Celebrating Girl Scout Week, a Promise Circle was held
at Scout’s Park, hosted by Junior Troop 173, There was a
flag ceremony, Girl Scout Promise, songs, a “Bubble Gum
Blowing Contest,” closing with the “friendship squeeze.”
Planting of flowers and seeds was postponed because of
wind.
Q. How can we learn to ac-
cept it when God takes a
child?
A. God may transfer our
children to his home at any
time. If Jesus were to come
today and say, “I want to take
over all the teaching and train-
ing of your little boy,” you
would gladly let go of his hand
and place it in the hand of
Jesus, wouldn’t you? The
Christian has the sure prom-
ise from Jesus that “I will not
leave you comfortless: I will
come to you.”
Learning how to cope with
death may help many people
live better, hope-filled lives.
Helpful insights may be
found in this new book, now
available at bookstores across
the nation.
The next time you turn off
the lights, take off your glass-
es and get into bed you may
want to think about three
men who may have helped
you do so.
Many people don’t know
that the man who gave us
electric light, Thomas Edison,
had only three months of for-
mal schooling and began his
professional life at age 12. He
eventually had over a thousand
patents to his name.
If those glasses you removed
were bifocals, you have that

If you get a good night’s
sleep in that bed it may be
because of the ingenious idea
of Angel Echevarria. He came
up with the idea of the hybrid
water bed to eliminate the
weight and waves of ordinary
water beds and the pressure
points and hard spots that are
believed to disturb the rest of
those who sleep on conventional
mattresses. His Somma mat-
tresses are available at lo-
cal stores.

“Death is the enemy who
steals a young father and
leaves orphaned children...who
snatches a child before he
learns to play in the sunshine.
Every day of our lives we are
just a breath away from eter-
nity. Only the wisdom of God
can guide us at moments like
these.” Billy Graham.
“It’s hard to contain the
emptiness,” the poet wrote.
Yet death’s cruelest blow can
be faced with peace...whether
you’re coming to grips with
the death of a loved one or re-
ceiving the peace that flows
from the loved one’s assur-
ance of heaven. Billy Graham,
one of America’s foremost re-
ligious leaders, can show you
how.
Facing Death—And The
Life After, released by Word
Publishing, presents the an-
swers Dr. Billy Graham has
found, in his study of God’s
word, to critical questions
about death and the life after
that are being asked by people
across the world. Included:
Q. Is it wrong to be afraid
of death?
A. It is not a sign of weak
faith for the Christian to face
death with reluctance. The
apostle Paul confessed that
he was torn between the de-
sire to die and be with Christ
and the need to continue his

are modest in price and very
handy to have.
• A beautiful decorative
accessory that a collector
would be proud to own, such
as one of the M.I. Hummel
figurines by Goebel of West
Germany. A favorite collect-
able throughout the country,
these figurines depict a vari-
ety of adorable children. Beauti-
fully handcrafted, they work
well with today’s country-living
decorating trend and bring a
touch of home to any office.
• A paperweight. Almost
anything will do, so long as it
has special meaning. A bronzed
baby shoe, seashore shell,
rock, or specially crafted ob-
ject can weigh down workpa-
pers with a light, loving touch.

Benjamin Franklin was farsighted enough to invent
bifocals, among many other accomplishments. Thomas
Edison gave us the electric light and over 1,000 other
items. Angel Echevarria created a new kind of mattress
that gives many the rest they need.__________________
