The number of sharks defin- itely. proven to have attacked men are few. The great White shark or man eater, Carcharodon, the tiger shark Galeocerdo, and the hammer heads, Sphyrna, are all known to attack swimmers on oc- casjons, as has the remarkable freshwater shark, Carcharinus, of Lake Nicaragua. Other sharks, which should be regarded with suspicion, are lemon shark, Hy- oprion, the great “blue shark, Pri- onace, the mako shark, Isurus, and certain of the larger ground sharks belonging to the genus Carcharinus and related to Lake Nicaragua species. An uninjured swimmer may consider himself relatively safe in water, unless he encounters one of the larger more dangerous species. An injured and bleeding Person, on the other hand, is in much greater danger from large and small species alike. An un- usual accident involving a student of Marine Biology of the Univers- ity of Miami occured in the Flori- da Keys and was ° witnessed by several persons. The student was bitten withoyt provocation on the upper part of the thigh.by a shark 2% feet in length. Although the shark was not positively identified, it was believed to be young nurse Shark, Ginglymostoma, a species to man. The small wound healed quickly without complications. it had a year earlier. Congress. has taised its borrowing authority to 8% billion, so it can take care of this year’s expected surplus.

In the wall engravings that have survived these 3,000 years, she ap- pears as a slim and beautifully formed woman, almost as tall as her husband, the king. And this is a description of her in the words of some forgotten writer—. “The heiress, great in favor, lady of grace, sweet of love; mistress of the south and north, fair of face, gay with the. two plumes, chief wife of the king, whom he loves, lady of the two lands, great of love, Nefertiti, liv- ing forever and ever , eae But in the city where. this ap- Pears, there is a ruined building that breathes of tragedy. It evi- dently was her home and it indi- cates that after Perhaps 14 years of perfect marriage, she left the Palace and her husband never to return. Why? Did she quarrel with the king and leave voluntarily? Or was she sent away, blasted by some terrible disgrace? The secret has never been unlocked, but here is the story up to the point where it disappears in voiceless dark. | Her husband, Akhnaton, was an extraordinary man. If you read that excellent book, “The Egyp- tian,” you learned a good deal about him. He is known as the “great heretic,” He broke away from the power- ful and established priesthood that had gripped Egypt for thousands of years before his day. He intro- duced the concept .of.,a. single deity—an astonishing forerunner of Christianity—eliminated the ele- ments of fear and dread that characterized the old.,.religion, In short, he abloished the thou- sand gods and demons of the old ways, and taught his people to wor- ship in a spirit of joy and light. Again, the parallel between these Patterns and the Christian concept, which was to appear many cen-, turies later, is almost startling. Meanwhile, his life with his queen, Nefertiti, must have been a.romantic idyll. ekhe engravings show them in sharming poses.....the king with his: arm around her.....supporting her in a chariot.....holding her hand ashe dispenses gifts.....the king and queen playing with their daughters. ‘Then something happened. She left him and went to live in a house on the north side of the royal capital that he had built. Nobody knows why. But there is a theory that in his later years, Akhnaton recoiled from the fearful step he had taken, the rejection of the ancient gods. Perhaps the priests slowly wore him down. There is a belief that Nefertiti, for political reasons, was an even more fierce enemy of the old. gods than he was. And perhaps this was the basis for a terrible quarrel that caused her to leave him. Her name was erased from many of the statues and much of the story has been lost. Which leaves room for the sce- nario writers to graft a happy end- ing on it. PRAYER A prayer, in its simplest defini- tion, is merely a wish turned hea- venward. —Phillips Brooks.

Ralph Rogers To Preach| On “The Loyal Lover” Sunday Love is the most abused and most misunderstood word in the world. I is used by the charlatan to wheedle securities from the un- suspecting widow, by the philan- derer to corrupt the virtuous, by the -hyprocrite to deceive his neighbor (but not God), Love is a reciprocal affection rather than a passion whereby. each participant respects the wel- fare of the other. Since God first loved us, the loyal lover respects the purpose of such affection and seeks to be worthy of such choice relationship. the Rey, Ralph Rogers will preach on “The Loyal Lover”. Mrs, William Robinson will be at the piano and besides special gospel hymns which the congrega- tion enjoys. — - Visitors find a most cordial welcome worshipping with this congregation. Mr. Rogers says of this subject which he has chosen, that it is the secret of Christian living and hap- piness. The atheistic governments which have ruled God out of con- sideration, propose a world of ha- tred, the anti-thesis of love. ‘Russian Commissar Quoted Anatole Lunacharski, the Soviet Commissar of ere said, (Congressional Record Vol. 77) “We hate Christianity and Chris- tians. Even the best of them must be our worst enemies. They preach love of one’s neighbors and mer- cy, which is contrary to our prin- ciples. What we want is hate... Only-then will’ we conquer the uni- verse.” If reports are true, the Russian citizen lives in fear of his life, Where fear is, there can ‘be no happiriess.

Figueroa (Comments On Bishop’s Talk “AS we are one,” John 17:11, These are Jesus Christ’s words as He prayed to God the Father as the supreme wish of His redeem- ing love to unite all men in a uni- versal fraternity of love and faith, Last Sunday morning at Evans ton, Illinois, the second great as- sembly of the World Council cf Churches had the opening worship service. Six hundred delegates represent- ing 161 churches from 48 different countries and 600 visitors met to strengthen the bonds of unity and fellowship in Christ, Methodist Bishop Bishop G. Bromley Oxnard of the Methodist Church preached the sermon, His subject was “We In- tend to Stay Together.” Bishop Oxnard said, “We are morally obligated to maintain free- dom and in cooperation to extend it until at last all men are free. Together we stand for the free mind in the free society, seeking the truth that frees.” Commenting on Bishop Oxnard’s address, Reverend Manuel Figue- foa, pastor of El Salvador Metho- dist Church ,said, “Yes, we seck to find a way to become one in Christ. For Christ and Him only will bind together all men in a great universal brotherhood. It is we when we give emphasis to somebody else or something else and not to Christ when we become divided. Christains Divided We know it is the anti-Christ spirit operating in the world to- day that causes so many divisions and subdivisions among Christ- jians. No church can declare herself to be the sole possessor of truth to the exclusion of others, and the only right we have to claim that we possess truth is when we de- clare and sustain that the Church of Christ is founded on the Rock of Ages —on the Lord Jesus only | Christ, our Redeemer.
