(Read Matthew 9:27-31.) Aj we continue upon our spiritual pil grimage, with the Light shining and our souls well-nourished, we are M 3 into experiences which summon our growing faith to more and more chal lenging adventures. Over and over, we hear Christ say, "Believe y# t*wt, I am able to do this?” Over and over, we find ourselves answering, "Yea. Lord.” Each time, moreover, we dis cover that our belief has risen to a new level of confidence and under standing. Exercise develops the ca pacity for trust.

These, and all other things, we aak In the name of Christ In whom our trust is stayed. Amen. DOUGHTON OPPOSES NEW TAX ON AUTOS Greensboro. Feb. 27.—Congressman R.
