Reports Recovery Mede By Business Major Elements Os Demand Still Lag WASHINGTON (UPD — Commerce Secretary Lewis L. Strauss said today that business had made a'.'quick and substantial‘recovery” from the recent recession. - "We start the new Year from a position of increasing strength and of growing confidence,” he said. But he warned that “while the expansion in business since last spring has been substantial and the base of recovery’lias widened, some major elements of demand are still lagging.” For example, Strauss said, in a year - end statement, there “is as yet no clear-cut evidence of a renewed upswing" in business outlays for new plant and equipment. “The latest survey of intentions by businessmen for the first quarter of the new year indicates firm•tng tendencies,” he continued, “but an investment rate only -slightly in advance of the final quarter of 1958. Two other sectors of the economy which must show marked improvement if economic recovery i is to continue unabated, he stated, l-were the automobile industry and exports.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

——oml Bible Material: Ma* Watthew 17:14-18. Deratteaal Beediac: Romans 10:8-17. Call for Faith LeMOB for January 4, 1959 THE TOP and the bottom of a mountain often have quit* different climates. In one case known to us, this difference in climate was not a matter of weather alone. You might say it reversed the weather. The particular mountain where these events are believed to have taken place, is so high that it bears snow even in the MT . height of summer. But on the MM particular occa- | sion of our story, , the summer was at the top, the I winter at the hot- / tom. At the summit was a scene Foreman *of glory and of peace; at the bottom was a scene of hustle, bustle, struggle . . . anything but glory. At the top was everything to encourage faith; at the bottom everything to discourage it. Three QeestleM Nevertheless it was at the bottom of the mountain that faith was most needed. The reader is invited to picture the story for himself. A crowd of bystanders . . . most of the incidents recorded in Jesus’ life had this background of the gawking crowd. The disciples, reduced, hot and flustered, trying to 9 do a miracle and falling flat. The boy and man who were the center of the crowd; the boy an epileptic perhaps even then in a convulsion, and his distracted father, begging for help but getting none. Epilepsy is a disease of the nervous system which is always embarassing and sometimes dangerous. In those days (and in these too. without special medical help) attacks would coriie on without warning. The patient falls unconscious; if near water, he may drown, or if by a fireside, he may burn to death without help. Epileptics are not crazy, indeed they are often brighter than “normal" people. But they cannot often hold well-paid jobs, and in superstitious communities no one will give them jobs at all. Can Faith Care Everything? Aside from all other questions of what faith can do, take this one: Can faith cure everything? We know now (that is, doctors knew) that faith goes a long way in the healing process of any disease, and may be a major force in some cures. It has been reliably estimated that more than half the patients in American hospitals at any given time would be discharged at once, if their attitude were changed; in other words more people are hospitalized for basically psychological reasons than for physical reasons. The physical trouble is there, but it’s the mental slant that causes the physical spill. But can faith cure everything? Can faith ward off everything? If a smallpox epidemic were threatened, should a Christian refuse vaccination and rely only on his faith ? Most Christians would say No; all health departments would say No. And all Christians agree that some troubles are not curable by faith. You cannot pray a broken; tom-off arm back into existence. Destroyed brain cells never grow again, for saint or for sinner. The very church ’ that believes most in miracles is . the one most famous for its hos- , pitals. - Can Your Faith Help Me? s Another question: Can one man’s faith help another man ? In this story it was the father’s faith that helped his boy. Is this always the case ? Again we have to say sometimes yes, sometimes no. Jestis himself performed more than one cure, on the faith, not of the sick persons but. of their families br friends. Christians should of course, pray for their sick loved ones, pray for doctors and nurses And druggists too, without inquiring, “How /touch faith can this patient himself have?” Tfet there are limits to this. Saving faith, the faith that is a turning from darkness to light, 1 from evil to God, always has to be one’s own. r ~ What is Faith's Mhr \ The third question can be answered in very few words. What is the secret ot faith’s power? It is right in the story. The disciples were powerless, for their trust was in themselves. They had forgotten to pray. Jesus connects faith with prayer. Faith alone is nothing; it works, only if and because it lays hold on the power of the mighty. God. \ MT. TABOR METHODIST Geo. D. Christian, pastor Morning worship, 9 a.tn. , Sunday school, 10 a.tn.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 1, IPSO

Going To Church Rev. J, R. Meadows The average Sunday morning congregation is a pretty good indication of the people’s interest in the church. After all, our attitude towards divine services is also our attitude towards Christ and Sis influence in our community. Be indifferent to His church and you are indifferent towards Christ and His work; be faithful to His church ’ and you are helping Him. The church is God’s way of building Christ into the lives of all the peoCe. Church-going is not all there to being a Christian; but it is an important part of a Christian’s faith. We don’t go to church only to hear sermons, we go as an'act of worship to God: while we are there we hear the sermon as part of our worship. So when you go to church remember that you are doing it for your Saviour to worship Hftn. Be at your place of worship next Sunday.
