VANCOUVER, BC — Rescue workers dig in the snow for
any sign of survivors at the site of an avalanche 28 miles
west of Terrace, BC. The snow slide came down on a gas
station-restaurant complex on highway 16. Seven bodies
have been recovered and one person is missing presumed
dead. There was one survivor, who was buried in the snow
for five hours before being rescued. (UPI)
Religion writer
Cassels is dead
WASHINGTON (UPI) -
Louis Cassels, United Press
International senior editor and
prize-winning religion writer
who covered nearly every
major religious and social
welfare story during the turbu
lent 19605, has died at his home
in Aiken S.C. He was 52.
Cassels, who had a history of
heart trouble, apparently suf
fered a coronary attack
Wednesday evening shortly
after finishing dinner at his
home, his wife Charlotte said.
A veteran of 32 years service
with UPI, Cassels was the
author of numerous magazine
articles and more than a half
dozen books on religion and
ethical problems in contempo
rary America—the field he
regularly covered for UPI.
His weekly column, “Religion
in America,” appeared in
afternoon papers; another,
“World of Religion,” was for
morning newspaper use. He
was the first wire service
reporter to write regularly and
in depth on religious news of
interest to every faith as a
topic of continuing importance
to secular newspaper readers.
Wrote on Other Topics
Although best known for his
coverage of major religious
events, such as the Second
Vatican Ecumenical Council, he
wrote penetratingly on topics
other than religion. Noteworthy
was a 4,600-word report for UPI
in 1967 titled “The Negro in
Revolt—What Now?”
An active Episcopalian
churchman, Cassels was keenly
interested in the problems of
youth. He was in Ohio on a
survey assignment in May,
1970, when the shootings oc
curred on the Kent State
University campus. He went
immediately to the scene to
help with the spot coverage of
the event.
Cassels was bom Jan. 14,
1922, in the small town of
Ellenton, S.C., where his family
operated a village general
store. After graduation from
high school, he enrolled at
Duke University with an
inclination to study for the
ministry.
But he found himself devoting
most of his time to working on
the student newspaper, The

Duke Chronicle, and decided
instead on newspapering as a
career.
Cassels commented years
later: “I would have made a
lousy preacher—and we’ve got
enough of that kind already.”
Cassels worked summers on
the Augusta, Ga., Herald,
became editor of the Chronicle
in his senior year and was
graduated from Duke Phi Beta
Kappa.
He Enters Air Force
In 1942 he was hired as a
radio news writer in UP’s New
York bureau, but a few months
later entered the Air Force,
becoming a lieutenant, and
serving in administrative and
intelligence assignments.
Mustered out in 1945, he
returned to UP in New York
and two years later was
transferred to the Washington
bureau. He was overnight news
editor for three years and
assistant day news editor for
two before being made general
assignment reporter, feature
writer and columnist in 1956.
He became a UPI senior
editor in 1967.
Among his awards was the
Supple Memorial Award of the
Religious Newswriters
Association for outstanding
coverage of religious news in
1967.
To his colleagues, he was
acknowledged as a crack
writer, admired as a warm,
charitable personality and cred
ited with being a connoisseur of
fine wine.
In a memorable passage
from one of his books, Cassels
wrote these words: “From
birth to death, we are
surrounded by marvels—not
least the shocking fact of our
own existence-which should
keep us in a state of continual
awe.”
Besides his wife Charlotte, he
is survived by a son, Michael.
Funeral arrangements were
incomplete but Mrs. Cassels
said he would be buried near
his Aiken home in a private
ceremony.

How
Paul
changed
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Press International
The Christian Church
throughout the world is cele
brating this week one of the
most important events of its
history.
It occurred in the year 33 A.
D. A zealous young Pharisee
named Saul was riding along a
dusty highway between Jerusa
lem and Damascus. He was
going to Damascus with war
rants to arrest and imprison
members of a new Jewish sect
called Christians.
Saul regarded Christians as
blasphemous heretics. For they
clamed the long-awaited Mes
siah had already appeared in
the person of Jesus Christ. Saul
felt certain Jesus could not
have been the Messiah.
Jesus had been ignominously
put to death by crucifixion, and
Saul could not believe God
would let that happen to the
real Messiah.
As Saul approached Damas
cus, according to his own
subsequent account, “a light
from the sky suddenly flashed
all around him.” He was so
afraid that he fell to the
ground.
Then he heard a voice saying,
“Saul! Saul! Why do you
persecute me?”
“Who are you, Lord?” Saul
asked.
“I am Jesus, whom you
persecute.”
Servant of Christ
Never has a single event
more thoroughly transformed a
man. From a persecutor of
Christians, Saul became the
greatest of all Christian mis
sionaries.
To symbolize his new com
mitment as a faithful and
utterly fearless servant of the
Christ in whom he had hitherto
disbelieved, he changed his
name to Paul.
Once he had overcome the
suspicions of the original
Christian apostles—who were
understandably wary of the
conversion of their former
enemy—Paul made three long,
hazardous missionary journeys
through the Roman Empire.
He concentrated especially on
the countries of Asia Minor on
the eastern end of the
Mediterranean, planting Chris
tian churches wherever he
went.
When problems or disssen
sions arose in one of his young
churches and he was unable to
go in person to resolve them,
Paul wrote letters to them.
Cherished and carefully pre
served by the early Church,
these epistles today form more
than half the text of the New
Testament.
Unshakable Conviction
Although we know much more
about Saul’s beliefs than his ap
pearance and personality, avail
able evidence and his own
writings indicate he was a short,
bald-headed, bowlegged man;
sensitive, proud and hot - tem
pered; afraid of women and
anxious to keep them “in their
own place” in the church; al
most totally devoid of a sense
of humor.
He suffered from a chronic
disease, probably epilepsy.
No one demonstrated better
than Paul the agony of the
human condition which he once
bewailed by saying: “The good
I would do, 1 cannot do, the
evil I would not do, I do.”
Paul was capable of great
love, magnanimity and forgive
ness. But he could also lash out
at critics with sarcasm.
