It is essential to know the
teaching of Gods Word on the
subject of Divine Healing, be-
cause the Word of God offers
a solution to the problem of
disease, a problem as universal
as that of sin. No good word
can be said in favor of dis
ease. 1t is a part of the curse
which came upon mankind as
the result of disobedience and
rebellion against God. Both
disease and death are a part of
the penalty of mans trans
gression, and have come in
to the world by the permissive
will of God. How wonderful
that God has made provision
for this curse to be removed
through the atoning work of
Jesus Christ, the Son of God!
I DIVINE HEALING PRAC-
TICED IN OLD TESLA
MENT TIMES. Exodus Is:
&c; Job lilo; Numbers
FL :4-9; II Kings 5:1-14;
Isaiah 38:1-16; 53:1-5;
jeremiah II :5-7.
When God placed man in
the Garden of Eden He gave
the command that man could
eat of all the trees in the Gar
den but that he was not to eat
of the Tree of the knowledge
of Good and Evil. God de-
finitely warned Adam: GIN
the day that thou eatest there
of, dying thou shalt surely
die" Immediately after mans
fall, God gave the promise of
the Coming Redeemer. God
made provision that in the pro-
missed Messiah the curse of sin,
sickness and disease would be
removed. The Old Testament
records many instances where
Gods servants prayed for the
healing of disease.
When God brought the chill
dren of Israel out of~the bond
age of Egypt, "they went three
days in the wilderness. and
found no water" When Moses
cried to the Lord, He showed
him "a tree, which when he
had cast it into the waters, the
waters were made sweet"
Then it was that God establish
ed the covenant of Divine
Healing for Israel; that on con-
dition of their obedience, He
would put none of the diseases
upon them which He had

brought upon the Egyptians,
for He said, 81 am the Lord
that healeth thee"
Read the wonderful deliver
ance that God gave to Job af-
ter he had been stricken by
Satan with boils. Read the
story of the serpent-bitten peo-
pie in Israel who were healed
of the effects of the serpents'
venom when they looked to
the uplifted Serpent of Brass.
Read the story of Naaman the
leper. Read the story of Heze-
kiah the king, who when dy-
ing cried to God in earnest
prayer and had fifteen years
added to his life. Look away
from the arm of flesh and put
your faith in the living God!

Luke 4:16-24; John 5:1-9;
GILT; Acts 3:1-16.
Of great Importance in the
study of Divine Healing is the
fifty-third chapter of Isaiah,
where the prophet speaks of
the coming Messiah bearing
OUR SICKNESSES as we'll as
our iniquities. The Hebrew
word ''choliy" used in this
chapter three times, verses 3, 4
and 10, should be translated
sickness" instead of griefs.
See Matthew 8:17, where the
correct translation is to be
found. The ministry of Jesus
abounds with instances of heal
ing such as that of the leper,
the palsied, the blind and
dumb, the lame and halt, and
many others, by the power of
God. His disciples when He
sent them forth to preach the
Gospel, were instructed to
heal the sick" Take special
notice also that in the Great
Commission recorded by Mark,
Jesus gave the promise to His
disciples. ''They shall lay
hands on the sick, and they
shall recover"
Jesus referred to Himself as
physician" when He said,
"They that be whole need not
a physician, but they that are
sick" It was because the peo-
pie believe in Him as "the
Great Physician" that they
drought unto Him all the sick

Him all of your troubles. Open
your heart to receive Him as
your Savior, and trust Him as

The blessing of Divine
Healing was not to pass away
with the Apostolic age. Paul
included "healing" in the nine
gifts of the Spirit entrusted to
the Church. In the Epistle of
James, specific direction is
given to the sick to call for the
elders of the Church that they
may offer ''the prayer of
faith" for healing. This applies
to the Church Of the Twentieth
Century even as it applied to
that of the First Century. Take
God at His Word. Instead of
taking drugs for your healing
and leaning on "the arm of
flesh" step out into the life
of faith in greater fullness and
power, and expect healing and
victory from God. There is
greater power in prayer than
many realize. Faith is an i'm
portant element in gaining vic
tory along every line Of Chris
tian effort and experience. No
faith brings no blessing, little
faith brings little blessing,
"great faith" brings great
blessing.

