ABUNDANT LIFE
CRIPPLED BOY HEALED IN AN INSTANT

A young mother, whose 21z-
year-old son was healed of
deformed knees and legs at our
West Hampstead, Long Island
Crusade in 1858, says she at
tributes the boys healing to her
own faith in Cod.
Il expected God to heal him,
and he was healed" she says.
81 had prayed constantly for
his healing and / had strong
faith. In fact, was so sure he
would be healed in answer to
prayer that l bought him a new
pair of shoes, although he could
not walk!
God healed him because l
refused to give up hope. Now
he is a normal boy and runs and
plays like other children. / give
thanks to God every day for
healing Billyl"
The mother said the boy was
born with defective knees and
had to be carried everywhere,
including trips to the clinic
where he had been undergoing
treatments.
THE doctors wanted to per-
form an experimental operation
on his legs but couldn't promise
me anything. They said even
with the operation, ] would
have to buy Billy special shoes
and braces # l ever expected

perin,"3i3' operation.

the wrong questions their
ways of life.
The young lawyer who en-
countered Jesus with the ques-
ton: What shall I do to in
herit eternal life?" had an un-
forgettable and a regrettable
experience and revelation. This
young inquisitor knew the
right answer for he was not
Ignorant, but wanted an easier
way like many of US confront
ed with ONE unavoidable duty
or burden, he was looking for
a short cut, some way If pos
sible, to grow roses without
thorns. Jesus answer to him
was a distinct blow to his
ego when He answered by ask
ing a question: what is writ
ten in the law" When the
lawyer answered by quoting the
great commandment Jesus said,
''This do and you will live
If the lawyer had been in ear
nest about the right answer to
his question, he found out
there that there is no short
cut, that the requirement is to
love God and ones neighbor
without any reservations. He
realized that this would cost
him a great deal, including his
prejudices, his resentments.
his indictiveness, his aggres-
sive domination of others, his
gossiping and character ass
slnation in short. all the
conscious and unconscious
forms of hate to which life is
subject. Once he paid the price
Of cleansing his soul from
hate, and motivated his life with
unsordid, unselfish, unhamper-
ed love to God and to others,
he would have the more a.
bundant life he sought.
Just as people long ago were
driven by the hunger of their
souls to ask questions of Jesus,
some of them wrong, mislead-
ing and insincere, some of
them clumsy, inept and beside
the point, SO it is with us. He
gave the right answers to
their wrong questions then and

The Foreign Minister then re-
ferred to the resolution adopted
at the Monrovia Conference re-
garding South West Africa, which
among other things, appealed to
the United Nations to fix a date
for the territories independence.
His delegation hoped all possibili-
ties for a Just solution of this
problem would be explored.
Regarding the proposed French
nuclear tests in the Sahara. Mr..
Ako-Adjei read out of the text of
his Governments appeal to French
Government to abandon the tests
which, he said, would endanger
the lives of all human beings in
the Sahara region and in Africa
generally"
He hoped that, in the name Of
humanity France would listen
to this appeal and give up it's
plans for the tests. Ghana was a.
gainst nuclear tests by any pow
er anywhere, he went on, Ghana
hoped that the nuclear powers
would stop making nuclear wea-
pons and would destroy those
they had.
On the general question of dis
armament, his delegation, he said
saw no need for the accumila-
ton of large stocks of armaments
or for the maintenance of large
defense forces by any state.
Believing that fear and SUI
spicion were the real basis of in
ternational conflict and misunder-
standing, Ghana hoped all nations
would make every effort toward
disarmament and the General AS
Sembly would examine in a Seri-
GUS and constructive way the pro-
posals before it on the subject.
In the light of the Foreign
Minister'S liberal references to con-
serted action by the Independent
African States by resolutions,
meetings Of heads of governments
and related conferences, his
statement appears to indicate the
position" of the Independent Afri-
can States generally, and more
particularly those south of the
Sahara.
France is one of the remaining
AZ countries yet to present their
policy statement and Frances
policy on many of the questions
referred to by Mr.. Ako-Adjei is
rather eagerly awaited in some
quarters. However, French policy

