rCreamedHpn I Comments J&l I On &S. Qi || I-esson Ajffggl CREAMED COMMENTS ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON, JESUS SHARES HIS MINISTRY, Mark 6:6-13, for Sunday, Decem- , ber 14. Jesus is on a missionary tour in Galilee. The pressing crowds remind him that He cannot accomplish alone all He wishes to accomplish. He feels it is now time to send out his disciples whom he has trained and he gives them His “marching orders.” Hie purpose of the lesson is to help us realize the privileges and responsibilities involved in being an active disciple of Christ. V. 6. "And he went round about the villages, teaching.” Jesus' concern for the common people is evidenced in this lesson. He did not confine his ministry to Jerusalem Or the large cities but was content to center his ministry in Galilee, visiting the villages and meeting their people. His teaching consist ted of a forceful reassurance of God’s love and desire to achieve his purpose in the lives of men; he laid down certain moral principles and directives for the conduct of a true believer and finally he proclaimed the plan of salvation. V.7. “And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth two by two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;” Jesus chose twelve disciples to conform to the number of the twelve tribes of Israel. By sending six pairs of apostles in six different directions, he could greatly increase the extent of his ministry. Going “two by two” enabled them to assist and encourage each other. Authority over the unclean

r spirits meant power to cast out I demons—to heal those sick in | mind or body. The ancients comI mondly believed that any form of I insanity or mental abnormality was a result of being possessed by a demon. I V.B. “And commanded them that they should take nothing for their I journey, save a staff only; no , scrip, no bread, no money in their , purse:” The apostles were to go • on a short journey and there was no need for burdening themselves i with a lot of equipment. He want- ■ ed them to be free from concern • over incicentals and concentrate on their mission. They were to i take no money and no bread but depend upon the hospitality of l their hearers. They were to be a- ■ mong friendly people, some of whom they knew, and could expect hospitality. V. 9. “But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats." Sandals were the customary footwear for those who walked a lot. One coat or tunic was considered enough for their needs. A second coat might give an appearance of affluence. V.-10. “And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.” Whenever the apostles found hospitable lodging offered them, they were to stay there and not look around for a more comfortable place or move from a humble h o m e to better quarters.. V.ll. “And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodo mand Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city." When the people to whom the d i c i p 1 e s preached rejected their message, then their responsibility was at an end and they were to move on where they would be reeived. These unfriendly people who refused to listen to the gospel would have to answer to God in the day of judgment, just as the people of Sodom and Gomorrha. V. 12. “And they went out, and preached that men should repent.” The apostles proclaimed the message of repentance from sin just as John the Baptist and Jesus had done. V. 13. “And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.” The ancients used oil in medication; here its use seems to have been ceremonial as well, a syml bolos the divine Spirit's touch on an afflicted body in supernatural healing. —Based on copyrighted outlines produced by the Division of Christian Education, National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A.. and used by permission.

Society's Altitude Toward Aged Wrong Urges Science Stop Being Theoretical By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor NEW YORK (UPI) — Science must stop being theoretical] about the problems of old people and start being aware there is something fundamentally wrong in society’s attitude toward the aged, a psychiatrist who has explored many old minds told a scientific meeting. “True, we don’t kill them any more as do some primitive tribes although it would be an act of mercy in some cases,” said Dr. Joost A. M. Meerloo. “Neither do they have to obey the law of suicide as in other tribes. “What are we doing in our society? We have a fetish which dominates our thinking — the glamor of youth. We hate the appearance of gray hair and wrinkles. A culture of glamor and success tolerates only rising suc- ■ “That is why every suggestion of decline becomes so traumatic. This is true not only for old age but whenever no chance of a return to success is possible. .Retirement for many is symbolic of I the message, ‘now you must die.’ And many obey the verdict rather soon. Work Symbolizes Value “Those who make the compul-1 sive rules of retirement have forgotten that work is not only a i means of earning a living but that it is part of a value system that keeps up man’s self-esteem. It symbolizes man’s value in the eyes of others, especially the sex partner. No work, no libido.” Meerloo has worked with the aged for years, first in Rotterdam, now in New York. He works with their minds and emotions, using the tools of psychotherapy, which include those of psychoanalysis. His patients are both private and clients of New York's Vanderbilt Clinic.

His oldest regular patients are 72, 73, 82 and 86. A medical student asked him “why we so ardently try to treat those aged patients who had no future,” he said. * “I answered him that we do so because psychotherapy gives them back their past. For many a patient it is a stimulating experience to discover that his own past can be explored in the light of today’s self-understanding and possibilities for new adjustment.” Piling Up Literature Science is piling up a vast literature on the problems of aging and the aged, but there’s hardly anything in it about what doctors can do about them in a curative way, he said. Doctors are reluctant to work with the aged, he said, and usually this is because of their own unresolved relationships with their own parents and the general fear of growing old. Yet psychotherapy can be successful in 50 per cent of senile, cases, in his opinion, even when there is definite body damage due to aging, such as hardened arteries in the brain. The big trouble is that science prescribes theoretic geriatric rules which are followed up by socal workers only. Science must be thoroughly realistic about the problems, since 25 per cent of the population now is over 50. “It is no fun to grow old and to witness the breakdown of many of. the body instruments| and powers we have trained and

built up during a life time," Meerloo said. “In an aggressive, c'ompetitive society, old age is looked on as a handicap. It is no fun to find oneself rejected and depressed and to be subjected to the same emotional traumatic difficulties we had to overcome in our infancy.” Meerloo’s lecture is being circulated among its members by the Medical Society of the state of New York.
