A ten-fool snowfall in the
Trans> Ivanian Alps on May 10
ushered in almost a month of
heavy rain that caused the
Danube and its tributaries, the
Mures and Somes Rivers, to
overflow then banks.
Some three million acres
were flooded. By the end of
Mas . an estimated 78,000
homes were under water and as
main as 200 persons were
feared drowned, the National
Geographic Society says.
As the rains continued, the
Danube tlooded docks and
installations at the large port of
l uinu - Sewrin, on Rumania's
border with Yugoslavia.
At the opposite end of the
country, the river crested more
than b': feet above its normal
high - water mark in Galati and
Braila. on the Soviet border.
Rising subterranean w-aters
added to the damage done by
the Mures and the Somes,
which merged to tlood all the
land between them. Rumania's

Throughout history, the

prosperity and destruction to

eastwaid path from the Black
Forest to the Black Sea
Winding for 1,770 miles
through West Germany.
Austria. Czechoslovakia,
Hungary, Yugoslavia, and
Rumania and bordering
Bulgaria and the Soviet
Ukraine, the Danube is
Europe's second - longest river,
exceeded only by the Volga.
The Danube River has been
a major highway for commerce
and invasion for more than
2,000 years. In the 4th century
B.C. it divided the civilized
Mediterranean world from the
barbarian hinterland and was
called by the Greek historian
Herodotus, "the greatest
river."
In turn the river bore
Romans. Charlemagne,'and
Napoleon east for conquest,
while Attila the Hun. Mongols,
and Turks used the river to
surge westward.

its busy traffic in war and
peace has made the Danube a
source of books, songs, and
legends, besides inspiring the
Strauss waltz, its early bridges
were believed built by
architects with the aid of the
Devil, whose fee was the souls
of the first persons to cross.
Now the Danube's
commerce is in oil. iron ore,
bauxite, grain, and other goods
from the nations lining its
banks. Hydrofoils speed
passengers nearly 200 miles
between Budapest and Vienna
in less than five hours, past
farms, vineyards, and medieval
castles.
Hydroelectric plants harness
the Danube to power industry

improved harbors and
navigation aids have more than
trebled the river's pre - Woild

I' JUST A STING" - Mrs. Lois Gurley, health nune, explains to
YThomas Bridges how she is going to prick his finger for a blood
|sample. Blood tests were conducted last week at the school for
lead Start children before their physical examinations by local
doctors.
"Why study a bunch of old
visions, anyhow?"
This was the response of i
Inghschool youth confronted
with the prospect of studying
the Book of Revelation in a
church school class. After all.
he reasoned, these visions talk
about the distant future and
we are busy enough with the
present!
Yet. just as the past has
served to shape the present,
what we do now can be greatly
affected by what we expect ot
the future. And people do
wonder about the future
Among the questions they ask
are these:
1. Will our world go on
unendingly, or will it someday
be brought to a close?
2. In what direction is the
world heading? Is it "better"
or "worse"? Is it staying the
same?
3. Will Christianity be
undisputably vindicated at
some point in the future? Will
"good" be triumphant once
and for all over "evil"?
4. Will there be a day of
reckoning for each of us?
It ts to questions such as
these that the Book of
Revelation is addressed. People
in those days also wondered
about the future and needed an
assurance to buttress their
hope. In looking at John's
visions it is important that we
do not get hung-up on the
details of his visions, but that
we concentrate on the message
behind those details.
For example he speaks of "a
new heaven and a new earth."
This is an expression of faith
that indtcatcs that God will
transform the world so that it
eventually fulfills the purpose
for which he made it. Today it
is a far cry from what God
intends it to be. but we believe
it will someday be a tar
different world, a world so
different that it will seem a
"new world." This will happen,
not because "day after day"
man simply will get "better
and better in every way," but
because God is moving this
world along toward that goal.
John also saw a vision of a
??New Jerusalem." Jerusalem
was lor the Jew the center of
all his religious hopes. It had
been destroyed a number of
times by enemies and had been
rebuilt again. The Jews
remembered with pride the
beautiful temple that had once
stood in the midst of the city
and looked forward to that day
when it would be there again.
Thev also believed that when
God's plan was fully
accomplished, people trom all
nations would look to the
temple in Jerusalem as the
center for the worship of God.
John saw the coming of a
new' Jerusalem, but it is
something rather different than
a city which is restored. Far
above any human city will be
the person of Christ What this
means for us is that whatever
the future may hold for the
world in which we live. Christ
will be at the center of it. It
means that that which we have
partially experienced in this
world will be perfectly and
completely experienced in this
new existance. This is what
Paul alluded to when he said:
"Now we see only the puzzling
reflections in a mirror but then
we shall see face to face. My
knowledge now is partial: then
it will be whole..." (NEB 1
Corinthian 13:12).
With this hope of the future
within him the Christian can
draw power to live, in the
present. Though life may seem
to ride roughshod over him,
though he may have to taste
again and again the bitterness
of seeming defeat, he can still
be a conqueror: "He who
conquers shall have this
heritage, and I will be his God
and he shall be my son"
(Revelation 21:7). We are like
soldiers who fall wounded in a
battle that we know will
eventually be won by our side.
We can accept these wounds
because we are secure in our
i knowledge of victory.
| it is the vision of our hope
j for the future that makes us
j truly unconquerable in the
i here and now of the present.
