existing holes, and 184

applications.

ed 2,826 applications for
permits to drill new oil
and gas holes, 75 appli-
cations to deepen, 231

MOMENTS FOR MEDITATION
Charles Dickens has one of his characters in David Copperfield - the Artful Dodger — state his
philosophy of life in one sentence: "Some people say the number '3' is lucky or the number '7' or '11.'
For me, the lucky number is number '1'.'' On the basis of that philosophy, the Dodger lives by stealing
to satisfy "number 1," himself.
Actually, there are three lucky numbers: One, two and three — God, others and then self.
God must be number one in any life that is to be lived in true happiness. "Seek ye first the kingdom
of God," Jesus said, "and all these things shall be added unto you." The Psalmist said it another way
as we paraphrase the first Psalm: "Happy is the man .. . whose delight is in the law of the Lord."
Others must be the second lucky number. Unselfish love of one's fellowman is a cornerstone in the
building of a happy life. The very spirit of God Himself is mirrored in the habits of a man who truly
seeks the good of others in his life.
Self comes third - always! You too must make your way through this world. And you do it best
when God is supreme in your heart.
