After much pondering on how to
make the boy behave, Mrs Kishler
came to the conclusion that the old
saying, "Spare the rod and spoil the
child" was the answer to her prob
lem
The next time the boy began his
usual tricks Mrs. Kishler called him
to the front of the room and told

She doesn't like the term "house-

other mothers she wants her home
to be gathering place for young

girl from out of town heard her
sing at the Methodist church and
said to 10 Ann (Mrs. Kishler's
daughter), " / like to hear your
mother sing. She isn't like most
old people. When most old people
sing their voices squeak"

The Early Church Meeting Human
Needs. Acts 4:32-25, Acts 6:1-7, for
Sunday, April 27:
In the founding of the Christian
church there were problems not the
human needs. This lesson presents
one phase Of meeting them.
V. 80. "And the multitude OF
them that believed were of one
heart and of one soul; neither said
any of them that ought of the
things which he possessed was his
own; but they had all things in
common" There was fine Chris
tian bond in the early church, love
for one another, so that the suffer-
ing Of one became suffering OF all.
While the early church recognized
the principle of private property,
each disciple was a sincere steward.
V. 33. "And the great power
gave the apostles witness of the
resurrection of the Lord Jesus; and
great grace was upon them ALL
The point in which the Christian re-
ligion differs from all others is that
its founder died and rose again, in
which fact is found the presence
and power of Christ. Just in the
measure that one is true witness
to the risen Christ does he enjoy the
grace of the Lord.
v. "a. ''Neither was there any
among them that lacked; for as
many as were possessors Of lands or
of houses sold them. and brought
the prices of the things that were
sold ard laid them at the apostles
feet; and distribution was made un-
to every man according as he had
need" Note there was no command
that everyone should sell all he had
and turn it into the church treas
ury; that plan was voluntary. Where
one possesses love of God and man
a way will be found to manifest that
love, which will eliminate the pOSsi-
bility of any class distinction. Note,
too, that the early church leaders
were so trustworthy that the lalty
trusted fully their wisdom and
ability to make proper distribution
of the gifts presented to them
Here is also stated a guiding prin-
ciple on where and how much to
give, namely; give where it is need
ed and as much as needed.
V. l. "And in those days when
the number of the disciples was
multiplied, there arose murmur-
ing of the Grecians against the He
brews, because their widows were
neglected in the daily ministration.
There is always a tendency to neg
lect the minority group. This was
in evidence in the early church. One
needs to watch that human rela-
tionships do not supersede divine
relationship. To avert church
storm today, all tendencies to strife
must be handled in accord with
Christian principles.
". "Then the twelve called the
multitude of disciples unto them,
and said, 1T is not reason that we
should leave the Word of God, and
serve tables" So important is the
preaching of the Gospel that min
listers ought not to be asked to turn

RURAL MAIL BOX I'M
PROVEMENT WEEK

The postoffice department desig-
mates one week each year for this
purpose-that patrons and home
owners may be reminded that un-
slightly rural mail boxes detract
from the natural scenic beauty along
highways and are not credit to the
owner. 1t is also especially desir-
able that the boxes be maintained in
such condition that they will prop
erly protect mail placed therein.
The inscribing of patrons names on
their boxes expediates the delivery
Of mail.
This year the department has
designated the week beginning May
as ''Rural Mail Box Improvement
Week. 1t is hoped that patrons
will make special effort during
this week to accomplish these de-
sirable detectives.
