““— ——■— —... 11 — ■SU.?-,., in - 1 CHRISTIAN LIFELINES A Paraphrase Os The Lord’s Prayer 0 God, in this Your Kingdom to which we have riven our allegiance, You are our Father. How we wish j weryone could understand it; we do want Your t Kingdom to come real for more and more people, till Your plans work out on earth in all their completeness. As for today, please give us all its daily necessities. ; We are beginning to understand that we owe everyl thing to You, a debt we can never pay: help us to ' ; remember this when what someone else owes to us begins to loom too large in our mind, and obscures true vision of our fellows. You are the leader and Guide of our company along the road to today, and all I we ask is that there may be no unexpected encounters for which we are not ready. There is no doubt but that evil will be there to meet us: may we recognize it. and i rely on Your help to conquer it. For this Kingdom to ; which we have given our allegiance is Your Kingdom, and the power, and the glory about us is Your glory, and so it will be for ever and ever. Amen.

( ABOUT FACE People who talk in circles still turn mme mighty sharp corawv ’ Jut to win a point. Rev. ROBERT H. HARPER SKr HIGH A LL Americans may well be A proud of the feat of Gordon ' Cooper in his many orbits around the earth his safe descent into i the world * greatest ocean. i It now is known that Gordon ^ (> 2W' r '* A-devout believer in the Almighty God who "plants his footsteps in the sea and rides upon the storm." Following in the steps of his parents, he has b^en a member of a Christian church from childhood and now he and his own family are active members of that church. About three thousand years ago the Psalmist declared that "the heavens declare the glory of God ! JUST A THOUGHT: The more we discover shout the earth and universe, the easier it should become for us to recognize that there is one God above all things. and the firmament showeth his handiwork." And from a vantage far above the mists and clouds of the earth the- devout astronaut saw more clearly Hum cj||!d the Psalmist see the wonders of the universe that God has made. We cannot know whether or not G<kl approves of the efforts of men in t> modern time to gam a point of .antage like the builders of the lower of Babel, a nere they might see how the wheels go round, we can well believe that He will care for those who put their bust in Him.
