Hertford, N. C.
Dear Mrs. Transeau:
Concerned friends have called
us about our son, Steve, who was
wounded in Vietnam on
December 9. They had heard
some very bad reports regarding
Steve's condition which are not
true and we wish to correct the
rumors with the truth.
We want Steve's friends to
know that, while his wounds are
serious, they are not critical; and
at this time, we have every
reason to believe he will recover
completely.
Stephen has been in Vietnam
since August. He has been at
tached to the 173rd Airborne
Brigade which has been engaged
in pacification work in Binh Dinh
Province. He was on a routine
military patrol on December 9
when he was wounded by
fragments from an exploding
booby trap. He received severe
wounds in his legs, left hand,
throat and larynx.
If all continues to progress
satisfactorily, Steve will be
evacuated to a hospital close to
home in two to three weeks.
We are humbly grateful for
God's ever present love and
protection as manifested in the
wonderfully prompt and efficient
care and attention our son has
been given in the field and in the
hospital.
He would be delighted to
receive cards and letters of cheer
from friends which may be ad
dressed to:

Underwater Observation Tower
iiiiiiiiiaii!
By mid-March, when Expo '70 is in full swing near
Osaka, Japan, an underwater observation tower will
be operating in Shirahama, a popular hot-spring re
sort a hundred miles to the south. Visitors will reach
the tower by monorail and then descend into the
observation area to enjoy , a breathtaking view of
myriads of brilliantly-colored fish swimming in their
natural habitat.
The 64-foot tall tower is being erected 300 feet off
shore on a foundation of solid rock. The observation
room about 20 feet below sea level is encircled with
windows. Lights will be placed in the ocean floor to
provide easy viewing, day or night. The entire project
is costing about $350,000.
The Hitachi Shipbuilding . and Engineering Com
pany, builder of the underwater tower, has already
received orders from six other Japanese coastal re
sorts and Singapore. Inquiries have come from Hawaii
and Florida and from as far away as Turkey and Israel.
Credit Becoming
NEW YORK Travel is the
largest single item in world
trade, which itself rose to
$226 billions last year. The U,
S., with its $4.7 billion con
tribution, generated more for
eign travel than any other
country in the world. With the
imminent introduction of com
mercial service of the 400 plus
passenger Boeing 747 and the
Russian SST, among others,
world travelers now stand o:
the threshold of a new aRe i.l
tourism, travel and transpor
tation. Along with this revolution
in the travel industry has
come a parallel development
in the credit card industry.
Today's traveler, especially the
young generation, demands
charge privileges for air tick
ets, car rentals, tours and
cruises, entertainment, food
and lodging.
The extent of credit travel
is now growing at n rate of
ll'o a year, and it is estimated
that this figure will increase
over 100 o within the next ten
years.
What does this proliferation
mean to those people who
make their Irving from tour
ists and business travelers?
Just this: hotels and restaur
ants, for instance, must assess
how important the credit card
customer is to their operation
and they must prepare to
adapt to this world-wide phen
omenon in spending patterns.
CREDIT INCREASES SALES.
American Express, the larg

undertook a survey to deter

card is to its cardmembers.
The survey revealed that

Dear friendt,
Prior to the death of our late President
John F. Kennedy, the American funeral tradi
tion was being questioned. The President's
tragic death suddenly brought home to our
itire nation the sense of bereavement the
need to mourn the nede for lying in state,
for ritual, for procession, as a catharsis for our
grief. The need for the American funeral tra

It really all began a little over 38 decades
ago, when Sir Walter's folks sailed
over to rrtake their homes on Roanoke
Island ...
They didn't make it, but a few decades
later, another group managed to sur
vive at Jamestown. Since that time,
America and the world 1.jb progressed
by leaps and bounds, and we begin a
new and challenging decade in 1970.
Hopefully, this will be our most progressive

U there life on other planets in other galaxies out there?
This is a queition we ask with increasing frequency these dayi.
When God made our world, was it the only one He fashioned?
We may never know. The answer may lie far in the future.
But it is an enticing subject to speculate about.;
Many fascinating subjects are being discussed today in
church. If this surprises you, it only goes to show that you
haven't been attending church lately. To; keep in touch with
this challenging world, start going not only to' regular services
but to tome of the special discussions in your church.

A Habit
; HOW JESUS MET TEMPTATION
International Sunday School Lesson for January 11, 1970
MEMORY SELECTION: "For in that He, Himself, has
suffered being tempted, He is able to succour them that are
tempted." -(Hebrews 3:18)
LESSON TEXT: Matthew 4:1-11; Hebrews 2:14-18; 4:14-16.
Today, as in our Lesson we study the temptation of Christ,
and His strength in resisting, we learn to correlate this event
with the circumstances which, all too often, surround us,
thereby absorbing a pattern upon which we can build our
behavior in like circumstances. t
Jesus' temptation came upon Him in the wilderness,
alone, apart from His friends and any human companionship
which might strengthen His spirit.
How severely was He tempted by Satan! Hungry, cold (for
He had fasted forty days and forty nights) surely no man was
ever in a more receptive mood to the whisperings
of .ease and evil! Yet, to Satan's urging that He
prove His divinity by turning stone into bread, Jesus replied;
"It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every
word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." (Matthew
4:4). Upon being urged to cast Himself off a pinnacle of the
Temple and be saved by God from injury. He answered: fit
is written again, Thouhalt not tempt the Lord thy God
(Matthew 4:7). And, tempted still further, by an offer of glory
and power if He would but fall down and worship the Devil,
Christ was still adamant in His adherance to the Father, and '
all that He stood for. Then, and only then, did Satan admit ,
defeat.
Jesus was sustained by His knowledge of His goal in life;
He was the Son of God; He was the Servant of God, His
mission in life was the redemption and forgveness of
mankind, and their sins. To this He held fast, despite all
temptations hurled at Him.
As a Being that was wholly identified with mankind, Christ
enjoyed freedom of choice. He could make His decision . . .
take what Satan offered, or hold true to God, the Father, and
continue to be cold and hungry, and lonely. Not alone - for
surely God. was with Him in the wilderness of Judea 1 ;
Most assuredly Jesus was subjected to super-human
temptation, if only by virtue of His great power as the Son of '
God. . ' ; i'- 'V',v.
Christ came upon earth to call men to a life dedicated tc
giving . . i not gettlngi But He would not compromise. His
was to be the hard way. There was to be no compromise with
that whichrWas evil and unworthy of spirit. The ends' do not
justify the means - they do, however, often determine the
means. There is no road leading directly to righteousness;
4 there is only the road of righteousness..
Jesus had stored up great spiritual reserves of strength,
and these sustained him in His hours of need - in the
wilderness, in Gethesemane, on Calvary. His identification
with God was complete and inspiring. -
How do we meet temptation in our own lives? True, very
few of us are tempted in the sense that Christ was tempted -with
the power, to make miracles; with power, itself. .
Nevertheless, we meet our own daily temptations, which,
although on a smaller and often more personal scale, are
great temptations to us, spurred by the sense of immediacv ,
our innate weaknesses. The way In whlcli we respond to
them Is, essentially, the measure of ourselves as professed
Christians and the measure by which the world fcs well
as God) judges us in our faith I
