Among the important leg
islation considered by the
House for the week ending
June 5 was a bill to increase
the public debt limit. The
bill as passed increased the
permanent debt ceiling freon
$365 billion to S3BO billion. It
further provided for a tem
porary increase of sls billion
for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1971, making an
overall limitation of $395 bil
lion for the first year, then
reverting back to 380 billion.
This raising of the debt ceil
ing has become an annual
event What H does is to
provide additional borrowing
power to make payments for
obligations already incurred.
I voted no on final passage
in the belief that unless the
Congress adamantly cur
tails questionable expendi
tures, then there can be no
end to the drastic inflation
ary spiral we are now ex
periencing.
The Foreign Aid appropria
tions bill was also approved
by the House by a vote of
192 to 152, in the amount of
$2,120,961,000, which repre
sented a reduction of $655
million from the original
budget request this was also
the smallest appropriation for
foreign aid since 1956. Al
though the committee had re
duced the appropriation from
the original request, the
House further reduced the
amount by withholding the
SBO million requested for Hie
Peace Corps. Consistent with
any votes since being in Con
gress, 1 was opposed to this,
and expressed this opposition
through the legislative me
chanics of a “pair.” 1 shall
continue this negative vote
until such time as I am sat
isfied that the dollars of the
American taxpayers are
achieving the original intent
of this program.
In a recent column I re
ferred to the approval of so
cial security amendments pro
viding for an increase to
some 26.2 million benefici
aries. An unusual feature of
this legislation was the
House approval of an amend
ment to the bill which would
give the sole power of in
creasing social security taxes
as well as benefits based on
projected cost of living in
creases, to the President of
the United States through the
secretary of HEW. This is in
direct contradictiton to the
United States Constitution
which has vested in the
House of Representatives ex
clusive jurisdiction in the
matter of tax legislation. With
a firm belief in the validity
of the United States Consti
tution, on this motion to in
clude this provision, I voted
no, as did five other mem-

Make Going To Church A Habit
MAKING WORSHIP MEANINGFUL
International Sunday School Lesson lor June 14
Memory Selection: “Let all tilings be done
decently and in order.”—Corinthians 14:40.
Lesson Text: I Corinthians 11; 14.
No writer in the Bible has been more exten
sively quoted then Paul. A man of intense con
viction, of vision, and gifted with the power of
soaring rhetoric, he was; indeed, an able advo
cate on behalf of Jesus Christ and the glory of
God.
There is, therefore, much to be learned from
Paul’s interpretation of the importance of public
worship within the fellowship of the Church.
Fcr, ostensibly, in the attendance of a service
of worship under a roof that is truly and sin
cerely dedicated to God, a sense of fellowship,
of well-being, of gratitude, of comfort, of spirit
ual sustenance, of sharing, and of love and re
sponsibility should be present and tangible to
whomever raters those portals whether it be
member or visitor.
So very much depends on one’s personal atti
tude, one’s personal beliefs. Like everything
else in life, one gets out of it, in exact measure,
what one is willing to put into it
Hie truly motivated Christian sees worship
not as a retreat from the realities of his life,
but as the only intelligent response to reality
that he can give; the reality of God’s sacrificial
love; the reality of Christ’s concern, humility,
and obedience.
Worship—what are the connotation of that
word?
Adoration? Yes! Humility? Yes! Gratitude?
Yes! True worship personifies all that is up
lifting in the human spirit But all these tilings
must be present in our consciousness, or they
become unmeaningful and ineffectual despite our
physical appearance in public in the church of
our choice.
If we do not enter into a service with the
proper and receptive attitude, we do not leave
spiritually enriched; nor, surely, can God be
heartened by our attendance. IFor He sees ALL
things, and into EVERY heart
God is, indeed, the ultimate explanation of
WHY men worship—for worship is, essentially, a
response to God’s presence.
In most churches of our time the Sacrament of
Holy Communion is observed. As the wafer
fHis body) is shared, and as the wine .His
blood) is offered and received, the solemnity
of the occasion will not escape the receptive
spirit. Received within the fellowship of the
church, it is shared in fellowship. The church
is stronger for the banding together of its mem
bers, and therefore more effective in doing
God’s work.
Worship should be a drawing together of
kindred spirts, an inner renewal, an affirmation
and a concerted answer to the greatest challenge
mankind has ever known. How is YOUR church
answering God’s caU?
