God loves people. He wants to

lie came to touch us with his
lands and heal us, to bless us and
give us his power.
While Jesus was on the earth,
ne got just as close to the people
as he could with his hands, his
voice, his robe.
And one thing he made clear
while he was here was this.
There is no distance in prayer.
Jesus hands laid upon the sick
were powerful to heal. But his
spoken word was just as powerful
as the touch of his hands. He
could heal in person and he could
heal at a distance.
There is one thing, however,
that needs to be made crystal
clear. The miracles and healing
powers of Jesus are not confined
to the time when he was here on
earth in bodily form. His words
and his promises are just as
powerful now as they we're then.
Not long ago, | received a letter
from one OF my partners telling
ne a most unusual story about a
lodern-day leper. Here is a por-
ion of her letter:
LESS than year ago, a young
n.m in leper colony in the
hilippines saw my name in the
ABUNDANT LIFE magazine and
wrote to me. He told me he was
ieper and had been banished to
the Island of Palawan for the rest
Of his life. He asked only for

 Her body, trussed with twine, gagged and blindfolded, was dis covered yesterday by her father in-law when he returned to his home near here where she and her husband lived.
 Sheriff's deputies following footprints in the snow arrested David S. Smith, 20, who lived just up the road from the brutal slay- ing scene. They said he admitted the killing. He is being held for investigation of murder.
 Smith was quoted as saying he had planned for two or three days to criminally assault Mrs Porter.

 The eleven departments pro- posed for the executive branch include Administration, Law, Revenue, Education, Health and Welfare, Labor and Commerce, Local Affairs, Military Affairs, Natural Resources, Public Works and Public Safety.
 There will also be the Board of Regents to administer the Univer- sity of Alaska, Senator McNees reported.

TOKYO, R = Mao Tze-Tunk is stepping down as president of Red China, Peiping confirmed today, but it insisted he is still boss.
 After keeping it secret week, Peiping Radio let China's 500 millions in on the news. The shift was reported last weekend on For mosa, and Warsaw diplomats got confirmation Tuesday.
 Despite Peiping's disclaimer, there was feeling in Hong Kong, Seoul and Nationalist Formosa that Mao is being downgraded by the Communist apparatus and will eventually be stripped of power.
 This opinion is based largely on reports of popular resentment in China over the commune system, which deprives the Chinese of their individuality and puts them t. I've in colemunities where their every action is subject to strict orders from above.
 Today's broadcast gave no clue on Mao's successor.

Bernard Bowmont, unemployed construction worker, was brought in this morning to the hospital suffering from exposure, having started to walk to Teller yester- day.
 Sammy Ahwinona, who had been questioned by Bowmont on how to get to Teller, observed that the man was not properly dressed and reported the matter to the U. S. Marshal, who organ ized a search yesterday by char tering a plane and making an aerial search.
 This morning Capt. O'Rourke of the Alaska National Guard with It. Lloyd Draper, organized a search party on skis of Company A of the 1st Scout Battalion, who quickly set up communications to cover the route to Teller.
 Major Gillespie and Martin Ol- son took to the air this morning with observers and Bob Schick entered the search with the GAIA. weasel.
 A burning building at Specimen Gulch was observed by Martin with his observer, George Bayer. who reported, and the weasel, in vestigating, found Bowmont, well off his course, and brought him to the hospital suffering from exposure.

Ike COnfers With Bridges On COP Senate Tiff

WASHINGTON, R - President Eisenhower held a surprise con- ference with Senator Styles Bridges today in an effort to avoid a disruptive battle over the Senate Republican leadership.
 Bridges, chairman of the Sen- ate COP policy committee, told newsmen afterward. that both he and Eisenhower hope it will be possible to start the new year as a united party.
 A split in Republican Senate ranks has been widening over the candidacy of Senator Everett M. DirkSen of Illinois for COP floor leader.
 Bridges indicated that Eisen- hover took the initiative in ar ranging today's meeting. But the Senator added that the President ''just listened' and feels it is a problem for the Senate itself to resolve.
 Bridges said he already has talked to representatives of the group opposed to Dirksen and that he feels he has offered fair compromise.
 If the differences aren't worked out, he went on, there will be an all-out fight and his side will win because we have the votes"
 The compromise provides, he said, for giving the insurgent group the job of whip, or assist ant minority leader, adequate rep resentation on committees.
 Bridges said again that he is not interested in the minority leaders job for himself.
 Eisenhower feels it would not be fair for him to take sides in the squabble over Dirksen's can- didacy, Bridges said.

 This was entirely a military operation, demonstrating that the Air Force has now developed combat crews to fire missiles.
