9 vreamea ,cj I I On 8.& 1 flrvdi -- * i Creamed comments on the Sunday school lesson, “Jesus Calls Forth Faith,” Mark 9:14-29. for Sunday, January 4th. In today’s lesson we find Jesus returning from the glory of the transfiguration to find human need at the foot of the mountain. The purpose of this lesson is to demonstrate the power of faith as it is inspired by Jesus and how such faith is the result of vital, effective prayer. V. 14. “And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.” Jesus took Peter, James and John with him to the mount of transfiguration, leaving the nine disciples below at the foot of the mountain. The scribes were questioning and taunting these disciples as Jesus came upon the scene because of their failure to heal the epileptic boy. V. 15. “And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to hjm saluted him.” Some of the transfiguration glory no doubt lingered on Christ’s countenance, just as Moses* face shone as he Came down from Mount Sinai, where he had been in the presence of God. Their saluting Jesus probably meant they prostrated themselves , before him. Vs. 16,17,18. “And he asked the scribes. What question ye with them? . . . And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son. ' which hath a dumb spirit; ... And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him, and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth •way: and I spake to thy disciples and they could not.” Christ’s question brought out what the people were discussing. The father had expected to find Jesus when he brought his son, but, failing this, he sought the help of the disciples in casting out the evil spirit. The son’s illness would today be diagnosed as epilepsy. The child was also deaf and dumb. V. 19. “He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.’* Jesus realized at once the lack of faith both on the part of the disciples and the father, as well as the multitude. Having just seen God’s great power to help people, as he witnessed it on the mount of transfiguration, .be was grieved to see how slowly people responded to'God in complete faith. The disciples failed because they did not exercise authority in Jesus’ name. Vs. 20,21,22. “And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed, foaming . . . And he asked his father, How long ago since this came unto him? And he said, Os a child . . . And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, compassion on us, and help us.” This boy was afflicted with a severe illness which could be helped only by a deep faith. The father did not fully believe the child could be helped, but in desperation, and out of his love for his son, he pleaded for help if Jesus could give it, both to help the boy and relieve his terrific anxiety. V. 23. “And Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.” It is not a question of God’s ability, but of man’s faith. Man cannot measure what faith can do and he must not despair of help. God’s power is menective unless a man has deep faith in his power. V. 24. “And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believeth; help thou mine unbelief.” The father first confessed his belief in Christ’s ability to heal his son, then he in- ] dicated his realization that Jesus’ , rebuke, for his lack of faith was < justified and asked for help that j he might have greater faith. Vs. 25-27. “When Jesus saw that < the people came running together, ( he rebuked the foul spirit, saying , unto him, Thou dumb and deaf ( spirit, I charge thee, come out of {

I him, and enter no more into him. I . . . But Jesus took him by the I hand, and fitted him up; and he I arope." Jesus knew the father had I learned his lesson in faith and he I went into action and healed the | boy. The miracle of healing seemed less important than the miracle of i- a great faith demonstrated by the s father.* r Vs. 28, 29. “And when he came into the house, his disciples asked s him privately, Why could not we s cast him out? . . . And he said 1 unto them. This kind can come s forth by nothing but by prayer and - fasting.” The disciples were hus mifiated by their failure to cure i the boy. Their prayer fife had not • been faithful or earnest enough to prepare them for this difficult task.

The simple and impressive consecration, the first ceremony of its kind performed by Pope John • in his eight-week reign, wound up ■ a busy Christmas season during which he visited patients in hos- , pital and prisoners in jail. The most impressive figure i among today’s new bishops was < 70 - year -old Domenico Cardinal ] Tardini, who has headed the Vat- ’

Scan “state department” for 14 years without ever seeking to be a cardinal or a bishop. Tardini, then pro-secretary of state, asked to be spared the honor of cardinalship when it was offered to him by Pope Pius XII in 1953. He accepted* the red hat only when he was urged again this month by the new Pontiff, who also appointed him secretary of state. Tardini was never a-bishop, although all of the apostolic nuncios and internuncios serving under him at the secretariat of state' were. Today, the Pope consecrat? ed him titular archbishop of Laodicea in Syria. Whitewash* The task of applying whitewash can be made much easier if some salt is added to the whitewash. This makes it stick. Over 2,500 Daily Democrats are sold and delivered in Decatur each day.

