TAX SALE!
BUY JW...AND REDUCE
YOUR 1977 INCOME TAX
by taking advantage of Investment Tax
Credit and Depreciation Allowance.
Buying or leasing a new Ford tractor now, before the end
of 1977, can mean substantial cash benefits to you through
reduced tax liability, plus you'll have new equipment now
to increase productivity.
At the 10‘ i rate, the investment tax credit on a $20,000
tractor would be $2,000, a net reduction from your tax,
not merely a reduction of taxable income. Using the
'additional 20* >' first-year depreciation allowance option,
you can save even more.
To determine the tax effect of a 1977 purchase or lease
of a Ford tractor in your particular situation, consult
your tax advisor. We can give you details on eligible
implements, financing and trade-in allowance.

If everyone washed
clothes in warm or cold
water, national fuel savings
would amount to the
equivalent of about 100,000
barrels of oil a day. That is
2per cent of the total
demand for residential
heating (enough to heat 1.6
million homes in winter).

UNDERSTANDING MATTHEWS GOSPEL
Scripture: Matthew 1:1-17; 4:23-25; 9:9-13
By Mrs. Jesse Waller
One of the greatest delights I had, as a child, was the
visit in our home of some relative. Since the times of getting
together were few and far apart, our conversation would
naturally drift to other relatives end members of their fam
ilies. Always, I marveled that my mother could remember all
the names, and put the cousins and uncles and aunts in their
proper places ill age.
It was my priviledge, one summer, at a camp meeting to
witness a most unusual sermon. For forty-five minutes
we sat enr apt, listening to the recitation of the genealogy
of Jesud. At the beginning, I was intrigued tv this man’s
remarkable memory. As he started with Abraham, and difhi’t
falter until the list was complete, there was an awesome
quietness. When it dawned upon me what he was doing, the
procedure became captivating and powerful. Jesus’ birth
was the ultimate. The closing statement of his sermon was
a simple, but everlasting troth, “Jesus was bom of Mary,
in Bethlehem of Judea.” People had lived and waited in
daritness so long, and now their Light had come, in the
.person of Jesus.
The gospel of Matthew brings this good news, with a
sprinkling of the generations proceeding His birth.
The writing of the first gospel in our New Testament
is attributed to Matthew, sometimes referred to as Levi.
Mark 2:14. It is believed that Mark's gospel was the first
one written, as the other gospels refer to some of its
parts. There are mans parallels in the first three gospel*.
John's gospel emphagzes Jesus’ relationship with God, in
a different way.
Matthew’s call gives us, all over again, the mercy of God
If Jesus chose a tax collector, who was looked down on,
because of his work, it ahotfid encourage anyone who feels
he is beyond help, or not worthy. Jesus told the fishermen
whom he called, that He would make them fishers of men,
but he made no such promise to Matthew. Jesus called His
disciples to be followers and helpers, and companions.
Matthew left las lucrative job and obeyed immediately, and
remained with Jesus. It was then that Jesus was accused
of eating with sinners.
The only due we have k> the kind of person Matthew was,
is found in Ms spontaneous act of serving as a connecting
link between Jesus mid Ms friends. He had a feast and in
/ vited all of Ms friends in to meet Jesus. What better way to
introduce them to the Savior. TMs is something tint aroat
, ' Christians could do tody. If the Savior’s pressmen wan
felt at our feats ad social gatherings, how transformed
would be foe dmoaphsiel.
TMs goapel also coat sins foe unmatched Sermon on the.
Mount, and many parables and teachings m the lifeof oar
Lord, including the groat comaussion, just before Hie uscen
sioa.
Prayer Dear Lord, in our daily actions, and through them,
amy Christ increase, news decrease Amen.