ed to point out that the people
of Africa have been victims of
aggression by the colonial powers
for many years, and the the
majority were still under foreign
rule against their will. Ghana
would continue its encouragement
and support of the nationalists
movement in Africa, with the aim
that one day the entire continent
will be free.
The Foreign Minister then
turned to the problem of Algeria,
where he said a relentless war"
was raging, the only shooting
war in the world today. Algeria
is part of Africa, and the AL
gerian question was therefore es-
ESSENTIALLY an African question, to
be put within the context of the
struggle of the African peoples
for freedom from foreign rule,
he said. Algeria was not part of
Europe, and so could not be part
of France.
Turning to the statement made
last week by General deGaulle,
Mr.. Ako-Adjei asserted that it
failed to face in a courageous
manner the political realities of
the present Algerian situation If
there is to be a cease fire and
peace in Algeria, he said, the
leaders of France had to negotiate
with the leaders of the National
Liberation Front in Algeria, which
controlled the nationalist army.
This is fact-a political reality
which the government of
France cannot conveniently ig-
more"
Further he quoted from the
resolution adopted by the indie
pendent African States meeting
in Monrovia in August of this
year, regarding Algeria. That
resolution, among other things
urged France to recognize the
right of the Algerian people to
self determination and indepen-
dence, to put an end to the hos
tilities and withdraw their troops
from Algeria, and to enter into
negotiations with the PROVISIONAL
Government of the Algerian Re
public. He said, "Ghana was pre-
pared to cooperate in any con-
structive effort to help bring the
parties together and ensure
peaceful solution along those
lines. However, Ghana would new
er associate itself with any plan
intended ultimately to divide any
African country into two parts, as
has been done in Germany, in
Korea and in Vietnam."

The question mark under
scores the life of the man who
is always upsetting the status
quo, challenging the traditions,
making men rethink their prin-
ciples of truth, goading them
with disturbing questions and
insisting on new answers to old
questions. People long ago ask
ed questions of Jesus, some of
them wrong, misleading, insin-
cere, but they were driven to
ask by the hunger of their
souls.
Jesus impact on life might
be measured, in one sense, by
the question mark because He
had the capacity to make men
ask question, to irritate men
by His answers as we'll as His
own questions. He also lived
that ever since He began His
ministry 1000 years ago men
have been disturbed, challenged
changed and renewed by the
purity and goodness of His
Life, as much as by the insight
and nobility of His teachings.
To the meek and loWly in heart
He was the Divine Comforter,
but to those who were ruled by
pride and self-righteousness, to
the Pharlsees and the Scribes,
the chief priests and rulers
of the Sanhedrin, He was the
great Disturber.
One reason for this was the
habit of men IN Jesus day to
major in minors This was
evident from the way they
reacted to Jesus by asking the
wrong questions and by being
unwilling to accept the right
answers. Invariably Jesus met
their smugness and evasiveness
by answers that penetrated to
the center of life great riddles
or by raising other questions
that called attention to major
truths and insisted on the view
of "first things first" 1t got
to be SO difficult to get the
strait jacket of their small
minds on Jesus that after a
while mo man dared to ask
Him any questions" All of
them wanted wrong answers to

MODERN
MANNERS
The Lack of Common Courtesy
Shown by Guests Is Appalling
By CAROLYN HAeNER SHAW

