' WHAT AMERICA NEEDS ' A leader like Moses, who refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, but was willing to go with God. fcArmy generals like Joshua, who knew God and could pray and shout things to pass rather than blow them to pieces with atomic energy. A food administrator like Joseph, who knew God and had the/inswer to famine. Preachers like Peter, who would not be afraid to look people in the eye and say, Repent or perish," and denounce their personal as well as national sins. Mothers like Hannah, who would pray for a child that she might givfe him to God, rather than women who are delinquent mothers of delinquent children. Children like Samuel, who would talk to God in the night hours. Physicians like LukS, who could care for physical needs and introduce their patients to Jesus Christ, who is a specialist in spiritual things. A God like Israel's, instead of a "dollar god" the "entertainment god" and the "auto god." <■ A Saviour like Jesus, who could and would save from the uttermost to the uttermost. t • Sunday School—9:3o A M.

load has more than doubled. "Between the five months of January and May this year we have completed as many procedures as we did last year from January through December.” she says, explaining the demand has increased as physicians have included the exam in their diagnostic evaluation. The longer the equipment is available, the more demand will be placed upon it. she feels This has increased the time she spends performing ultrasound scans and has created the need for training or hiring a second ultrasound technician to relieve her on days off ami vacations The increasing work load does not hither her. She says every patient is different and creates a new challenge “Since I started in the field of radiology. I've been very happy with my decision." she says. “I've never wanted to change my profession" For this former resident, the increased responsibilities brought on by her additional training have been another reason to enjoy her job
