Jack Hershey was on his way |
home from work where he drew
wire in a steel factory. Taking a
short cut, he fell into a muddy
ravine and was trapped in the
morass. It was getting dark when
a fellow worker by chance saw
what looked like a head lying on
the mud. Hershey had sunk down
to his chin in the mud, and his
mouth was already full of it, so he
could not talk or call for help.
All he could do was move his eyes.
It took forty-five minutes for the
rescue party to pull him out, inch
by inch. How glad he was for that
passing worker who saw him !
- What a reminder to us all about
the grace and assurance which
Our Lord can and does give. “I
waited patiently for the Lord, and
He inclined unto my cry. He
brought me up also out of an
horrible pit, out of the miry clay,
and set my feet upon a Rock,
and established my goings.” —
Psalm 40: 1, 2
‘‘And He hath put a new song
in my mouth, even praise unto
our God.” — vs. 3.

‘Neither Side Will
Budge’ In Moscow
MacMillan Talks
KIEV. Ukraine, <£> — The Mac
Millan-Khrushchev talks have
ended with neither side “budging
an inch,” a British spokesman said
here Wednesday.
The only outstanding business
is agreement on a formal commu
nique next Monday, the spokes
man added. The communique like
ly would touch only slightly on
international affairs, and would
express agreement in principle to
have more trade and more cul
tural exchanges.
At the same time the spokes
man confirmed earlier reports that
the British Prime Minister’s visit
to the Soviet Union came perilous
ly close to ending abruptly in Mos
cow as a result of Soviet Premier
Khrushchev’s Kremlin speech.
These disclosures were made as
MacMillan flew here from Mos
cow. where he had addressed
stern words to Khrushchev in a
meeting at the Kremlin.
British sources said he had
warned Khrushchev that any at
tempt to interfere with Western
rights in Berlin would be fraught
with danger.
Khrushchev had planned to fly
to Kiev with MacMillan, buf the
visiting British Prime Minister
took off alone. Khrushchev was
not even at the Moscow airport
to see him off.
A British spokesman said
Khrushchev told MacMillan at a
meeting in the Kremlin he had a
bad tooth and must have it filled.
Diplomats wondered whether
this was a diplomatic illness.
