SPIRITUAL
TRUTHS
CLEANED FROM THE NEWS
Contributed BY
NOME GOSPEL HOME

A dear elderly Russian woman
who came to the United States SO
years ago, died while she was
paying her taxes. She suffered a
heart attack in the Hall of Justice,
and Records at Redwood City,
Calf, and authorities found this
last will and testament in her
purse:
81 give all the property of which
l die possessed to my Uncle Sam
Of America, who was help me to
adopt me. I was so happy to live
in America. 1 gratitude to only
Uncle Sam and he will know what
to do with my property"
We may smile at her grammar
and spelling; but we know, as did
Uncle Sam, just what she meant.
The hearts desire is what is most
important, and this is true in spiri-
tual matters too. After a person
has been saved by faith in the
Lord Jesus Christ, he is exhorted
to present his body "a living sac
rifice, holy, acceptable unto God"
Romans 12:D. He may not be able
to do it in manner understood
by others, but the Lord will I'M
derstand and accept the sacrifice
through his Son.
One hymn writer wrote of this:
"Naught that / have, mine own
I'll call,
I'll hold it for the Giver;
My heart, my strength, my life,
my all,
Are His and His for ever"
Another one wrote in these few
Here, Lord, i give myself away,
IT'S all that I can do"

New Niagara Slides Feared

NIAGARA FALLS, NY, R -
Large cracks at the crest of the
American Falls have stirred fears
of a third major rockslide that
could crumble a section about the
size of a football field.
The first slide, in 1854, tu1nbled
$4,000 tons of rock over Pros
pect Point. In 1856, 120,000-ton
slide destroyed most of a power
station, killing one man.

is successful, they say they will
ask Virginia electors to vote for
Sen. Byrd for President, and
Tom Anderson. Tennessee

vice president.
A second ballot will present
the names of U. S. Senator Will

A third ballot will contain, the
names of supervisors to be
elected to administer the Pied
mont Soil Conservation District,
and the federal programs in the
field of soil conservation.
Constitution Changes
The fourth ballot concerns two
changes in the State Constitution
which will be offered for the con-
sideration of voters In both, vo-
tiers will not actually change the
Constitution. They will merely
vote "for" or against" the pro-
posals, leaving to later legislative
action the actual changes, if
authorized
The first involves exempting
members of the Armed Forces
from registration and payment
of poll taxes in order to vote. The
Virginia Constitution now auth
orizes this exemption in time
of war The proposed amend
ment would eliminate the words
Tin time of war"
The other amendment proros-
es authority, not now available.
to permit voters in two or more
localities or counties to elect one
set of constitutional officials,
such as a sheriff or treasurer,
to serve both political subdivi-
SiOns.
All that would be required for
such consolidation would be that
"a majority of the qualified
voters of each political subdivi-
sion affected so decide in an
election held for that purpose.
If approved, such an amend
ment would allow two counties
to be served by one officer, or
permit a county and town to
consolidate two offices now per-
forming related functions into
one to serve both political SUBJ
divisions.

A second challenge, he de-
