Possibly the most import
ant bill approved .by the
House last week was the
Maritime Authorization for
1971. A few months ago we
reported to you the deplor
x able situation of our merch
ant fleet in that we are no
longer first in the important
aspects of commercial trade
as well as defense. Most of
the present fleet has been in
service for 20 or more years.
So, it is apparent that our
Merchant Marine has to be
rebuilt almost from the
ground up—if we are to meet
our national objectives in na
tional defense and foreign
commerce. In fact, on Oc
tober 23, 1969, President
Nixon sent a message to the
Congress containing these
words:
“The U. S. Merchant Ma
rine—the fleet of commercial
ships in which we rely for
our economic strength in
time of peace and our de
fense mobility in time of
war—is in trouble.”

Report From Washington
By Rep. Walter B. Jones
So, last Wednesday the
House approved an authoriza
tion in the amount of $429.3
million for fiscal year 1970.
This figure represents $45
million more than contained
in the authorization last year.
This amount was considered
necessary to permit the
building of 300 new merchant
ships over a period of 10
years, or approximately 30
each year.
The Maritime Administra
tion had previously recom
mended that the Nuclear Sub
“Savannah” be laid up and
had asked for an appropria
tion of $1,700,000 for the cost
of retiring the vessel. The
committee refused to appro
priate this money and unani
mously agreed that the op
eration of the “Savannah”
continue.
The bill considered is ah
authorization and will have
to be ultimately approved by
the Appropriations Commit- '
tee.
On Friday, March 13, I had
the pleasure of flying into
the district to attend two
dedications. One was the
Alcoholic Rehabilitation Cen
THK CHOWAN HERALD, EPENTON, NORTH CAROLINA, MARCH It, 1974,
ter in Greenville, designed to
serve some 32 counties. I
am very grateful for the
honor accorded when it was
named the “Walter B. Jones
Alcoholic Rehabilitation Cen
ter.” 1 believe ,that rehabili
tation is the most important
factor ■in combatting the seri
ous problem of acute alcohol
ism. I hope that this center
will afford a service hereto
fore unavailable in Eastern
North Carolina.
The other dedication in
volved a new Coast Guard
building in the community of
Hobucken in Pamlico Coun
ty. This Coast Guard sta
tion serves a large area of
Eastern North Carolina with
emphasis on marine safety
and rescue work. The total
cost of the building was
$470,000, with an additional
$169,000 for housing units.
The Coast Guard engages
in more varied activity, than
any blanch of service. It pro
vides the already mentioned
services, is charged .with
monitoring water pollution in
certain areas. Presently they
are doing their part in the
Vietnam war. The Coast
Guard has a long history
dating back to August 4,
1790, when a Congressional
Act authorizing the creation
of a fleet of armed cutters to
insure the collection of ton
nage dues and import duties
from vessels entering United
States waters, was signed into
law by President Washing
ton. Since then, the Coast
Guard has been equally active
lin time of peace as well as
war.

GOD GAVE HIS SON
International Sunday School Lesson for March 22
Memory Selection: “God so loved the world,
that He gave His only begotten Son, that who
soever believeth in Him should not perish, but
have everlasting life.":—John 3:16.
Lesson Text: Isaiah 53; Matthew 27.
Today we study an ever-old, yet ever-new
story. Like the Christmas story the fact of
the birth of the Saviour of the world—the death
of that same Saviour never grows old.
The recounting of the life of Jesus Christ is
like the creation of the world. Each day is a
new day, delicately tinged with the wonder of
God’s creative Spirit. Each year the sadness of
Christ’s death touches our hearts; each year the
Easter season sends our spirits soaring in a
paeon of praise and rejoicing. Life triumphs
over Death; Love triumphs over Hate; Hope
scoffs at Despair.
For surely God loved the world, and sinning
mankind, to give His Son for the sins of the
world. He who was without sin, took all the
sins of mankind on His shoulders, and gave His
lifeblood freely and willingly, that we, steeped
in sin, might be cleansed.
Jesus was ever mindful of His mission. Even
at the point of death, crucified between two
thieves, in pain—pain of body, and pain of
mind—He yet gave absolution to the repentant
thief. His last words, so divinely human . . .
“Forgive them, Father, for- they know not what
they do” . . . were evidence of His caring for
mankind. The fact that they were prefaced by
His agonized cry: “O my God . . . why hast
Thou forsaken me?” was a part of His identi
fication with those amongst whom He walked,
and had His being.
Christ was not only made in the image of
man—He was man!
And let us get one thing straight in our, God
given power of reasoning; anyone who has an
ounce of imagination must be aware of the pain
the death of the Son caused the Father. So
many of us are parents ourselves; can we imag
ine what it would be like to have our beloved
child face such agony? We would, indeed, be
faint-hearted when the time was upon us to go
through with such a decision. Love, if it is
true love, is self-abegnation; love thinks of the
good of others, not of self. And perhaps the
purest form of love, ever, is that of a mother
for a child—or of a father for a child.
One other thing we must get straight in our
thinking, too, and that is the fact that if,un
moved, we can re-live the story of Christ’s sac
rifice, then we are, indeed, both degenerate and
lost. For, most certainly, an act of love should
beget another act of love. We cannot, in all
conscience, accept the sacrifice of Christ’s love,
for our sakes, undeserving though we be, with-,
out an equally positive response.
The ordeal of the Cross has a special mean
ing for those who would listen with their ears.
The implication contained in Christ’s sacrifice.

The Great Man Came
The croud had been gathering for hours. From
every corner of the town they came—from tall
u 'btte houses on the hill and tramped row houses ft
' by the mill. There were bankers and housewives ,
students and salesmen, grandmas and grocers, all I
M llli raun by a common hunger to hear the word of
..jfll And then the great man came. He stood before
a microphone, and his words spread over the
jplSk gathering like a benediction. HK .
: Suddenly, the shadow of a bygone day spread I
<• massively from another crowd, another place, to
those gathered here. A thousand differences were :
reconciled, as the congregation found a common
iJ bond under the spell of Good Friday, when God Kgl
iHls Sk & aie H‘ s Son in a uondrous gift of love.
?? So, in these troubled times, as crouds gather
all over the world—sometimes with hate in their R|
gStegsA. ■ / hearts—let us pledge our time and talent > to our HH -
S churches as they teach the brotherhood of men
' through the fatherhood of God.