Kefauver Injured On Soap Box Racer Ride Tennessee Senator Suffers Leg Injury WASHINGTON (UPI) — Sen. Estes Kefauver (D-Tenn.), the victim of a borrowed Christmas present, gamely celebrated the remainder of the Yuletide week end today from a hospital bed.* The senator took a gay but .disastrous ride in a young neighbor’s new. flashy soap box'racer. The result: Several sprained ligaments in one of the senator’s legs and an out-bf-kilter senatorial kneecap. The senator’s 12-year-old son, David started it all. Here — as a spokesman told it — is what happened: David has a home-made soap box racer. He always considered that it was a pretty fine piece of equipment. Eyes Bug Out But Christmas Day he saw tomething that made his eyes bug out. His school chum and neighbor, John Harrell, drove up in a shiny factory-made model that had turned up under the Harrell Christmas tree. After a few trial heats, David went home and announced he wanted to trade in his old heap for a new one. The senator said he wanted to see John’s car before any decision was reached. Then Kefauver decided to give John’s racer a trial run himself. Kefauver folded his 6-foot 3-inch frame into the little racer and shoved off with a laugh down a hill near his house in northwest Washington.

They also told him he would have j to keep the cast on three weeks. ] The spokesman said Kefauver Was in good spirits. But there's j bad news for David: Nix on that racer.

Young Asia Nations Change Governments Seek Governments Which Will Work TOKYO (UPl)—Democracy and communism took beatings in Asia this year as young nations ” searched desperately for governments that would work. Democracy went by the boards in Burma, Thailand and Pakistan , when military strongmen booted out the politicians one after another in a 25-day rash of coups. The general promised to bring stability to their nations, without elected officials around to mess up. Communism lost ground, too, as a result of two armed flare-ups .that left free Asia's nerves badly frayed. * One—the Indonesian rebellion—was launched by army officers who feared that President Sukarno’s “guided democracy” would guide the strategic archipelago straight to communism. By the end of the year the rebellion was crushed, but so were the Communists. Reds Back Off The other—the Quemoy crisis—was touched off by the Chinese Commtinists on Aug. 23 with a sudden, brutal artillery barrage. The guns are still firing, but not so often now. The Reds clearly have backed off—at least for the time being.. Asia’s biggest men were around at the end of 1958 but some changes were in the works. India’s Prime Minister Nehru threatened to resign, then changed his mind. Red China's Mao Tsetung did resign from the govern-ment-effective next March — but he still held supreme power as Communist Party boss. Syngman Rhee <B3 years old) and Chiang Kai-shek <7l? continued to run things in South Korea and Nationalist China respectively, but both have promised to end their careers in 1960. Asia’s statesmen covered a lot of mileage in 1958, on both sides of the Bamboo Curtain. North Korea’s Kim II Sung visited his Communist comrades, Mao and Ho Chi Minh of North

Viet Nam. Cambodia’s premier. Prince Norodon Sihanouk, made a pilgrimage to Peiping after he recognized Red China. But Mao’s most important guest was Nikita' Khrushchev, boss of the Soviet Union, who dropped in for a fourday visit to Peiping at the end of July. Japan’s Premier Nobusuke Kish’ was Asia’s busiest host as leading politicians repaid him for his * fence - mending swings through Southeast Asia in 1957. Presidents Carlos Garcia of the Philippines. Rajendra Prasad of India and Sukarno of Indonesia came to Tokyo, as well as Premiers Tengku Ab dul Rahman of Malaya and Souvanna Phouma of Laos. Old Feuds Continue Despite the endless wave of goodwill visits, however, some of Asia’s oldest feuds remained simmering in 1958 and a few new ones were tossed into the fire. Japan and South Korea struggled to establish diplomatic relations, but mutual distrust was a barrier. Indonesia and the Philippines quarreled bitterly during the Sumatra and Celebes rebellions. Cambodia was at odds with Thailand and South Viet Nam over border problems. India and Pakistan growled at one another about Kashmir and the problem of the waters of the Indus River. Red China had trouble with just about everybody. Peiping broke off trade relations with Japan in April and with Malaya and Singapore in November. Thailand and South Viet Nam were worried about Communist Chinese subversion and Burma was worried about border incidents. The cold shoulder was more fashionable than the hearty handshake in Asia’s diplomatic dealings for 1958, but there were a few items on the credit side. Japan moved closer to mutual friendship with the Philippines, Indonesia and some of the war-rav-aged nations of Southeast Asia. The feeling was strong, however, that Japanese friendship was welteome as long as hard cash went with it. Nothing can take the place of an all-absorbing purpose-neither education, genius, talent, will power or industry, is a satisfactory substitute.
