MORRIS Field Representative 338-3931 To all who may be thinking about retiring we offer these helpful hints: Inquire before you retire - to get the facts you need from a social security specialist . facts that may help you in making your retirement decision, as well as in filing your application for benefits lalor. Contact Iho Social Security ntliit- tliuu- mouths before you retire, it you're 62 or over. Also get in touch with our office three months before you're 62, if you're already "retired," or three months before age 60 if you're a widow. By all means contact the Social Security office before you're 65 to file for Medicare, even if you're still working. You'll need to have certain evidence or proofs to complete your claim. In the absence of an original birth certificate or baptismal certificate, other old records or documents such as a census record, family Bible record, or old insurance policy may be acceptable as evidence of your age. Also a marriage certificate and birth certificates of children may be needed. The social security employe will tell you if any additional evidence is required. Have your social security card (and also the cards, or verified correct numbers, or your wife or children for whom applications are filed), and the correct dates of birth, marriage, death, etc. Also have your latest W-2 slip (statement of earnings and taxes withheld) or, if you were self employed last year, a copy of your Federal income tax return. Be able to tell us how much you have earned to date in the year of retirement, and the expected total earnings for the year. O'HHIKN & DKMOCHATS Lawrence F.

L.:rcrj5, n. a international Sunday School Lesson for April 26, 1178 1 MEMORY SELECTION: "Therefore they that were scattered abroad went everywhere preaching the word -Acti8:4 LESSON TEXT: Acts 8; 10:1 to 11:18 Everything has its purpose, and what starts out, promarily, as bad, oftentimes proves to have happended for the best. This, assuredly, is what happpended when the Church was scattered, due to persecution from many different directions. Persecution of believers, far from attaining its goal of bringing an end to the doctrines of Christianity, helped to spread it abroad! It not only spread it geographically, but (even more signlflcately) it helped to assert the breadth and scope of the Gospel theologically. For the Gxspel is a living, breathing entity; it moves, just as life moves. . . and it grows, just as an embryo must grow in the mother's womb. It moves, just as life moves, going on despite all hardships, all setbacks. It will not be contained in a pod. . .it will grow, spreading like a plant will spread. . . and for that we can truly say "Thank goodness!" remaps one oi tne most far-seeing men of his day was Stephen, who was a martyr to his beliefs, being put to death for his ideology, yet - - in truly Christ-like fashion - forgiving - his murderers. Stephen believed that Christianity was in tended to be universal. . . to be world- wide. And, following his martyr's death (indeed, seemingly triggered by it) the more zealous of his followers fled Jerusalem and per secution, and devoted themselves to spreading the word .''"abroad". . Philip, also, was inspired to bear witnes to Christ in foreign lands. He went into Samaria, and his work was truly remarkable in the midst of this "minority group.." And in studying Philip's life it becomes obvious to us that he set little store by his origins and heredity; he was, primarily concerned with the condition of his "heart." "Heart". . .how often that term is used throughout the Bible! It is, truly and sincerely translated, a state of grace! And Christianity was bursting into full bloom, just as the flower that springs from a seed, bursts the pod that contains it's infinite beauty In maturity!. Peter, likewise, was a fearless spirit; for did not he, like our Lord, go amongst those that were considered, by Jewish "law" to be unclean? He went amongst the tanners, whom strict observance of the Jewish laws classed as "unclean". But he had a message to impart and he delivered that message where he felt it was fitting. What lessons can our present-day churches learn from the early days of Christianity? If we are torn with conflict within our own confines, we must not be dismayed. The early church faced inner con flicts. . . and overcome them. It also faced external conflicts. . . and overcame those! Persecution drove the church to its larger mission - as has been noted before!. Crisis, no matter how unwelcome to us, as persons, in variably calls forth the fighting spirit in all of us. But that spirit must be bound with our neighbors, and our neighbors' neighbors, if it is to become truly effective In the face of the. enemy! Again, it is case of "united we stand -divided we fall!" .-"..y.- .:.-.:.,:.,.. r.-,-- If, from a small number of initial believers and a scat tering of men of the stature of Philip, Peter, and Paul; . Just i to name a few. . . Christianity came to be the world-wide religion it is today, surely we, the present-day Christians, can work from the broad basis we now have to build on, and carry It even further! How many Peters and Paula and Philips among us who have not yet realized their potentials as God's messengers?
