The Coldest Month
January, usually the cold
est month of the year, is the
month with more darkness
than any except the last,
(December. Yet with the
new' year the days are be
ginning to .get longer and
the increased sunshine prom
ises warmer weather of
spring and summer to come.
For both warm weather
and cold weather holidays
January is a good month,
though February and early
March (with their longer
days) are considered peak
holiday months.
Though . heating bills arc
stiff in the colder climates
in'January, it's a good month
for indoor entertaining and
reading. It is also the month
in which new Congresses
open, and Presidents are in
augurated when the poli
tical gas attacks begin, in
other words. ,.' ;
The night sky is always
exciting in January and the
colder weather often pro
vides clear visibility at night
-especially when high pres
sure, systems' from Canada
. move in. ..- In cold weather
one naturally eats more and
this has ' its .appeal to too
many if us.
January is also happy in
come; tax payment month
for the fiial installment: on
1QC6 tnontme taxes, which, re
minds us bf the high cost of
government' and defense., in
this post-war era.1' i . t-

BY WHAT AUTHORITY?
Take ypur Bible and turn
with me to St. Matthew
21.23-32.
As Jesus was teaching in
the temple one day, the eld
ers asked Jesus, "By what
authority do . you , da these
things?" By what authority
did John baptize, Jesus
asked Ihtro, . They couldn't
agree that it was God's
since they didn't believe in
John. They couldn't say by
man i since the people held
John to be a prophet. ''We
can't tell," they said.' "Neith
er can I,'' said Jesus. Jesus
told them of a man who or
dered; his two sons to work
in a vineyard. The first
refused but : later repented
and went The second said
he would and didn't.
Which one ;did the ; fathj
er wshes(? -Tha coders had
to answer, "The first." ''Just
so,".., Jesus said, "the" tax
gatherers and sinful women
will go into the Kingdom of
God before you; for they do
repent and afterwards be
lieve." This (message sure hit
home for a lot of us. We
use God's word but we don't
back it up. Are we like the
elders or are we like the
second son who said he
would but didn't?
The Bible says: "Whether
of them twain did the will
,of ,his - father? - They say
unto hum, the first. Jesus
saith . unto v them, , verily, I
say. unto you, that the pub
licans and the harlots go into
the Kingdom of God before
you." St. Matthew 21:31, ;

In the lesson we are study
ing today we learn of the
healing of the palsied nwn
before the multitude who
had come to hear Jesus teach
in the synagogue. ' 4 ,.
While most of those pres
ent had come to worship, to
listen.; and to learn, there
were some who ' had came
hoping to ' catch Jesus in
some violation of the strict
Jewish lays.':. Of this Jesus
was fully aware hence the
public healing of the palsied
man, following Jesus" for
giveness of the man's sins. '
For while Jesus was bas
ically concerned with man's
spiritual state ; He ateo
knew that great controversy
raged around His claim of
Messiahship. : :
It is not : too: surprising,
therefore,- that being great
ly impressed by the faith: of
the sick man's friends (dem
onstrated by the lengths
they went to to get ; their
companion into Jesus' pres
ence against great odds)
Jesus demonstrated the Di
vine power invested , in Him
by healing the ' man : of his
physical affliction. He .knew
that the scoffers .would : say
that it was - easy for , just
anyone to say: ;"Your sins
are forgiven"; what ..' was
needed to convince t h, e
doubters was , a concrete
demonstration of His Divine
Sonship..
Ttr Jesus never for a
minute lost sight of the .fact
that His mission was to bring
sight to (he, spiritually blind,
t& enrich s the poor of spirit, I
to heal broken lives, to de
liver from . the captivity of
sin. The parables tie taught,
the help that He gave to the
materially poor, the restora
tion of physical sight to the
blind all of these practical
demonstrations; had but one
end the, teaching and ac
ceptance or uoa s wory. :
In assuming His ministry
on earth, Jesus' was .. fulfill
ing the promise of centuries.
All during His Ministry He
was careful to proclaim the
fact that He was only the
instrument of . God. What
great deeds that were
wrought through Him were
evidences of Gods eating.
The Holy Spirit was at work
in Christ's life; it must ne
cessarily be at work in out
lives if we dare to approxi
mate Christianity in its basic
concepts.
It was fitting that Jesus
should make a public an
nouncement, of His call to
the people of His birthplace,
and it is equally fitting, to
day, that we should reflect
that every Christian's minis
try t begins where he lives
and has his being. For it is.
not only charity that "begins
at . : home"; V Christian con
cepts and - God 1 y ' living
should ' emanate from ' the
surroundings in which we
first become aware of the
ultimate goal of our lives. ;
Concern for their friend
was the motivation for the
lengths to : which the sick
man's friends - went to to
bring him before Jesus, and
in this regard we-would do
well to remember that the
church has been referred to
as "the company of the con
cerned." ' We are not good
members of that church if
we allow our concern to
center solely around person
al concerns and interests.
We need to be exquisitely
aware that man's condition
will not undergo an essen
tial change until man, him
self, has changed. And it
was this change that moti
vated the advent of Jesus
and His ministry on earth.
The men who brought
their afflicted friend to Jesus
were blessed with convic
tion conviction that Jesus
could help him be whole
again; they had FAITH!
The man who had received
neanng at in nana oiiou
Lord also ha4 faith, and lit
walked away a living testi
mony of God's concern for
His children. Concern and
conviction . these' are the
basics of Christianity!;

AN EYE ON THE WORLD
The fascination of a globe . let the eye
roam over the world map . ... notice the
different countries and continents . . i try to
imagine what life must he like in each of
these places. '
." Yes, every spot on the globe has its par
ticular need. Sometimes it is a need felt in
that one place alone. Yet, in a sense, every
place is the same, for all countries are made
up of people. And all people have the same
basic needs. , ;. ... "
' . One of these needs is faith faith in a
God who also has an eye on our world
' faith in a God who sustains us, and who gives
meaning to time and eternity. Your own life
has this need. You can answer thatlieed by
attending church, and discovering the strength
and joy which come through regular worship.