Rent Control Approved

To the Editor of The star
I have noticed in Letters to the Star"
that certain elements of the population
have written protesting against the Rent
Control Act.
1t is all very well and good for these
people who have backlog of money to say
that rent controls should come off because
they can either afford to pay high rents
or build homes. There are many people who
are not that fortunate-not entirely because
they are not intelligent and hardworking but
because they have had expenses. Many are
just newly formed family units, struggling
to live on a decent standard and on small
salaries
We pay exactly Is per cent of our monthly
income for rent. I note that letter ap-
peared in The Star stating that most people
are only paying IL to IA per cent of their
incomes for rent. That certainly is not
always the case.
I am willing to concede that there are
instances in which the landlord is being
taken for ride; but If controls come of,
rents undoubtedly will go up. know Of

Letter 1Uritten BY Sydney Smith in 1886.
Yesterdays weather was something, all

bloom around the Jefferson Memorial, the
elm trees about to bud, the forSythla

beginning to worry over what will happen
to the Cherry Blossom Festival If the

hottest February Is in forty years. What
q lot of talk there would have been on
that day in 1909, if everybody had been
told that there would not be another so
warm a February Is for the next forty
years!
But there was nobody around to spread
that word. And there were other things
to talk about. Rear Admiral SigSbee, for
example, was talking about the Maine, for
it was the eleventh anniversary of her
sinking in Havana Harbor and a great
throng of people journeyed over to Airing
ton to hear him tell the story-"On that
dark, overcast and ominous night -"
President Theodore Roosevelt was send
ing a message to Congress, proposing
establishment of a Children's Bureau.
President-elect Taft, after a rest in Gin
cinnati, was en- route to/Washington for a
talk with Mr.. Roosevelt and the political
writer's were saying that the interview
might bring rumored feud into the open.
The Commission of Fine Arts, created by
Mr. Roosevelt, was reporting that OF three
plans to commemorate Abraham Lincoln,
it favored one to build great memorial
on the axis of the Capitol and Washington
Monument at site on the banks OF the
Potomac, which would have to be filled in.

New Liqht on the B-36

It is evident that the Air Force has
launched a counteroffensive against de-
tractors of its favorite weapon, the huge
six-engined strategic bomber, the B-36.
Air Secretary Symington recently told
congressional committee that undisclosed
persons have been doing "hatchet job"
on the big successor to the wartime B-29.
And now Mr. Symington has struck back
with series of vigorous replies to skeptlcs,
replies intended to demolish claims that
the B-36 is too short-ranged, too slow and
too vulnerable to jet-f1ghter attack.
In fairness to the critics, 1t must be
pointed out that most of the miSgivings
about the B-36 have arisen as result OF
performance statistics given out in the
past in Air Force quarters. In recent
public demonstration, for example, 1856
averaged only $50 miles an hour en- route
to its target" accelerating to $50 miles an
hour during the bombing run" Critics
have wondered how such relatively slow
air giant could cope with squadron OF
enemy jet-propelled fighters. These doubts
about the B-36 have certainly been justi-
fled by what little has been published off,
cially about the craft.
But there are no doubts in Mr.. Syming-
tons mind about the B36 and its capa-
bilities. Venturing further than any one
in the Air Force heretofore has gone in
defending the great ship, the Air Force
Secretary unqualifiedly asserts that the
B-36 is the highest-fying, longest-range,
most deadly bomber ever built. It can, he
told Connecticut club, carry an atomic
bomb from this continent to another and
return to it's base without refueling. AS for
the iet-fghter threat, he said the bomber
can fly at attitudes beyond the reach of
any jet fighter that we have so far de-
veloped. And he disclosed that improved
models soon will be able to travel swifter
than any bomber except the jet type.
All of this is reassuring to those who
have been assailed with sincere worries
about the ability of any conventional
bomber to perform distant bombing mis-
sion in a jet era. Mr.. Synington's state
ments should set at rest some of the
runaors which have circulated about the
alleged shortcomings of the B-36. At the
same time, it would be unfortunate If his
remarks should lead to complacency re-
garding our military strength, or the need
for continued maintenance of balanced
forces Mr.. Symington was quoted as de-
claring that one B-36 with an A-bomb
could destroy distant objective which 1t
would take ground armies years to cap
Evening star., 1949-02-16

ture-and that this could be done in six
teen hours at risk of only sixteen lives.
Assuming that this is true, Mr.. Synington
neglected to add that ground armies still
would be needed to seize and control such
areas-and that Navy still would be
needed to transport the Army and keep it
supplied. Nor is it beyond the realm of
possibility that more effective bombing of
a special target might be done by A-bomb
armed bombers launched from close-in
carrier.
In short, 1t would be extremely perilous
in this transitional age of scientific war
fare to place sole reliance on one type of
weapon, however promising it may be. A
properly balanced and integrated air-sea-
ground organization is still the best known
insurance against any attack in the fore
seeable future.

