The NEWS means Business 1 TODAY'S THOUGHT By GENE TAYLOR More than a million hours have tick locked around the clock since year the hymn "I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR, MOST GRACIOUS 'LORD" was written. Throughout all Ihese hours, the hymn has provided millions of people with joy, with the blissfulness of a warm personal relationship with God.

In unprediclable hours to come, uncountable multitudes will continue to be comforted with the meaningful hymn. No one knows what the future holds. For some of us there will be.8,760 hours in the next year. There will be less for others. Regardless of the number of hours, a need for God's help wil! be evident in 'one way or another.

We may think at times lhat He is not mindful'of our needs. As and when we think that, we will be mistaken. "Your father knoweth what you have need of, even before you speak" proves the mistake. In human frailty we may not be able to see eye to eye with Him in the way He supplies our need, but this is only because of His infinite wisdom and total sovereignty. We can be sure He understands our ways, even if we can not understand His ways.

This is all the more reason why we need Him hour. GENE TAYLOR, TAYLOR FUNERAL HOME 712 Chestnut Street Diol 272-4634 Mrs, Hester G.
