The Griffin Daily News has
published Dr. Billy Graham’s
column on its Editorial Page for
a number of years and is
pleased to do so. This week in
special observance of Dr. Gra
ham’s Crusade in Georgia, it is
appearing in this space on Page
One. Later, it will return to its
usual position on the Editorial
Page.
There is a person in our
church who is under 65, and yet
has been on Social Security
disability for several years. He
runs a pulpwood business,
drives a tractor, goes fishing,
etc. How can he be a Christian,
however, and persist in
something that seems so
illegal? A.E.T.
If you check with your local
Social Security office, you will
discover they operate under
rather strict rules. In order to
qualify for disability payments
before age 65, I am told you
must have worked five of the
last ten years, and be totally
disabled—a fact which must be
medically verified.
Now, obviously, a heart
patient, for example, can still
go fishing, and appear to lead a
somewhat normal life, yet not
be able to be employed.
Perhaps this is the case with
your friend, or it may be that
disability payments are coming
from some other source.
In any event, you make a
valid point about the im
portance of appearances. There
is an absolute need in Christian
living for honesty and integrity.
Nothing is so destructive of
Christian influence as shabby
living, that denies the very
principles which the believer
professes.
Your letter is a good occasion
to recall the words of Paul in
Romans 12:17, “Do things in
such away that everyone can
see you are honest clear
through.” Humanly speaking,
that’s impossible, but thank
God, He not only gives the
precepts, but the power to obey
them.

Talks ending cold war
SAN CLEMENTE, Calif.
(UPI) — Holding their final
summit talks today at the
California White House, Presi
dent Nixon and Soviet leader
Leonid Brezhnev arranged to
complete work on a 20-page
communique signaling the end
of cold war relations between
the two superpowers.
The 66-year-old Kremlin lead
er was in an ebullient mood
when he stepped down from the
“Spirit of ’76” with Nixon
Friday for a short weekend
stay at “La Casa Pacifica.”
Smiling and waving, acting
much like an American politi
cian, Brezhnev kissed two little
girls on the cheek when they
greeted him on the presidential
estate.
Brezhnev, obviously enjoying
the change of scenery, was
soaking up the California
sunshine and the beauty of the
Pacific Ocean. He planned to
take time out this afternoon to
tape a nationwide broadcast to

Royce Hawkins said only
Joseph P. Kerwin, also a
doctor, was in worse shape
after the strenuous trip than
expected. He said Charles
“Pete" Conrad was in surpris

J. Weitz was about average.
Hawkins said at a news
conference Friday night in
Houston that Kerwin’s condition
is only temporary and should
be much improved after a good
night’s sleep and he has more
time to readapt to earth
gravity.
“I have no doubt that Joe as
well as Paul and Pete will all
bounce back,” the doctor said.
“It’s quite possible Joe might
be a little longer. But I have no
doubt he’s coming back.”
Conrad and Weitz on Deck
Conrad, 43-year-old veteran
spaceflier, and rookie Weitz, 40,

The two leaders have struck

Nixon was intent on giving
Brezhnev a glimplse of scenic
America. Flying to California,
the President’s plane circled
the Grand Canyon so that the
Communist chief could see the
spectacular colors of the rock
formations.
“It’s certainly very beautiful,
Mr. President, very beautiful,
indeed,” Brezhnev observed.
“But another thought which
comes to mind—it’s a pity that
it’s so barren. But all countries
have such places. Are there
any inhabited areas?”
