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.

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.

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.
