The Light Of God

x GOOD cross-scction Of Jesus
s : methods and ideas can be seen
in Mark 10, into which one chapter
Mark packs his whole account of a
number Of weeks which Jesus spent
in the region called Perea. Observe
the variety Of situations which con-
fronted Jesus. First there was a
question about divorce. When they
brought that question up to Jesus.
he did not dodge it. He did not call
it a personal matter in which he,
as a teacher of religion, had no IN
terest. He did not say it was strict
ly a matter for the civil courts. You
may read what he did say in Mark
10. You will not that first of all he
brings God into his answer.

Religion And Little Children

THIS CHAPTER includes the ia.
< nous story of the little children
who were brought to Jesus-evident-
ly quite small children, for Jesus
lifted them into his arms. We do not
here Jesus saying, "Children are
too small for me to take any interest
in them. Wait till they are older.
What good can religion do these
tiny tots?" On the contrary, Jesus
not only blessed them, but held
them up as models for older people.
Is your church following Jesus
here? Is your church interested
in the little children as much as
it is in the "paying" members?
Or are the little ones showed off
into some damp corner of the
church basement? In your state or
province, do the Christian people
take an interest in the children?
Do children in your section get as
good attention as pure-bred cattle
do?

What Does Religion Cover?

VET THAT FARMER is not a bit
more idiotic than a Christian
who, when asked about this or that
activity or aspect of life, answers.
That's not religion. I have no in
terest in it." Religion isn't a little
fenced-off pasture for lambs, tiny
garden plot behind thick hedges.
Religion covers the whole
farm, every bit of life from end
to end. Jesus knew this very
well. He never once refused to
discuss anything on the ground
that it was not religious.
He cast light on everything that
touched him. He called his followers
the light of the world Not flash
lights, shining in one narrow beam!
Not flashlights, but lamps. set on a
lampstand and "giving light to all
who are in the house"

AS Wide AS Life

THEN THERE WAS a question
L about eternal life. OF course
Jesus answered that one, it was
obviously a religious question. eek
cept that he gave it what some
people even today would consider
a not very religious answerD Jesus
went on to talk about money and
the effect it has on a mans prospect
of eternal life. Jesus would be the
very last person to imagine that
a mans bank account has nothing
to do with religion Some people to
this day don't like to hear a preach
er mention money in his sermons.
Well, such people might have been
offended by Jesus, for he often
preached about money and prop
erty.
Then there was the question
of ambition, the audaciOus re-
quest that James and John made
of him. He had some strong re-
marks to make about that.
And finally at Jericho, not long
before Palm Sunday, there was the
blind beggar Eartimaeus. Jesus
did not say to him, Health is no
affair of mine. 1 cure souls, not
bodies"

Eviction After Public
And City Ease Plight

The Clayton D. Whiddens to-
day face eviction from their $780,
|a-month home in Alexandria,
which has just been made warm
and comfortable again through
contributions from a sympathetic
public.
An eviction suit was continued
today in Alexandria Civil and Po-
lice Court until March 20 on re-
quest of Attorney T. Brooke How
ard, who has been retained by an
anonymous person to represent
the Whiddens.
The family's plight came to light
Tuesday after Whidden was ar
rested and charged with attempt
ing to break into a grocery. He
was quoted by police as saying
he wanted to get food for his wife
Elsie. %, and three babies.
Whidden, 24-year-old Marine
veteran. was charged with at
tempted housebreaking and held
for grand jury action after plead
ing guilty to the charge before
Judge James r. Duncan. Mr..
Howard said Judge Duncan has
agreed to grant a new hearing
April 8. Mr.. Howard said a not
guilty plea would be entered for
the Marine veteran at that time.
High Rent Drained Savings.
Miss Barbara Watkins, Alex
andria welfare director, said the
family's greatest difficulty has
been excessive rent.
Their case is typical of many
young families who cannot pay
high rents" the welfare director
said.
Miss Watkins said the family
had moved into the house in the
400 block of East Raymond ave-
nue. about three weeks ago when
their third child was born. Mrs.
Whidden said they had planned
to share the house with another
family. but the other family
backed out. High rents had de-
pleted the family savings before
they moved to Alexandria, Miss
Watkins said.
Miss Watkins said more than
100 calls came into her Office yes
terday offering food, clothing and
money.
Utilities Turned On.
The Welfare Department has
been directing assistance for the
family since being notified by
Alexandria police of the situa-
ton. All utilities were turned on
yesterday and more kerosene for
the stove was obtained. The
home had been without heat for
about a week.
The welfare director said she
received a call Monday to inform
her of the Whiddens' need. She
said she called Whidden where
he worked and asked if he needed
any help. She offered to visit
them and help them out.
He said no. and told me he
worked every day. He seemed sur
prised that I offered assistance" 2"
Miss Watkins said.
Whidden told Miss Watkins she
need not visit his home, but
agreed to visit her Office Wednes-
day, the director said. Early
Tuesday morning Whidden was
arrested at the grocery. Miss
Watkins said she felt Whidden
sincerely believed he was capable
of handling his own affairs when
he talked with her. 3.
Whidden quit his job as a route
man for a dry cleaning firm Mon
day because he said he was not
making any money. He worked
on a commission basis. His en-
ployer told police Whidden seemed
to be honest and was q sincere
worker. He, thought Whidden
might do better in some other job.
Whidden, freed under $500 bond
yesterday, was to be interviewed
for a new job today.
