BIBLE LESSON Jesus Healed Servant Without Seeing Him By R. H. RAMSEY Though the entire 106 verses of Luke 7 and 8 have been assigned, we must, of necessity, consider but a portion of them in this lessor ~ Luke 7 opens with an account of Jesus' healing of a Roman centurion's servant without see ing the man or even entering the house where-he lay ill. As with other centurions mentioned in the New Testament, this 1m- perial officer seemed favorably inclined toward Jesus and His Gospel. Thus, when he learned Jesus was in Capernaum, he sent the Jewish elders to Jesus to beseech Him to heal his ser- vant who was close to death. When the elders explained to Jesus that this centurion was, unlike many others of the con- querors, well - disposed toward the vs and their religion, Jesus accompanied the elders to the centurion's home. As they neared the house, the centurion stopped Jesus, claim- ing he was unworthy of. the Lord to enter his home, thatall Jesus need do was say the word and the servant would be healed. The centurion was aware that just as other men were under his authority, and he under the authority of those above him, Christ had authority| over the entire universe and even diseases had to do His bid-) ding. Hearing this, Jesus turned to the following crowd and ob- served that nowhere in Israel had He found a man with as much faith as that of the cen- turion. And the seryant was healed. .

The church commissioners -- three eminent Jaymen who han- dle the church's investments -- reported that annual income was up by 6.5 per cent com- pared with 1965. That set total income at £21,200,000 ($63,600,- 000), three times the figure for 1948-49. Such rapid growth was achieved by a bold decision the commissioners took 18 years ago. They sold off fixed interest stocks and bought ordinary shares of industrial corporations with the proceeds. By the fol- lowing March they had about $15,000,000 so invested. Today /they own ordinary shares val-| money lenders." ued at more than $415,000,000.
