Once / read a little poem that
/ liked very much. ] cant re-
call its rhythm or rhyme, but its
message stuck fast in my mind.
The truth the poem taught was
this: Cod has put US on the
earth to make it a better place
in which to live. But we often
ask ourselves how one small and
unimportant person can do any
thing in such a large and COM
plicated place as the world. The
poem answered the question by
saying, Just build a better
you"
This is a great truth. The
way to help the world is first to
make yourself better able to
help.
And strangely enough, the
wsw to become better is to help
other people. Actually, all you
need to do is just practice
Christianity-live it-lets it work
in your life. If it works in your
life, many other lives will be
helped.
Help someone else. When you
do, you help yourself. The story
is told about a man asking a
little boy, us your father, the
doctor, at home?"
mo, he's away" came the
answer.
Where do you think / can
find him?"
"Well," said the little boy
with a thoughtful look on
his face, you've got to look for

ABUNDANT LIFE
by ORAL RoBERrs
ARE YOU "A HELPER

or hurt or something like that
1 don't know where he i, bnl
he's sure to be helping some
where"
Gould this have been said
about you? Are you a helper
Helpers are the kind Of people
who change the world. They
are people who have discovered
abundant life. They are partners
with God.
If you want to discover how
to make yourself better, try ac-
tive Christianity. II IS not an
exotic life kept under glass or
confined within a laboratory,
abbey, cathedral Or monastery?
Ii is a life in tile world, binding
up Its bruises and healing its
diseases. Christianity is not an
ethereal idea floating around in
the sky. 1t is a man with feet on
the ground, going Gods way,
absorbed with His business and
praying, "Thy will be done on
earth as it is in heaven"
The person who dedicates
himself to helping others is a
happy person. He is happy be-
cause he is doing good. In his
own small way, he is making
his part of the world a better
place in which to live. And
since Cod is the author of good
things, the helper becomes q
partner with God, ministering
to the world.
This is the answer to abun-
dant life. 1t is available to you.
Why don't you try it?

COP. Bill
Asks Center
As Memorial

A Republican bill to make
part of the National Cultural
Center a memorial to Franklin
Delano Roosevelt was intro
duced today in the House.
Representative XVI, Republic
can Of Iowa, also proposed ex-
panding the center'S perform
ing functions. Contributions
would be audited by the Fed
eral comptroller and 100000
from the annual Federal pay
ment to the city would go to
the center.
Chairman Buckley Of the
House Public Works Committee,
has asked for an extension
from September 2, 1868, to
September 2, 1866, as the dead
line for raising enough vol
untary money to start work
on the center, scheduled now
to rise on a congressionally
authorized site In Foggy
Bottom.
Twelve board members, in
stead of the current eight,
would run Cultural Center af-
fairs. Mr.. XVI Incorporated the
deadline extension and the
board expansion in his bill.
which would revolutionize the
concept Of the center itself.
A multi building Cultural
Center is envisioned in the
XVI bill.
At least one of its audi
forums would be built on the
27-acre site along the Potomac
River now reserved for a
Franklin Roosevelt memorial
and named for him.
The XVI proposal also would
direct the National Capital
Planning Commission to rec
ommend sites for additional
auditoriums. with special con-
sideration to the downtown
business section among other
provisions.
