-THE CAROLINA TIMES Sat., Dec. 30, 1972 4A Church THE TEN COMMANDMENTS By DONALD LOVE Joseph was sold by his bro thers and he finally edned up in Egypt as an overseer in the King's home. The reiation- ship between Joseph and the King was unbelieveable. This king died and his suc cessor did not even know Jo aeph and if he did. this tie did not exist. Joseph was permitted by his King friend to bring his fam ily from Canaan and to live in a certain area in Egypt. The new king observed or was told how prosperous this family was and how they grew in population. He then had them enslaved. They contin ued to prosper and grow in size, however, until they were a nation within a nation. They had no social life what soever. They were not permit ted to mingle under any cir cumstances witn the Egyptians. All of the hard manual duties were their responsibility hnder hard task masters. This family was able to ob serve how un-godty the Egyp tians lived, how they worship ped all makes and kinds of i dols, and how they treated each other. They taw how people conducted themselves •• men with other mens' wives and women with other womens' husbands. They stole and killed each other. They were not able to par take of the social events. In the event that jmy person would venture into the social lives of the Egyptians, punish ments of all descriptions were used to discourage others. This went on for hundreds of years and this family had f close-up view of the wrong exercised at its best. God raised-up Moses, who was a member of this family, to be brought up in the king's home as a member or adopted child to the king's daughter, the princess. Moses was educated and teamed all the laws and rules of the Egyptians. Finally, he was forced to leave Egypt as a fugitive. God prepared Moses one day at the burning bush to re turn to Egypt, to speak to the king and other officials and to release his family. Long before now, this family had a national name • Israelites. This name was given them because of their father, Jacob, who had his name changed when he wrestled with the angel. With God as the general, otic J - ' .. T>. ,-r«u9 -—- —~z t r ; ' • T.

Ul*, This column of questions and answers on federal lax matters is provided by the local office of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and is published as a public service to taxpayers. The column answers questions most frequently asked by taxpayers. Q) My son earned nearly $2,000 last year. Does he have to file a Federal income tax return? AI If your son is single, you are not claiming him as a dependent and he did not have self-employment earn ings of S4OO or more, he does not have to file a return be cause his gross income is less than $2050. However, if you or someone else could claim your son as a dependent and he had income from dividends, interest or other types of un earned income, he must file a return if his gross income was at least $750. He must also fiie a return if he had net self-employment earnings of S4OO or more. Of course, he should file a return to claim any refund dur him for income tax with held. Q) I have all my tax rec ord*. Cam I tie without My Pons W~t? A) No. A withholding state ment, Form W-2, for each job held during 1972 must be at tached to your return. Failure to do so delayed the refunds of many taxpayers last year. Q) I plan to go to a cm ■mtrial tax preparer to have my 1972 return AIM out. Is he responsible for amy errors on th is family or the Israelites were able to be freed from the mighty iron hand of the Egyptian goven ment. across the Red Sea is where they stopped, and established their camp ground. They were free for the first time as a na tion. For forty years, they lived and rested and were able to en joy a sociable life as a nation of people. They had worked so long in Egypt and so hard that they had nothing to do. God fed them daily from heaven, and their clothes and shoes Lasted through this forty year period. No wells were needed to dig for water. MOses used his staff or rod to strike rocks to give them their water sup ply. God called Moses and nad Moses meet Him on tne moun tain. He gave Moses docu ments written qp slate. Tnese documanta were God's Com mandments for the Israelites and they were called the Ten Commandments. The Israelites, wnile in Egypt had ring-side seats seeing how the Egyptians lived. These Commandments coming direct ly from Godi lndirectly tnrough Moses to the Israelites, were for them to live there-b/. They were to center their living on God and Him alone. They knew they were there for the first time as a nation be cause of God's will. The first Commandment was loud and clear, "Thou shalt not have any gods before God," It vi vidly stated, so not seek an/ gods from heaven, eartii or tne seas, just God. Tne otner part of the Commandments dealt with how they should live to gether and how they should treat each other. They