The natural gas shortage brought
about by the severe winter of 1976-
77 has had some strange and
severe ramifications. At one point
it was estimated that one and a half
million people were out of work due
to the curtailment of fuel to their
industries. Many schools were
closed around the country. In
Buffalo, New York, alone, nine
people were found frozen to death
in their cars.
One week in January, when the
cold was most severe, the schools
in the city of Monroe, Louisiana,
were closed for a week. That does
not seem too unusual, because
schools were closed that week all
over the nation. These schools in
Monroe, like the rest, were closed
because of the short supply of
natural gas to heat the buildings.
What is unusual is that Monroe,
Louisiana, sits squarely on top of
one of the largets gas fields in the
United States.
That is not only ironic; it is

the job done. ‘‘l want all
volunteers and con
tributors to know that we
and particularly our 13
local United Way
agencies really ap
preciate what has been
done so far but it will take
a determined and
renewed effort to com
plete our job. It’s a great
ridiculous! Here is a city sitting
over the greatest reservoir of
power in the whole nation; but they
had to close their schools due to a
lack of power to heat them.
Yet, when you think about it, that
is not any more ridiculous that the
Christian who has at his disposal
the greatest power imaginable but
does not draw on it. The power of
the Holy Spirit was given in order
that the Christians might continue
the work of Jesus in proclaiming
God’s love and God’s moral
demands in a world which so sorely
needs it. Still, many live with
defeat, boredom, and a dragging
spirit when they should be living
with happiness, victory, joy, and
power. Christians are promised
power when they receive Christ
into their lives; and they are
assured that when they become
children of God, they receive the
Holy Spirit.
The word translated “power” in
English is dynamis, the root for our
words dynamite and dynamo. Let
us stop crying about the moral
degradation of this world and use
God’s power to make things better.

something back into our
community which has
served us so well. We are

hard to insure the success
of our campaign this
year. The 13 agencies and
the people they serve are
depending upon us, let’s
not let them down.”

Thought for the week:
This week is set aside as a
week of “Thanksgiving”
not only to God, but to
our friends, our churches,
etc. There are many
things that appear trifles,
which greatly tend to
enervate the soul, and
hinder its progress in the
path to virture and glory.
The habit of being thank
ful and humble to God,
ourselves and our
fellowman grows weaker,
if we do not endeavor to
do that which is right in
every particular cir
cumstance.

Doctor's Books Reviewed
The November meeting
of the Wednesday Af
ternoon Book Club was
held at the home of Mrs.
Frank Pate with nineteen
members and one visitor
present. Following a brief
business session, the
president, Mrs. Ed
Weaver read a poem
entitled “A Boy in
Autumn”, written by
Perry's own David
Ogletree. The program
committee chairman,
Mrs. Hugh Lawson, in
troduced the reviewers
for the afternoon.
Mrs. Cohen Walker
reviewed Elizabeth
Morgan’s The Making of
a Woman Surgeon. This
book, published this year
gives an account of the
author’s experiences
during her un
dergraduate work at
Harvard, her medical
school education at Yale
and finally, her years of
training as an intern and
resident in surgery. She
vividly describes some of
the frightening aspects of
the study of Anatomy and
the physical and mental
stresses undergone as an
intern and resident.
Writing from a
humourous but sym
pathetic viewpoint, she
frequently brings to life
many of the patients she
knew during the times
that she was “on call”.
The author, now a
specialist in Plastic
Surgery, writes a mon
thly editorial for
Cosmopolitan Magazine,
but this is her first
published book.
The members of the
club were delighted to
have as their guest, Mrs.

happened to be on a
cultural exchange visit to
the Soviet Union when he
first became ill. This
book is the story of his
extremely serious and
mysterious illness and
especially of his own
reaction to it. While he
doesn’t imply that his
recovery was easy, he
concludes that an op
timistic attitude, the will
to live, and the
mobilization of the
natural resources of mind
and body helped to bring
it about.
The co-hostesses for the
afternoon were Mrs.
D.M. Ryle and Mrs. H.E.
Weaver. Using the
Thanksgiving theme,
they served a delicious
and pretty salad plate.
