Thou Son of the Most High
God? 1 adjure Thee by God
that Thou torment me not"
The demons knew that terrible
judgments of God awaited
them in the abyss, or bot
tomless pit, to which all
evil spirits are doomed (II
Peter 2: ~. The legion of
demons asked for respite
when they made the request,
Torment us not before the
time" The ''legion" request
ed permission to stay in the
country, saying, ''Send us in
to the swine, that we may en-
ter them. Jesus positive dis
approval of the raising and
eating of swine's flesh, is here
seen, in that He allowed the
demons to enter into the swine
(about two thousand in num-
ber), whereupon the entire
herd rushed violently down a
sharp incline into the Sea.

The demoniac was deliver

Son of God! Jesus alone can
set one free from the bondage
of sin and Satan, and He alone
can break sins shackles. He
alone can bring the blessing of
Gods Salvation and Healing
to those obsessed or oppressed
in body, soul, and spirit by Sa-
tan. Jesus set the demon
possessed man free and "cloth-
ed him in his right mind"
What a wonderful blessing
comes into the life of those
who receive Christ!
Instead of the Gadarenes
rejoicing in the deliverance
which Christ Jesus had given
the man, it is written that
"they were afraid" and "be-
gan to pray Him to depart out
of their coasts" These people
placed greater value upon the
swine than upon the deliver
ance of the man once possess
ed by demons. The rank and
file know little or nothing of
the value of the spiritual life,
therefore cannot rejoice when

a man is restored and reconcil-
ed to. God. Jesus asked the
question: "What shall it pro-
fit a man if he shall gain the
whole world, and lose his own
soul? Or what shall man
give in exchange for his soul?"
Jesus recognized the inesti-
mable value of mans soul,
therefore He paid the price of
his redemption by the she'd
ding of His own precious blood
and giving His life "a ran
som for many"

The Gospel makes it possible
for men to be good for some
thing. Many are satisfied with
being good for nothing" (Mat-
thew 5:13). Jesus was not sat-
isfied merely to have the de-
moniac delivered from the
power of Satan and "clothed
in his right mind" but desired
him to make use of his deliv-
erance by helping others to
know of Jesus saving Grace.
This restored one requested
Jesus that che might be with
Him." He wanted to be linked
in fellowship with the One
Who had wrought this great
dellverance for him. Jesus
could not continue His min
1stry in that region because the
people had urged Him to de-
part; yet desiring to help them,
he exhorted this man to bear
witness to Gods power to save
and heal, saying to him, "Go

them how great things the
Lord hath done for thee, and
hath had compassion on thee"

At no time did Jesus per-
form any miracle of healing
merely to display His super
human power or to satisfy idle
curiosity. Every miracle per-
formed was occasioned by
some imperative need of sin
full man. Miracles of healing
were needed because of sin.
Jesus was the miracle Work
err" because He was the Saw
ior of sinful, suffering, oppress-
ed mankind. Jesus knew full
we'll that man was in bondage
to Satan. The arch-enemy of
mankind succeeded in bring
ing about not only mans spirit
ual downfall, but his mental
and physical deterioration as
we'll. The Lord Jesus Christ
was anointed of the Holy Spirit
to destroy Cor undo) the works
of the devil.
In this Lesson we see Jesus
proving His superiority over
Satan as a miracle worker; we
see Him exercising dominion
over the entire realm Esprit
ual, mental, physical and ma
turaD, where Satan had
wrought such havoc and dis
aster. How wonderful to know
that this miracle Worker"
has not changed! 1t is said of
Him, "Jesus Christ, the same
yesterday, today and forever"
Every afflicted one is invit-
ed to come with his burdens
and cast them upon the great
Burden Bearer, expecting heal
ing and deliverance from all
the power Of Satan, in and
through the mighty Name of
Jesus.

full. The surprising thing is that

duct in the legislature, while fail

THE WHIP

AS we had anticipated the visit
of Councilmen Gordon, Brown,
Harris & Downing to st. Croix
last week during the course of
which they lambasted Crucian
legislators who didn't line up
with them, and also tried to ex-
plain their miSdeeds of the last
Legislative Assembly session has
boomeragned.
, 1948-06-21

And now, to add fire to fury,
last week the entire Guide Big
Four Councilmen went on a junk
ct to St. Croix, just to pocket a
few more dollars. AS you know,
the councilmen get $40 a day
when they go to st, Croix. Since
they all have their special hang
outs in st. Croix, it is easy to
realize that most Of that $40. a
day will be saved. The boys are
raising funds to make their trips
to the States soon, at the expense
Of the municipality. Since the de-
legation bill went up in smoke,
they have decided to make the
money another way. In the last
analysis, it is the taxpayers who
pay and pay and then pay again.
, 1948-06-21

