Con See It All in Maine

The alternative is to go to
the Bangor-Bar Harbor area of
Maine this Saturday, or to Mays
Head, N. c., in 1870. These two
total eclipses, plus one visible in
the Pacific Northwest on Febru-
airy 26, 1879, are the only ones
this country will see In the rest of
the Goth century.
AS this indicates, total eclipses
are rather rare. Worldwide, they
average about 240 per century, but
each total eclipse covers only a
small area and most occur over
oceans, in inaccessible areas, or
when the weather is bad. The
chances Of any given locality
seeing q total eclipse are rather
slim-once every $50 years, on the
average. There has never been q,
total eclipse visible from WASH
ington in the recorded history of
the region; in fact, in the last
1000 years only eight have even
come close.
The last close one was May %,
1900, when the sun was COM
pletely BACKED out at Norfolk.
and before that August z, 1869,
with totality at Bristol, va.-Tenn.
President Mckinley viewed the
1900 eclipse from the deck of the
dispatch boat Dolphin, and his
awe at the sight was duly re-
ported by a staff reporter of The
Star.

 Lombard, after five previous attempts, was the victor in the Anchorage Fur Rendezvous World Championship Sled Dog Race last weekend, the first Outside mush- CT to capture the Anchorage championship. He had previously won all other major dog racing events in North America.
 n+bor ponIa1uo,,c champions, George Attla and Gar eth Wright, were also to have en- tered the Kenai-Soldotna races as were such well-known mushers as Bergman Sam, Orville Lake, Earl Norris, Jimmie Malemute, Joe Redington, Bob Barclay, Joe Brandon, Clyde Bastian, and many others.
 Attla won the Anchorage race last year and placed third this year. He was the second place winner of the 1862 Kenai-Soldot- ma event. Wright, prior winner of two Rendezvous championships and many other major racing events, placed fifth last year in the Peninsula races and was sev- enth in the Anchorage competi- tion last weekend. Bergman Sam was last weekend's seeond-place Rendezvous winner,
 Local mushers had also been placing high hopes on Joe Bran don of Anchor Point this year. The hard working musher had purchased several dogs from the Koyukuk area on the Yukon where many of the winning teams have originated and is reported to now have an exceedingly fast and sturdy team. Brandon placed third in the 1862 Anchor Point Snow Festival race and was in seventh place in the first Alaska State Championship Sled Dog Races last year with much weaker team.
 Despite cancellation of this years big local event, plans are already in the making for another race to be scheduled next year with hopes that trail conditions may be more favorable.

GOD IN COURTS OF
JUSTICE

11;72:1-4; 81 Print - Psalms
72:4; 80
MEMORY SELECTION
For the righteous Lord Low
eth righteousness; his counte-
nance doth behold the up
right. - psalm HID. The
Lord is righteous, holy and
just. These are moral attrib-
utes and involve the will of
God. The Lord loves right
eousneSS and hates iniquity
Persons love according to-
their nature. Since the Lord is
infinitely righteous, He loves
righteously. His countenanceI
b h o ! d the upright. This
means that the Lord looks up
on the upright in heart with
pleasure and approval. God
loves those who in nature are
after His own heart. The
more a person loves right
eousnesS the more he will hate
iniquity. These are virtues
which delight the Lord.
A PRAYER FOR THE KING
TO BE COMPASSIONATE
AND JUST:
The writer knew that no
king could rule any people as
God would want him to rule
without being endowed with
the Spirit of Gods will for His
people. If the king possessed
the Spirit of Gods judgment,
then he would render deci-
sions that would be just and
pleasing to God, who was King
of Kings. With this spirit pre-
vailing even the least in his
kingdom, the poor and needy,
who SO often were victims of
injustice and unrighteousI
judgments would be treated
and judged equally with ALL
other people under his reign.
If the king realized that his
subjects were Gods people,
whether rich or poor, and that
he was only Gods appointee|
for this task then he would not
forget that Gods justice was
for all. To follow the Spirit of
Gods judgment in the land
would bring a period of pros
perity to the king and his peo-
pie. Even the hillsides and the
mountains would d produce
abundantly. The writer sets
an example for us. All men
should pray for the leaders
of nations. Especially the
Christians should pray for
them. Intercessory prayer is
always good. If we want God
to lead and guide our leaders,
then we must ask God to do
it. Prayer helps all of us and
it is no harm to pray for 9TH
ers as well as for ourselves.
True, leaders must pray for
themselves, but we have al
responsibility to pray for them
also. Our text here brings US
to a consciousness of this re-
sponsibility to our leaders of
our nation and of the world.
GOD PRONOUNCES JUDO
MENT OF THE JUDGES OF
THE EARTH:
They are on trial before
God. God denounced their un-
just judges. He condemned
their wickedness. They were
to be shown no partiality to-
ward anyone or any group.
This they had failed to do, and
God was not pleased with
them. They stood guilty be-
fore God. Guilty of mis-us-
ing justice, guilty of failing
God who had placed them in
the worthy position of judge.
What made it so bad they
had wilfully and deliberately
The Mississippi enterprise., 1963-06-15

were evil, they were men who
loved darkness rather than
light, thus they walked about
in darkness. Their capacity
of justice and righteousness
had become dull and darken-
ed. They had become void of
the knowledge and under
standing of right and wrong.
Because of this all of the prin-
ciples of morality, which is
the foundation and basis of
the life of man on earth were
not only shaken but falling
down. Injustice and unright-
eousness will d e troy and
wreck any society. God is the
judge of all judges. He is
God of the whole earth, and
the ruler of all men, there
fore God is in position to con-
denim all unjust leaders and
judges.
God is still judging by the
same standards today as were
used in this lesson. Woe unto
the leaders and judges who
will not rule in the spirit of
the justice and righteousness
of God. Jesus came once to
this earth as Saviour. He is
even now Intercessor, our Ad-
vocate with the Father. But
the day is coming when He
will return as Judge. AS Judge
He must perform His duty in
keeping with the nature of His
Offioo

PRACTICAL POINTS ON
THE LESSONS:

A1E A4IOkOOxN0s
Our lesson today finds the
Psalms pleading for the Spir-
it of Gods justice, and Gods
righteous judgment to prevail
in the Court of justice in their
land. Above all he wanted this
Spirit of Gods righteous judg-
ment to prevail in the Court
of justice in their land. Above
all he wanted this Spirit of
Gods righteous judgment to
rule in the heart of the king
who had been given the re-
sponsibility of administering
justice. Too often Israel had
been under kings who did not
administer justice to all of the
people intheir kingdom. This
was not what God desired in
the k ingS who ruled His
people. 1t is not what God
wants In national and world
leaders today. All men are
the creation of God. They are
to be respected and treated
in that way, and until this is
done there can be no true
rendering of justice in the
courts of justice in any land
or age. The source of justice
is God. The standard of just
ice is divine. God is a God of
justice and righteousness. He
is a God who is just in His
dealing with all men. The spir-
it of righteousness and justice
should prevail in the lives of
all people.