With the holiday season
getting in full swing $50
cially that Isl it seems to me
that it is high time to take
stock of our actions when we
assume the role Of guests at
parties. The following are a
few hints that frankly are
not very gentle!
The lack of Just plain
common courtesy and
thoughtfulness for others
that is exhibited by all too
many guests is appalling.
Why do so many feel that,
as guests, they can go all
out in the bad manners de-
partment?
For example: Why WILL
people stop and chat at
length in the very middle OF
a doorway through which
others must pass to reach
the receiving line? These
same people, after finally
passing through the line,
will invariably congregate at
the end Of it to greet other
friends. This forms a bridge
head which forces new ar
rivals to walk around them.
Speaking of receiving
lines, it is we'll to remember
that there is no point in
having one unless those re-
ceiving, and those arriving
are made known to each
other. The arriving guests
should give their names as
merely Mrs. Doe" or Mr..
Dow"-the first names
should never be given.
This procedure should be
followed even If you know
your hosts fairly well. Its
very easy for a hostess to
forget the name Of an &C
uuaintance whom she has
invited. Be kind. Give your
name clearly so that she can
pass you on to the next in
line without being embar-
raSSed.
Now for a don't! Never
stop to chat when going
through a receiving line.
Save the lengthy effuSions
until later.
The careless smoker is a
hazard that every hostess has
to face. If she is clever, she
has provided large, obvious,
glass ashtrays on every table
sideboard and mantle piece.
Even if these precautions
are taken, there are guests
who calmly flip ashes hither
and yon, snuff out cigarettes
on the rug or leave them
burning on the edges Of
tables. They don't do this in
their own homes. Why do
they have the special privi-
lege to do it in the homes OF
others?
Now for our buffet man
ners! All too often rather
deplorable. I'm afraid. At a
recent party l attended the
buffet was lavish and deli
cious, but I couldn't help
wondering if most of the
guests weren't near starva-
ton. They showed and pushed
to get to the table and piled
their plates with food.
Then, instead Of moving
away, giving others a chance.
they stood right by the buffet
table while eating. thereby
blocking the way for others
to approach. If there is a
separate table from which
LIQUID refreshments are being
served, the crush is beyond
belief. Simply because peo-
pie won't move and give the
other fellow a chance!
And how do hostesses take
it all? They are charmingly
polite, but I often am in a
quandry about what they
privately think of the rude
ness and destructive acts
taking place in their homes.
Passing thought: How do
these same hosteSseS act

know they won't receive them

know what to do.-Miss

Answer-It is much more
thoughtful. and kinder, to
send a New Years card and
write there on a little note of
appreciation for their thought
of you. This takes the sting
out of the obvious fact that
you forgot them in the first

have been approved in the past
by the district but disapproved

Mr.. Davis asked the delegates

stead of having the program

replied to Mr.. Ewald: "As long
as the school board doesn't do
anything about it. it is no bust
ness of ours. I'm not going to
stick my nose in somebody else's
business"
Mayor Leroy S. Bendheim said
he favors a compulsory school
attendance law and would vote
for it if allowed the opportunity.
Mr.. Ewald called the school
board "bull-headed" and &C.
cused it of "ducking and hiding
around the corner" regarding
compulsory attendance.
II know what their objection
is. But it is not what you
would like, but your duty that
matters" he said in an APP
parent reference to the de-
segregation issue.
"All of us here at this table
were elected by all the people
white and colored."
Councilman j. S. Everly said
he had consulted the school
board concerning the number
of truant children.
$50 far as the board is con-
cerned, they are so few that
they don't consider it i'm
portant," he said.
Mr.. Ewald replied that one
truant child is one too many.
Maybe we need an elected
school board" he said.
Calls Site Needless
Mayor Bendheim said re-
gardless of the attendance
controversy, he thinks it is un-
necessary for the school board
to buy a site. The new high
school can be constructed on
a city-owned 17-acre tract ad-
jacent to the Macarthur Ele-
mentary School, he said.
In July one school board
member, Mrs. Dan Kerbel. pro-
posed adoption of a compulsory
attendance law. Her motion
failed to receive a second.

Site Request Weighed
Mr.. Ewald's declaration, which
provoked immediate argument.
came as the council considered
a School Board request for a
conference concerning acquisi-
ton of a site for a new high
school.
In Virginia. a local governing
body can enact a truancy law
only if the school board so rec
ommends. The former State
compulsory attendance law was
repealed as an anti-integration
move.
The Alexandria School Board
is the only one in nearby Vir-
ginia which has failed to rec
ommend a local attendance law
