1 Rain-soaked dam bursts, mud hits Georgia college From United Press International TOCCOA, Ga. - A wall of red water gushed from a rain-soaked earthen dam before dawn Sunday, sending an avalanche of water, mud, trees, boards and other debris smashing down on a sleeping Bible-college campus nestled in the northeast Georgia mountains. Georgia civil defense officials said at least 37 people died. Two persons were reported missing and presumed dead, and over 60 were injured. news briefs A grief-stricken Rosalyn Carter, who had friends and relatives in the area, rushed from a Washington church service with the President to view the disaster scene and offer comfort to the survivors. The dam, which formed a lake to supply water to Toccoa Falls College and the small mountain town below it, had been placed on the "high hazard" list by the U.S. Army Corps of engineers, meaning if it ruptured, casualties were likely. The disaster was the worst of its type since the West Virginia Buffalo Creek flood of M arch 1 972 in which a coal mine refuse dam, also saturated by heavy rain, collapsed and flooded a mining valley, killing 1 18.

The chief trial prosecutor disclosed immediately alter the verdict that efforts were under way to find other suspects in the slaying of the Arizona Republic reporter, who was probing corruption in the state when he died.

Lombardo dead at 75 HOUSTON Members of bandleader Guy Lombardo's family were in seclusion Sunday preparing to return the body of "M r. New Year's Eve" to New York for funeral .services. The tall, wavy-haired man whose Royal Canadians became a New Year's tradition, died Saturday at the age of 75 in Methodist Hospital of a lung ailment complicated by heart and kidney failure. , By coincidence, at the moment of his death his band, nearly 2,000 miles away at Bedford, N.H., happened to be playing "Auld Lang Syne," the moving song that he and the Royal Canadians played to usher in many a new year for Americans who listened to him in person, on radio and on television. Edmisten for Senate? RALEIGH Attorney General RulusL. Edmisten's decision on whether tojump into next year's U.S. Senate race hinges on the outcome of the vote Tuesday on gubernatorial succession, but his chief aide says that decision is almost certain to be negative. Charles Smith, Edmisten's top aide, told the Charlolie Observer it would take overwhelming approval of the proposed constitutional amendment to permit a governor and lieutenant to succeed themselves for a second, consecutive term for Edmisten to add his name to the list of contenders who want to unseat Republican ' Sen.

Monday, November 7, 1977 The Daily Tar Heel 3 Evangelist sees pre-Christian era; need for spiritual tru th By KARKN MILLERS DTH Contributor Painting a picture of a world both hungering for and open to spiritual truth, 1 eighton ord challenged an audience of more than 800 Sunday to meet that need through a lifestyle of communicating the Christian faith. Ford, associate evangelist with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, spoke in Memorial Mall during the 10:30a.m. service of the Chapel Hill Bible Church. He had just returned from a month-long tour in Australia. Afterspendingthe weekend in Chapel Hill, he and his family returned to their Charlotte home. l ord said Australians freuuentlv asked him whether he aereed with many persons that this is a post-CJirktian era. "No. I think this a pre-Christian era," he replied. "I believe we have yet to see what Jesus Christ will do in our world." Drawing on his traveling experiences. Ford cited as evidence for his belief a Brailian church built for 25,000, the number of Christians in Africa growing four times faster than the population, 15 percent of all Koreans professing Christianity and frequent Christian conferences lor young people brought up under atheistic ideologies in Eastern Europe. He said one-third of all Americans claim to be born again Christians but noted that definitions of "born-again" often vary. 'There are areas of the world that are closed and hostile," Ford admitted. "There's a door of opposition and resistance on one hand and open doors on the other." Speaking to the Christians in the audience. Ford reminded them of their need to be faithful in responding to these open doors and of their need to have an updated commitment of new obedience to Christ. "That (commitment) is ultimately the reason why you and I who know Jesus Christ share Him." Ford said. He recalled a time two years ago in Tulsa. Okla., when he went through an identity crisis and felt inadequate and fearful. "1 thought 1 really don't have anything to say that's going to reach people. Then I remembered from Genesis 15 that God said. 'I am your shield, and I am your exceeding great reward.' And 1 realized, if somebody jeers or makes catcalls, I don't.' have anything to fear." He said his commitment to obedience rather than his" feelings were the basis of his actions. Ford said this commitment also brought former enemies together, such as former Black Panther Eldridge Cleaver and former Ku Klux Klan leader Tommy Terrent. I-ord said he talked with Cleaver for two hours shortly after Cleaver had become a Christian and had recommended that he look upCharlesColson on hit coming trip to Washington. D.C. Later. Terrent, who became a Christian in a Mississippi prison, met Cleaver at Fellowship House in Washington, where Colson, Harold H ughes and other Christians often fathered. "People who had been poles apart were made one in Christ." Ford said. 2M4 Chapel HIU tivd (Down the hMt from VorfetQwne Theilrei Durhem H C oirtr IKIUK!

