Urns'” TION RATES: ' on® Y< : $1.00 Bts Months .75 Three Months.50 Six Inch Sermon BY REV. ROBERT R. HARPER Jesus the Great Physician. F^esson for January 24: John 5: 2-17. Golden Text: John 5:6. In the preceding lesson we thought of Jesus winning souls in cases where no ills of the body were present. Today we think of him saving souls through saving the bodies of men, in healing them, gaining their confidence and love, and then leading them to the cure of soul. Beyond the relief of the manifold distresses of men and the improvement of conditions, we have the blessed work of helping Jesus, through deeds of mercy, to heal wounded souls. As Jesus moved among the sick beside the pool of Bethesda, each hoping to get down into the water for healing, he found a poor fellow whose desperate condition prevented his getting into the pool but was lying there day af ter day, somehow hoping that in some way he might get into the pool. And Jesus said unto him “Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.” In what bitter contrast with he iracious work of Jcjus was the condemnation of his critic because he profaned the Sabbath by healing. When they first questioned the healed man, he did not reveal who had healed him. Afterward, when he sav Jesus again and learned who he was, he “told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made hiir whole.” Sometimes in this day, in the midst of alien circumstances we need a fearless witness to the things we have seen and heard. The only answer Jesus made his critics (verse 17) indicated that he claimed oneness with God and would not be deterred by earthly opposition. And may we be con fident in all we do in Christ’s name because we believe we are in a blessed league with God. Temperance Rally In Columbia Jan. 26th WANT ADV.

N. x Personal Exemption Every individual is allowed a credit against his net income which varies with his domestic status, that is, whether he is (a) a single person, (b) a married per son living with husband or wife, or (c) a head of family. This credit is known as personal exemption, and is shown on line 21 of the return Form 1040. The Amount of the personal exemption also varies depending upon the period during which the taxpayer occupied the particular exemption status. The personal exemption 'for a single person is $500 for the year; fcr a married person living with husband or wife, $1200; and for a “head of family,” $1200. (Per sonal exemption as head of a family has no effect on liability to file a return.) For Federal in come tax purposes, widows, wid owers, divorcees, and married per sons separated by mutual con sent, as well as persons who have never been married, are classed as single persons. A head of family is defined as “an individual who actually sup ports and maintains in one house hold one or more individuals who are closely connected with him by blood relationship, relationship by marriage or by adoption, and whose right to exercise familj' control and provide for those de pendent individuals is based upon some moral or legal obligation.” A single person, or a married person not living with husband or wife, may, therefore, enjoy a head of family exemption under certain conditions.

C. gross income for the year is $3,000 or less and derived solely from earnings from employment and | or from dividends, interest and . an nuities) obtain personal exemption based on their status as of July 1 of the year. Thus, a taxpayer married and living with husband or wife on Juy 1 is entitled to $1200 personal exemption on Form 1040A; if he were a widower on July 1, his exemption would be $500. irrespective of the date on which he became a widower. The amount of the exemption is not deductible from the income but is reflected in the amount of tax shown in the table on the reverse side of the form. Taxpayers using return Form 1040 obtain personal exemption proportionate with the number of months during which the partic ular status is held. Thus, for a person who married on July 1. (who was not a head of family prior to his marriage) the per sonal exemption would be $850 ($250 for the six months as a single man, plus $600 for the six months as a married man). In this example it is assumed that the wife has no income. Married persons may, however, file joint returns, even though one has no income, and by filing a joint return a couple married during the year may obtain an exemption amounting to the exemption to which they would be entitled for the period of married status, plus the amount of their individual exemptions prior to their marriage. In the example given the total exemption in a joint return would be $1100 ($250 for each spouse for six months plus $600 for six months married status). If a husband and wife together both have income and file sep arate returns on Form 1040, the personal exemption applicable to a married person may be taken in the return of either or divided be tween them in any way as they may agree, but the total personal exemption taken in two separate returns may not exceed $1200.
