BENEFITS OF FASTING


Bible fasting is a subject much
abused, neglected and little un-
derstood. A thorough study of
this subject would pay every
reader of the Bible. Some have
placed too high value on fast
ing exalting it far above all
reason and Scripture. Others
have undervalued it as much
saying there is little or no value
in it. The truth is between these
two extremes. It has no magic
to work miracles in itself but
when used according to Gods
directions it brings a blessing
that cannot be obtained in any
other way. It is not an end in
itself but means to an end. 1t
helps us obtain that faith with
out which it is impossible to
please God. When the disciples
could not cast the evil spirits
out of a certain young man
Jesus said it was because of their
lack of faith and added, this kind
goeth not out except by fasting
and prayer.
Let,us notice some of the bene-
fits of this unpopular means of
grace.
l. Fasting is good for the soul.
1t enables the soul to rise. above
the desires of the flesh. 1t streng-
thens our prayer life and helps
to increase our faith. 1t is during
these times of fasting and
abstinence that the soul is lifted
up above the sensual and earthly
into a heavenly atmosphere.
2. Fasting is good for the mind.
Most minds are sluggish and in
active through overeating. Most
mental workers find that the
mind becomes keen and strong
during times of abstinence.
Public speakers, singers, and
actors eat lightly before work.
3. Fasting is good for the body.
The stomach needs rest as we'll
as other parts of the body. Most
people abuse their digestive
organs by continual overeating
Fasting is not starving as some
people suppose but is doing with
out food when the body cannot
digest and assimilate food prop
erly Addison said, abstinence,
we'll timed often kill sickness in
embryo and destroys the seed
of the disease" Benjamin Frank
lin said, Against disease known
the strongest fence is the defen-
sive virtue abstinence" Many
modern physicians are beginning
to see the benefits of fasting as a
means of curing disease. Bernarr
McFadden has helped many pa
tients by means of the partial
fast.
The early church saw the bene-
fits of fasting and practiced it
university. An ancient writer,
Epiphanius says, who does not
know that the fasts of the fourth
and sixth days "Wednesday and
Friday) are observed by Chris
tians throughout the known
world!" In his sermon on the
"Inefficacy of Christianity"
(volume two, number 1900 John
Wesley says, that when he was
at Oxford the early Methodist
tasted every Wednesday and
Friday in imitation of the early
church unless in case of sickness.
He also says in the same sermon
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1952-08-14

/ that those who never fast are no
more in the way to heaven than
those who never pray.
Some Bible references to fast
ing and its benefits may prove
helpful.
Joshua and the elders of Israel
sought and obtained help from
the Lord by fasting and prayer
after their first defeat at All in
the conquest of Caanan. Joshua
TO.
Samuel and the children of
Israel tasted and prayed before
the Lord at Mizpeh when they
were threatened by the army of
the Philistines. The Philistines
suffered a signal defeat. Samuel
7:6.
A remarkable case of the value
of fasting is found in that very
wicked King Ahab. We are told
that there was none like him
which did sell himself to work
evil in the sight of the Lord
whose wife Jezebel stirred him
up. Yet because he humbled him
self before the prophet Elijah
and the Lord and lay in sack
cloth and went softly the Lord
delayed the judgment which he
had pronounced upon him to the
days of his sons.
Not only among Gods people
did fasting prove a blessing but
also among the heather. When
Jonah preached repentance to
the people of Nineveh, we are
told that both king and people
humbled themselves in sackcloth
and ashes with fasting and true
repentance. And God saw their
works, that they turned from
their evil way; and God repented
of the evil that he had said he
would do unto them; and he did
it not. Jonah 2:5-10.
Through prayer and fasting
and confession of sin Nehemiah
found favor with God and the
king Artaxerxes of Babylon to
permit the Jews to return to
Jerusalem and rebuild the temple
and the city. Nehemiah Ia.
With fasting and prayer and
the laying on of hands the early
church at Antioch sent out the
first missionaries.
The Jews of both the old and
new Testament abused this
means of grace because their
motive was selfish. Jesus said
the Pharisees lost their reward
because they wanted to be seen
of men. Isaiah mentions the re-
mark-blessings of the true fast
in his book in Chapter So. Health,
happiness, and prosperity are the
results.
Let us not lose Gods blessing
through this means because 9TH
ers have abused it but let lis use
it in the right way and we are
sure to benefit.
When you fast, do not look dis
NAL like the hypocrites, for they
disfigure their faces that their
fasting may be seen by men.
Truly, I say to you, they have
their reward But when you fast
anoint your head and wash your
face, that your fasting may not
be seen by men but by your
father who is in secret; and your
father who sees in secret will re-
ward you. RS.V. Matthew GIG.

