Text: Acts 8:14-25

The spirit Of Christianity soon
began to manifest itself following
the great events of the Day of
Pentecost and the virtual founding
of the Christian Church. 1t quick
ened a zeal that brought the disci-
pies in conflict with the constituted
religious authorities in much the
same way that Jesus had aroused
hostility to Himself.
But the fruits of the life and
work of Jesus and the events in
connection with His death and res
direction had already modified the
opposition to great extent. Ga
maliel, a respected Jewish leader
of the time, had wisely counseled
a cautious attitude. He pointed out
that various misleaders of differ
ent movements had arisen and that
their work had come to nothing.
Nevertheless the persecution was
sufficient to drive some of the
disciples from Jerusalem, and it
had the effect of spreading the
Gospel more quickly n d more
widely than might have been the
case if there had been no such
incentive.
The spirit Of Christianity also
was already breaking down bar
riers and prejudices, and Philip,
a devout layman, determined that
he would 60 and preach the Gospel
message to the Samaritans. The
Jews, it must be remembered,
had no dealings with the Samari.
tans, and the surprise of the disci.
pies will be remembered when

they came to the well outside the
city of Sychar and found their
Master conversing with a Samari-
tan woman.
This woman had gone into the
city and witnessed concerning Je-
sus, Come, see man, which told
me all things that ever I did; is
not this the Christi" and the Cos
pei record is that not only upon
her testimony but when the people
came from the city and saw Jesus
for themselves they believed on
Him.
A groundwork for Philip had evil

preaching among the Samaritans
had such success that the word
Of it came to Jerusalem.
Authority was already developing
in the early Church; and whether
it was to check up in a sort OF
official way upon what Philip was
doing or whether the saints at Jeru.
salem wished to encourage tn I
work that Philip was doing, Peter
and John were sent from Jerusa-
lem into Samaria. They were evi.

they did not find the Christians

A jarring but very important note
is in our lesson in the story o1
Simon the Sorcerer, a type Of the
fakir, semi-fakir, or men Of mix
ed motives and outward sincerity
who have been parasites upon re
ligious movements through all the
history of religion.
The sin of Simony-that is, thu
use of religion for monetary gair
or personal profit-takes its name
from this sorcerer, who professet
Christian conversion but whose

.1lks. The second requires at tention on the part of the hunter. The woods and fields are not paved streets, and if you don't want to stumble, watch out.
 One of the best ways to prevent shooting accidents Is to never al- low the muzzle of your gun to point at anyone. Obviously, if there is no one in the line of fire, no one will get hurt. This in- wolves carrying the gun in such manner that you can control the direction of the muzzle if you stumble. Protect the trigger so that a twig will not become en- tangled in 1t and discharge the gun when you are going through brush.
 Finally, dear brothers, NEVER leave a gun loaded. Carry it empty in your car, and to make it doub- ly sure, take it down and leave the action open. DON'T leave the gun loaded and leaning against a tree while you eat lunch, unload 1t and leave the action open. Take your gun down and leave the ac- tion open after you have unload ed it on returning to camp. And first, last and all the time, handle every gun as though you knew 1t was loaded. When you have done all these, you will have no fear of doughless Thursdays. Give it a thought.

FEB Hunters Be Careful

While the number of hunting ac- cidentS in Connecticut has never been large, there have been enough minor injuries this fall to show that word of caution Is not amiss under the conditions. Exercise of ordinary caution will avert most accidents.
 Trigger happy" hunters are re- sponsible for more injuries to others than any other class. Now it may be all very well to be trig- ger happy when you're hunting JapS or Nazis, for then the slow on the trigger are the dead and wounded. But no such compulsion exists when you're out hunting. The worst that can happen If you delay firing until you are sure that you know what you're shoot ing at, will be that you miss bird or an animal = annoying, but not really harmful. At any rate it will assure that your game is not of the human variety. It's almost incredible to hear what people have been mistaken for by hunters who answer that impulse to fire at the first moving thing they see, and a man who can miss barn at 10 feet will turn out to be Dead Eye Dick when his target Is a human being mistaken for a woodchuck, rabbit. deer or bird.
 Many self-inflicted shotgun wounds are occasioned when a hunter slips or stumbles. The first cause points to the necessity of wearing suitable boots or shoes, which will not slip on pine needles, grass, or other glassy material. Rubber shoes or caulks, are favor ties and ye ed personally prefers

A long. Timber shaft is apt to get away from me on the backSwing. There's a swell parallel here between box ing and golf. In the ring, it's easier to time short jolting punch than long, looping blow.

Frank was burly and built for these crashing line plays. Scusseu is fast and good for the blockers. People around this sec tion watched him play with Wind ham against Bulkeley and Tech and Norwich and didn't rave too much But not now It is our belief that if the DieSels Freddie Mitchell, had the same break, he might be shadowing the Scooter, if not ahead of him.

Ray Packer, Worlds Champion Hunter

Ray Packer, former glamor boy. World War l veteran, and at the present time, foreman in the South yard tinshop. second shift, is quite a hunter. As fisherman, he is in plain English, lousy"
 Above is a snap of Ray with his dog and one of his prize catches.
 He claims to be a mot so bad" shot when it comes to shooting birds on the wing.
 One day recently, Ray was out after some rabbits; the dog brought a nice one right up in front of Ray. The rabbit stood on his launches and defied Ray to shoot 50 close that he could have hit him with the butt of his gun.
 To make a long story short, Ray didn't get the rabbit.
