Halt To Sabotage Os Trains Ordered ST. AUGUSTINE. Fla. (UPIK —The Federal Bureau of Investigation was under the direct orders of President Johnson today to halt the sabotage that has plagued the strikebound Florida East Coast (FEC) Railway. Johnson issued the order Thursday night at a Democratic fund raising dinner at Miami Beach just hours after the latest dynamiting derailed seven cars of a 195-car freight. The President was just 25 miles away at Palatka dedicating the start of construction of the cross-Florida barge canal when the second of Thursday’s two blasts took [Aace. The explosions derailed a total of 34 cars and completely blocked the main north -south tracks and a parallel spur line of the FEC. This left the railway with no way to move its freight trains—the only traffic on the line since the strike by 11 unions began Jan. 23, 1963. The FEC hoped to have freight trains moving again today over a one-track spur line while wreckage removal and ‘repairs continued on the main north-south line.

Devotional Beading: John 11:1-11. A PICTURE-MOTTO often seen, though it is many years old by now, starts this way: "CHRIST IS THE HEAD OF THIS HOUSE." It usually shows a picture of Christ, but such pictures are the work of imagination. What

is not imagination is the motto, — that is, When the household lives up to it With the help of the Gospels, let us see what it can mean to say truly, , Christ is the head of this house, your house.

Dr. Foreman

In the Gospels Luks and John we are given glimpses of a home where Jesus was really the head of the household, even though that expression itself is never used. It was the home of Mary, Martha and Lazarus. Stsing things his way That Jesus was the head of that household, that family group, does not mean that he interfered with their work or their arrangements. We all dislike meddlers, and Jesus was not a meddler. He would lean over backwards, so to. speak, to keep from being one. When they had him to dinner, you remember, Martha got quite tired and cross working hard over the dinner. Jesus (had he been inclined to take over running the house) might have ordered Martha to put out the kitchen fire and let them eat sandwiches for once. He might have demanded that she sit beside Mary and listen while he talked. But he let them each db it her way, he did not put in his oar till the right minute. And when he did, it was in the most tactful and affectionate way possible. He didn’t say Martha was wrong. What he said was that she was "anxious and troubled”—unhappy, in short He didn’t say Mary was better than Martha, he said simply that she had chosen the “good portion,” the “better part.” He was inviting Martha to look at things his way. Ten days, ten years, half a lifetime after that dinner, Mary would remember what Jesus had been saying, but who would remember what they had to eat? A glowing true thought often remembered is worth far more than the finest foods perfectly served. See it my way, Jesus said. His way of delng This was not the only occasion Jesus worked with some member es the family to see things as he saw them. But consider another point Jesus had his own way of doing things, and he was not being conceited when he urged others to do likewise. Take the incident John tells of this Mary’s pouring out upon Jesus an expensive box of perfume. What a waste! Some of the men said. But Jesus did not think it a waste. He himself was often known to do the same thing,— waste a great deal that was precious, out of sheer love. He told his disciples many things that they never remembered. He made many a plea for understanding and support that fell oa deaf ears. In firn* of death and torrew - It is particularly remakable how Jesus dealt with the great trial and tragedy in that horn®. Don’t most of us feel awkward, embarrassed and silent in the time when death and great grief come to those we love? Jesus certainly did not talk to Martha and Mary, after Lazarus died, as if death were not real. He did not try to distract their attention by trite remarks—we all have to die sometime, we must remember what a good man Lazarus was, and all that. What Jesus did was to say in effect: “Think of Me. I am the Life.” He brought comfort by bringing—himself. Now maybe we can see a little better what it means to say “Christ is the head of this house.” A home where he is welcomed, in spirit, every day; a heme where every one in it comes more and more, to see things his way and to do things as he would do them; the home vtfiere “Love thyself last” is the daily rule; and above all, the home where in time of crisis and grief, and even in the hour of death, Christ comes foremost in the mind, —this is the home where he is truly the head.

SHARE rOUR BLESSINGS Rev. James R. Meadows One of the plain teachings of Jesus is certainly this: If I have anything that is good I ought to share it; the better it is, the more 'am I bound to share it; and if the best thing that has ever entered into my personal experience is my knowledge of the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, then there is no obligation that rests upon me sc pressingly as the obligation to share this knowledge with those who do not have it. To this obligation geography sets no limits. If there is anyone anywhere, whom I can help to bring to the knowledge of God in Christ, He will not be satisfied with me and I will not be satisfied with myself if I fail to use to the utmost my opportunity. I can only fulfill this obligation by personal effort, by the giving of my means to make possible the efforts of others, and above all by learning the secret and following the practice of effectual prayer. And it is in sharing with others that I come most fully to know, MONROE METHODIST CHURCH Charles E.
