pt. Valentine's Day
. There were three Saint
Valentines, all living in the
Isecond half of the third century;
lone ia thought to have a priest of
Rome, another was a bishop and
little is known of the other. But
they were all martyrs and were
connected in the popular mind
jwith the people.
! Later, in Middle Ages Europe,
;the day known as St. Valentine's
pay was associated with lovers
!and it was said this was the day
on which the birds mated. The
fclrds-as Kenneth Clark has
Ipolnted out in "Civilisation,"
Were then thought by many to be
ia . special example of the
Creator's beauty.
I Hnawviir It came about, bovi
and girls soon began exchanging
Valentines. And hearts still beat
faster when one's best girl, or
best beau, sends an especially
lovely Valentine. The custom has
spread to husbands and wives
and others, and is a nice one -
even if over-commercialized,
s It's good to be remembered
and to be loved and Valentine's
Da prompts such expressions.
2e world unquestionably needs
we love, and less hatred, and
that is, in part, the message of
February 14th.
The Heart Fund
The performance record of the
Heart Association in the fight
-""t heart and Wood vessel
. ha established it as
i U-2 worthy of our community's
' fullest support.
The facts speak for them
selves. Since the onset of
massive heart research
programs in 1950, following the
first Heart Fund Campaign in
1949, there has been a decline of
about 20 per cent in the car
diovascular death rate for
Americans under 65.
The improved mortality
picture grows chiefly out of a
dramatic reduction in the death
rate from high blood pressure
and the heart disease it causes,
as well as in the death rate from
stroke. It is an overall im
provement. In heart attack, the
number one killer of our time,
the improvement has been only
about 2 per cent since 1950.
Yet let no one assume that
.victory is close at hand. Heart
and blood vessel disease, at all
ages, is responsible for about 53
.per cent of all deaths in the
United States. Those who read
(this paper's obituaries will note
continuing references to the
death toll taken by cardiovascular
diseases in this community.

Future Farmers.
At one time farming consisted
of "40 acres and a mule," and a
man did well if he was able to
feed himself and his family. In
1971. the story is far different.
Farming ia a business, and
agriculture is a highly advanced
industry employing the best
brains among many disciplines.
A successful career in
agriculture must start at an
early age. That is why there are
such organizations as the Future
Farmers of America wmcn wui
shortly be observing FFA
WEEK, February 20-27. The
theme of FFA WEEK tola year
is, "Involved In America's
Future." No theme could be
more appropriate. Nothing is
more closely involved with the
future of the United States than
the raising of the food and fiber
for more than 200 million people.
Some facts in connection with
commemmoratlon of FFA
WEEK have been released by
The National Future Farmer, a
publication of the FFA. The FFA
is a national organization of
450,000 students studying
vocational agriculture in 9,000
public schools. The foundation
upon which it is built Includes
leadership, community service,
scholarship, improved
agriculture, citizenship,
patriotism, etc. Young people in
local FFA chapters are
developing into the agricultural
leaders of tomorrow.
Those engaged in agriculture
are a declining percentage of the
total population of the country.
As the numbers of farmers
shrink, the responsibilities of
each agricultural producer
become heavier. Today, on the
average, every farmer feeds
nearly 50 other people.
Tomorrow, this figure will in
crease, and the need for
agricultural leadership and
ability will grow. The FFA is to
be commended for preparing
young people for careers in the
most fundamental of all en
terprises - bringing forth the
bounty of the land to supply the
growing needs of our nation and
the world.

