Leuoo for July 16, lMft
'T'HE names of Christ's Twelve
1 Apostles are given several
times in the New Testament, but
never twice quite the same list.
There is one name, among others,
which turns up on all the lists,
namely Matthew.
The first time we
hear of this man
la in an incident
which is told by
Luke Just as it is
in the gospel by
Matthew, with one
interesting differ-
ence; Luke says
the man's name
Dr. Foreman was Levi Hils
curious difference of name R»«
been explained in different ways,
but the simplest explanation is
the traditional one: Levi was thee
man’s name in his earlier days,
but Matthew wee hia name after
he became a member of Jesus’ In-
ner circle, the “Twelve.” If thl« is
the case (as we shall uiumc It
is) then the change of name may
suggest a total change in the man
himself. Knowing Jesn< made
such a difference in his : te th»t
his old name no longer vv. lid do;
he had to have a new name to go
with the new man.
Th« Mm Nebody Lovatf
Nobody loves a buf eaucrat,
though the civilized world has
never been able to get along
without them. They are the people
who run the machinery and do
the paper-work of government. If
you sometimes think your state
or national capital is in a mess,
take out all the bureaucrats and
then see how much worse the
mess is. Back in Levi-Matthew’s
day, 1n the Roman Empire, one
class of bureaucrats were uni-
versally, hated:rm tax-collectors.
Remember Palestine was a con-
quered country, Rome held it
dawn with an- army of occupa-
tion. The tax-collectors were
working for Rome, and so were
hated even more than native
Homans wfere, if possible. They
were not 'only u. ,.c, they
were anally disuoucsi. Them
were no fixed, tax rates; whatever
the collector could take over and.i
above a certain amount, be could
keep for himaeW. Only the chief
collectors got aids; and Lead-'
Matthew was not a chief cofr
lectaa. Hip oflloe was probably
Just a table on tha sand, perhape
by the otty gate. Wherever it was,
anybody carrying anything, or
leading a mole or camel carry-
ing a load, had to stop and par
ap before going on hda way.
Mm Of DmMm
It batftfalwaya been a puzzle:
Why did this man leave his bod-
all at once? He Just stood
ap and walked off, leaving the
table and the money-bag and the
soldier right there by the road.
He did not stop to balance. his
books, he did not write a letter
of resignation, be did not take
time to think. He Just got up and
went with Jesus, when Jesus
•aid “Follow me.” One explana-*
Ron of tills Is that maybe this
man Levi, cm* Matthew, hated his
Job and had hated it for a long
time. But he couldn’t see bow he
could leave It “A man must liva,”
he may have said to himself. But
one day the great moment came.
He didn’t have to live! When
Jesus said. “He that loaeth lifa
tor my sake shall find it,”
Matthew didn't have to wonder
what that meant He lost hia
living, ha found a Ufa, when be
went out with Jesus. That one
decision changed the man,
changed hia Job, changed hia •
name, changed hia life.
Mm Of N* OlstlMtlM v
Matthew la never mentioned In
was not, like Paul and Peter, a
man “of distinction. But when you
look it up, yon find that moat of
the Twelve were also men of no
distinction. Nothing It said in
Acta about more than a few of
them. We can take heart from
thin Jesus deliberately chose a

Sen. Yarborough
Discusses New
Housing Bill
rMy, U. 8. genstor
Ralph W. Yarborough
When this year opened, one out
of every six construction work-
thousands of Texans in the build-
ing trades. Last year, resident-
ial construction was 18 percent
below 1959, despite the growing
i^eed for new home# to house our
growing population.
The last official census disclosed
that one out of every five homes
in Texas, a total of over 630,000
houses in our state, were either
dilapidated or lacked proper plum-
bing facilities.
With 14-milllon Americans liv-
ing In slum-condition homes and
with the nation having a high rate
of unemployment, it was vitally
Important that this Congress take
strong legislative action.
Our first goal is to help put a
decent home within the reach of
all Americazis. Our second objec-
tive is to start a housing program
that would allow men to go back
to work and encourage a proper-
ous construction industry.
Residential construction alone
accounts for 30 percent of the
total private investment annually.
Texas merchants aniiNvther busi-
nessmen know that full employ-
ment and strong home construc-
tion programs usually mean that
their cash registers are ringing.
To meet this nationwide lag in
home construction and building
trades employment, the Congress
passed the most far-reaching
forward-looking housing bill ( in
the last ten years. Time will not
\ permit me to discuss all of its fea-
tures here, but I would like to list
some major points.
First, the new housing bill pro-
vides that homes costing up to
$15,000 each can be ^purchased
under the FHA mortgage insur-
ance with only a 3 percent down
payment and that down payment
will include the closing costs. You
ers was unemployed, Including remember If you go to buy a

home and you pay a certain per-
cent and then the closing costs
come along — hundreds of dollars
fqr the abstract- and the opinion,
the Insurance, the taxes and the
other things. Now this 3 percent
that you pay down under FHA
mortage under this new housing
bill that we’ve passed will include
all of these closing costs. in
addition, the loan period is extend-
ed to 35 years, and in some cases
up to 40 years.
One of tl^e most important and
badly needed programs contained
in this bill is the $125-million fund
for direct loans for building hous-
ing for elderly citizens. Sixteen
million ,Americans, including 700,-
000 Texans, are 65 yeais of -age or
older. Four-fifths pf all those in
this age group who live alone have
incomes of less than $2,000 a
year. ThiB fund to build housing
for the elderly will help church
organizations and other non-profit
groups to construct clean an,p
suitable homes for many aged peo-
ple who find it difficult or Impos-
sible to find such homes at this
time. :
Another important provision is a
$300-milllon annual increase in
college housing loan funds for col-
lege dormitories for each of the
next four years. This has already
to be a sound program that
has helped Texas colleges finance
the construction of many dormi-
tories. This program is being
-greatly expanded to help meet the
enroll in our colleges in the next
logjam of new students who will
few years. And those students
who are needed in our colleges for
the safety of this country. s-*
These are only a few of the
main features of the most impor-
tant housing bill the United States
Congress has passed in more than
ten years.