It is especially appropriate for New Years, birthdays, and funerals. The Eternity of The Almighty is contrasted with the brevity, shortness, frailty and evil of man's life. "Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever Thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from Everlasting to Everlasting, Thou art God." God has not created us with minds capable of comprehending that which has no beginning, nor end. Why "kick against the prick"? Why not acknowledge our limitations? It could be the preparation needed to learn to "Trust In The Lord with all our heart, and learn not to our own understanding." Prov. 3:5. Man's time and days are "As a sleep; like grass which groweth up; In the morning it flourished and groweth up, and in the evening it is cut down, and withereth." God "turns man to destruction, and sayest, Return, ye children of men." Return to dust. "Return unto the ground ... For dust thou art, and unto dust shall thou return." - Gen. 3:19.God's Word Is being fulfilled unto Adam whom He warned not to disobey orders regarding eating the Forbidden Fruitt Five times in three verses 7, 9, 11, Moses mentions the anger and wrath of God because of "the iniquities and secret sins of man set in the light of His countenance!" This Psalm is frequently read at funerals, or parts of it, for often these verses are skipped that reveal the real cause of death. Would it not be more appropriate to constantly remind ourselves of the anger and wrath God against the "Iniquities and secret sins of men," and then rejoice because Christ took our place and endured the wrath and curse that we might be saved? And might if not stir us up who believe with a greater zeal to win the lost to the Savior? He came "to seek and save that which Is lost." If you do not believe these things, or take part of God s Word for "myth," you certainly are out of place in a Protestant Christian Churchl Mr. Unbeliever, is it "myth" that men return to dust? Do you expect to escape such an experience? Is Gen. 3:16 a "myth" where we read "unto the woman He (God) said: I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and conception; in sorrow shalt thou br ing forth children?" Ask any, or ask all women who have travailed in childbirth if this statement of God In Genesis is "myth!" "It I could, I surely would, stand on the rock where Moses stood." Think these words are from a Spiritual. Probably the basis is the passage in Exodus 33:19-23 where God placed Moses in the "cleft of a rock" and covered him with i lis har.J as His glory passed by. Doubtless it is also the basis ot the beloved song "Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide mysell in Thee." It is bad, it is too bad, it is two thousand and more bad, that some of our modern clergy are telling us that "The R ock of Ages" is out of date! F rom the way I read G od's W ord, even the words of The Gentle Jesus, it would be a lavor done such prophets if "a millstone were hanged about their neck, and they were thrown into the sea!" Surely Moses knew what he was talking about when he said in this Psalm'Thou carriest them away as with a Hood for we are consumed by Thine anger, and by Thy wrath are we troubled Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, our secret sins In the light of Thy countenance All our days are passed away inThy wrath Who knoweth the power of Tine anger? even according to Thy fear, so is Thy wrath The days of our years are threescore and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away." With the background of these experiences in his mind's eye, and having confessed them in the first part ot his prayer, he then prays to God in the 12th verse: "SO TEACH US TO NUMBER OUR DAYS, THAT WE MAY APPLY OUR HEARTS UNTO WISDOM." Note he asks God to be their Teacher to the end they might have wisdom for the use of their switt pas sing days. "The fear of The Lord is the beginning of wisdom." John Bunyan commented that he that had not the "begin ning" had neither the "middle" nor the "end!" God had said "Return to dust." Now Moses prays God to "Return" to them with forgiveness and blessing: "Return, O Lord, how long? and let it repent Thee concerning Thy servants. O satisfy us early with Thy mercy; that we may re joice and be glad all our days. Make us glad according to the days wherein Thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil. Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, and Thy glory unto their children. And let the beauty of The Lord our God be upon us: and establish Thou the works ot our hands upon us. yea, the work of our hands establish Thou it." P. O.