The House continued the slow
process of adopting rules and
completing th organization
the 92nd Congress.
Most of you are aware of the
seniority system as it relate to
committee chairmanships and
other positions of leadership in
th Congress. During the week,
a bitter fight took place regard
ing Congressman John Mc
Millan of South Carolina, long
time chairman of the Committee
on the District of Columbia.
The liberal wing of the House
in an almost unprecedented
action, made an effort to divest
Chairman McMillan of his
position. They alleged that he
had been ineffective and. had
purposely refused to consider
legislation which in the opinion of
the Members would bv been to
the benefit of the District of
Columbia. On the other hand, the
supporters of McMillan argued
that under his Chairmanship,
much important legislation had
been enacted, to wit. The om
nibus Crime Bill of 1970, the
establishment of the Federal
City College, and the proposed
creation of a modern subway
system.
The committee also brought
forth legislation which will
permit the District of Columbia
to have a non-voting delegate to
the Congress as does Puerto
Rico. On a secret ballot in the
Democratic caucus, Chairman
McMillan retained his position
by a vote of 126 to 9.
I cast my vote in favor of
Congressman McMillan. Among
other reasons, I feel that If a few
disgruntled members of the
Congress are permitted to oust
the chairman, then the same
action could be taken on all other
committees creating a situation
where a minority on either the
Democratic or the Republican
side of the House could dictate
the procedures and keep the
House in a state of uncertainty at
all times.
During the week I Joined with
other members of Congress in
introducting legislation which
seeks to accomplish the
following purposes:

These are the wonderful years, when there is so much to learn and
hours enough in which to learn it.
Youth has an unquenchable thirst for knowledge; also the desire,
the capacity and the energy to absorb if given oven a little encourage
ment. But today, perhaps more than; ever before In history, youth does
need guidance. ,..
Be sure the young people in your life have the opportunity to ex
amine the whole picture. But in their search for the stars, don't let them
forget the miracle of this planet upon which they live and its Creator.
Let them know their church.

HUMILITY BEFORE GOD
International Sunday School Lesson for Feb. 14, 1971
MEMORY SELECTION: "Whosoever exalteth himself shall
be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted." -(Luke
14:11) .
LESSON TEXT; Luke 14:7-11; 18:9-14.
In our lesson for today we are brought face to face with the
fact that humility is one of the greatest attributes man can
have in the sight of God.
Christ, Himself, was a shining example of the best in
human nature, and . He practices humility of spirit
assiduously. ;
Alas, it is not an easy pattern to follow, for man is
naturally prideful, and therefore naturally sinful. God,
however, (and we must never lose sight of this) requires,
approves, and then rewards truly Christian living - a life
based on humility of character and of thoughts. He can,
however, (and we must be mindful of this) differentiate
between true humility of spirit and the prideful kind!
As our lesson opens, we find Christ a guest in the home of a
well-known Pharisee. And as He taught the assemblage,
there were those who were genuinely interested in learning,
and there were still others who sought to discredit Him under
the guise of Interested questions. '
In this particular instance, Christ's instructions were very
" clear as he spoke the words contained in our Memory
Selection. The vehicle of His teaching was the substance of a
wedding feast; everybody who felt himself important
naturally gravitated to the place of honor - the table closest
to the host and to the wedding party. But supposing a favored
person arrived late? One who was close to the family, and
therefore treasured in its eyes? Was he to be forced to sit at
the end of the feast room? Such a thing would not necessarily
be countenanced by the host -and someone would have to
exchange places! In such an event, price would surely be
humbled! , ! i
How much more desirable would it be for the man who
was content to take a back seat to be invited to a place of
honor! .
And in this simple story we find a spiritual principle in
volved ... if self-assertiveness is not welcome in the sight of
men, how much less welcome it is In the sight of God!
Through a situation taken from the everyday life of His.
times, Christ gave emphasis to a spiritual truth. This was
again repeated in the parable of the attitudes in which the
Pharisee and the publican went into the Temple to pray.
Which do you think found favor in God's eyes? The smug
Pharisee, self-righteous and self-praising, or the publican
who appraised himself and his estate, and admitted himself
wanting in God's estimation?
: In the practice of our faith, which are. we ... the Pharisee
or1 the publican? Are we satisfied with our Christian estate-or
are we self-examining, aa was the publican?.
We must ever remember that humility before God involves
a proper view of sin; it involves a proper view of service; and
- most importantly - it is essential that we have a proper
perspective in regard to that most fertile ground for temp
tations to win out - SELF) So, let us resolve never to set
ourselves to claiming that to which we are not entitled; let usk
rattier,' lay claim to a true and sincere humility of spirit!
