nol wN SkU LM M11! Blj "Rock of Ages" And the Bible THE words of the well known hymn "Rock of Ages" can be coupled with quotations or paraphrases from the Bible in a very interesting way. Of course the song is not made up of literal quotations from the Scriptures, but the lines refer to passages whien are strikingly similar: Rock of ages, cleft for me. Psalm 8. Let me hide myself in thee. Exodus 33:22.

Let the water and the blood John 5:6. From thy riven side which flowed John 19:34. Be of sin the double cure; Kings 2:9 10. Cleanse me from its guilt and power. Isaiah 1:19.

Not the labor of my hands Psalm 69:6, Can fulfill the law's demands; Matthew 5:17 18, Could my zeal no respite know, Psalms 69:6. Could my tears forever flow, Psalm 6:6, All for sin could not atone; Hebrews 10.5 6. Thou must save, and thou alone. Hebrews 10:8 10. Nothing in my hand I bring; Isaiah 4:1, Simply to thy cross I cling; Galatians 6:14.

Naked, come to thee for dress, Romans 13:14. Helpless, look to thee for grace. Philippians 4:13. Foul, I to the fountain fly; Psalm 51:7. Wash me, Savior, or I die.

John 13:8. While I draw this fleeting breath, Psalm 103:15 16. When my eyelids close in death, Ecclesiastes 12:3 7. When I soar to worlds unknown, John 14:2 3. See thee on thy judgment throne, Matthew 25:31.

Rock of ages, cleft for me I Corinthians 10:4. Let me hide myself in thee. Psalm 17:3, The inefficient Library "my library is inefficient, and imprac tical, entertaining and unexacting Its members have come to me by chance and my momentary in clination." Joyce Kilmer.

Sincerely, THE SEC. Two Pressing Needs Shown In Alert Tests Problems Involve Traffic Handling, More Effec five Warning Signals From the experience of 50 practice blackouts in Pennsylvania since Pearl Harbor, the State Council of Defense con eluded today that two pressing needs stand out auxiliary traffic police and more effective air raid warning signals.

"The practice blackouts have been very successful," council of ficers said, "and have taught residents the necessity for thor ough preparation. "The most effective blackouts have been those given the mostj careful planning. Some were more extensive than others but all serv ed their purpose to show people what must be done if enemy war planes come." Dr. A. C.

Marts, director of the State council, has embarked on a campaign to obtain air raid alarm signals that can be heard by more persons. The director hopes a regional conference of defense officials will be held in Washington soon in an attempt to find a penetrating sig nal. The need for auxiliary traffic police was suggested by the Penn sylvania Motor Police. As a result, county councils have been asked to form volunteer traffic police groups with identifying armbands to stop traffic and make sure that automobile lights are turned oil. A mil nas been in troduced in the Legislature to give police powers to volunteer civilian defense workers.

Dr. Marts said the trend of the blackouts, all 15 minutes long, was toward county wide practices, rather than community blackouts Since the United States entered the war, communities or counties must gain permission from State councils so that airlines vill have time to notify pilots. 520 Motorists Lose Licenses Withdrawals During Week of March 6 Show De crease in the State Fifty one cards of drivers were revoked and 469 suspended during the week ending March 6, it was reported by the State Bureau of Highway Safety.
