i INDEPENDENCE, Mo., — In a
telecast originating at the Tru
man Library, former President
Harry S. Truman expressed the
wish of many of his birthday mes
sages over KMBC: “I wish I could
persuade the clock to run back
ward and take off some of my 76
years.”
Yes, time is still rushing on
ward in these important days and
men should all ask the Lord: “So
teach us to number our days, that
we may apply our hearts unto
wisdom. -—Psalm 90:12.
The believer knows that no
matter how rapidly the years
pass, they are carrying him to
ward Heaven and Home to be
with the One who made the
greatest sacrifice, and whose gov
erment is everlasting.
— Isiahah 9:6, 7.
