In the early history of Israel the religion, of the faithful was constantly subject to me allure ments of idolatry, and the im moral practices associated with the idolatry of the surrounding peoples. When Greece became dominant through me woua con quests of Alexander the Great, effort was made to corrupt the religion of Judaism by the infil tration of Grecian pagan ideas and Dractices. It was against this that the Maccabees made their valient .fight, and that many of the Jews were faithful despite cruel "persecution. Through de feat, exile, and dispersion the Jewish people had learned their lesson. It was a purified rem nant that came back to Jeru salem from Babylon, and Jews scattered throughout the ancient world, instead of succumbing to the pagan life around them, cher ished the more the religion of their fathers and of their home land, worshipping, wherever they were, with their faces toward Jerusalem. Many Gentiles, reacting against the moral laxity and li centiousness of their pagan en vironment, and observing Juda ism's emphasis upon the moral law, were converts to Judaism. In this way among devout Jews and Gentiles barriers were es tablished against paganism that mado the work oi the Christian ehurah and its growth easier. But, the real power of the church was in the faith and zeal of the Christian disciples. The Aposlles tok the commission to go into ail the world and preach the Gospel with deep seriousness, and greatest of all from the standpoint of missionary fervor and achievement was the new Apostle, Paul. This remarkable man, who had lived in all good conscience trom his youth, and who in his- conscientious zeal had persecuted the Christians, when he perceived the truth of the new way became as eainest in his propagandism for his new found faith. .-Perhaps his zeal Get It HaH can harvest your , crops and steal your j' profits unles.4 , you have adequate, low-cost, i fiatl insyi-ance protection. o G Ofi'c PfcR ACRE WHKAT, RAftLEY AM) OATS e l.W I'KU ACR.fi PEAS OK ALL JYPKS., KRfrr & v ink" crops ': of th cost of the full insured value per acre.

It was symbolic of the work and purpose of the Christian church that the disciples should have been first called Christians at Antioch. Antioch in Syria was on of 16 Antioches in the ancient world, which the con queror Seleucus Nakator built and named in honor of his fa ther. At the time of the early church it was a gorgeous and beautiful city, 14 miles from the sea on the navigable river, the Orontes. Its splendor is. sug gested by the fact that a double colonnaded corso ran fiom east lo west of the city for five miles in a straight, line, and in wet weather the populace could walk from end to. end under cover. Trees, flowers pnd ifountains adorned the promenade. ... But it was a wicked and licen tious city, so much so that when moral degradation reached a low point in Rome, Juvenal wrote that "the Orontes had flowed into the Tiber." Now the Christian church exists, not for the enjoyment and edification of its own members alone, but to minister the Gospel, and bring salvation to a lost world. It was fitting that in a corrupt, city of OUU.UUU people, . tfte disciples should have been called Chris- tains. The name befitted their character and their purpose. It is whr-3 sin abounds that grace is needed. BLOCKED Eleventh street, New York City, extends from the North River to the East river without crossing Broadway.

WASHINGTON, June 2?,, (UP) Civilians will get more canned fruits, fruit juices and vegetables from this year's crop than previ ously expected, according io war food administrator Marvin Jones.

Jones explained that the armed forces have cut their require; ments five per cent on vegetables and seven per cnt on fiuits.