4 O'Clock Brush-Burning Law
Remains in Force to. Nav 10

Farmers are reminded the Vir-
ginia 4-o'clock brush burning law
became operative yesterday and
remains in force until May Is.
So-if you have to burn trash
wait until after 4 o'clock on the
Iafternoon of a day when there is
no wind; wait until the danger
period is over: or better still, don't
burn it at all. There are few
farms, Extension Service special
lists say, where there are neither
gals nor gulhes. Using trash to
mulch gall or stop a gully. will
not only do away with all danger
of fire, but will help return waste
land to usefulness.
The 4-o'clock law applies to
burning anything within 800 feet
of woodland, or of anything capa-

Life in the Country
Few Flowers and q Lot of Work
Testify That Spring Is Approaching

I would like to write about
flowers this week. but the only
blooms that I have been able to
find about The 40 Acres are one
or two Snowdrops and a brave
dafodil that has thrust herself
up from among her sisters and
is showing a touch of yellow
color.
The rest of the place is drab
and wintery, and if it wasn't for
something that is in the air,
spring might be ages of.
There is some sixth sense, I
suppose it might be called. that
tells us to be getting ready for
the spring rush. It came to me
last week. and my muscles are
aching as a result.
Without any urging whatso-
ever. I got out and began getting
the garden ready. I Shoveled and
shoveled, hauled and hauled and
pitched and pitched, and if I can
keep going at this rate, we will
have as rich garden as you will
find.
I've had f1rSt-hand experience
of the values of stable manure in
gardening. About three years ago
we moved our vegetable garden
over to a new place that was
grown up in briarS and broom
sedge. The ground was SO poor
that it wouldn't even support a
healthy clump of broom sedge,
and that is saying a lot.
The drainage was poor, too. It
would take days after a rain for
the soil to get in condition to be
worked. AS you might guess, we
had yields that were far from
good.
The next year we began spread
ing, and we put it on thick. That
year the garden improved, and by
the next year, after another heavy
coating, it was hard to believe the
change that had taken place ir
the soil.
So this, you see, is the advan-
tage to the gardener of having 6
stable handy. For there is nothing
like a good COW around to keep 9
garden growing.

Introduction GaFden

One of the thoughts that rar
through my mind when I first
considered a note on the So-calleC
rare, woody shrubs for the Wash
ington garden, is the fact that
rarity should really be translated
into terms of familiarity and
availability. This is often the case
since a number Of the woody
plants that we like to think of as
rare are actually grown in many
local gardens. It is mostly a mat
ter of becoming better acquainted
with the more desirable species
and then seriously seeking a nur-
Sery source.
The characters that one uses to
determine good woody shrub are
several but from the standpoint Of
seasonal interest, those that have
more than one season Of attrac-
tiveneSs are worthy additions to
any garden. Such features as
ornamental fruit, summer or au-
tumn foliage coloration, evergreen
leaves and even handsome bark
can be additional sources of pleas
ure to the gardener.
With this in mind, let us con-
slider a few of the shrubs that are
less frequently found in gardens
or are most difficult to find in
nurseries.
Berberis julianae-The winter
green barberry, is a dense, ever
green barberry chiefly valued for
its foliage. but the golden bell-like
flowers and blue fruits combine to
create additional interest.
ChionanthuS virginicus - The
fringetree. is one of our best native
shrubs or small trees with fringe
like white flowers in magnificent
profusion. The fall foliage is
bright yellow and the fruits are
blue. A large shrub, it requires
plenty of room and a sunny loca-
tion is desirable, although it does
very well in partial shade.
CyrilIa racemif1Ora-The leath-
erwood, one of our little-known
native shrubs produces interest
ing racemes Of small white flowers
in June. In the fall, the racemes
turn yellow with tiny round seed
pods and the foliage is a combina-
tion of orange, scarlet and green.
Like the Fringtree, the Leather
wood requires plenty of room. It
does well both in a sunny or par
tally shaded location.
Hamamelis mOllis-Unquestion-
ably the best of the witch-hazel
species and has the largest and
brightest yellow flowers. The late
winter flower display is difficult to
SurpasS and the autumn yellow of
the foliage is excellent. To this
must be added its neat, round

