Long familiarity with his weak
ness had bred in the man with the
infirmity a sense of despair. Such
an attitude invites defeat. 1t is I'M

forget in the darkest hour to keep

Jesus told the man to rise and
walk" - the very thing he could
not do for his 38 years of life.
But when the Son of God speaks to
US he gives the power to respond tc
his command.
III. A Dead Friend Made Alive
(John 11:11-13).
The fact that Jesus is our Friend
and our Saviour does not exempt
us from human sorrow, but it does
assure US of the needed grace to
bear the trial and to trust him even

Lazarus, the friend Of Jesus, was

found rest and fellowship was in

to him Of his friends illness. But
ne did not come.
Why does he delay? Such Is the
hsaIt cry Of thousands today who
call on him in their hour Of trouble.

1ar ability fully to understand. We
need erly to trust him and abide

Notice Tat his failure to respond

been dead before the word reached
him. He may also have delayed in
order that there might be no ques.
ticn about the resurrection miracle.
And be may have tarried in order
that their faith might be strength
ered.
Above all, do not fail to notice
that he came. He always does.
Jesus has never failed any child
Of his. The time and the manner Of
his answer to prayers may not
conform to our opinion Of what
should have been done, but let US
remember that we know only In
part He knows all. Let us trust
him. In his darkest hour Job said:
Though he slay me, yet win I
trust in him" dob 1879.
He called Lazarus forth from the
sle>p Of death. Even so he calls
sinners forth from their spiritual

An Arab was shot dead in

A Jewish woman was wounded

Further attacks by Arab snip

Hagana, Jewish sources said,
adding they believed the. Arabs
had suffered casualties.
The Jewish Agency has re-

travel to Palestine. Fourteen
Jews were recently killed at

Legion troopers. However, the

high mass Christmas Day.
The Rev. Father Patrick of the
Franciscan Order - Father Dan
Iiel Coyle, of Baltimore, Md. helps
officiate at the mass starting at
midnight. After mass, there is
the 1::3O procession to the Shrine
Of the Nativity and the mass. In
mid-evening local christians
started gathering in the Basilica
where the services are held.
Mayor Issa Bandak, in his
morning coat and striped trou-
sers, gave me his Christmas mes
sage to the world:
81 wish all nations of the world
prosperity and happiness. I wish
all leaders of the world would
follow the high principles of the
Child of Bethlehem under which
peace and stability would be re-
stored"
But the mayor said bitterly that
he blamed the United States for
all the bloodshed in Palestine, for
all the lives which may be lost in
future fighting. He prophesied
that the Arab world would fight
"even the United States" to pre-
vent partition of Palestine.
Expressing regret at the alb
sence of the usual number of
American pilgrims, he said that
he hoped they would be here
next year - "only if partition
is prevented"
But though Bethlehem looks to-
night like British army leave
camp, the atmosphere is one of
devotion. The Tommies wander
through the Basilica, and their
hobnailed shoes send echoes
through the stone corridors. They
are shopping, too, crowding the
little souvenir shops.
In the Grotto, the soldiers and
a few civilians stand with awe,
and some kneel at the silver star
to kiss the spot where, tradition
says, the Christ Child was born.
