There are some men whose lives
it is impossible to study without re-
ceiving the impression that they
were expressly sent into the world
to do a work required by the juno
ture of history on which they fell.
This impression is produced by no
life more than that of the Apostle
Paul. He was given to Christianity
when it was in its most rudimentary
beginnings. Christianity got the op-
portunity in him of showing to the
world the whole force it contained.
This great man who did so much
to spread the gospel throughout the
world, suffered from a severe bod
lily weakness. He said, There was
granted unto me thorn in the flesh
the messenger of satan to buffet
me, lest l should be exalted above
measure.
Cd Paul had to live and work,
while suffering from bodily weak
ness. Daily he was reminded of this
thorn in the flesh, daily he had to
live with it, unpleasant though it
was.
Wherever he went, whatever he
did, there was always the aware
ness of this thorn in the flesh. What
was this thorn in the flesh? From
the evidence available it is assumed
that he had some form of disfiguring
disease which greatly handicapped
him in his work. Authorities have
advanced the theory that the disease
he suffered from was violent oph-
thalmia, causing disagrecable red
ness of the eyes.
Whatever the thorn Paul felt it
may have been liability so much
so that he prayed earnestly to have
it removed. II besought the Lord
thrice, that it might depart from
me-" Though he prayed earnestly
for the removal of the thorn, the
Lord did not remove it. There are
some things in our individual lives
as in international life, which are
liability, living thorn, which we
may pray to have removed, but in
stead of being removed, they remain
with us.
Think of the thorns of hatred
fear, division, and selfishness, which
affect our national and international
life. How millions of earnest, god
fearing men and women have
prayed for their immediate removal
But these thorns are not yet re-
moved. Twice in twenty five years
untold millions of people have not
only prayed, but they have died or
the battlefields of the world to root
{ out the thorns of hatred, intolerance

and greed. But despite the prayer,
and the glorious hope for united
world, the same old thorn of hatred,
greed and suspicion are still with us.
Paul said, Il besought the Lord
thrice, that it might depart from
me-"
(2) In the second place we note
the attitude of Paul, after his re-
quest had been denied. Some men
under similar circumstances would
have gone into obscurity never to
serve or preach again. They would
have felt rebuffed, that the good
Lord ought to have made an ex-
ception in their case.
No such spirit as this was dis
played by Paul-instead he grac-
iously accepted the thorn in the
flesh, as something he would have
to live with the rest of his days.
From that time on, he made up his
mind that through his infirmities he
would gladly glorify God.
Most gladly therefore will 1
rather glory in my infirmities that
the power of Christ may rest upon
men," Therefore take pleasure in
my infirmities in reproaches, in dis
tresses, in prosecutions, in necessi-
ties, for Christ's sake, for when am
weak then I am strong.
His attitude was wholesome and
beautifully Christian. Paul's attitude
sets pattern for each of us to fol-
low. The majority of us have some

community groups are taking an
active part in the holiday arrange
mentS.
While each hospital is making its
own holiday plans, the festivities
generally will follow the same pat
tern.
One of the Christmas Day fea-
lures will be the world premiere OF
the picture, ''The Tender Years,
starring Joe E. Brown. The film will
be shown simultaneously in 127 VA
hospitals where facilities are avail
able, including Ft. Custer and Dear
born in Michigan; Grille (Cleveland)
Dayton (hospital and domiciliary)
and Chillicothe in Ohio; and Lex
ington, Louisville and Outwood in
Kentucky.
The traditional Dickens "a
Christmas Carol" also will be fea-
tured at each of these hospitals with
a special holiday community sing
and cartoon.
Each hospital will be gaily adorn-
ed with decorations and illuminated
Christmas trees. Parties will be held
in recreation halls and on the wards,
with Santa Claus distributing gifts
among the patients. Refreshments
will be served. There will be record
ed music throughout the day. Am
bulatory patients and VA personnel
will sing carols in the hospitals and
throughout the grounds.
Bedridden = patients will see or
hear the holiday Festivities by means
of hospital radio equipment and
portable picture equipment. Blind
patients will have an opportunity to
join the carol singing, with the
words of their favorite carols in
Braille.
ChaplainS will conduct religious
services in each hospital.
Special Christmas menus are
planned. Most of the hospitals will
serve roast turkey with all the
trimmings.
The veteran-patientS are getting
their Christmas shopping completed
early and easily this year through
the cooperation of volunteer groups
which have sponsored free gift
shops in most of the hospitals
In these shops, patients may sell
ect gifts, at no expense, to be sent
to families or friends. Hospital re-
creation personnel and volunteer
workers assist in the selection-gift
wrap, address and mail the presents
In addition, mobile gift carts are
taken to the wards, enabling bed
fast patients to participate in this
novel Christmas shopping service.

thorn in the flesh, some bodily
weakness, some organic disease,
which is incurable. We are all made
aware almost every day of our de-
fects, weaknesses, incurable diseases.
What can we do about them?
We can allow them to get us
down, we can withdraw into shell
of isolationism, we can allow them
to make us sour on life, and curse
the day that we were born, we can
try and fly away from our bodily
defects, but in all of these avenues
there is no cure for us.
We should never allow our bodily
infirmity to crush our spirit, mar
our vision, or lessen our interest in
life. Instead we should lock up to-
ward the eternal hills from whence
cometh our help, look out upon the
beautiful things of life, look at the
world, where millions of others are
suffering as we are suffering, look
at the stars, and the handiwork of
God.
BY looking upward, by letting in
Gods sunshine, by sharing with
others, life becomes rich and mean
ingful.
Some of the happiest people in
the world are those who have suf-
fered great bodily pain for years.
About them there is a halo of peace,
calm, and serenity seldom found
elsewhere. Through intense pain,
they have been able to look up to
God and mediate upon the things
that are beautiful, lovely, and of
good report. They have worked out
in their lives both the pattern of
Jesus and the pattern of Paul.
This we can all do, whatever the
thorn, we can use it to His glory.
Our aches and pains, our reserves
and disappointments, can lead us to
higher plane of living, where we
can say, with George Matheson, the

Erwin G.. (Dad) Chamberlin, one
sof Caldwelps oldest and most hlghly
esteemed residents and a man be-
loved by all who know him, was
born on April 20, 1862, on farm
three miles south of Caldwell. His
parents were Judah M. and Lucena
Gibbs Chamberlin, the father a ma
tive of Washington county and the
mother, of the Dudley community.
His maternal grandfather, Dennis
Gibbs. was one of the finest settlers
in the vicinity of Caldwell, locating
here about the close of the War OF
1912, where he acquired large land
interests and built a flour mill on
the banks of Duck creek, about a
mile south of Caldwell and later be-
came very wealthy for his day.
This pioneer was the father of a
son, Dennis, Jr., who, after the
death of his father, took control of
the home farm and mill. He later
studied law, was admitted to the
bar and was twice elected to the
office of probate judge of Noble
county. He practised law in Cald-
well for many years and later re-
moved to Hutchinson, Kansas
where he served as police Judge and
died in that city. Judah M Cham

by the B. & o. S. w. railroad for
about thrifty years, operating q

years old and he and his brother

taken into the family of their uncle

reared and educated Frank M. died
