SATURDAY, JUNE 5, 1043 USE BUSES SPARINGLY The Office of Defense Transportation today appealed to the public not to use buses and taxicabs in the Eastern gas shortage area for amusement, recreation, social and other noil-1 essential purposes. , Tlie drastic curtailment in bus and taxicab operations forced by the 40 per cent slash in "T" rations means that only the most necessary transportation ser vices can be maintained, the | ODT pointed out. There is no gasoline available for non-essential uses, the; ODT declared. Transportation cannot be furnished for "plea-' sure seekers" by buses and taxicabs operating on reduced gaso-' line rations. Obviously, such ser-[ vice would deprive workers of necessary transportation. Every bus and taxicab seat taken by a person traveling unnecessarily, the ODT emphasized, means a waste of gasoline: needed for essential war purposes. The ability to provide es-1 sential transportation service de- I pends on the willingness of the! public to cooperate in the pres-! ent emergency and forgo all unnecessary riding. ' The ODT suggested that, wherever possible the public | walk or use street railway,! rapid transit \)r other facilities which do not reiiuire gasoline ' in the place of buses and taxicabs. SHUN BLACK MARKETS The consumer is the key person in the fight against black markets in meat, the Department oi Agriculture announced last; week. If the consumer guards! against buying meats at prices a hove ceiling, it was pointed out, the black market operator will have little reason to stay in business. There are several reasons why consumers should not purchase foodstuff. particularly meats, in black markets. If civilians go outside the legal market to satisfy their demand for meat, they will upset the government meat rationing program and, in addition, get inferior meat. Much of the meat sold on black market during 19 42 was sufficiently tainted to cause illness. Black market operation is a form of "bootlegging" and will help to bring back the type ol "gangster rule" that prevailed durin the days of prohibition Already, illegal trade in meats lias been so great that even buyers for the Army have had difflr p-i.

The situation is a serious oni and can only he remediet through the vigilance agains unstamped meat, not only b; government agencies but also bi the consumer.

FACING PERSECUTION "Blessed are they that have been persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 5:10). This beatitude, pronounced by Jesus, must have been in the mind of Peter when he writes in this letter, "Even if ye should suffer for righteousness; sake, blessed are ye." We usually think of the persecution of Christians as something that happened only in the first centuries. As a matter of fact, there has never been an age in which persons have not suffered, more or less directly, as the result ol their Christian faith. There are subtle ways of persecution in oui modern world, and these are nonetheless trying and painfu L LI d II LUC UIULdl itlAUCSS LUUI characterized earlier periods. Today in many lands Chris tians are living under pressure Nazi rule in Europe is open ly opposed to the New Testa nient point ot view. When i does not frankly deny the gospel it gives to it an interpretatioi that entirely misrepresents it meaning. Christians in the oc ci'pied countries must either ad just themselves to this situatio or suffer the consequqences. I Norway,. in Holland, and it Germany itself there are man people in prison and in concei tration camps whose only crini has heen their loyalty to a Chrl tlan faith. Happily in Americi we have, so far. preserved tl i liberty that guarantees religioi freedom; but even here thei ; are those who suffer for co; i science' sake. Let us try. to picture to ou , selves a group of early Chri 1 tians. somewhere in Asia Mino ! among whom this letter was ci 1 culated. They were a minori . group, without influence ? i power in the community. Mo of them were obscure ai humble people, whose positii l'L'RK OUTLOOK, GREKNSP,( i T^y . iyi Jm. i ' and work did not brine tliem; ' into prominence. Yet the Chris-1 tian faith they professed set j them off from tl)eir neighbors | in a distinctive way. They lived in the midst of a society that not only rejected Christian principles but also was becoming increasingly hostile to them. They were accused of things they were not guilty of, and it' was easy for rumor, scandal, and evil report to fasten upon them. How should a Christian behave under these circumstances? This was a real problem. It was one to which Peter, Paul, and other 1 I early leaders gave much atten-1 1 1 tion in their letters to the '! churches. I It is suggested in this lesson , that the Christian must always . be ready "to give answer to .; every man that asketli you a [ ^reason concerning the hope that l_' is in you." That is. he must j have an intelligent defense of . j his faith, and this was to be I given, not boastfully, but "with . meekness." Then, he must live . I above reproach, "having a good [ I conscience." This would be a sufficient answer to the evil u reports with which others might. s attack them. If they must suffer let it be for well-doing rather l_ than evil-doing. 11 j Finally, the followers of Jesus n are urged to be serene and feari less even under persecution, y They were not alone in their i- suffering. "Casting all your ,e anxiety upon him-, because he 3- caretli for you." There are coma. fort and encouragement, in the le thought that there is a fellow ts ship of suffering. The Christians re to whom Peter wrote were urgec u- to remember that through perse cution they shared, not only ir r- I he tufferings/of Christ, hut als< s- ip the sufferings that were "ac ir. complished in your brethern whi r- are in the world." This sense o ty comradeship with all who an or persecuted for righteousness st sake is a bond of unity nmoni id Christians today, as it was ii in the early centuries. )U0. c.
