Hospice care makes it possible to get the end of life services you and your loved ones want and need. No vember is National Hospice Month - a time to learn about choices in end-of-life care and the hospice services in Albany and the surrounding area. Framed by the National Hos pice Month 2001 Quilt, the theme for this year is "Hospice Care" Comfort and Compassion When It's Needed Most." No Outcry in the Streets What of men who blow up a building containing a daycare center and a mother who drowns her babies? The Bible talks about ancient kings who engaged in such evil. “Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and he did not do what was right in the sight of the Lord his God, as his father David had done. But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and even made his son pass through the fire, according to the abomina tions of the nations whom the Lord had driven out from before the sons of Israel” (2 Kings 16:2- 3). Here is the mournful cry re garding the country where such things occur. ‘‘Alas, sinful nation, people weighed down with iniquity, off spring of evildoers, sons who act corruptly! They have abandoned the Lord, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, they have turned away from Him” (Isaiah 1:4). Is there a correlation between our lack of service to God and the eruption of evil in our land? The Bible suggests there is. The op posite also seems to be true.

Some 60 per cent of all hospice patients have cancer, and many have other con ditions such as heart disease or AIDS.
