MI f j With great expectations, a new mother-to-be prepares for the arrival of her precious little one. Seeking early prenatal care is very important. Many studies have shown that women who see their physician early have fewer complications of pregnancy. Prenatal care consists of the following: 1) a complete history, 2) a complete physical examination, 3) the necessary tests to monitor the welfare of the fetus, and 4) regular office visits to the physician to coordinate your care. During the history, the physician learns what the potential problems might be, such as a history of twins, premature labor or poor growth of the prior fetus. The physical examination may show a heart murmur, a vaginal infection or that the uterus is not as large as the dates indicate. The tests which would be performed may Indicate early diabetes mellitus or confirm an infection of the urinary tract. An ultrasound is used to document the correct date for delivery, Dr. James R.

A Pap Smear is also done and a screen for hepatitis is performed. During the regular prenatal visits, the physician can watch for excessive weight gain, elevation of the blood pressure, and loss of protein in the urine. Poor fetal growth and blood sugar levels can also be monitored. As these problems are encountered, the physician can evaluate each problem and start appropriate treatment. Often it take 30 minutes of the physicians time to coordinate all the information gathered from the exam and to talk to the patient and make plans for the delivery. Many times the patient has questions about the delivery such as whether or not they can still breast feed after having an epidural block. Time should be taken by the physician to answer questions and make the patient feel comfortable about the upcoming delivery. If you are pregnant, see your physician as soon as possible to begin your prenatal care. ui. ohvio ouio jj . . .. . : 3 Shane Oaks Oaks called to serve mission Shane K.

SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS XXV by Evangelist Samuel A. Matthews Vernal church of Christ Dear Bro. Matthews, Why did Jesus say He was sent only to Israel (Matt 15:24) and told the apostles they were not to go to the Gentiles (Matt 10:5)? Yet later He told the apostles to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every one in every nation (Matt 28:19; Mark 16:15)? These commands of Jesus are commonly referred to as the "limited" and "great commissions" respectively. Jesus was born a Jew, and He lived His life on this earth under the old covenant (Law of Moses), which God gave to Israel (Ex 20; Deut 5). His disciples were also Jews, and were obligated under the same law. Part of their law prohibited "mixing" with the nations (Gentiles) around them: "Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them: neither shalt thou make marriages with them" (Deut 7:2-3). Therefore, as a Jew, the mission of Jesus on earth was "to the lost sheep of the house of Israel" (Matt 15:24). The disciples of Jesus were under the same law, so He told them: "Go not into the way of the GcntiIes...But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel" (Malt 10:5-6). That commission was limited to the "house of Israel." When Jesus died on the cross, the old law was removed to make room for the new covenant or New Testament (Hcb 7:12; 9:15- 17). Concerning the old covenant, Paul wrote, "(He) look it out of the way, nailing it to his cross" (Col 2:14). One purpose of the death of Christ on the cross was to break down the barrier that separated Jews and Gentiles: "For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down and Searle placed first in the preliminary prelim-inary round and third jn the championship champi-onship round. Reynolds and Brandon Gross won second place in the championship round and Stephanie Gross and Bethany Brown placed third. The High Uinta Diamonds also qualified for the U.S. Western Nationals, but were unable to attend. at-tend. Students and instructors from the High Uinta Dance Studio have also recently attended Summer Camp USA, a three day dance workshop held at Snowbird Ski Resort, and the BYU Cougar Clogging Classic at Brigham Young University. The High Uinta Cloggers are directed di-rected by Lydia Anders and Carol Judd with instructors Annette Daggett and Cathy Meek. Some of the interesting stamps that will be available in the next few months include ones commemorating commem-orating minerals, World War II and wild animals. Available with the World War II stamps, which will be available August 18, will be a hardbound hard-bound book about that war. the middle wall of partition between us; having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law or commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; and that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby" (Eph 2:14-16). With the barrier (the old law) that separated them removed, both Jew and Gentile have access to God in the "same body" (Eph 3:6), which is the one body (or church) of Christ (Eph 4:4; 1:22-23; Matt 16:18). Therefore, after His death and resurrection, Jesus gave the "great commission" by telling the apostles: "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that bclicvcth and is baptized shall be saved. ..Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them..." (Mark 16:15-16; Matt 28: 19). Because the old law was removed when Christ died, the apostles were no longer "limited" or restricted to going only to the nation of Israel. However, the Jews still considered the Gentiles as "unclean," so God showed Peter a vision, and then directed him to go preach to the Gentiles (Acts 10:9-20). Peter told them, "God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean...of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons" (Acts 10:28,34). Thus, the "great commission" makes salvation available to all people, in every part of the world, for all time. Please, search the Scriptures and see whether these things are so (Acts 17:11).