So the voters were urged to 60 to the polls

Evidence Of Inheriting
Heart Diseases Found
Report Discloses Possibility That
Genes May Be Responsible
By Thomas r. Henry

Evidence for the inheritance of "comrpn

foremost cause of death in the Unked
States today, is presented in a report tlst
made here to the American Associationlfor
the Advancement of Science by Drs. n M.
Stecher and A. H. Hersh of Western Re$rve
University
There is no claim that the diseaseI per
Sc. is inherited. Its startling increase dFing
the last two decades has been attributd to
various causes such as the increasing Stesses
of modern living and the fact that more
persons now are living to the heart dsease
age.
But With nearly all cases of anginj pee
torls, coronary occlusion and the likt there
is found an underlying condition kntNn as
hypercholesterolemia,a a failure in the hetab-
ollsm OF choleSterol, one of the esential
body chemicals. A person with thi! defect
would be more likely to develop tie fatal
heart condition. although this wdld not
necessarily follow. But cases OF pronary
occlusion without observation-disclosures
would be very rare.
The problem becomes extremely compli-
Gated because any number of causS tempo

ever, that the deficiency ran in tmllies in
the expected ratio for hereditaB disease.
This leads to the possible Interpretation
that the great increase in heart 9aths may
be due in part to gene, or combination Of
these units of heredity. which hal made its
appearance among the American people.
Increased stresses of living may h essential
for its manifestation, but are nd in them
selves responsible for it.
A hitherto unknown essential In the diet.
necessary for the proper furttionlng Of
the liver, has been reported to tie American
Association for the Advancement OF Science
here by Dr. w. w. Westerfeld of the Uni
versity of Syracuse.
1t is contained in liver and il raw cream.
1t was demonstrated in experiments with rats
in the Syracuse laboratories and appar-
emily cannot be identified with any of the
known vitamins. An essential activity of
the liver is the burning of the body chemical
xanthine, closely related to lric acid, &C
cumulation of which causes one form Of
jaundice. This is accomplished by SUBJ
stance normally found in the liver known as
xanthine oxidaSe.
The Syracuse experimenters found that
none Of this was present in the rats at
birth. Apparently they get some of the
essential diet factor from mothers milk
because their livers were found to have about
half the adult level of xanthine oxidase
at the time of weaving. Thereafter, if the
animals are fed a pure protein diet the
increase is extremely slow but it jumps to
normal very rapidly when they are fed raw
cream liver or various animal foods con-
tanning liver.
Presumably the same dietary factor is
necessary in human beings and it may turn
out to be some as yet unidentified vitamin.

The Reuther Prefob Plan

Walter Reuther's sword-into-p -plowShare
plan for converting idle warplane plants
into prefabricated housing factories may
prove to be impracticable on careful study,
but the idea has q two-way appeal. 1t
should interest not only many persons in
desperate need of adequate housing but
those who are seeking ways of preserving
wartime plants in standby status for some
future emergency.
Mr.. Reuther, who is president of the
United Automobile Workers of America
(CIO), told Senate Banking subcom-
mittee that If some of the large plants
which helped to build Americas great air
fleet in World War II could be reopened
for home prefabrication, an estimated
100000 homes could be provided within
the next ten years. He said he would
prefer to have private concerns undertake
the job, perhaps with the aid of Federal
loans. He pointed out that it would be
to the advantage of the Government to
maintain the plants as a defense precau-
ton. The availability of workers In the
area, resulting from continued operation
of the plants, would be an asset Of value
in time of war, he emphasized.
There are difficulties in the way of such
a program that cannot be ignored, of
course. The prefab industry which grew
up rapidly after the war has encountered
many disappointments. The public has
been slow to accept this type of housing.
Building codes in many cities have placed
heavy restrictions on prefabricated devel-
opments Steel and other material short
ages have held back would-be producers
of prefabricated houses. And all these
setbacks have discouraged private capital
from investing in this promising field.
But the public resistance might we'll be
overcome by an intensive educational
campaign. Such campaign might effect
a reasonable liberalization of restrictive
codes. Once the market for such homes
becomes active. private capital probably
would not be long in finding its way into
the new industry. Certainly In these times
of housing shortages throughout the
country, the Reuther plan is deserving of
consideration.