saw how the Egyptians took ad vantage of each other, and they were to refrain from this kind of conduct. Do not steal from each other; do not kill eacn o ther. Living by these Com mandments would be pleasing to God. To live by part and not all you might as well not live by any. The Constitution iof the United States was drawn up around the Ten Commandments. If we only lived by the Consti tution, the portion that is suit able for us and disregard the other, then it is useless to live I by any part. | God requires us to do all or not at all. the return? A) No. Each taxpayer is responsible for the accuracy of his Federal income tax re turn, no matter who fills it out If you do use the services of a tax preparer this year, be sure he signs your return and enters on the form his social security number or employer identification number. Q) Is it true that this year taxpayers can designate $1 of their tax to go to a presiden tial election campaign fund? A) Yes. This year, taxpay ers, at their option, may des ignate $1 of their taxes ($2 if a joint return) to go to the political party of their choice or to a nonpartisan general fund. The "check-off" is made on a separate form —IRS Form 4875—which is included in your tax forms package, and not on the Form 1040 itself. If you want to designate a dollar for the fund, complete the Form 4875 and attach it to your Form 1040. If you do not wish to earmark money for this purpose, do not file I Form 4875. Q) Will the IRS still figure out a person's tax, if he wants them to? A) Yes. The Internal Rev Ushers Union Xmas Dinner Held Sunday The 1972 Christmas dinner of the Advisory Committee of the Durham Usher Union open ed at the Ranch HOuse, Chapel Hill, Sunday, December 17 at 4:30 p.m. The Chairman, Mr. W.M. Gandy, and members met at the Roger-Herr Jr. High School with the motor cade being led by Mrs. Mary Vanhook and Thomas Strudwick and wife, Elsa Strudwick. Against a background of gold and red, the Christmas party unfolded with the presi dent of the Durham Ushers Union, Clyde Moore Jr., saying grace. We, the members of the Advisory Board, are so grate ful that the Lord has spared us to have a Christmas dinner with our many friends. As we look around the Ranch House and observed the old cookstone our mothers used we again whispered a prayer of thanks. What a wonderful provision God has made. Old things can pass away and new things can be taken on. As we enter the new year of untrodden path, we can be as sured of His guiding hand. Like the children of Isreal, we are entering upo a new way. There will be temptations to meet, new sorrows to bear, new op portunities to grasp, new tasks to perform, new blessings to enjoy. Christ will always be standing by to guide us in the untrodden path if we but lean • on him. Let us pray. Almighty God,our Father, who has promised that where two or three are gathered in[ thy name, that thou would be in our midst. We thank thee for being with us today and for all the blessings of life, especial ly for allowing us to witness this day -- (14)" day's and a">ear yet before us, unscarred with sin, yet one which holds temp tation in our untrodden paths. We pray that thou hands will continue to guide our paths so that when we can no longer re main among those with whom we love, we may go home to re ceive the reward promised. Ship Hit SAIGON The U.S. Command reported Wednesday that at least one 7th Fleet ship was hit by enemy fire off the coast of North Vietnam but re fused to give cny details. A spokesman indicated there were some American casualties but would not elaborate. enue Service will figure out your tax if your adjusted gross income is $20,000 or less and was only from wages, sal ary and tips, dividends, inter est, pensions and annuities, and if you claim the standard deduction. For more details, see your tax form instruc tions. Q) What do you mean by "adjusted gross income"? A) This is the total income that appears on line 17 of your Form 1040. Adjusted gross income is arrived at by subtracting business expenses and certain employee ex penses, such as sick pay, mov ing expenses, etc. from your gross income. For most tax payers, however, adjusted gross income is equivalent to their total income. This year, your Form 1040 instructions contain a glos sary of frequently used tax terms to make it easier for you to fill out your return. Q) Are medical insurance premiums deductible in full? A) If you itemize deduc tions, you may deduct in full one-half of the amount you paid for medical insurance, up to $l5O. The balance of your premiums is added to your other medical expenses. Only your medical expenses in excess of three percent of your adjusted gross income are deductible. For more information, write your Internal Revenue district office and ask for a free copy of IRS Publication 602, "De duction for Medical and Den tal Expenses." I t B W I W M| V B B # Jjj^.
