When Men Obey

N , A MATTER OF FACT, even
the earliest church was slow
to pay real attention to Christ's
command, Forward! Men are
strange creatures. And one of the
strange things about us is that we
often have to be scared into doing
our duty.
1t took the persecution set off by
the death of Stephen to move the
Christians in Jerusalem out along
the roads south, north, east, any
where to get away from the city Of
death. Everywhere they went, they
told the story of Jesus.
But at first 1t was all rather
breathless and informal. "Why
are you here?" one of. these
DPS would be asked, as he
was passing through Samaria
or Antioch or Alexandria, per-
haps in the bread-line, perhaps
looking for place to work and
settle down. I'm a refugee
from jerusalem" he would
say. But why?" ''Well, I'm
Christian" whats that?"
So the story would be told all
over again. the good news about
Co.'s grace in Christ. So the
church spread. Today, though an
enormous part of the worlds pop
ulation is still unwon, there are
Christians in so many lands that
the Bible-all or parts Of it-has
had to be translated into more than
one thousand different languages
and dialects.
Unto All Men
NNE OF THE MOST interesting
~ and surprising little books Of
recent years is called ''They Found
the Church There" by H. P. Van
Dusen. It is the dramatic story of
how the American CT. to his great
astonishment, found Christians in
the most unexpected places.
1t is a tremendous mistake
to think that the Christian re-
ligion is only for English-speak-
ing peoples, or for Europeans,
or for white people. 1t began
among people whom most read
ers of this column would set
down as 'fOreigners.'
Christ can be as much at home
in an igloo or a wigwam as he is
in an American farmhouse or in an
efficiency apartment on the city
boulevard He comes to all men.

OUTDOORS
With Bill leetch

Those of you who hit Mary
lands trout streams early on
opening day last Saturday don't
need to be told how cold 1t was.
Although 1t took us about five
minutes to change streamers, we
had lot of fun and caught a few
fish.
The anglers who used angle
worms and those who fished deep
with streamers had all the best
OF it. However. as Is our usual
custom. we tried out a fan-wing
Royal Coachman. dry, in mid
morning, and as usual caught fish,
though mostly small brookies.
High winds and a heavy overcast
at times did not help much.
Rising temperatures on Sunday
and Monday eased the situation
tremendously, and some nice fish
were taken on those days. Streams
seemed amply stocked with good
sized trout. but if the crowds
which fished on opening day are
criterion of the numbers of
anglers this week. the pickings
are going to be pretty slim after
next week end until another
stock of fish.
Shad fishing was not very good
over the week end, especially in
the shallower streams. The sudden
cold snap checked the runs which
had started up the first of the
week. However. the white perch
in the Potomac bit freely over the
week end on both blood worms
and small live minnows. These
fish are running to good size this
spring, and are DELICIOUS eating.
The National Capital Skeet Club
will hold 1850 Sesquicentennial
Skeet Shoot at the club off Bradley
boulevard on Saturday and Sun
day, April % and 30. The shoot
will start at 8 am. Saturday and
8 am. Sunday.
Virginia's trout season opens on
Thursday. April 20. Anglers will
find streams in that State well
stocked with legal-size fish. Those
not familiar with Virginia's trout
streams should write the Commits
sion of Game and Inland Fish
cries. Richmond. Va, for a list
of stocked streams. Then they
should purchase Typographical
maps covering the areas in which
these streams lie from the Map
Section of the Interior Depart
ment.

Rangers Boost Hopes
For Hockey Cup With
Second Series Win
BY the Assoeicied Press

DETROIT, April 19.-The STAN
ley Cup hopes of the underdog
New York Rangers were on the
upgrade today after they beat
the Detroit Red Wings. 4-3, in
overtime last night to even the
series at two games apiece.
1t was strictly an uphill battle
for the temporarily orphaned
Rangers, who will have to play
the remaining games in the best
of-seven series on Detroit ice.
Their own playing site at Mad
ison Square Garden is being used
by a circus. r..
The New Yorkers played some
pretty dismal hockey in the first
period as they gave up a pair of
goals and we're outplayed, out
skated and outfought.
They trailed, 81, with only
about II minutes of regulation
play left, and the Red Wings and
1857 fans were just about con-
vinced that the game was in the
bag.
But then the New Yorkers
showed an amazing reversal of
form. They carried the play to
Detroit. banging in a pair of goals
to tie it up and send the game
into overtime.
The tying goal, a short push
shot off the stick of Gus Kyle,
came at 1925 of the final period
and touched off the most heated
demonstration of the night. De-
troit claimed there had been inter-
ference on the play, but the claim
was disallowed.
The overtime period was a slam
bang affair, marking the first time
in the playof series that the two
clubs had gone in for really rough
play.
Ranger Center Don Raleigh
ended that interlude at 8:34 as
he stole the puck from Joe Car
veth behind the Detroit net, skated
around and poked a short one past
Goalie Harry Lumley to give New
York its win.
