followers that can only be de-
scribed as the Kennedy mys-
tique." They felt he was born
to be o winner.
He went to war and. came
back a genuine hero. He wrote
a book and it won a Pulitzer
prize. He ran for the Senate and
licked the grandson Of the man
who had defeated his grand
father in the same fight. He
lost an exciting battle for the
Democratic nomination for Vice
President in 1856 but in los
ing. he really won; he came so
unexpectedly close people now
talked about him for the top
nomination.
He had started national polit-
ical life the same time Rich
ard Nixon did. They had their
congressional ofIices on oppos-
ite sides Of the same corridor.
And then they battled each
other for the supreme prize. ..
Jack Kennedy was born in
Brookline, Mass. May 20, 1917,
into a life that promised scope
and insisted on excellence. His
family had q multi-million
dollar fortune, widely ranging
interests and q thirst for COM
petitive superiority.
His paternal grandfather was
Patrick Joseph Kennedy. saloon
keeper, Democratic ward leader
in East Boston, State Represen-
tative and State Senator. His
maternal grandfather was John
Francis Honey Fitz" Fitzger-
aid. q colorful politician, United
States Congressman, twice
Mayor Of Boston and the man
who lost his fight for q seat in
the United States Senate TO
Henry Cabot Lodge in 1916.
Family Fortuhe
It was Joseph p. Kennedy,
Jacks father, who arlaassed the
family foutune. beginning in q
Boston bank, then branching
out from shipbuilding and an
investment house to specula-
tor profits in Wall Street and
Hollywood. The family wealth
is now estimated at 5000 mil
lion.
Joseph Kennedy also became
Franklin Roosevelt's first chair
man Of the securities and Ex-
change Commission, chairman
Of the United States Maritime
Commission and Ambassador to
England from 1887 to 1910. He
was obliged to resign as Am
baSsador because Of his out
spoken opinions about Eng
lands chances against Ger
many in World War II.
To assure their financial in
dependence. Joseph Kennedy
set up a million-dollar trust
for each Of his nine children.
And it was he who gave them
an early appetite for competi-
ton. All the Kennedy children
were expected to do nothing
less than their best, whether
it was an informal political
debate at the dinner table OF
a game Of touch football OF
} a sailboat race.

Services Of the Church

The church in America can't es-
cape it. If the church did not offer
service it would be most peculiar,
and in fact would hardly be a
church at all. For it, almost alone,
serves by it's very nature. All the
Institutions of society that do truly
render service, were inspired or
created by the church in the first
place. (Orphanages and savings
banks come to mind, and there are
many others, notably schools.)
But what are the services of the
church? We often use the term
church service" to mean the meet
ing for public worship and preach
ing. We cannot quarrel with that
use of the word, but that is not
what is meant here. What we mean
is, when the minister calls on a
new family and tells them the serv-
ices of his church are at their dis
posal, what does he mean? Ger
tainly something more than to say
the worship-meetings of the church

are open to them.
Many minor methods of service
are used by the church: operating
leindergartens, book clubs, employ
ment agencies, loan funds, not to
mention more elaborate projects
such as educating people on the
moral side of public questions,
operating hospitals, publishing
houses, schools and so on. BY call
ing these minor" we do not mean
they are unimportant or that the
church should not undertake them.
When Paul wrote: Let us do good
to all men, especially to those who
are of the household of faith" he
laid down the foundation principle
of every service project that de
serves the name.
Nevertheless, the question still is:
What is the most vital service, the
top service the church can render?
Surely it must be to give people
what they need the most. Suppose
a man is dying of serious disease.
He may not want any particular
medicine, or any medicine at all.
But a doctor, examining him, may
know just the specific medicine for
his trouble. He ministers to the
mans need, not to his immediate
appetite.
What human beings need most
is, in one word, God. The church
is doing the supreme service for
us when it shows us the way back
to God (Let us rather say, the way
forward to God; he is ahead of US
not the other way around.) The
doorway to God has two keys, like
a safety deposit box: one key is
marked Faith and the other Re
pentance. God gives us the keys
but never forces us to use them.
To Feed and Defend
The church is often thought of
as a flock of sheep, its leader as
shepherds. In addressing the elders
of Ephesus, who remembered well
his three years among them, Paul
marks out the two things a shep-
herd does for his sheep: to feed and
to defend them against wolves and
other beasts. Some people suppose
that a church's service is confined
simply to proclaiming repentance
and faith in other words, the
church's whole and only business is
evangelism. This was not Pauls
practice. He, and the elders after
him, if they followed his example,
also fed and defended Christ's peo-
pie. Feeding" means all the church
does in nourishing and building up
Christ-like character, especially
teaching, preaching, counseling,
training for Christian service at
the highest levels. Defending"
means keeping the church strong,
despite the attacks of all who would
destroy it, from without or within.

They are only necessity because we

Despite Private Power Ads,
Federal Projects Are
Money-MakeFs 80

Hoover Dam, now in its 18th year
has an admirable record of achieve
ments. Lands in the u. s. irrigated
by water it stores in Lake Mead have
produced crops valued at So billion
| since storage started Feb. 1, 1886.
Power generators at Hoover Dam
have turned out over SO billion kilo-
wat hours of electricity in the Is
years. There has been no flooding
below Hoover Dam since water stor-
age began. And Hoover Dam has
cleared up the muddy Colorado River
to provide one of the outstanding
recreation and fish and wildlife areas
in the nation.
But what about the cost of this
federal multipurpose project? Has
it cost the taxpayers millions, as the
private power industry proclaims in
its expensive magazine ads? Hoover
Dam and all of its facilities will have
cost about $175 million when the last
generator is installed this year. Gross
revenue in its first 20 years has been
$1821s million-or $6k million
more than the total cost of the fed
eral project.
Of this $1821a million, over 500
million has been returned to the fed
eral treasury. The project has also
paid $101a million to the Colorado
River Development Fund, $6.3 mil
lion each to Arizona and Nevada, and
the remainder of the $1821a million
has been paid for operating expenses.
AS US. Commissioner of Reclama-
ton Floyd E. Donniny said recently,
Hoover Dam doubtless has repaid its
cost many times by just preventing
yearly loss of property and lives from
floods along the lower Colorado Riv-
er.-ECIC BULLETIN.
