[BUT CAN IT BE FOUND IN THE BIBLE? »Ie often indignantly Band that Catholics re their teaching from [Bible. be Bible is their "rule lith”... and they argue t every man lias the right ability to discover for elf, by his interpreta of the Bible, what he must ve and do in order to be saved. fe do not question the sincerity iese people and we applaud all | strive earnestly to understand |obscrve the Scriptures.

The Lord instructed I Apostles to "go forth... teach Btions”— and to insure that His • would always be maintained, st established His Church, .. billar and mainstay of the truth" Timothy 111:15). last part of the Bible... Ken by St. John... was not jjtdeted until 60 years after the cifixion of Christ. There was no pe in anything resembling its tnt form until nearly 400 years Jesus had died on the Cross. I the widespread distribution of lible as we know it today was ssible until the invention of ^ting, some 1400 years after the Sor’s death. By what "rule of faith" did the b 13 millions of Christians live during those 1500 years? The answer is, of course, that the teaching of the Church was the rule of faith for the Christian world. And St. Paul reminds us that Christianity consists of "one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism" (Eph. IV:5). "God is a God of peace, not of disorder,” St. Paul said further (1 Cor. XIV:33). Yet today we have nearly 300 different religious denominations in the United States, all calling themselves Christian... all profess ing the Bible as their rule of faith ... and all differing to some extent or another in their understanding of what the Bible means. Could Christ have left a "rule of faith that would permit such confusion? Would He have left the interpre tation of His Word to the fallible and changing judgments of men — when our very souls depend on a correct understanding and ob servance of the things Christ has taught us? Because this question is all im portant ... because it certainly does matter what a man believes... we invite you to examine the rule of faith of the first Christians-a rule that is still maintained by the Cath olic Church. Because the Bible is i God’s Word, and because He gave it to us for a purpose, we invite you c to see what this purpose is.

In announcing the results of the program, VA said they are so significant that they are expected to pay health dividends to the en tire nation. In the four year period that the program has been under way on a fully implemented basis, VA has screened 3,217,000 persons for TB. These include 2,513,000 patients and 704,000 employees. Among these two big groups, VA discov ered 12,740 cases of active pul monary (lung) TB and 34,370 cases of inactive pulmonary TB. Of even more importance than the results to date, VA said, are the prospects for the future. The segment of the population covered is so large. VA said, that the re sults not only will reduce the inci dence of TB infection among vet erans and their families, but also should reduce the number of TO cases and deaths among the gener al population. Officially known as the tuber culosis case finding survey pro gram, the vast scope and import ance of the endeavor are indicated in the four-year analysis just com pleted. The figures show that an aver age of 67,000 persons was screen 3d each month during the four year period. Among this group, approximately 265 previously un known cases of active pulmonary TB and 760 inactive cases have leen turned up each month. This is an average of approximately 1,000 new cases found every month 7or the four-year period. In view of the infectious nature >f active pulmonary TB, VA said t considers the number of new ;ases found and treated each nonth as an achievement in the lation-wide campaign to bring TB inder further control. In fact, V A added, the mass survey has nade it possible, for the first ;ime, to keep VA installations vir ;ually “clean” from TB infection >f others. Q—Wiil I have to pay income ax on disability compensation pay nents I receive from the VA? A—No. VA benefit payments ire not taxable. In fact, they need lot even be reported as income, 'or tax purposes. Prescription Service Depend on us for prompt, efficient Prescription Service.

Evening Worship 7:30 P M. ‘ Diversity in Unity” will be the topic for the Sunday Morning ser mon at the First Baptist church. It isn’t necessary for people to belong to the same church to have unity. There are those who hold up denominationalism as the great weakness of the Christian move ment. It has its faults, but at the same time it has its virtues. Re member that organic union in no sense means unity in the Spirit of Jesus Christ. Christians are united who know Jesus Christ per sonally and live in His Spirit. A person who knows Jesus Christ personally in one denom ination has much more in com mon with a person of like faith in another church than he has with a member of his own group who doesn’t know Jesus Christ personally. There are millions and millions of Christians who are united in the free churches. Jesus Christ is interested that we be free and at the same time united in the Spirit. Do not be deceived by the Big One-Church idea. Our| way of life has been determined by a spiritual democracy in which there is “Diversity In Unity.” More About— Students Fill In From Page 1 meeting at Oakley High school: Mrs. Frances McKinney’s fourth grade, Larry Rhymer: Miss Gregg’s fourth grade.
