Over 22 million married women 47.1 per cent of than have jobs outside their homes compared to 43.6 per cent 10 years ago, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Nine out of 10 jobs are covered by Social Security. Working women build Social Security disability, survivors, retirement, and Medicare protection for themselves and their families. More married women work now than in 1967 because families are smaller and there are more jobs for women and more day-care facilities for children. Monthly Social Security benefits can be paid to a wife on her work record even if her husband keeps working. And, if a woman has worked long enough in jobs covered by Social Security and then retires, becomes disabled, or dies, her children can be paid benefits on her record until they are 18—or until 22 if they are full-time students in school and remain un married. Full Social Security retirement benefits can start when the worker is 65, reduced benefits at 62. Disability benefits can be paid to workers under 65 and their families when the worker is disabled and not expected to be able to do any substantial work for a year or more. People retiring in 1977 generally can get Social Security retirement payments with as little as 6% years of work covered by Social Security.

Workers disabled before 31 may be eligible for payments with less work covered by Social Security, depending on age. Medicare starts for most people at 65. But disabled people under 65 can get Medicare if they have been entitled to Social Security disability benefits for at least 24 consecutive months.

Men were afraid, but the bravest enlisted and sailed off to the wonders of a new world. Most of us are afraid of the unknown. We have our qualms and doubts about a new job, moving to a strange city, beginning a marriage, or simply facing the uncertainties of tomorrow. We do not know what lies ahead, and we worry about being able to cope with it. In this eoer-changing world, we instinctively yearn for that which does not change. Whatever tomorrow brings, we can have the peaceful conviction that the lax of God for His children is trustworthy and everlasting. Discover an abiding security. Worship this Sunday. < 1...,,. <*•*«*.

STRUGGLING WITH DOUBT International Sunday School Lesson Scripture: Genesis 17:1-8, 15-19 By Mrs. Jesse Waller All of ue, no doubt, know personally someone who is a skeptic. He prides hinself on his skepticism. Some think it is a mark of intelligence to question or doubt the reality of God. Not so with those who have obeyed and stepped out sometimes in the pitch darkness, on faith alone. Just obeying, but not being able to see clearly the way ahead. Twenty-four years have gone by since God called Abram. These were exciting years for the traveling patriarch. God continued his tremendous promises about this new nation. The real test of Abram's faith came when he was almost one hunched yews of age, and Sarah was ninety. When God prom ised them a son, Abram just laughed. This is such a natural, hummi reaction. We sometimes forget the almigfatineea of God. We must constantly have fresh traisftiaions of confi dence and faith. Whan we realize, as Christian people, we me sometimes prone to doubt, it makes us ■ crept*cent with those who con stantly straggle with doubt mid fear. GotTa promise to Abram is found inGenesis 18:3-8,‘1 will multiply you exceedingly.” In these verses the Lard spells out certain major aspects of the covenant that involved Ahrma’s decendents, the promised laid of Canaan, and the relriianahip between Abram and his people. What was Abram’a response? He fell on his foce, thus confessing his weakness and sinfrilassa and complete unwerthineaa. This staid of humil iation was the hallmark at Abram's walk with God. Ia our tine confession of God’s wisdom mid power, we will find a one for doubting- To aianfr the nature at His promise to Atoms, God gave him aaaw same, Abraham. Abram meant “exalted fairer." Abraham means "father of a multitude.” The scope of God’s proatiaa to Atoms seamed ironic since there was no heir in sight. Many times we want to see, before believing, but with God, all things are possible, in fulfilling His pirpoaea.
