“Lord, It Belongs Not in My
Care” is the title of a hymn
written by Richard Baxter
(1615-1691). That is the tide used
today in those hymnals that
carry it
But the title used when the
hymn was first published in
Baxter’s Poetical Fragments,
in 1681 was much longer. Then it
was “Heart Employment with
God and Itself; The Concordant
Discord of a Brokenhearted
Heart.” Following the title this
was printed: “London, At the
Door of Eternity; Richard Bax
ter, Aug. 7,1681.” In an edition
of Poetical Fragments a year
later the title was cut down to
“The Covenant of Confidence
and Faith.”
This hymn is based on Philip
pians 1:21, “For me to live is
Christ, and to die is gain.”
This hymn was a great favor
ite of James Clark Maxwell,
Professor of Experimental
Physics at Cambridge. He
frequently repeated it during
his last illness. It was Dr. Max
well who discovered the electro
magnetic character of light. It
was Maxwell who said: “I think
men of science as well as other
men need to learn from Christ,
and I think Christians whose
minds are scientific are bound
to study science that their views
of the glory of God may be as
extensive as their being is cap
able of."
Richard Baxter, born at Row
ton, Shropshire, England,
November 12, 1615, was an
interesting man whose life was
filled with paradoxes. He had
little formal education, but his
literary output totalled more
than 250 publications. Though
he held pastorates in the Church
of England he was more a
Presbyterian in his belief.
Though he defended the
monarchy, he was at one time a
chaplain in the army of Crom
well.
Baxter finally was arrested
and charged with having libeled
the Church in his essay
Paraphrase of the New Testa
ment. He was found guilty,
fined 500 marks and ordered to
serve in prison until the fine was
paid.
After he had been in jail 18
months, his health completely
broken, the government, hoping
to win him to its side, released
him and remitted the fine. He
was warned to stop preaching.
But this warning did not stop
him. He was a man of great
courage and began all over
preaching against the evils of
the day.
In his last years, racked by
pain and at times almost help
less, he was often carried into a
pulpit, where he would preach,
dinging to the altar to prevent a
foil.
He died in London, December
8, 1691.
The last thing that he wrote
was Everlasting Saints’ Rest.
Although a devout Puritan he
did not join in their disapproval
of music; always he champion
ed it. He explained:
“I have made a psalm of
praise in the holy assembly the
chief delightful exercise of my
religion, and my life, and have
helped to bear down all the ob
jections I have heard against
Church music.”

Big day for Tricia, Eddie
By HELEN THOMAS
WASHINGTON (UPI) -For
Tricia and Eddie, today was the
day.
Their once-secret romance
reached a storybook climax at
a (4 p.m. EDT) White House
wedding.
The marriage service, written
by the bride herself, was
notably brief. But it contained
all the vows and promises
needed to transform Miss
Patricia Nixon, daughter of the
President, into Mrs. Edward
Finch Cox, wife of a third-year
law student at Harvard Univer
sity.
It was a stately ceremony,
right out of Emily Post, with
the bride in an exquisite white
lace, low cut, sleeveless gown
with a court train designed by
Priscilla of Boston, and her
attendants in silk organdy
dresses of mint green and lilac.
The groom, the father of the
tride, and the groomsmen were
turned out in formal cutaways,
striped trousers, wing collar
shirts, Ascot ties and grey
gloves.
For President and Mrs.
Nixon, it was a day of mixed
emotions, as wedding days
always are for the parents of
much-loved daughters. They
were proud that Tricia had
chosen such a tall, handsome
and well-born young man. They
were saddened by the know
ledge that, with both daughters
married, they’ll henceforth live
alone in the isolated and lonely
splendor of the white house.
The petite blonde bride, who
demonstrated her independence
by waiting until she was 25 to
marry “my one and only love,”
composed her own marriage
service, adapting bits from
such diverse sources as the
Episcopal Book of Common
Prayer and Khalil Gibran’s
“The Prophet.”
The Rev. Dr. Edward G.
Latch, chaplain of the House of
Representatives and former
pastor of Washington’s Metro
politan Memorial Methodist
Church where Tricia worshipped
as a young girl, was the only
officiating clergyman.
His opening address to the
400 guests —composed about
equally of close friends and
people too important to be left
out —made an oblique bow to
Tricia’s Quaker ancestors by
substituting “Dear friends” for

