THURSDAY, JULY 15, 1965 Th« Woadtrs Os Haaca Si • m t By: Father Robert Valema . .If we could brush away the veil. of. familiarity, which blurs our reading of the his torical accounts of the man called Jesus, we would, I be lieve, be struck by His deter mined avoidance of the spec tacular. As He prepared to begin His public ministry, the devil suggested that He cast Himself down from the 'top of the temple and mira culously save Himself so that imen would believe in Him. ‘Jesus sent Satan scuiying. Another time some of the apostles urged Him to call down fire from heaven to consume those who refused to believe. Our Lora told them that they knew not of what spirit they were. Toward the end of His life on earth, Jesus’ relatives insisted that he must let His power be manifested to people in great, numbe's if He hoped to be a successful leader of men. Jesus scorned their sugges-' lions and the acclaim of the crowds. Throughout the gospels it is evident that Jegus did not perform His miracles in ord er to astound men. He had an entirely different motive be hind His miraculous actions. He wanted to show that God could and would exercise His ■ poVe- through men.

C. • ' ' ~ - - ' ■■■■■ I' —"I ■ could doubt that it was the power of Gad which healed the man born blind. But God exerted His power through the human nature of His Son, Jesus, and the homely bit of matter made up of spittle and clay. There was nothing unusual about the hem of Christ’s garment; it was com mon cloth. But God used it as the material instrument in healing the woman with the issue of blood. There can be little doubt that the para lytic whom Jesus cu-ed had at least some kind of sorrow for his sins. But it was not until the fleshly tongue of Christ spoke the words, “Your sins are forgiven you,” that God granted a complete pardon. Jesus demanded faith of those He hehaled, but sim ple faith was not enough. God’s action was also necess ary, and thi.. action He ac complished through the hu manity of Jesus, and simple signs, like the clay, the cloth, and the spoken word. All through His life Jesus used these simple human i signs as the instruments of divine power, and He used His own humanity His voice, His touch as the means of bringing God’s gifts to men. Shortly after His resurrec tion, Christ appeared to the apostles and told them that now they were to become the human instruments of God’s power. “As the Father sent Me, so I send you.” In order to make His meaning clear He went on to say, “Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven. . .”. After they had received the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, the apostles went out to fulfill the com mand of Christ, to be the human instruments through which Gcd would continue to exercise His power. As they established new Christian communities. Pete- and Paul and the other apostles chose other men to become instru ments in the hand of God, so it contnued through the centuries. Today God works as pow erfully and as effectively as he worked through the hu manity of Jesus He still uses s'mple things like water, bread and wine, and oil as signs of His powerful action; He still uses the touch of the human hand and the sound of the human voice as the means of bringing His gifts to men.

NOW", IHI TIME 70 O*T A NO I »U, ON IHI NO 1 CAHI HIGHER INSURANCE RATES REQUESTED RALEIGH, July 8, 1965 Higher liability insurance rates for private passenger cars were requested last week in a filing submitted to the Commissioner of Insurance by the North Carolina Automo bile Rate Administrative Of fice. The over-all statewide rate level increases proposed aver age 11.6%. The rate changes, however, vary by classifica tion. For the minimum limits of coverage required by the financial responsibility law, the requested rate inc-ease for most drvers is $5 00 per year. For other drivers, re quested rate changes range from a reduction of $1 00 per year to an increase of $16.00 or more per year. Quoting from official re cords, of the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehic les, the filing cites these statistics: The number of highway accidents in North Carolina jumped from 59,734 in 1960 to 82,070 in 1964, an increase of 37.4%. During the same period motor vehicle registrations in the State increased only 181%, - W. F. Laughlln, general manager of the Rate Admin istrative Office, said these fig ures discredit any theory that accidents in North Qarolina are increasing sclely because the number of autos Is In creasing. “The real significance of the figures,” Mr. Laughlln said, “is that the source of In stance premium Income (cars insured) has not in creased nearly as rapidly as the source of insurance losses (auto accidents).” “The alarming rise in acci dent frequency is only one of the reasons why insurance companies need more prem ium income,” Mr. Laughlln said. “The other reason is that claim costs are going up,” he said. The filing cites examp les of increasing prices affect ing automobile liability insur ance claims such as: lncrease in cost of medi cal care, up 10.5% in 1964 over 1960. lncrease in the cost of automobile parts. For a popu lar 1960 model car a fender that cost $37.00 in 1960 cost $45.25 in 1965. lncrease in automobile repair labor rates. The filing lists eight repair shops in various North Carolina cities making charges ranging from $4.00 to $5.00 in 1960 and from $4.50 to $6.00 in 1985. Mr. Laughlln said that be cause existing auto liability rates are not adequate to pay claims and expenses, insuran ce companies are reluctant' to voluntarily insure those risks which are more likely to in cur claims than the average risk. As a result, he pointed out, the number of applica tions assigned through the Assigned Risk Plan has been increasing tremendously . “A consistently adequate rate level would reverse that trend,” he said. Mr. Laughlln stated that the present average auto lia bility rate in North Carolina is the lowest of any of the Eastern states. “If the propos ed increase is granted”, he said, “North Carolina's aver age rate would still be among the lowest in the East and would be 20% below the coun trywide average.
