rusalem; and they were all scattered
abroad throughout the region Of
Judea and Samaria, except the apos-
ties Paul later considered himself
guilty in Stephens murder, though
he simply stood by silently. A wrong
attitude or mere unwise gesture
may make prosecutor. Well
grounded were these early Chris
tions and went everywhere witness
ing for Christ
V. 2. "And devout men carried
Stephen to his burial, and made
great lamentation over him" Earth
ly ties have always been the same.
v. g. GAS for Saul, he made hav-
oc of the church, entering into ev-
cry house and haling men and wom-
en-, committed them to prison. No
longer did Saul simply stand by, he
now did prosecuting himself. One
is either getting better all the time
or getting worse; one cannot stand
still morally.
The mission churches in Asia
Minor were being subjected to Jew
ish reproaches for abandoning GER
emonial observances; to Gentle re-
proaches for not joining in ancient
idolatrous activities; these feelings
broke out in persecution and be-
cause of this Peter wrote letter to
these churches.
V. 12. Beloved, think it not
strange concerning the fiery trial
which is to try you, as though some
strange thing had happened to you"
Trials may be fiery, but they are not
exceptional for others are undergo
ing them. They are disciplinary and
developing to the sufferer, and they
energize witnessing power.
V. 13. "But rejoice, inasmuch as
we are partakers of Christ's suffer-
ings; that when his glory shall be
revealed, ye may be glad also with
exceeding JOY" Suffering in Chris
tian fellowship for righteous
cause makes a spiritual condition
that naturally bursts out in a Chris
tian fellowship of joy.
v. IA. "If ye be reproached FOR
the name of Christ, happy are ye;
for the spirit of glory and OF God
resteth upon you; on their part he is
evil spoken of, but on your part ne
is glorified.'' The vital question is
do we suffer because we are His!
If so, then how infinitely more 1t is
to be His than to endure trial, ana
what joy should be ours to be count
ed worthy to suffer for Him.
V. Is. "But let none OF you SUI
fer as a murderer or as a thlef, or
as an evil doer, or as busy-body
in other mems matters" There is
no credit given to one who suffers
as a thief or as an evil doer or as
meddler.
v. 16. "Yet if any man suffers as
a Christian, let him not be ashamed,
but let him glorify God on his be-
half" The word "Christian' is
mentioned only three times in the
Bible; here and in Acts 1925 ana
1852. 1t literally means belonging
to Christ. Whether or not one be-
longs to Christ is best seen in per-
secution; the JOY is in the proof OF
being a Christian.
V. 10. "Wherefore them also VINO
suffer according to the will OF Goa
commit their souls in well-doing un-
to faithful Creator" Here is a
sound Christian philosophy-Do and
say what pleases Christ and speak
and act fearlessly, come what may

BETTER TIMES

By Harry Troupe Breaoer
We're happy times are better,
More people earning now;
Far better than the dole,
Are the handles of pillow.
People only grow who work,
1t has ever been that way;
A Nation never richens,
BY idleness and play.
A Nation only prospers,
AS it's people will to toll;
Idleness grows ugly weeds
And lovely virtues foil.
If one would climb ladder,
An effort must be made;
One needs must toll in sunshine
To revel in the shade.
Labor is the honor way
To seek the joys of life;
If idleness is followed
1t means a way of strife.

MANY BARNS LOST
BY FIRE ANNUALLY
Heavy Damage Done Throughout
Growing Territories as Flames
Break Out There.

Thousands of dollars of hard-earned
money belonging to tobacco growers
annually go up in smoke as flames
destroy anywhere from one to two
dozen tobacco barns in this section
every year.
High heat maintained in the barns,
necessary in curing out the tobacco,
makes them highly inflammable. At
the same time it makes them excep-
tionally attractive to lightning bolts
Last year a number of persons were
injured and several in this state kill
ed when lightning struck tobacco
barns at which they were working.
Although lightning is often respon-
sible for the burning of a barn, a.
great deal Of tobacco barn blazes can
be traced to negligence on someone's
part. Misplaced flue exits, often times
too close to the barn, are perhaps the
most common cause of the destruc-
ton from flames.
Sometimes when a barn furnace is
being run at full blast during the
final curing stage, a leaf of tobacco,
separating itself from the stick, falls

Among the other speakers were:
DR.. G. H. Reavis, supervisor of high

tlon,' DR.. Sutton told the teachers in

Liquor Is Blamed
For Virginia High
Jail Commitments

Richmond, Va, Sept Circuit
Judge Frederick w. Colman, in a
charge to the Stafford county grand
jury, sharply criticized liquor law
violations and said that sale of in
beverage control system was largely
responsible for Virginia's high num-
Der of Jail commitments last year.
Pointing to the 77977 Jail commit
mentS last year, he said the number
was astounding and that probably
80 per cent could be traced to the use
Of liquor.
Never in the rank prohibition days
were so many persons committed to
Jail in one year." he said But at
the same time, what can be expected
when the State goes into the liquor
business, urges and insists that spirits
be sold with the sole desire to make
money irrespective of temperance or
any other regulatory measure to cur
tail the drink habit?"
Conflicting Laws.
There are conflicting laws on the
Sunday sale of wine and beer, he
said
Sundays have become legal days to
dispense beers and ales, wines and
champagnes, something that was not
permitted even in the old barroom
days, Notwithstanding the statutes of
this State prohibit the sale of Wine
beer, ale and champagne or other in
toxicating liquors on Sunday"
The judge issued a wraning to
Stafford county officers against care
lessness or neglect in enforcing Ii
quor laws, and served notice that any
officer cited to him as being neglect
full in his duties would be required to
show cause why he should not be re-
moved
Received $4,O68.
Pointing out that Stafford received
$4,068 as it's part of ABC profits last
year, Judge Coleman said this should
be used in the enforcement of the Ii
particularly those as to
drunken driving.
Commenting upon Judge Coleman
statement, T. Mccall Frazier, mem
Der of the ABC board, said that one
factor in the jail-commitment situa-
ton was the increase in enforcement
activity by the board and by the Fed
eral Government last year.
"The ABC system operated with the
largest number of enforcement offic-
ers ever used" he said, land the Fed
eral Government, cooperating with
the State, also used the largest num-
Der in it's history. Any increase in
commitments for which the ABC
board may be considered responsible
