Good news TOP ANALYTIC MAN John 5:1-15 Our Lord attended a feast of the Java in Jerusilem, knowing that the event would afford Him numerous op portunitiea for doing much good to many of thoaa in at tendance. ? Hie Pool By the sheep market was a pool called Bethesda, meaning "the house of mercy." When the waters bubbled up in termittently they were reputed to contain elements of a medicinal and curative nature for the one who entered the pool first after the troubling of the waters. ? The Patients The rods of the five porches around the pool protected the sick folk from the sun and rain while they were awaiting the moving of the waters. On the Sabbath that Christ visited Bethesda, a motely gathering of sick and afflicted people were assembled along the five porches. In the crowd were the blind, feeble, debilitated, lame and withered, many of whom were helpless. Those invalids, who were so anxious to get rid of their maladies, gazed at the waters, and each time they bubbled a flash of hope came to them. Among those who thronged the porches was a man who had suffered from a disabling infirmity for 38 years. This pathetic figure, lying there within sight of the pool, suf fered the twofold agony of being unable to reach it in time, and then teeing other* far leas needy, snatch the boon o ( healing from before his eyes. He had waited so long that he was almost in the grip of despair. ?The Physician. Ever the incarnation of mercy, Christ, the Great Physician, went to the place where this patient and numerous others were in order that He might bless them. He always went to the places where hearts were aching and breaking. Regardless of whether human suffering was physical, mental or spiritual, Christ delighted to alleviate suf fering, restore health, and present salvation to the needy. Knowing his condition and circumstances, Christ asked the man if he would really like to be made well. Willingness to be cured was essential to his recovery. When he signified his willingness and desire to be healed, Christ challenged the man's faith, saying, "Rise, take up thy bed and walk." Because Christ's command is His enablement, this afflicted man was cured immediately, instantaneously, completely and permanently, and he took up his bed and walked. ? The Persecution When the Jews saw the man carrying his bed on the Sab bath they objected and sought to discover who had healed him. As soon as the man's Physician was identified, the Jews persecuted the Saviour and tried to slay Him. Extension news PAIGE UNDERWOOD ? Today's clothing prices ?seem to shock most peoples' pocketbooks ! It could be a .good time to look at your ^"closet cases" that are too Cgood to toss out? but just hang i there because you never wear 'them. i The Magic word is ? "recycle" one or more of ; these garments by adding ; imagination and giving it an ; up-to-date personality. Up -dating doesn't necessarily ;mean a lot. Add a scarf, a belt, ;or jewelry or all three for a ; fresh new look. > Consider layering garments I you already have; wear a ' tunic or dress over a dress; if lone sweater is good, two may I be better; or add a new vest to ;a pants suit. A change in ^length may be all that is ; necessary. ; Predictions for 1980 are ; shorter skirts and dress ? lengths. If you are recycling j by legthening hemlines, you kwill find the following ^technique helpful for ? removing all but the most ' stubborn creases. (Of course I no amount of work can erease I a line made by frayed or faded ? fabric.) : Make a solution of two parts I water and one part white vinegar. Test the solution for color fastness on a small fabric scrap betore proceeding. Next, dab the crease line with the solution. Steam press over a press cloth. Allow the fabric to completely dry before moving the garment. After the fabric is dry, proceed with above steps until the hem is com pletely pressed with the vinegar solution. For hard to remove hemlines, try this technique. (Remember, test on a scrap of fabric.) Dab the crease line with the vinegar solution. Place two strips of aluminum foil on either side of the hem (shiny sides next to garment.) Press around the hem remembering to allow the fabric to completely dry before removing it. I have had excellent results for pants and sleeve hems on my son's suits with this method. Consider three main factors in determining a garment's recycling potential: (1) fabric type, (2) fabric condition, and (3) garment style. Good quality fabric is necessary for a successful project. If garment fabric is weak, worn, torn, stained or faded, its limited future may not justify time and effort.

Dear friends. It is difficult for one's emotions to accept the loss of a fellow human. The mind understands ? but the emotions may refuse. Ceremony affects the emotions: music ? ritual ? people as a group relating to one purpose. For this reason a funeral ceremony has a healing effect on the emotions of the bereaved. Respectfully, CARD OF THANKS I wish to express my sincere appreciation and heartfelt thanks to everyone that remembered me and my family through cards, flowers, gifts, food and visits during the time of our bereavement. May God bless each one of you. Rosa B.
