Teo Late, 35, 36
Though vanquished often by phys-
icians' skill, there are times when
death defies the doctors. Especially
heartrending is it when there is a
race against time and a life ebbs out
before help arrives. As Jesus walk-
ed with Jairus, word was brought
from the house of this -enter of the
synagogue that death had conquered.
Jairus was dumb with sorrow and
disappointment, but Jesus remained
calm. He said to Jairus; "Be not a-
fraid, only believe." To tell a strick-
en father whir had just learned of Isis
daughter's death to overcome fear
with faith, might have appeared

The difference Christ has made is

In the house of Jairus, as in the East
generally when death has come, were
professional mourners who wept and
wailed. They were paid to make a
show of sr'•"ow. Jesus put the wail-
ers out. They were net practical:
they could do nothing but wail, and

"SHALL WE FAIL THEN NOW?"
Because I have been given much,
I, tee, sta'l give;
Because of Thy great bounty, Lord,
Each day I hive
I shall divide my gifts from Thee
With every brother that I see
Who hae the need of help from me,
Because I have been sheltered, fed,
By Thy good'care,
I cannot see another's lack
And I net share
My glowing fire, my loaf of bread,
My roof's safe shelter overhead,
That he, too, may be comforted.
Because love has been lavished so
Upon me, Lord, •
A wealth I knew that was not meant
For me to hoard;
I shall give love td those in need,
The cold and hungry clothe and feed,
Thus shall I show my thanks indeed.

Along earls darkening aisle and down-

To old Oblivion. We shall disband

To justify and make our journey
