mental —not political—matters. “I have been urged and encouraged by Republicans. Democrats and independents in the 4th District and throughout the state to seek the nomination," Gates said. He is Whitley County and 4th District GOP chairman. He was the fifth Republican to announce for governor. Seven Democrats previously an nounced. The other Republicans are Secretary of State Charles O. Hendricks, Lt. Gov. Richard O. Ristine, State Treasurer Robert E. Hughes and former conservation director Doxie Moore. Gates, like his attorney father a former Indiana Department commander of the American Legion, in 1957-58, came out in support of a ‘‘consolidated and simplified’ tax program for Indiana. “1 would presenta"plan for a one-tax system, and would’ go directly to the people by referendum, if necessary, to establish such a system,’ he said. “This would determine which one of our many taxes they would prefer paying in order to meet and to maintain the required needs for the governmental operation of our state s programs. Gates also promised to hold daily meetings with legislative leaders during legislative sessions, and monthly meetings

“with the county and district chairmen to discuss governmental — not political — problems and issues.” "These monthly meetings would be open to the press and to the official representatives of both political parties,” he said. “This, then, would be mv ‘openGates policy,’ giving the governmental and pouucal representatives of the people direct access to the governor and. bv so doing, giving the governor iirst-nauu Wiui u.e proolems and issues facing the citizens, of Indiana.” Gates’ father, a former Republican state chairman, was governor between 1945 and 1949. The year the elder Gates left office, his son was graduated from Indiana University Law School and both returned to Columbia City as members of a family law firm. At the time the elder Gates was elected and inaugurated, Robert was serving as a*lieutenant- in the Navy during World War II with service in the Pacific theater.

THE 7 SPEAKS —Vs 1 htVMUMd Umleta \j Bwudsv School Utscaa Unforgiven Lesson for February 23,1964 Background Scripture: Luke 7:36-50. Devotional Reading: Ephesians 1:3-14. THREE PEOPLE met together that afternoon. There was a crowd in the room but all we know of the story is just what these three persons said and did. If artists had not painted it many times it would seem very strange

I to us. There the guests were at the long tables, only lying down, not sitting up straight as we do. No women were guests, but according to custom the outer doors were not I kept locked, and apparently any

Dr. Foreman

one could wander in. The guests were all barefooted; they had kicked off their sandals as a man here would remove his hat. Suddenly a woman, no respectable woman either, appeared behind the place where one of the guests reclined, and began to act in a way which even then seemed more than odd, wetting the guest’s feet with tears, wiping them dry with her long hair, pouring on his feet ointment from a beautiful white flask. The woman’s name we do not know,Tor Luke who tells the story was a gentleman; the host was named Simon and the guest was Jesus. The Mind es Why Simon had invited Jesus we do not know; perhaps from curiosity. He had not treated Jesus with even common courtesy, so we know Jesus was not the guest, of honor by any mfeans. Simon had an unpleasant mind. At that foment he was thinking sour thoughts about Jesus and the woman. For her he had no kind thoughts. AU he knew about her was her reputation, and that vas all he wanted to know. He thought all those tears etcetera were jtist an act. He was ready to believe the worst about her, not anything good-. For Jesus, Simon also had oily contempt is his mind. The - reason for this was that Jesus did not seem to despise the woman as Simon did. Either Jesus knew this woman for what she was, or he didn’t. If he did, then he was wicked for letting her touch him. "IT he didn’t, then he was a fool. —That was the way Simon’s mind operated: believe no good about any one. The mind es a woman The woman did not say a word from beginning to end. If asked what she was thinking, she might not have been able to make a sensible answer. But Simon could not see what Jesus saw, that this woman was passing through a crisis. Her tears spoke for her. Tears for the wasted years; tears for the sins she had done, for the life she had lived; tears perhaps because she could not turn the clock back and begin life where she had first left the right road—who knows how long ago? Tears for her weakness, for resolutions broken, for shame and for sorrow. She hated what she had been. But she had heard of Jesus. Just the word that he would be there, had brought her to seek him. The mind of Jesus Jesus knew what was in the mind of Simon, and what was in the mind of the woman. It is said that Jesus “answered” Simon, though Simon had not spoken a word, only “talking to himself.” And he knew what was iji the woman’s mind, he knew the tears were not acting, they were real; he knew why the woman cried; and though she had not opened her mouth he knew what she really wanted. Did she know, herself? We ' may believe she did. She wanted to be at peace with God. Happiness, yes, but above all, peace. She knew, if only in a dim confused kind of way, that she had cut herself off from women—for women despise such a woman more than men do; she had cut herself off from clean people, cut herself off from respectable society. But what she wanted was not respectability, it was peace. And so Jesus—who knew not only the mind of men and women, but the mind of God—said the healing word: Your sins are forgiven . . . - go in peace. Simon was a Pharisee, and pharisees led sheltered lives. His sins may have been far fewer than the woman’s. But Jesus could not say to Simon, Your sins are forgiven. Simon had no tears for his sins, no repentance. And God does not send his peace to those who do not want it.

THE WORSHIPPING CHURCH Rev. James R. Meadows It is easier to say “Go to Church” than it is to explain how the church-goer profits by so doing. Individual worship in the secret places of the heartjis indeed essential to all true religion: but experience shows that when individuals come together and become a worshipping communitv, new spiritual levels are reached, new values are created, new powers released. No function of conciousness remains precisely the same when others are present as when the individual is alone. Worshipping together adds new depth and meaning to the experience of God. It is a substitute for private devotion any more than opinons of one’s social group are a substitute for >ohe‘s consciousness or intelligence. But through worship, love is made more sacred, the feeling of unity with our fellow creatures becomes more vivid and binding, end, the fact that God is God bf PLEASANT MILLS BAPTIST CHURCH Joe Carter, Interim Pastor Lowell Noll, Superintendent Sunday School — 9:30 a.m. Worship — 10:30 a.m. Classes for all ages.