Shrubs for the Area
Woody Plants May Be Valued for Foliage
Or Their Handsome Fruit and CoIorotion

habit that is easily controlled by
pruning.
Hex cOrnuta-The Chinese holly
is ideally suited to the climate OF
the District of Columbia area
Unlike the American holly. male
plants are not necessary to set
fruits. and the bright red berries
will last through the entire winter
BY pruning, the dense habit can
easily be maintained.
Jasminum nudihorum-ClasSe
as a subshrub, serves best as a wal
cover by being planted on top OF
a wall and allowing the long green
stems to cascade over. In Feb
ruary, the stems will be covered
with large, solitary, yellow flowers
that are easily forced indoors.
Osmanthus IIicifolius-A holly
like evergreen that is suitable
both as hedge or as specimen
plant. The white clusters of fra
grant flowers in early summer
confuse people regarding this
holly" but it can easily be dis
Itinguished by the opposite leaves
while all holly species have an
alternate leaf arrangement. OF
interest is the variation from en-
tire leaves to those very much
Spined on the same plant.
Pieris japOnica-One Of the most
useful of the broadleaved ever
greens in foundation paintings.
The nodding, plump heads Of
small white flowers, combined
with the bronze young foliage plus
it's limited height, make it es-
|pecially suitable for the low-mod-
|ern house.
Styrax japonica-More Of a
small tree than a shrub. The chief
interest is the pendant, bell-Shap-
ed flowers that do not appear un-
til after the foliage. Since the
leaves are borne on the upper
side Of the branches, the flowers
hang down in clear view and ap-
pear exceptionally white against
the green background. In the win
ter, the bark is a mosaic of orange,
gray and brown.
Sympl0cOs paniculata-Prized
mostly for its azure berries. Al
though it has dense clusters of
fragrant, white flowers in May,
these disappear rapidly. To those
looking for ornamental fruit, there
is none that equal this shrub for
blue fruit.
Viburnum macrOephaIum var.
steriIe-The Chinese SNOWFALL,
largest Of the SNOWFALL Viburn-
umS with handsome, globular
white flower heads 6 to 8 inches.
It is a quick grower and does not
require continual attention. The
fall foliage is not equal to that of
some Of the other species but its
Towering is so outstanding that it
would be an asset to any garden.

Harmful RoIIino

Many folks use heavy rollers
to flatten high places in the lawn.
This may not be damaging In
sandy or light soils but loan and
clay soils are harmed by such
practice. Unless the soil is quite
dry the rolling will do harm by
pudding and compacting the soil.
Never roll when the soil is so wet
you leave footprints and water
oozeS into them.

activities of the season scheduled
virtually every day through until
New Years.
Amid the restored scenes OF
George Washington's day, most
of the colorful traditions of an 18th
century Christmas season are an
nually revived by the townspeople
and visitors. Yule log ceremonies
caroling through the street. spe-
cial church services and pageants
candlelight concerts, square
dances, special Christmas decora-
tionS and other events of the sea-
son reflect the holiday spirit oi
two centuries ago with the added
color of occasional costumed par
Elephants.
On Monday, December %, the
Christmas decorations go up or
the historic buildings of the city
following the customs of the
1700s. The firing of the Christmas
guns in front of the old arsena,
signals the city to light up fol
the holidays with candles at each
window.

month when Pan American World
Always started tourist flights be-
tween California and Hawaii. 1t
is now possible to make the round
trip between the islands and San
Francisco or Los Angeles for 1925,

The tourist-plane service went
into effect even before the excur-
sion fare of $24O. plus tax, ex-

Pan-Am tourist flights are on
the same Boeing Stratoclippers
that are used on the regular fare
runs. Departures are at night,
for morning arrivals, three times
a week. The tourist planes leave
San Francisco for Honolulu on
Tuesdays and Saturdays, and Los
Angeles on Thursdays.
