BIBLE COMMENT
■ FOR JAN. 19
Church Was Built
On Conversion
And Fellowship
FTPON the foundation of Jesus
^ Cht-iy ' the early Christie
church vffis built by two things—
conversion and fellowship.
The first great in-gathering was
on the Day of Pentecost, 50. days
after the Passover, when Peter
preached with such power and
boldness that many were moved
to cry out in repentance. "What
shall we do?" About three thou-
sand were then converted and
baptized. This company of be
lievers was soon increased, for we
are told that the Lord added to
the church daily such as were
being saved (Acts 2:47).
But someone has said that no
one goes to heaven alone, and the
first immediate manifestation of
this new life in .conversion was an.
intense ^clinging of Christians to
one another in a fellowship so
deep and strong that at first they
held all things in common.
The real strength of the early
Christian church was in the waj
the individual Christians, with a
new sense of the worth of theii
own souls, loved one another. It,
became a byword,* marking them
from the world in which they
lived. "See how these Christians
love one another."
The Christian church today is a
vast community of many churches,
comprising many lands, and many
people of all sorts. It is an his-
toric institution,' as well as a fel-
lowship of the sincerely devout
and consecrated. People join the
church from various motives, and
many attend the services and sup-
port the church financially, who
have never joined it at all, or
professed any vital experience of
conversion, such as transformed
t^ie early Christians.
It is the continuing evidence of
Christ's presence and power, the
deepest, finest, strongest thing in
all the world. Would that there
were more in that great company
of jincere Christians! But let us
never forget how great it is, or
what that Christian fellowship
means to a world in need, more
in need than it is ever willing to
acknowledge.

important styling changes and improvements for safety and comfort Its high compression engine and,
mechanical features provide lively, economical performance.
°lymouth Has New Look
Both Coming and Goinl
The 1950 Plymouth car, with im-
portant styling^changes and improve-
ments .for safety and riding comfort,
will go on display in dealer show-
rooms throughout the country Jan-
uary 12.
There are new lines in the silhou-
ette which give the new Plymouth a
longer, lower, more streamlined ap-
pearance. The changes are readily
apparent whether viewed from front,
rear, or side.
Rear fenders, which are bolted on
for economical removal in case re-
pairs are necessary, have been re-
styled and lengthened. A larger rear
window on club coupes and four-
door sedans, slightly greater over-all
width, and alterations on the rear
deck provide a longer, heavier, road-
hugging appearance for all models.
The grille has been simplified and
made more massive. It consists of
two large horizontal bars with a
curved-down top member and a
single vertical bar at the center.
Above the grille the Plymouth name
plate appears in larger block letters,
and a bigger, more colorful medal-
lion has been placed over the name
plate.
Described as "Packed with value
and ready to prove it," the new
Plymouth was characterized by D.
S. Eddins, president of Plymouth, as
"""he greatest car value we have
ever offered the public."
"When we speak of value," Eddins
said, "we mean that we have com-
bined beauty with sensible styling,
that we have achieved big-car per-
formance w-ith—small-car.economy,
and that the mechanical excellence
of which we have always been
proud has maintained its high level."
The front and rear tread haye
been increased, a factor which in-
creases stability, eases tire loading
stress on curves, and enhances the
car's general appearance. Thirty-two
per cent larger than on previous
models, the new rear window in-
creases visibility and its lines blend
into the car's new streamlining
motif. The window is &*f!%..a newly
designed locking rubber stak
There are larger bumpers on both
front and rear. In addition to pro-
viding greater protection for the
grille, rear deck and fenders, the
bumpers add materially to the gen-
eral appearance of massiveness.
The theme of simplicity which has
been carried out in the medallion
and name plate on the front has
been continued in the ornar
of the rear deck. The block-li
name plate, the license plate
ornament, the license plate
and the T-shaped luggage
ment handle are styled to accent]
car's low, sleek lines. Combii
tail lights and stop lights aitj
into each rear fender.
The redesigned instrument
provides new backgrounds of
parent gunmetal on spun alu
for the gauge dials, speedo
radio dial, and clock. The
finish is also used on the radio 1
screen. There are larger
switch knobs which are ea
operate.
Features for performance, 1
and safety which were previa
troduced in the Plymouth line i
been retained. The car has
teristic interior roominess, a mil
head and leg room, and wide, 1
chair-height seats. The six-cylin
97-horsepower engine has a 7 i
compression ratio. The combii
ignition and, starter switch,
matic electric choke, supers
tires, safe-guard hydraulic
and safety-rim wheels are among |
"high-priced car" features conti
in the new Plymouth. -
