• > ■ THI YANCEY RECORD 1 THURSDAY, JULY 25, 1963 \ ■ MUSTARD SEEDS BY FR. DON KAPLE ' , I Philip, the Deacon preached to, the Samaritans and they believed him and were bap tized, the Apostle sent Peter and John to Saznaria to pray for them, and to lay their hands upon them that they might receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 8: 4-25). Catholics believe that this is another 'holy Sacrament which was instituted by Jesus • Christ; that this is another personal en counter which the soul has with Jesus its Saviour. And this Sacra ment we call Confirmation. Jesus had promised the Apostles that he would ’ send the Holy Spirit. “But I speak the truth to you;*’ he said, “it is expident for you that I depart. For if I do not go, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I- go, I will send him to you (St. John 16:7). Jesus oalled the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth. His mission would be to bear witness to Christ (St. John 15:28). One of the ways in which the Holy Spirit would carry out His mission would be through the Apostles, for he would teach them and bring to their minds what ever Jesus taught them (St. John 14:36) and they, in turn, would bear witness to Jesus Christ in their lives (St. John, 15:27).“ . .the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness concerning me. And you also bear witness, because from the begin ning you are with me” (St. John 15 : 26, 27). Jesus kept his promise. The Holy Spirit was sent by the Father in the name of Jesus. “And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a violent wind blow ing, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them parted tongues as of fire, which settled upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Spirit. . .” (Acts 2: 2,4). Peter, who had been afraid to admit to a girl that he even knew Jesus, went out from the room and boldly preached Christ to the multitude who as sembled outside the house.- The / 4-WHEEI\ 'Jo&p Universal are performance-proved s over billions of miles!

I U1 of them went to their death j n the name of Jesus. All of them. Pore witness to Christ by their i lives and by thpir deaths. But Jesus knew that not only the Apostles but all of his follow ers would be in need of the Holy Spirit. He clearly warned them: ‘‘Behold, I am sending you forth like sheep in the midst o) wolves they will delivei you up to councils, and scourge you in their synogogues, and you will be brought before the gover nors and kings for my sake, for a witness to them and to the Gen dies” (St. Matt. 10: 16, 18). “Aho orother will hand over brother tc. death, and the father his child; children will rise up against par ents and put them to death. And you will be hated by all for my iames sake. . . .” (St. Matt: 10 21, 22). And Jesus assured them, “But when they deliver you up do not be anxious how or what you are to speak; for what you are e speak will be given you in thai hour. For it is not you who are speaking, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks through you” (St. Matt: 10: 19, 20). Therefore, Jesus wanted to give his followers, the Holy Spirit in a special way. The Holy Spirit would give them the strength and the courage they would need to bear witness to the truth. And so Jesus instituted the Sacrament of the laying on of hands and anointing with oil, the Sacrament of Con firmation. Truly this is a won derful gift from our loving Saviour. But the Spirit breathes where he wills. If ever Christianity is to be delivered from the scandal of divisions, all Christians must be come sensitive to workings of the Holy Sp rit—the Spirt of truth— within them. The Holy Spirit is also the Spirit of love and unity. Although truth without love intol erant, love wit-hou truth can flicker but briefly. Only when Christians are once again one heart and in mind will there be one fold and one shepherd.»“And other sheep I have that are not of this fold. Them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold and one shepherd” (St. John 10:16). lEnit Slip Bfc. cm m | -*• Wh * . r- ** mmgtuL ?#., ' *.•» I I ■ ;. v :. -r - \ CHALLENGE AND OPPORTUNITY Luther Wirioonw e-elf, Ashebo ro, confers with Miss North Caro lina, tall Jeanne Swanrier of Graham, about her Atlantic City presentation gown, a gift of Cone Mills.

If you analyzed the situation, you probably discovered that there was nothing wrong with the ham mer. Or the chair. Or the barn. Safety authorities will remind you that you swung the hammer Wrong.

The fact is, authorities say. some sort of human failure is be hind ninety per cent of farm acci dents. This doesn’t mean, of course, that you’ll be safe if you keep only ten per bent of your machinery in top Working order. But it does show that we need to j examine ourselves as we give our | farms and homes a good safety i check. We need to make some 1 corrections on our attitudes and 1 habits. | Take for instance: You say, ; ”What the heck?” and step over a moving belt on a combine.
