Swim With Care
With vacation time in full
swing, we offer a word of
caution to the swimmer.
Judging from the experience
of other years, approximate
ly 3,500 lives will have
been lost by accidental
drowning these next few
months. This represents
only about half of the total
number of people drowned
each year.
The annual death toll in
the United States from
drowning grows larger each
year. More than one-half of
those dying in this manner
are young persons under
twenty-four years of age.
Every vacationist should
be careful this summer.
Helen Keller
One of the great American
stories is that of the late
Helen Keller, probably the
most famous blind, deaf
mute in the history of edu
cation. She was born at Tus
cumbia, Alabama, on the
27th in 1880.
When nineteen months old
shehad scarlet fever, which
left her blind and unable to
hear, thus she could not
leam to talk. No effort was
made to educate her until
she was eight but then she
was put under the care of
remarkable Anne Sullivan,
who had been trained in
Boston's Perkins Institution
for the Blind.
Miss Sullivan, with re
markable patience, taught"
her to read Braille. Then
young Keller wanted to leam
to talk and studied at the
Horace Mann School in New
York until successful. She
went on to graduate from
Radcliffe and then led a re
markably successful life,
writing and lecturing and
giving new hope to other
handicapped people through
out the world.
The Helen Keller story
should serve as an inspira
tion to all who consider
themselves victims of an
unlucky fate. Helen Keller
led a satisfying, happy life
of accomDlishment-helDine
and inspiring millions by
perseverance, courage and
faith.

Washington Report
By Congressman
On Wednesday, June 14, the
House staged a most impressive
"Flag Day'' ceremony. The
principal speaker was a well
known entertainer, Mr. Red
Skelton. His performance
consisted of citing the Pledge of
Allegiance and adding his own
words, which are as follows:
I me, an individual, a
committee of one.
PLEDGE dedicate all of my
wordly goods to give without
self-pity.
ALLEGIANCE - my love and
my devotion.
TO THE FLAG our stan
dard, Old Glory, a symbol of
freedom. Wherever she waves,
there is respect because your
loyalty has given her a dignity
that shouts freedom is
everybody's job.

means that we have come
together.
STATES - individual com
munities that have united into
48 great states, 48 individual
communities, with pride and
dignity and purpose, all divided
with imaginary boundaries, yet
united to a common purpose,
and that's love for country.

Wooing Wallace
Sometimes it's hard for
the average citizen to stom
ach the politics of an elec
tion year. In this connec
tion, the recent parade of
Democrats to the bedside of
Governor George Wallace of
Alabama is a prime example.
Damned as the blackest
of politicians by the party
hierarchy for so long, now
that his 300 plus delegate
votes might be decisive at
the convention this summer,
orbecauseof the fear that he
might throw in his lot with
President Nixon, a parade
of high Democrats, led by
party chief Larry O'Brien,
has wooed on the Governor.
The crowning example
was a recent, highly-publicized
visit by Ethel Ken
nedy. Politics, it's said,
makes strange bedfellows.
More rightly put, it might be
said that the urge to win
makes most politicians do
almost anything and flip-',
flop in almost any direction
-if the votes are there.
A Passing

and been startled by a ear from behind, aHentiy
pulling up beside you, apparently out of thin air,

tell him you're passing, but you can sound your
horn to make him aware of your intentions. If s the

House enacted legislation in an
effort to combat the series
problem of drug abuse In the
Armed Services, designed to
assist the. unfortunates who
become victims. Among other
things it will require each
member of the Armed Forces to
be examined; it broadens the
authority to offer hospitalisation
either in a military facility or
other responsible agencies. It
will require persons to undergo
rehabilitation for a period of 30
days beyond the member's term
of service, with the 30 days
being compensated. .
The House approved the 1973
appropriation for Labor, the

When the big wheel turns clockwise, the little wheel turns counter
clockwise at a greater rate of speed. Thus man controls energy in the
physical universe, determining, according to his own will, its direction
and effect ;"
There is a spiritual universe, too. A world in which God, who gave
us freedom of will, provides the guidance, help and inspiration which unite
our minds with His for purposes which are GOOD.
We realize with trembling in this nuclear age that the physical and
spiritual universe are not two but ONE. We cannot live in the one and
forget the other. For the world we know will perish unless man's spiritual
vision governs his use of the energy he controls.
Wise and reverent minds have always known this. That is why we
have CHURCHES . . . why we share their Life and Work with one another.

LESSON TEXT: Psalms 57 : 90:13-17; Isaiah 6:1-6; Romans
8: 38-39. ,,. , . ,r
If we live life to its fullest, we are invariably confronted
with insecurities; it inevitably follows that, in the life of the
practicing Christian, we seek answers through the truly
devotional life. Our relationship with God, therefore, plays a .
very important part in the solving of these conflicts. : , n , ;
This lesson, therefore, is directed towards inspiring :
confidence of an inner nature-in God, and in ourselves as ,
servants of God. v."' . -.
For Israel, as we have learned, there were times of
bondage, pilgrimage, civil war, and exile. For the Church .,
there was gross misunderstanding, persecution and Internal
strife. For man, who, in the natural advent of things, makes
up a nation, makes up a congregation, inner strife and a
sense of impermanence are continuing threats to a sense of
security.;.:-'-" :l:;,t
How to combat these debilitating forces? The answer can
only be found in a close and personal relationship with God! ,
In our study of Psalm 57 we recognize the cry of a soul in
great distress; fear is expressed, as is-on the opposite side of
the coin-trust; faith and exaltation are the keynotes. There .
was a great unburdening of the writer's soul..
How often, as we go through life, do we find ourselves in
' the same spiritual situation Beset by insecurities, we turn to
One who was both creative and triumphant; who has
allseeing, and all-forgiving.
How fortunate we are! In the Bible we have a charted .
course to follow; we travel no uncharted paths, for men have
trod them before us; from their experiences we are able to
learn! We are able to evaluate!
God, through the advent and death of Christ Jesus, has
openly declared His love and concern, for mankind. Christ,
throughout a comparatively short lifetime, demonstrated
this Godly concern. . - r ; ,-,.'
' Today the world is beset with many problems. Continual
warring factors in far-flung reaches threaten the lives of our'
young men. On the home front we are plagued with racial
unrest and the specter of drug addiction. We fight the good
, fight of providing for our families-our loved ones-end we
' return to our homes at night, thankful for the shelter of our
roof, and a surcease from struggle. There we gird ourselves '
to face the challenges of another day. ::
How much better would we fare if we returned to God!
For In Him would we not only find rest and. renewal, but
spiritual strength! For spiritual security is no less important
to mankind than physical security! ? - i
- As Christians we are blessed with being able to com
municate with God at any time, in any circumstances. We .
may lift up our voices in prayer and supplication, and claim ;
His help at any time. Our faith becomes our armor; Christ Is
our assurance of an after-life! . 1 1
The Innate needs of man have been answered lit the
concept of the Holy Trinity ... if we accept this doctrin ws will
never be dismayed, or lonely, or lost