THEN we went further &
ventured a suggestion that
each and every citizen contri-
butte five or ten cents. If this
is done we can muster suffi-
cient funds for all that is nee
essary without burdening any
particular segment of the com
munity. After all, this is every
bodys' celebration, and each
and every citizen should be
glad to pitch in his bit which
will make it universal. In the
past we have depended upon
the Council to appropriate
funds, or have passed lists to
merchants and others who
make the heaviest contribu-
ton. With the method sugges-
ted enough funds could be
raised, and yet no particular
individual or group of indivi-
duals would be contributing
more than anyone else. Five
cents or ten cents is certainly
within reach Of all.
THOUGH off to a very
start we are optimistic for sue
cesfnl results. We pledge our
fullest support, and call upon
each and every citizen to do
the same.

In another column
THE WHIP had this to say:

Gordon and Harris have made
the community look at them as
exactly what they are, when they
forced the District Court to make
a ruling on the Council appoint
ing members to executive boards
and commissions. It was their
wilfulnesS, stubbornness, and ig-
norance that caused this munich
pality to pay a lawyer $500 for
nothing. This is another example
of their reckless spending cam
paign.

EDITORIAL

Let's Make The Most OF The Anniversary
AS THE time draws near for the celebration Of the Cen
tennial Anniversary thoughts turn to the plans and prepare
ton, which up to the present, seem to be lacking. We are off
to a very slow start, and in addition, we do not seem to have
developed much enthusiasm, at least enough to warrant the
importance Of the occasion. Two Of the recent meetings were
not well attended, many Of those invited having stayed away.
The time has come when we must swing into full action if we
are to work out the type Of programs suited to such an i'm
portant occasion.
SHORTLY after Governor HASTE announced that the
anniversary would be observed we started plugging for all
out effort to make the celebrations the most impressive, sig
nificant and spectacular in the history Of the Island. We even
went further, and suggested that we use this occasion for ex-
tensive publicity on the mainland, so as to focus national at
tention on the Islands. It is common: knowledge that little
can be accomplished without the necessary publicity, which
is another means, and an effective one at that, to educate the
American public. Among the points advanced was a COM
memorative stamp, a Navy vessel named for the Islands,
plans for having a large number of natives return home, and
several days of celebrations in each island. In these celebra-
tionS, it was further suggested that the Secretary Of the In
terror be invited, along with other Washington officials.
While there is little time, yet there is enough, if we get down
to work right away, to make the celebrations a success.
O THE celebrations to be a success the entire popu-
lahon should get behind Chairman Alexander Moorhead &
his committee. Whatever is asked should be willingly COM
complied with, and if done in the right spirit we should have
q fine program. All citizens are asked to display flags and
bunting take part in parades, attend programs, and finally,
to make contributions in funds to the committee, so that nee
essary expenses may be met. Already the idea to crown an
Anniversary Queen has been accepted, and sponsors are IN
t~ensifying their campaign to sell votes for selection Of their
choice for Queen. It is now up to us to carry it to a success
FIJI completion.

Army Offers Wide
Education Values

High school graduates have a
two-fold opportunity to continue
their education by enlisting in the
U. S. Army, Master Sergeant Glen
Giffen, Of the u. S. Army and U. S.
Air Force Recruiting Station in the
Post Office Building, Fremont, an
nounced today.
Volunteers enlisting for a min
imum of three years can either be
trained in an occupational skill of
their own choosing, or, if they
wish, they can receive college cred
it's by enrolling in a self-study pro-
gram sponsored by the U. S.
Armed Forces Institute (USAFD.
The Army's pre-selected school
plan, Sergeant Giffen explained,
permits a qualified high school
graduate to pick his own field of
specialization before he enlists.
Following basic training, he is
then assigned to the school which
gives the training in the subject
chosen before enlistment.
"This plan," he said, "is giving
thousands of young men the chance
to obtain free and expert instruc-
ton in some of the worlds best
technical schools. There are more
than 60 fields of specialization
available, ranging from radio and
radar to meteorology and photo
graphy. The trade or skill select
ed will thus be rewarding to the
soldier whether he makes the
Army a career, or returns to CIV
ilian life after the expiration of
his enlistment"
Sergeant Giffen further explain
ed that enlisted men with high
school diplomas, can enroll for
university correspondence courses
and receive credits toward a col
legs degree. Fifty-nine colleges
and universities are cooperating
with USAFI in this educational
program.
