Where Dots Federal Aid
Come From?
At this time psessure group
from all walk of life are demand-
ing aid and subsidies and grat-
uities from congress and are con-
stantly increasing the scope of gov-
ernmental functions
f -
Federal aid can bn!y come from
one source— the people of the Unit-
ed State and the wealth and re-
sources of that nation For examp-
le if the Federal Education bill
known as senate bill 472 is adopted
Kansas will receive an estimatedll
860000 This sounds good but the
truth of the mater is that under the
bill Kansas would provide3741000
for the operation of this bill or a
state loss of $1881000 We would
be much better off to keep that
money at home
The following article from the
Wichita Magazine official public- humgtej last year brought only a
alien of the Wichita Chamber of uttle more than we paid in texes
Commerce brings out the point
very clearly
“The tax committee of the Wich
ita Chamber of Commerce of which
O A Powell is chairman has long
held there is no such thing as fed-
eral aid
“If anybody it let him contem-
lars from the Kansas people it uses

In the beginning the Creator made

snake was created and because it
had to crawl upon its stomach it
was classed the lowest: Since that
time Man has created tho anony-

known by anyone is called Snakey
because he is lower than a snake’s
stomach I don’t think that is being
fair even to a snake

it in many other way
' “In addition the people paid hid-
den taxes where the Government
took the tax at the source thru tar-
iffs and many other ways
This was added to the cost of
living s that Kansas paid a great
deal more than a half billion dol-
lars in direct taxes and hidden tax-
es in 1948
“Kansas is one of the nation’s
great oil states and yet all the
wealth of oil and gas wells and all
the various mines would not pay
that staggering tax
"'“Kansas has more cattle than
any of 46 other states and yet
were all the cattle sold the pro-

SELECTING THE TWELVE
APOSTLES
8090 after Bo befth Bis ministry
Jesus saw very clearly that Hs
J should gather about Him as Bis
close companions a group of men
who should be trained for the work
Be wee doing and who should be
hi to carry on thst work
In Mark’s account the selection
m almost
casual Murk re-
' latee that as Be
was walking
' along thh shore
of the big lake
la Galilee B
saw Simon and
Andrew broth-
er and profee-
tonal fisher-
men and called
them to follow
immediately threw
Him They
down their nets and left their busi-
ness and became the close asso-
ciates and confidants of Jesus The
story in Mark gossan little way
and the same call was made to
James and John the sons of
Zcbedee with tho same result -
These four men were professional
fishermen commercial fishermen
Fishing and selling fish was the
greatest Industry along the sea I
think it la reasonable to conclude
that Zebedee had quite an equip-
ment for the fishing business
boats nets processing yards From
a casual remark - we kqpw that
Zebedee bad hired workmen His
two sons James and John were
evidently engaged in business with
I their father
I At least two of this four had been
yllsciples of John the Baptist per-
haps all four of thfm Jesus Him-
self might well have been classed
as belonging to the movement of
John It seems obvious to me that
in making Bis selections Jesus
chose men He had known for a
long time probably close friends
His own home was not many miles
sway from-Capernaum and it is
not a long stretch of the imagine-
I tln to believe that in the thirty
I years of His life He had made many
I acquaintances ot other young men
Be Hitnselt was a carpenter and
followed His trade and no doubt
He was familiar with the sea and
the eity on its shores and with
' many of the men with whom He
would naturally be thrown In
choosing His close friends to help
in HU life work It is natural to
suppose He selected men He knew
men who were ' HU friends and
upon whom He could depend- I
think that Jesus knew well every
member of the twelve and that
they had been His friends for long
j time
In bis account of the selection of
the twelve Luke says: “And It came
to pass in those days that He went
ou' into the mountain to pray: and
He continued all night in prayer to
God and when it was day He
called HU dUclples and He chose
them twelve whom also He
ied apostle ’
Then Luke UiU the twelve as
follows: Simon and Andrew and
James and John and Philip and
Bartholomew and Matthew and
Thomas and Jamei th con of
Alpheui and Simon who was called
th Zealot and Judas th son of
Jamet and Juda Iscariot Thera
Were two named James and Luke
therefor Identifies tha second
James named There were two
nam$dt Simon add Luke caQs th
second “Simon th Zealot The
ZealoU were a group of young men
banded together becaue of the
hate of their Roman rulere in an
oath to fight to the death for free-
dom at any and every opportunity
Matthew calls this second James
Libbaeus end Mark names him
Thaddeu In his volume entitled
"Th March of Eleven Men"
Frank S Mead sayi that all of the
twelve except John were martyred
foe their faith
Peter and Andrew and Jamea end
John are th once of th twelve w
know most about Peter wee
natural leader a big Impulsive
reedjr man rjady tor a fight or a
frolie John was tea youngest of
th twelve and was “Tha Apostle
Jaaus Loved That did not mean
that He did not love them all but
that John wet probably the closest
friend In I th group After the
crucifixion John and Peter teamed
together They fitted in very finely
for th work they were doing I
think Thomas U my favorite He
was so human and If w war
designating blm bow wa would lay
