Golden Text Th« time Lord over all is rich â- nto all that call upon Him. Ro- maic 10:12. Peter's Scnnon Arts 10:34.â€" The eyes uJ Peter had been opened as a result of his vis- ion. Now he had learned that God kad respect for the Gentiles as well •s for the Jews; that He loved both Jews and Gentiles; that salvation was not exclusive to the Jewish nation. 35. â€" The man who honors God and keeps His law, and is a true wor- shipper of God according to his light and privileges is approved by God. Cornelius had faith in God and his sincerity was proved in that he embraced Christ as his Saviour when the truth was revealed to juns. Christ, the Messiah 36-38 â€" At His baptism the Lord received the anointing of the Holy Spirk. That He was the Messiah was proved by His works of. power and goodness. In those simple words, "Who went about doing good," we have such a true de> scription of the Lord Jesus. He did good because perfect goodness was one of His attributes. Fint-Haiid Witnesses 39-40. â€" The truth of the historical farts of Christ's death and resur- rcrtion is confirmed b> men who were first-hand witnesses. Our faith is built not only on our spir- itual experience of Christ, but on a solid foundation of incontestable fact. It was unnecessary foi Christ to show Himself to "all the people" to prove the truth of His ressurrec- tJon. Even though He had done so many would not have accepted Him. Salvation for All 42-43. â€" When our Lord command- ed His disciples to preach the Gos- pel he gave them a wide commis- sion, tc teach all nations. The prophets fortold that all nations would be blessed through the com- ing of Christ, and thit salvation would be given to all who called on Him. The calling and salvation of the GentiTes was seen afar off. Here is a great truth. "Through His Name whosoever believeth in Him shall receive remi,ssion of sins." The word "whosoever" em- braces everybody. Modern Etiquette By Roberta Lee 1.

To recall the right, and forgive the wrong; To forget the thing that binds you fast To the vain regrets of the year that's past. To have the strength to le; go your hold Of the no^worth-wI^ile of the days grown old. To dare go forth with a purpose true, To the unknown task of the year that's new; To help your brother along th" road; To do his work and lift his load: To add your gift to the world's good cheer Is to have and to give a Happy New Year. â€" Robert Brewster Beattie.

WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING Blind Aid The blind may soon have an electrical gadget to help them get around without bumping into ob- stacles. The basic idea, now being workedoit by the Army Signal Corps, is a small box shooting out a narrovy beam of light. Time re- ports By turning the beam from STOPS COUGHS ISSUK S^-19*i aide to side, the blind man can feel his way. When the beam hits a lamp-post, a fence or any such obstacle, its light reflects back to a lens and is focused on a photo- electric cell. .A gentle ouzz in an earphone warns him that the ob- stacle is near. The blind man can tell its direction by pointing his box. He can learn to tell how far away it is by the length of the buzz. One problem in designing the inatmme:;t was to eliminate false signals from sunshine or artificial light Sc the beam was made to pulsate like the radio waves from a radar transmitter, and the photo- electric tube v.as made insensitive to non-pulsatiny light. At present, the "optical cane" is heavy (nine pounds! 'and cannot 'see" rtarrow obstacles such as hanging wires. The signal corps intends to iron out all such com- paratively minor faults before of- fering its invention to the blind.

GriceMorgan may decide to put a test well on Harper's land. If they should do t!:at â€" and the well came in, you'd know definitely that it was worth while going ahead with this proposition And if they get a dry hole, you will have saved yourself a lot of trouble and mor.ey." "If they did get a dry hole," ar- gued Harvey stubbornly, "that wouldn't prove that there wasn't oil on my place. Maybe I've got oil and there isn't any on Harper's land. That would be a swell joke on the old buzzard, wouldn't it?" .AIread>, in his racing imagina- tion, Harvey was completely de- tached from the present. .â- \delaide was too busy to drive Gary over into tlie oil field. "It's the dance at the country ciub, Gary â€" t!ie spring dance. It's supposed to be Friday night and I'm on the decorating committee." Gary grinned. "Now we return to the original question, which is â€" how am I goin^ to get to east Tex- as 1 could go on the bus but it would take all day to walk around the field after I got there. I'd lose a lot of flme." "Get Mother to drive you over. It will do her good to get out. And don't forget, you're invited to the dance, Gary." Gary said, a trifle stiffly. "Sorry â€" I'm afraid I'll be busy." Think- ing that 'nis be?t suit .vould look shabby at a dance, no matter what a cleaner could do for it â€" and, ot course. .Adelaide would be going with some other fellow â€" Bob Fer- guson, probably. " • • When the big red concrete ma- chine came roaring up the drive, Harvey had not been ab!e as yet to complete arrangements about wa- ter. .Adelaide sat, excitedly, on an overturned chicken coop, watching the forms being put together and the cement poured in. The rigging crew arrived, and Gary watched them piling off the truck, and gave a shout. "Bill Grant! You old son-of-a-gun I" A tall, bronzed, muscular yornig fellow took a broad jump off the truck and came running. "Hi â€" Gary 1 What the heck are you do- itg here " They beat each other on the back and pumped hands, while .\delaide watched. "Putting down this well. .Ade- laide, this is Bill Grant, the rotten- est football player that ever fum- . bled a ball. Bill was in school with me. What are you doing with this bunch. Bill;'' "Still sticking 'em up. Worked at it three vacations â€" then I got out of school and there wasn't any job^so I'm back being a punk again. How do vou do. Miss Ma- jon?" "So nice you know each other. Gary, to meet Mother. Were you en the same football team'" "Two years. Them was the days, hty, Gary? .And now we're dirty working men and the gals dont give us a look. Not that you're doing so bad, though, you mug. He always wa; a heartbreaker. Miss Mason." * • • The men on the truck began to yelL "Gotta go. boys an-i gals," Bill said. "See you later." He strode away, his long legs swinging in easy rythm. 'He's nice â€" 1 like him." Ade- laide said. "I'll invite him to the dance." "He shou'd be throueh and gone by Friday." "Oh, he'll stayâ€" I know he will ii 1 ask him." "Listen .\uelaide. Don't count on me for that dance. I'm idl crippled up and I haven't the right clothes â€" " "Oh, Gary, don't be such a mugl Why, I turned down a half a doa- en dates to go to that dance with you. Don't you want to take me?" "Oh, Great Scottâ€"" he burned with confusion. "Of course I want to! But â€" I thought you'd have an- other date â€" " "You're s.veet. Gary." She pat- ted his arm and he forebore to wince when .she hit a lame spot. "It's too bad you are so awfully dumb!" • » • The shining steel went up and Gary's heart seemed to soar with it, to weave a glittering web against the .April sky. He did not climb, because his grip was still precarious, but he was rigging that derrick in his mind, clinching every bolt, swinging up every humming beam. At noon he sent word to the house by Slim t.hat he was stay- ing on the job and sat down with the rigging crew to share the lunch that had been brought out in the clattering truck. Bill Grant had declined the invi- tation to have lunch at the house, because he was wearing working clothes and hadn't had time to shave for a couple of days. "If I'd known I was going to m.eet a girl like that, I'd have pi-t on some ciean corduroys, and bear's grease on my hair Some guys have all the luck. This Ma- son has money, hasn't he? .Any man who'll put a wildcat do-.vn on Ijis own must have a roll. Maybe I won't go down to the coast. Ma>- bi I'll stick around for thaf dance, f can always get a job.' .And that, Gary thought dubious- ly, was not such a good idea, either. ( To be continued'' â- "Over everything" apron.