NEW YORK (UPI) -A young
Haitian, demanding to be flown
to North Vietnam, shot and
killed a passenger who tried to
jump him when he hijacked a
jetliner in Chicago. He was
wounded in a shootout in the
air with a U.S. marshal and a
crewman and arrested today on
landing in New York.
The Haitian, identified as
Gregory White, 23, forced his
way on the Trans World
Airlines 727 jet at O’Hare
International Airport in Chicago
as passengers boarded for the
last leg of the Albuquerque,
N.M.-to-New York flight late
Friday night.
Stewardess Catharine Culver,
24, of Fond-du-Lac, Wis., tried
to stop him because he did not
have a boarding pass but before
she could call for help White
grabbed her and dragged her
from the front of the plane to
the middle of the cabin, she
said. “He has a gun,” she
screamed.
Most of the passengers, still
rear the forward entrance, ran
from the plane but one man,
Howard Franks, 65, of Darien,
Conn., rushed to the stewar
dess’ aid. Franks, a manage
ment consultant, scuffled with
the gunman and was shot to
death.
Holding Miss Culver hostage,

the traditional salutation,
“Dearly beloved.”
Dr. Latch, a white-haired
gentleman of fatherly mien,
cautioned, the bride and groom
that marriage will inevitably
bring sadnesses as well as
pleasures, failures as well as
successes.
“And so, unaware of what
definitely is before you, you
accept one another. To love is
to appreciate and cherish our
He also demanded $75,000
ransom and a machine gun and
ammunition.
As the crew persuaded White
to release the three passengers
trapped at the rear of the
plane, U.S. Deputy Marshal
Joseph Zito, who was assigned
to O’Hare to check passengers
for guns, crawled through the
cockpit window dressed in a
TWA flight suit.
Elder said later at a news
conference that to buy time he
told the hijacker they would
have to fly to New York to pick
up another plane because the
727 could not make the trip to
Vietnam. The airline prepared
a 707 at Kennedy International
Airport in case it was needed.
Miss Culver, who sat with the
hijacker at the start of the
flight, said he told her he left
Haiti several years ago and
lived in Chicago but he believed
he was “just destined to go to
North Vietnam.”
The stewardess described
him as “a very nervous type of
person” but said she was
impressed that “he really
seemed concerned for his
family.” Police in Chicago said
he had no criminal record.
About 30 minutes into the
two-hour flight, the hijacker
told Miss Culver he wanted to
“check out the back of the
plane.”

cabin, went into action.
“I took two shots at him in
the rear of the plane.” Zito
said. “He fell behind a seat.”
Unable to see the hijacker,
Zito handed his gun to First
Officer Ronald J. Dupuis, 31, of
Sparta, N.J., who shot twice
more.
The hijacker fired three shots
in return. One of them, Dupuis
said, “missed me by two
inches.” The bullet passed
through a crewman’s hat on the
cabin hatrack. The men and
Miss Culver stayed crouched
behind seats.
When the plane touched down
at Kennedy at 2:30 a.m., the
hijacker, bleeding from a
wound, shouted, “I’m hit. I’ve
had enough. I’m coming down.”
On the hijacker’s orders,
Miss Culver, Elder, Dupuis,
Zito and Flight Engineer Don
E. Welshimer of St. James,
N.Y., slid down an emergency
escape chute, leaving him alone
in the plane.
Spotting an FBI agent who
had climbed up the side of the
aircraft, the hijacker fired but
missed him. The agent fired
back, hitting the hijacker in the
Moulder, the FBI said.
White was arrested and taken
to Queens General Hospital
where he was reported in fair
condition.
White lived until a week ago
in an apartment house on
Chicago’s Lake Shore Drive.
“Who giveth Patricia to be
married to Edward?”
That was President Nixon’s
cue to deliver his one line
speech, surrendering his cher
ished elder daughter to the care
of Eddie Cox.
Attending Eddie as best man
was his brother Howard Ellis
Cox Jr., a 27-year-old Army
captain stationed at the Penta
