Page 2 - Mount Joy Bulletin —EDITORIAL— “If a man must die before his time, is there a greater memorial to his years on earth than the knowledge that he helped give life to someone else?’’ April 25, 1973 A few brief days ago a promising young life was lost on a back road of East Donegal township as 15-year-old Ramon Sell was running with his fellow members of the Donegal high school track team. A conscientous boy with more accomplishments behind him than some people of mature years can count for themselves, he was working hard — doing road work — to build his body for achieving still other goals in schoolboy athletics. But, in a twinkling, in a fateful accident, he was cut down and now is gone, long before his time. At 15, his promise of life was glowing, vibrant with the ex- pectation of a good life. As a community contemplates the tragedy, there are those who mention memorials of one kind or another. A “fund”, perhaps...maybe a ‘‘tree’’...others. We suggest that already a start has been made on a certain kind of memorial in his memory. Immediately after the accident, Donegal high school athletes were barred from doing further “road work” off the school property. It was explained at the time of the accident that “all of the schools are doing it” - meaning doing road work on the public roads. Some schoolmen could not believe that athletes in their schools actually were running on the highways. Some learned, to their surprise, that, truly, groups of trackmen were doing just that, in the same way that young Sell was training. Already some schools prohibited such practice. If such action thus saves the life — or limb — of another young man, then Ramon’s loss has a certain memorial. But, if the friends who mourn his loss feel that his memorial should be even greater, they might all begin a concerted effort to stamp out “road work’ on the high- ways surrounding all schools — whether they be little- used back roads, secondary roads or along principal highways. A determined effort to contact every school principal and every track coach might well be made in a dignified and thoughtful manner, pointing out the perils. Every principal and coach in the county — yes, the state and maybe more — might well be contacted by letter, for road running is a wide-spread practice and all of it is potentially dangerous. A young life saved, is a life given. And, the words of experience, in Ramon’s name, could save another. And, just one young life saved would be the finest memorial any group of friends could possibly give to a boy who lived a brief, but tremendously successful, full life. besides Donegal have The Worry Clinic ___ by Dr. Geo.

By Martha Epler “THEN SINGS MY SOUL” by George Beverly Shea with Fred Baur Published by Fleming H. Revell, 1968 Almost all Americans are familiar with the name George Beverly Shea. He is known to us well as the golden-voiced singer ° who travels with and adds great dimension to he Billy Graham crusades.” “Then Sings My Soul’’ is George Beverly (“Bev”) Shea’s autobiography. The introduction to the book is written by a most appreciative and admiring Billy Graham, who has been B. Shea’s “colleague in evangelism’’ since 1944! Graham's regard for Shea is apparent as he notes, ‘‘His humility is genuine. His walk with God is sincere. He really means what he sings!” “Then Sings My Soul” begins with the author’s childhood. Shea speaks lovingly of his hard- working minister father and his musical piano-playing mother, who both were influential in his chosen career. Also spoken of to a great degree is his wife, Erma. Apparently, “Bev” and Erma had quite a “tenuous” relationship before their marriage, due mainly to the unusual length of their courtship. A humorous incident is cited concerning their actual wedding day. Bev and his best man were confronted with a flat tire on the way to the ceremony, and, as a result, kept the wedding guests waiting for over half an hour! Many such incidents are recounted and written - with a genuine warmth and feeling for humor that portrays the author’s personality so well. We feel that this warmth and humor account to a large degree for the personal success that Shea has enjoyed. Through reading “Then Sings My Soul” one gains an un- derstanding and appreciation for the many long hours of work and practice required to make a “good singer’ into a master of the art. Shea recalls the begin- nings of his career and the geople and places encountered on the way to his present day success. Always, however, he speaks of his success with great humility, attributing all triumphs to the Lord. It is indeed fascinating to read about the origins of many in- spired to write music to Rhea Miller's poem “I'd Rather Have Jesus.” When the author was young, his mother made an endearing habit of placing notes, poems, or essays on his violin case! Such was the case with “I'd Rather Have Jesus.” To Shea, “Melody just seemed to form around the words.” No other hymn has ever en- joyed the phenomenal success of “How Great Thou Art,” from whence comes the book’s title. One is absorbed with the fascinating story behind this great hymn! This book would be of great interest to anyone interested not only in Bev Shea, but to anyone interested in Billy Graham. The author recalls Graham'’s crusades in their earliest and humblest stages. He takes us into - the personal lives ‘of ‘such “greats” as song leader Cliff Barrows and preacher Grady Wilson. The reader feels a closeness to the Graham Team as he “visits” many of the famous crusades--at (Continued on Page 3) BARGAINS AT THE BULLETIN 300 UNPRINTED No. 6 34 Envelopes — *4.50 300 UNPRINTED No. 10 Envelopes — %5.00 Ream (500 Sheets) 8'2 x 11” white bond paper *3.50 (Two for *6.50) and other saturated fats found in the normal American diet, thus fared much better than those on the experimental diet of un- saturated fats.
