Historic Houses
AUSTIN—Hasty res-
toration of historic
buildings is a no-no, says
Wayne Bell, a restora-
tion architect from The
University of Texas.
Historic houses can
lose their significance
and appeal if restoration
proceeds without ade-
quate research and doc-
umentation, he says.
Bell is training students
in those skills this sum-
mer at an institute at
UT's Winedale Museum
in Fayette County.
The students are
learning to measure 19th
Century structures,
draw elevations of win-
dow treatments and wall
decorations.

A MAN WHO NEEDED Si
ION
There was a man one time who tried to destroy
the church of Christ s;--erely, he believed its
members wert a and blindly following
an egomaniac, b • ; mgly did he feel about
this matter that h ave his time to having
these Christians thrown into prisons, and when
possible even led in putting them to death. He
believed with all his heart that he was right.
But one day when he was traveling to a large
city on a mission against the church in that
city a very strange thing happened. An
unusually bright light overwhelmed him, and a
voice called out his name from heaven. There
was no mistaking that voice, and he immedi-
ately saw Jesus who was on heavens throne. (1
Corinthians 15:8). When he enquired "what
must 1 do?", Jesus instructed him to go into the
city, and "you will be told what you must do"
(Acts 9:6).
You see, this religious experience of Saul of
Tarsus was not an evidence of salvation. It
was, rather, an experience of conviction that
Jesus was the Son of God, and that he was
terribly guilty of sin. He was not saved here at
the point of conviction. (Many people
erroneously believe that salvation comes at
such a time just because they are willing to
"accept Jesus as their personal saviour.")
Paul was ready to accept Jesus as his personal
saviour, but that was not enough. There was
somethng he "must do." Three days later,
after being led into the city and agonizing in
repentance and prayer, a gospel preacher was
sent to tell him "what he must do." What was
it? "And now why tarriest thou? Arise and be
baptized and wash away thy sins calling on the
name of the Lord" (Acts 22:16).
Many people today are told they are saved at
the point of conviction of sin and belief when
they are willing to accept Christ as their
personal saviour. Saul did all of these and then
fasted and prayed for three days, but his sins
were not washed away in the process. What
was lacking? What was necessary? He must
arise and be baptised and wash away his sins.
His sins were washed away at the point of
baptism. Not before. Did the water wash them
away? NO. It is the blood of Christ that
cleanses and washes away sin (Revelation
1:5), but the cleasing takes place when we are
baptised in obedience to Christ, buried beneath
the waters of baptism. We are raised out of
baptism into a new life. (Romans 6:4). It is
then that one is "born again" of "the water and
the Spirit" (John 3:5). We urge all men every-
where to "study" and "search the scriptures"
because only "the truth" will make men free
(John 8:32).

DA.
By David Anderson
My most engrossing pasttime is reading and learning
about history and finding out how things in the past can
effect the future.
I think I'm more the exception these days because
most students do not find history an interesting or even
useful subject.
Most students today are really into mathematics and
science and tend to scoff at people interested in history
1 because they say who wants to learn about dead
people.
While attending the University of Texas I took a
number of history courses because it's my favorite
subject and I needed something to offset the five
required math and science courses, which I did not
enjoy in the least.
Somehow I managed to get the 15 hours of required
math-science over with before my senior year—to my
great relief.
This allowed me to take a number of electives in
government, history, and economics and these courses
I really enjoyed.
I took courses on the history of Russia, Japan, the
Roman Empire, and the Islamic Empire and govern-
ment courses on international politics and western
European governments.
In addition I took the two basic introductory
economics courses and a third on international
economics.
What I enjoyed most about these electives was the
way in which they fitted together to give me a better
picture of world history as a whole.
Knowing more about other countries, their forms of
government, and economic and social systems made
me feel as though I had learned something really
useful.
It gave me the confidence to talk about other
countries with authority and refute commonly held
misconceptions.
I feel sorry for all the scientific and mathematical
geniuses with 4.0 grade averages who know nothing of
why the world is like it is today because they cannot get
into history.
I had several friends in computer science and
pre-med who really hated history and found it difficult.
They kept putting off taking the measly two courses"
of required American History until the last possible
semester.
Perhaps it's the way the university shoves 500
students into a room and lectures them on American
History that turned these people off.
In my opinion there should be as much required
history as there is required math and science.
This would allow students, who for the most part
have never been abroad but talk about other countries
as if they knew them, to learn why the world is the way
that it is and perhaps seek some solutions.
Just one example of a common misconception is that
most Americans think the communists took power in a
bloody revolution in Russia in February 1917. Not true.
The Russian revolutions (there were two of them) of
1917 were almost bloodless and not strictly communist
uprisings.
They were the results of years of autocracy and the
terrible suffering inflicted on the Russian people in
World War I due to the incompetence of the Russian
High Command.
The Bolsheviks (nee communists) were only one of a
number of revolutionary parties in Russia.
They came to control the country by systematically
eliminating their opponents and even their allies over
a number of years.
The power of the communist party over the Russian
and non-Russian peoples of the Soviet Union was not
finalized until the harsh rule of Joseph Stalin in the
1930s.
This is just one example of how historical facts can
be distorted or ignored due to politics effecting
peoples' opinions of other countries.
Ignorance of the true nature of other countries can
be a very dangerous thing because it spreads
unwarranted fear and hatred of foreigners.
The best example of this was in Germany's Weimar
Republic, which was unpopular from the start and
toppled from within by Nazi agitators playing on the
Germans' exagerrated fear of communism.
In conclusion, I think history is still of value in this
computer age because it explains why things people
take for granted are the way that they are.
TO THE
LETTERS
Dear Sir;
On behalf of the friends who worked and donated the
Cannady Memorial at City Hall, we wish to take this
opportunity to thank Quentin Hix and the City Council
for granting our wishes to beautify this spot. To Larry
Plummer and his department who offered their help in
securing fill dirt for the initial work and for watering
and caring for the plants.
We tried to make it as "maintenance free" as
possible, and hopefully as soon as the ground cover
grows, it will be, except for water.
Our aim was primarily to honor Mrs. Minnie
Cannady, a lady who loved and appreciated things of
beauty and was loyal to her home town of Cedar Hill.
We also hoped that by creating a small place of beauty
that others might get a glimpse of what we could do
and want to select a spot and honor others who have
lived, loved and contributed to Cedar Hill. If we would
do this, as we are motivated by love for someone, we all
could soon enjoy a prettier home town.
Sincerely,
Ann Permenter

Profit And Loss
"I counted dollars while God counted crosses;
I counted gains while He counted losses!
I counted my worth by the things gained in store,
But He sized me up by the scars that I bore.
I coveted honors and sought for degrees;
He wept as He counted the hours on my knees.
And I never knew till one day by a grave
How vain are the things that we spend life to save.
I did not yet know until Jim went above
That richest is he who is rich in God's love!"
These lines of Bishop Ralph Cushman make me
ponder:
(1) How much do I love those around me?
(2) How do they know I love them?
(3) Do I really care?
(4) What are the things in life that are most valuable,
most precious?
(5) Do I take time to show how much I love, how
much I really care?
(6) How much time do I find to pray, to think, to
meditate?
(7) Am I aware of how much God loves me?
Ponder — and pray.
"What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole
world, and lose his own soul?" ...Jesus in Mark 8:36
