Lutheran Church Andrew*, North Carolina Matthew $:2h: "Take heart, my son; your sins are forgiven." The miracle of the healing of the paralized man is very suggestive to our own days. The crowds today, just as they did nearly 2000 years ago, gather where etver there is hope for health and help, yet in meeting this desire for our worries, burdens and infirmities to be lifted our Savior wauld soy to us the same words he spoke to the man in this miracle, "Son your sins are forgiven." With this miracle our Savior al so teaches the great lesson that all the sufferings, burdens, sicknesses and everything evil that comes up on us is the result of sin. I know that your reaction will be, "What have I done, what have I sinned that this or that infirmity makes me suffer?" The meaning of this lies much deeper. Not always we suffer for our own transgressions only. There is such a thing as the social sin. We as the whole community can suffer because of the transgressions of one of the members of the com munity. This is the proof that we are related to God not only as in dividuals, but also as a group. Then there are also sins that are committed by us in a manner of omission. This means that we have failed to do something that we should have done. Take for in stance, I would catch a pneumonia; and believe or not, it is a result of my sin; my failure to dress warm enough, to receive enough nourish ment for my body. Thus our negli gence becomes a sin. You can say, "What can we da about cancer?" ? We do not know the cause of this dreadful disease. How can it be a result of sin?? There is only one answer to this. If we would be free from all sin, then we would have the knowledge to combat this disease. The result cf our sin is not only the physical come upon us, but it is also mani fested in the limitations of our men tal ability. When God created nan, He created him in His own image. That means, perfect phy sically as well as mentally and ipiritually. But because of our sin ? the sin of the human race ? we have lost this perfection in all re spects of life. This is what St. Paul meant when he said that "We all have fallen short from the glory of God." This we can sum up by saying that everything evil that comes up on us is the result of sin; sin per taining to us directly or indirectly tin that was committed at the be ginning of the human race in the Garden of Eden, sin that is com mitted in thought, word and deed. Sin is around us in so many dif ferent forms that it is very hard to lescribe it. Throught heredity the tins of our ancestors cling to each - new generation. Deep in our natur es there are passions that exist with sinful tendences and sometim es erupt with a volcanic force that is beyond our human ability to con trol it. In Winter Niagra Falls are dress ed in its most beautiful winter gar ments. The rapids above the falls sparkle in the afternoon sun. And the birds come down to snatch a drink from the clear water. But it happens very often that birds are carried with the water over the falls to their destructioii. How does it happens? ? when the birds dip for another drink and more ice is forms on their wings. Then they dip eior two and they can not rise any more; and over the falls they go. Sin is as deceptive as the spark ling water of Niagra winter rap ids. Dip into it once too often and we are not able any more to lift ourselves from its grasps unless something is done to correct the situation. But we are not able by ourselves to handle our 'sin. Since all sin is sin against God, we need His forgiveness. And we through faith can bring God's help into our lives. Yet how are we going to ex press our faith in God's purpose to relp us? ? The answer is ? through confession. In the confession of sin we come to a conception of God as a Father, not angry with us, but eager for our reconciliation and redemption. And what the Gospel seeks to show and what we should get into our heads and hearts is that sin is a violation of love and not merely of law. When a child in the home hurts his brother, he hurts also his fath er; because the father suffers not only with the child that is hurt, but also for the child that does the hurting. The father looks with lov , ing compassion on both of them. . He longs for their reconciliation. He is eager and ready to forgive the wrong doer, but he cannot until the simmer confesses and repents, or inother words, expresses his de sire to be forgiven So it is with our Heavenly Fath er. He loves all His family, wheth er they live in America, India, Russia, whether they are white, black, red or not. His heart aches ..ver the divisions aid inj.stices among His children. He suffers with those who are wronged and for those who do the sinning. The Cross is the revelation that our Heavenly Father was hurt doubly Thus when we confess our sins we are telling our Heavenly Father that we have been in wrong and that we want His help to get back in right relationship with our neighbor. May our Heavenly Father grant us the strength and the courage to look at the causes of all our suf ferings with clear understanding that we may see the road to our Father's house as the road of re pentence, confession and forgive ness. 1 Backward Glance It TEAKS AGO Ttan day, April J, 1*7 Mr. Jtnd Mrs. E.

Tomatoes, eggplant, and pepper plants should be hardened before transplanting to the field. This can be done by i woth holding the water supply; that ) is, by keeping them on the dry side for a few days. You may W Interested in trying some of the more recently Intro duced snap bean varieties. Wade, Contender, and Seminole are varie ties which are almost immune to bean mosaic, which sometimes re duces the yield of such varieties as Tendergreen. Improved String less Blue Lake is an excellent pole bean and especially good for can ning and freezing. The old stand by, Kentucky Wonder, is still good. The production of sweet corn in the home garden is increasing each year because of its popular ity for fresh use, freezing and canning. There are a few garden ers who still like to plant early var ieties of field corn for roasting ears because the ears are large and perhaps the corn ear worm injury is a little less ou these varieties. However, once you have given real sweet corn a fair trial, you will not be satisfied again with field corn. There is no comparison in edible quality. Recommended varieties for both fresh use and for process ing are Seneca Chief, Golden Cross Bantam, and Ioana. These are all yellow varieties and are widely a dapted. A good deal of emphasis is still being placed en ice box sise water melons. The New Hampshire Mid get Variety has become quite pop ular in the home garden. Hills can be spaced as close as five feet and the melon does not grow much iarg er than a cantaloupe. This variety becomes ovei* ripe very quickly, and this should be remembered perhaps the best variety of the ice box type is the Japanese or Hybrid Seedless. It will average from 8 to 12 lbs. in weight and is of excellent quality. The seeds are undeveloped to the extent that they are not ob jectionable when eating the melon. You will tlnd seed of this variety a little more expensive than some of the others. f L??np yoiji; KEYS S DIAL VErnon 7-2490 CITY LOCK SERVICE Key* by Code er Duplication OomMnattona (liufed .. ..
