ministration :
INCLUDED
Fruits and Fruit Juices, canned and bottled (including spiced fruits)
Apples, including crabapples, applesauce, apricots, all varieties of berries, 1 Jesus employed these two days in
Our lesson this week relates the
last miracle performed by Jesus be
fore his crucifixion. It did not come
about spontaneously, from extraordi
nary circumstances, but was appar
ently decided upon by Jesus four
days before the event took place.
Three times during his ministry
Jesus restored life to those who had
died. The son of the widow of Nain
and the daughter of the ruler of the
Capernaum synagogue, Jairus, were
the first two of such miracles. The
first is reported by Luke and the lat
ter by all three synoptic gospels. The
resurrection of Lazarus is reported
only by John.
Jesus often visited the home in
Bethany, where the sisters Martha
and Mary and the brother Lazaru3
lived. Martha is pictured to us 'else
where as the practical housekeeper,
while her younger sister, Mary, was
of a more spiritual nature.
The fa:ily seemed to have been
well-to-do and their home was a re
treat time and again for Jesus. Here
he found rest and recreation after
the busy day and, quite naturally,
was very close and dear to the three
members of the household.
Jesus had been in Jerusalem a few
weeks prior to the time of our pres
ent lesson, at the Feast of the Dedi
cation, and the Jews had attempted
to stone him then. To avoid the hos
tility Jesus had withdrawn into Perea
and was east of the River Jordan
when death overtook his friend Laza
rus. Prior to his death, the two sis
ters sent a message to Jesus advising
him of the serious illness of his
friend. Noth withstanding, Jesus re
mained two days before starting for
Bethany. When he arrived, Lazarus
had been dead and four days in the
grave.
No specific explanation is given for
the deliberate action of Jesus in this
connection. Some think he realized
the effects which would follow the
miracle which he would perform and,
therefore, wanted those around Laza
rus to realize without any doubt that
death had taken place. The fact that
this would cause sorrow to his sisters
and friends was insignificant with
the greater happiness and faith which
would result from the miraculous re
turn to life. It is also likely that

'ALL GOD'S CHILLUN GOT SHOES"
Shoe leather was running short.
The Army must have plenty of good
stout shoes for its four and a half
million men. A certain number of
shoes must go overseas in lend-lease
shipments. So shoes for civilians
were suddenly, drastically rationed!
It may inconvenience some people
who are used to a great variety of
shoes to only have 3 pairs a year.
It won't bother most of us very
much and what if it does? This ra
tioning, as the old Negro spiritual
says, means that "all God's chillun got
shoes." Even with shoe output cut
down from 450 million to 333 million,
there'll be enough shoes made in the
U. S. A. in 1943 for all of us to be
well and comfortably shod.
That's because American shoes are
so well made that three pairs are
enough to see us through 12 months
of activity. Some of the shoddy
shoes that are made abroad wouldn't
be able to "take it." But American
shoes have always been wonderful.
They're a typical product of Ameri
can industry. The men and women
who make things in this country
have never stood still and been con
tent to do things in the same old
way! They've developed constantly
new and better ways of making
things. They've improved manufac
turing processes so that prices could
be reduced at no sacrifice in quality.!
This characteristic of private en
terprise has meant not only durable
beautiful shoes but smart, well-cu
dresses and coats, efficient refrigera
tors and stoves, good radios, wonder
ful automobiles, and that sense of
well-being and confidence that good
material things bring.
Right now everybody agrees that
the war must come first no matter
what happens. But let's remember
that every day manufacturers are
developing new materials, working
out new processes, and finding easier
ways to do things. After the war
these improvements can be applied to
multitudes of peacetime products, cur
tailed for the duratiop. When that
happens "all God's chullen" can have
lots of shoes.
How did George break his leg?
Well, do you see those steps over
there?
Yes.
Well, George didn't.
thinking out the problem presented-
whether or not to resurrect his friend
and thus hasten his own death.
At length, Jesus announced to his
disciples that he was going back to
Judea. This brought consternation to
them because they realized the dan
ger which had attended his last ap
pearance, but Jesus replied to their
warnings with the question, "Are
there not twelve hours in the day?"
Thomas, who was later to receive the
title of doubter, voiced a great cour
age, in the face of danger, and said
to the others, "Let us also go, that we
i may die with him." So, the journey
to Bethany was begun.
Martha met Jesus first, voicing a
complaint that her brother would not
have died if Jesus had come, but at
the same time expressing a faith in
his power, although Lazarus had been
dead these four days.
In the course of his talk with
Martha, Jesus spoke the sentence
which has so often comforted those
who mourn, "I am the resurrection
and the life; he that believeth in me,
though he were dead, yet shall he
live." Soon afterward the other sis
ter, Mary, came to Jesus, attended by
the Jews who were making loud la
mentation. Jesus was moved with indignation,
either at the hypocritical sorrow of
the attendants, or because he realized
the suffering and distress which came
with death, also an enemy to mankind
which he had come to overthrow.
Proceeding to the tomb, Jesus gave
thanks to God in words indicating his
own conviction that his prayers to
bring Lazarus back had been defin
itely answered before the event and
explaining tljat he expressed them to
increase the fath of those about him.
Then, in response to the command of
Jesus, Lazarus came forth from the
ton.b.
Some of the Jews who witnessed
the miracle believed in Jesus but
others reported the event to his re
ligious enemies in Jerusalem. The
Sanhedrin met to consider the possi
bility that this worker of miracles was
destroying their religious leadership
and power and to preserve their own
authority, decided he should die. To
avoid them, Jesus went back into re
tirement until the Feast of the Pass
over. While his enemies looked for
him, they wondered if he would come
to Jerusalem for the Feast.
