The balding, 62-year-old successor to John Vorster emerged the winner of the three-way battle within the ruling, Afrikaner-dominated National Party in a closed-door party caucus. The National Party has controlled the white majority government since 1948. Botha, the most senior member of the Cabinet with 12 years as minister of defense, strode to the front steps of the. Parliament building after his election and promised "law and order" for the country. But he said one of his goals will be "to apply a positive policy to improve the relations between the different population communities, taking into account the inalienable right of self determination of all peoples." At a news conference after his speech. Botha announced he would retain his portfolio as defense minister. He said he intended to make no immediate changes in the Cabinet and would keep the defense job "as long as I believe it to be suitable and practical."

He spent about twelve years In fall resisting the civil and church "powers that be" because they wanted him to worship and serve God In accordance with their rules and regulations, Instead of according to his own convictions and conscience. Many consider this book second only to the Bible In developing the character and greatness of the Engflshspeak Ing peoplesHunyan advised his own children and Christians to spend a little time each day thinking about their own funeral, not to make them sad and depressed, but rather that . such feelings and spirits might be overcome and banished so that they could meet the death experience In strong faith and Joyous expectation. Surely this makes sense and is great ad vice In view of the fact, It Is appointed unto man once to die, but after this the Judgement." Hebrews 9:27. Some time ago the writer attended the funeral service of a friend he had known most of his life. The minister said the service had been planned by the deceased. For six months, or more, she had been expecting and looking forward to death, testifying she believed her time had come and she was 'SUng arid Wani She requested that at her funeral service the minister read the 12th chapter of Romans, and then read, not sing, the words of the hymn, "Amazing Grace." As I sat and listened I had the Impression that here was a message sent back to us from the Spirit world by one who had Just gone to be with the Lord. This 12th chapter of Romans reveals the duties and doing and works of a faith which is "the gift of God." We suggest you study the chapter and get familiar with all the duties It re quires of the Christian, and "examine yourself, whether ye be In the faith." We quote part of the words of the hymn "Amazing Grace". "Amazing grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me! Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear the hour 1. first believed. Through many dangers, toils and snare's, I have already come: Twas grace that brought me safe thus far and grace will lead me home. When we've been there ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun; We've no less days to sing God's praise than when we-flrst begun." God's Grace will do the same for "Whosoever Will" come In faith.-: ilsi ? " - i Texas Instruments Tl 25 SR-40 Bus.
