Will thou b* mad* whole?" '
(John S:S).
. In Jerusalem was a pool nam-j
ed Eethesda, which was believed |
to possess miraculous curative!
powers. It attracted a great!
multitude of impotent folk,
blind, lame, withered, including
one ihfirm man to whom our
Lord addressed - the question,
‘‘Wilt thou be made whole?”
A Itrange question to ask!
This tnan had been infirm for|
thirty-eight years. Perhaps be
cause of some youthful sin (John|
fclf) he had been dependent
ppbn others tor his every need
*nd want. Surely this man de
sired to be made whole. His
Very presence at the pool indi
cated that!
but Jesus never forces Him
self On anyone. Nor does it
follow that where there is an
infirmity there is a desire for
health. Perhaps the impotent
man, like many in our modern
American Welfare State, pre
ferred secure inactivity to the
responsibilities and demands of
health.. Perhaps he preferred to
remain infirm, and be waited on
hand and foot. Jesus never
heals, and Jesus never saves,
unless there is a genuine will
ingness to meet the obligations
imposed upon by physical and
spiritual health.
But notice, the only thing the
man had to do was to be will
ing. The question was not, ‘'Do
you deserve to be made whole?”
but “Wilt thou be made whole?”
“Whosover will may come,” and
personal willingness is the only
prerequisite to coming.
further, the question asked is
a personal one: “Wilt THOU
be m#de whole?” The question
of your eternal destiny is a
question you yourself must an
swer. ;' You are a free moral
agent, and you may accept cr
reject Jesus Christ by your own
free will. But the question
comes to you, and only you can
Answer it. “Wilt THOU be
made whole?”
And then, the man was pass
ive in the matter; “Wilt thou
Bb MADE whole?” Het did not
make himself whole, he was
made whole.- What we receive
from God comes as a free gift,
not a reward. We are made
whole, not because of our good
ness or worthiness, but because
of His mercy and grace and love.
Jesus plid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
V What must you, as a lost sin

ner, do to be made whole? You
must realise your need, for none
would seek a physician who did
not realize he was sick. You
must realize your inability to 1
meet your need. You cannot
lift yourself up by your own
bootstraps; you cannot save
yourself. Then, resting upon the
sacrifice, the ability, and the
promise of Jesus to receive all
who come to Him in faith be
lieving, you must come for par
don and cleansing.,
And finally, like the infirm
man in the story, you must arise
and Walk (John 1:8). That is,
there must be a change in your
life. You must be different be
cause you have had a personal
encounter with God. I don’t!
think that lame man would have (
ever been healed if he had not.
obeyed the command of Jesus'
to arise and walk. Neither do
1 feel they are really saved
who make an empty profession,)
but refuse to leave behind the
filthy rags of this world’s sick
ness.
Wilt thou be made whole?
Jesus, the Great Physician,
stands ready to save you. Come
to Him and give Him a chance.

SIXTT-ONEDERFUL CHEVROLET
Here’s the car that reads you loud and
clear —the new-size, you- size ’6l Chev
rolet. We started out by trimming the
outside size a bit (to give you extra inches
of clearance for parking and maneuvering)
but inside we left you a full measure of
Chevy comfort. Door openings are as
much as 6 inches wider to give feet, knees,
and elbows the undisputed right of way.
And the new easy-chair seats are as much
as 14% higher —just right for seeing, just
right for sitting.
Once you’ve settled inside you’ll have
high and wide praises for Chevrolet’s
spacious new dimensions (in the Sport
Coupes, for example, head room has been
upped as much as 2 inches, and there’s
more leg room, too —front and rear).
Chevy’s new trunk is something else that
will please you hugely —what with its
deep-well shape and Jmmper-level loading
it bolds things.you’ve never been able to
get in a trunk before.
Yet, generously endowed as this car is
with spaciousness and clean-etched ele
gance, it holds steadfastly to all the thrifty,
dependable virtues Chevrolet buyers have
come to take for granted. Your dealer’s
the man to see for all the details.
There’s never been a trunk like it before!
The floor’s recessed more than half a foot
and the loading height is as much as 10H
inches lower.

eral gasoline tax is currently
four cents a gallon. This addi
tional cent is costing North Caro- s
lina motorists $14.6 million a year |
and nationwide adds some $5381
million annually to the highway
user tax burden.
“In addition to the federal
tax, North Carolina taxes gaso
line at seven cents a gallon. This
total tax”f 11 cents per gallon
obscures the fact that gasoline
remains one of the most econo
mical products on the market
today. While the cost of living
has risen 21 per cent in the last
10 years, the basic price of gaso
line has risen only 5.5 per cent.
During the same period gasoline
taxes have shot up 51 per cent.
Or, putting it another way, the
11 cents total tax in North Caro
lina is equivalent to a 55% tax
on the retail price of the pro
duct.”
According to Mr. Dixon, ser
vice station dealers are current
ly bringing these facts to the at
tention of Chowan County mo
toasts through curb sign post
ing of gasoline prices “plus” tax.
Service station dealers are also
securing customers’ signatures
on petitions asking Congress to
i permit the temporary fourth
cent of tax to expire on sched
ule, June 30, 1961. Customer sig
■ natures will be solicited through
October 7.
It is ideas, not vested inter
ests, which are dangerous for
good or evil.
