Spiritual Truths Contributed By
 Nome Gospel Home

Jack Hershey was on his way home from work where he drew wire in steel factory Taking a short cut, he fell into a muddy ravine and was trapped in the morass. It was getting dark when a fellow worker by chance saw what looked like head lying on the mud. Hershey had sunk down to his chin in the mud, and his mouth was already full of it, so he could not talk or call for help. All he could do was move his eyes. It took forty-five minutes for the rescue party to pull him out, inch by inch. How glad he was for that passing worker who saw him What reminder to us all about the grace and assurance which Our Lord can and does give. "I waited patiently for the Lord, and He inclined unto my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a Rock, and established my goings." LII Psalm 40: 1, 2.
 And He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God" - VS. B.

 At the same time the spokes- man confirmed earlier reports that the British Prime Ministers visit to tho Soviet Union came perilous- ly close to ending abruptly in Mos cow as a result of Soviet Premier Khrushchev's Kremlin speech.
 These disclosures were made as MacMillan flew here from Mos COW, where he had addressed stern words to Khrushchev in a meeting at the Kremlin.
 British sources said he had warned Khrushchev that any at- tempt to interfere with Western rights in Berlin would be fraught with danger.
 Khrushchev had planned to fly to Kiev with MacMillan, but the visiting British Prime Minister took off alone Khrushchev was not even at the Moscow airport 10 see him off
 A British spokesman said Khrushchev told MacMillan at a meeting in the Kremlin he had a oad tooth and must have it filled.
 Diplomats wondered whether this was a diplomatic illness.
