“Sun of My Soul, Thou Savior
Dear”, and “New Every
Morning is the Love” are
among the best known of the
many hymns written by John
Keble, the English poet-hymno
dist. Both are highly rated
among “first rank” hymns in
AngeKcan Hymnology.
William Stead in “Hymns
That Have Helped” says “John
Keble believed in the ‘Ocean of
God’s Love’. This belief, in a
special sense, makes him my
brother.”
“Out of that ocean you and I
are sailing. The winds at time
are rough; the waves beat high.
But our Father is at the helm,
and the port is not far off.
There, with Keble and with all
of God’s saints, may you and I
find rest.” We like Stead should
be thankful that the “Ocean of
God’s Love” is fathomless, and
that the pilot of our ship is none
other than our Heavenly
Father.
The family of John Keble was
for his day and time very
prosperous. He received a
better education than the aver
age boy. His father and his
brother, both learned and well
educated men, were "his teach
ers. All his life he never lacked
anything needed to live a full
life. However, much of his
poetry showed he knew a lot
about the needs of the less
fortunate. Once he wrote:
Old friends, old scenes, will
lovier be
As more of heaven in each
we see;
Some softening gleam of love
and prayer
Shall dawn on every
CROSS AND CARE.
Portraits of Keble and His
friend J. H. Newman hang near
each other in the National
Portrait Gallery in London.
Many hold both portraits depict
the love and concern of the
Saints. Newman wrote the
music for that great hymn
“Lead Kindly Light, Amid the
Encircling Gloom”.
Cecil Northcott concludes his
discussion of John Keble thus:
Only, 0 Lord, in Thy
dear love
Fit us for perfect
rest above;
And help us, this and
every day,
To live more nearly
as we pray.

Chamber
raps
raises
WASHINGTON (UPI) -The
U.S. Chamber of Commerce has
branded as “obviously
inflationary” a Pay Board
decision allowing soft coal
miners pay boosts nearly three
times higher than the board’s
postrfreeze yardstick of 5.5 per
cent annually.
The 15-member pay board,
with its five public members
objecting sharply, ruled Friday
80,000 soft coal miners could
have a first-year pay increase
of at least 15.8 per cent
negotiated earlier this month.
The board decided the raise
was “not unreasonably
inconsistent” with anti-inflation
guidelines. Labor leaders hailed
the decision, but the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce
disagreed.
“The Pay Board’s approval of
the soft coal agreement puts the
future of the anti-inflation
program in serious doubt,” said
Arch N. Booth, the business
organization’s executive vice
president. “The increase in pay
and benefits is substantially in
excess of any acceptable
guideline and obviously infla
tionary.”
Booth accused unions of using
“arrogant threats of coercion”
to get their way.
“...It is difficult to conceive
how the vast majority of the
American people can be expect
ed to show the restraint
necessary to make tne anti
inflationprogramwork,” Booth
said.

tax vote
due Monday
WASHINGTON (UPI) -The
Senate has agreed to vote
Monday on a plan to finance
presidential election campaigns
through tax dollars —a vote
which Democrats believe could
determine the outcome of next
year’s race for the White
House.
After 12 hours of debate, the
outnumbered Republicans
agreed late Friday night to
permit the issue to come to a
vote.
But a condition for the vote
was made by the Republicans
who asked that consideration be
given to a proposal by Sen.
Charles McC. Mathias, R-Md.,
that taxpayers be able to
designate which party would
receive the funds.
“You can sell it to the
Indians —but you can’t sell it to
Pastore!” shouted fiery Sen.

they first offered the deal at

Under the proposed change,
the 53 delegates and 37 alter
nates who will represent
Georgia at the Democratic con

—Conventions in the state’s
10 congressional districts would
elect four delegates and three
alternates between March 1 and
May 1 of 1972.
—Those elected delegates and
alternates would then choose
13 more statewide delegates and
seven alternates at a state con

—Potential candidates at the

Previously, the delegation was

Carter, Caldwell feud
By TOM GREENE
ATLANTA (UPI) - The re
lease of Gov. Jimmy Carter’s
government reorganization pro
posals has sparked a bitter feud
between Carter and State Labor
Commissioner Sam Caldwell.
Caldwell labeled the proposed
changes Friday as an attempt
by the governor “to gain abso

of lying.
At a press conference at the
Georgia Association of Broad

Dredging on Flint River in
Clayton County which en
dangered Griffin’s water supply
has been ordered halted by the
State Water Quality Control
Board.
The board issued the
emergency order yesterday.
A board spokesman said, “We
are convinced that the dredging
operations already completed
constitute a threat to the public
drinking water supply in
Griffin. We have taken samples
which show it has violated the
stream standards of the state
Water Quality Control Act.”
The order was issued against
C. W. Booth Construction of
Jonesboro and the Flint River
Water and Flood Control
Association.
The dredging extends over
two and a half miles of the river
between Riverdale Road and
Georgia Highway 85.
A board spokesman said the
dredging was taking place even
though the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers has not issued a
permit for it.
If the dredging is not stopped
immediately, he said, the Water
Quality Control Board will go to
court to seek a restraining
order.
Griffin City officials huddled
yesterday on what steps to take.
The possibility of court action to
halt the channelization was
considered here.
City Manager Roy Inman and
Harry Simmons, director of the
water filter system in Griffin
discussed the matter yesterday.

BANNING, Calif. (UPI) - Smiling and
with arms linked, two blonde youngsters
and their American foster parents came
out of hiding Friday after an appeal court
judge ruled the children need not return to
their mother in Czechoslovakia.
“We’re just ecstatic,” said foster
mother Mrs. Roy Smith, whose eyes
brimmed as she and her husband stepped
into their home again with their foster boy
and girl.
Vlasta Gabriel, 8, and her brother, Firtz,
7, still confused at their role in an
international custody struggle, have been
living for two years with Mr. and Mrs. Roy
Smith in this community south of Los An
geles.
Upon the death of the youngsters’ father,
Frederick, they were declared wards of
the court. But their mother, several
months ago, brought custody action
through the Czech embassy. She wanted to
have her children back after nearly four
years.
The last Fritz and Vlasta recall of their

calling them “patently untrue.”
He also vowed “fight them,”
referring to those state officials
who have indicated they will op

Under reorganization, the in

sion would be moved from the
state labor commissioner’s of

He said once his proposals
