Devotional Thoughts
Mark 5:34. And he said unto
her, Daughter, thy faith hath made
thee whole; go in peace, and be
whole of thy plague. This woman
already had that spiritual instinct
that feels its way to Jesus. Some
thing in the very depth of her
being had told her that He had
the very help she needed, and if
she could but touch Him, her
Faith and need would draw out
and claim it for her healing. The
border of the Rabbi’s robe was
called the phylactery. It was a
fringe chiefly made up of quota
tions from the Word of God. It
would seem that God was intimat
ing to us that the way to touch
Him is through His Word. We can
not see His face; but we can touch
Him by faith and claim His pro
mises, and know that the Promiser
is true. It should be added that this
W()man’s healing was a prelude to
even a much greater blessing.
When she came with trembling lips
and fell at His feet and told Him
all, almost asking forgiveness for
her boldness. It was, with the re
assuring words of the double bles
sing, “Daughter, thy faith hath
made thee whole, go in peace, and
he whole of thy plague.” There is
another place where we read of
the man who was sick of the palsy.
Jesus said, Son, thy sins be for
given thee. When we touch Christ
by faith it brings us into the fam
ily of God. The touch of a king
might make us a royal knight, but
the touch of Jesus makes us Sons
and Daughters of God. To as many
as received Him to them gave He
power to become the Sons of God.

Income Tax Hints
(Continued from Page One)
wife (assuming she had no in
come) instead of an individual
return for himself.
You have one $600 exemption
for yourself. In addition, you nor
mally have a $600 exemption for
anyone closely related to you by
blood or marriage if you contri
buted more than fifty per cent of
his upkeep and his taxable income
is less than $500 for the year.
A child born any time during
the year—^even at 11:59 p, m. on
December 31^—entitles you to a
full year’s exemption. The same
is true for an infant who dies
after birth.
If you are sixty-five or ovei'r
you get and extra exemption when
you file a joint return.
Many people do not know about
the variety of deductible medical
expenses. Typical ones include:
health and hospitalization insur
ance premiums, hospital, nurse-
dentist and doctor bills not offset
by insurance, cost of drugs, eye
glasses, dentures, crutches, wheel
chairs, and other medical equip
ment.
If you own your home, the
interest on your mortgage is de
ductable. So are real estate and
property taxes and assessments,
casualty losses, and interest on
home repair loans. Interest on all
loans you have is a deductible
item.
