u ...I ..... — to “the bishops’ relief fund" which supports the operations of Catholic Relief Services. Main Aid Channel The third major religious relief agency—The United Jewish Appeal—began its annual drive for funds some time ago; but will still be accepting contributions this week end. - ——- Performing a traditional church function on a global scale, the religious relief agencies have become the main channel for “person to person” American aid to the hungry and homelesp pf other lands. • " i This year they are distributing [about 1,500,000,000 pounds of food . more than 25 million pounds of clothing. . .thousands of shipments of vaccines, vitamins and other medical supplies. They are providing toys, books, and other supplies for countless orphanages. . .teachers and trainrefugees. They are operating orphanages. . .teachers and training materials for vocational [schools. . .resettlement help for |refugees. They are opera ting health clinics, digging wells, and conducting demonstrations in modern farming and canning methods; Has Won Goodwill Because it is conducted with no motive other than compassion for fellow human beings in need, this vast private aid program has won goodwill for America in many lands where government - sponsored aid projects are viewed with suspicion. President Eisenhower recently described the work of the religious relief agencies as “an incalculable force for good ” The most impressive aspect of the religious relief program isf that so> much is accomplished with so little. The funds available for overseas relief, through all | three major faiths, total about 35 j million dollars a year. But the services rendered by these, agencies would cost at least 350 million dollars if they were valued on a straight commercial basis. Presbyterian Men's Counci I Will Meet . The Presbyterian men’s council will meet Monday night at 7 o’clock at the Presbyterian church to discuss important business and hear Robert Chappuis, former allAmerican football player at Michigan university and presently public relations ihanager at’the Central Soya Fort Wayne office, speak.

Over 2,500 Daily Democrats art sold and delivered in Decatur each day.

Thy Will B* Dom ♦ ' Lesson for March 8,, 1959 A STRANGER to' Christian religion would be'iitrUck by two things. One is that the church cherishes much that' she does not understand; and the other is that the church loves to remember what the stranger would think we should wish to forget.

Dr. Foreman

The story of Gethsemane is one that every Christian knows. The first three gospels all tell it in some detail. Every communion service begins with the words, “The Lord Jesus, the same

night in which he was betrayed..." The Gethsemane story is one of anguish of mind and soul, a story of Jesus offering ah unanswered prayer—“let thia cup pass.” There Js no doubt about Jesus’ distress in Gethsemane. Matthew, Mark and Luke all testify to it. Mark says that Jesus “began to be greatly distressed and troubled.” The word Mark uses which is translated, “greatly distressed” in Mark 14:33 is the tame word ha uses in 9:15 to describe the crowd’s astonishment when they saw him after the Transfiguration It is the same word also ih 16:5 and 6, speaking of the amazement of the women at the tomb when they saw the white-robed angel. It is the esnphatic form of a word used in Acts 9:8 (King James version) to describe Saul’s emotions whan stricken to the ground on the Damascus Road. It is a word meaning more than surprise; it is shock. The whole story of Gethsemane holds right up to this word that begins it. Jesus prays in such intensity that sweat poured from his forehead like so much blood. He describes his own feelings as "very sorrowful, even to death.” The church does not. remember Jesus as a man always serene. One of the early Christian writers speaks of Christ as offering np “prayers and supplications with loud cries and tears.” (Heb. 5:7.) “Hot Wh«t I Will-" There is a darker shadow than this.. You would think, if you were a stranger to the Christian faith, that if ever there had been a time when Jesus felt his own will and his Father’s will were not the same, the church would prefer to forget that fact. Would it not be better, more edifying, more comforting —would it not make Chrilst a nobler figure, if we could think of him as at every point and fa every moment desiring only what his heavenly Father desired, never anything different ? No—if the church had been inventing the story, they would probably have invented it just that way. But the church was dealing with facts, not fancies. And in thia story of Gethsemane we are further mystified by hearing Jesus say, “Not what I win, but what Thou wilt.” Any one who thinks he knowsexactly what Jesus meant by that, is guessing. What is plain, if we honestly and humbly listen, is that there was enough difference between what Jesus desired, or would prefer, and what hi* Father in heaven preferred, so that he could nay, Not this—but that! Oar Lard aad Oarwhea Yet immediately, in the same breath, Jesus cries out “what thou wilt.” Jesus was not st that moment giving a lesson in prayer. Nevertheless that is the most profound lesson in prayer which we can learn. We all know by heart the prayer which Jesus taught us, and we rattle it off easily enough. But every phase of it is hard to say honestly, and none harder than this: “Thy win be done.” That is just fine when we think God wants what we want, and is sitting up there in the sky like a heavenly Fixer, arranging for all our sweet dreams to come trus. That is fine too even when we can see God is not going to let our dreams come true, provided we can see that God has a better plaa and we know what , the plan is. But what about it, if we become sure that God is against our own plans, that God is riot “fixing things" for us, and yet we satnnot Me why? What about it if 6hr knowing what God’s will is, brings u* also to eries and tears, to amazement and distress ? Well . . . then we can find light in dark Gethsemane.
