certain
ly did not think it dull! The beauty
of the speech is that It reveals
Stephen's keen insight Into the re
ligious history of his people. :i

STEPHEN'S AUDIENCE was not
convinced. . Seeing murder , in
their eyes, Stephen knew his tuna
was short. In a few stinging last
words he reminded them that mur
der was an old story in that Tem
ple, They had killed prophets, they
had killed Jesus the "Just One."
And now. Now they - dragged
Stephen out and atoned him till he
