When we become mired in the routine of life, one day is like any other. This was just another working-day for most of the people in Jerusalem. Three men died on Calvary Hill. One of them was the Galilean! Business as usual in Jerusalem. Unless we understand the whole significance of what is happening we pay little attention . . . Do you understand what happened that Friday? Do you realize WHO hung on that central Cross? Do you know WHY He died? And FOR WHOM? There is nothing more necessary in our lives than the deep, personal knowledge of what happened that Friday ... and the Sunday following. Come to Church!

Another record? ATLANTA <A>) — When Atlan ta Braves’ slugger Henry Aaron cracks the all-time home run rec ord, he might also set another mark—the number of telegrams he receives. “We believe the baseball fans of America could set an all-time record for messages sent to an individual,” says E. O. Harbour, district manager of Western Un ion in Atlanta. According to Western Union records, evangelist Billy Graham received approximately 100,000 telegrams in 1962 urging him to endorse a particular political can didate. Anticipating the landslide of messages for Aaron, Western Un ion has agreed to set a flat rate of $2 each, with $1 going directly to the Hank Aaron Scholarship Fund. In turn, Aaron has pledged that half of each dollar donated will be diverted to the Babe Ruth Foundation in Baltimore. “It’s a load off my back,” said the Atlanta Braves' slugger after tying baseball’s most revered record by slamming his 714th home run in his first at-bat of 1974. Concealing the pressure of his long chase of Ruth’s record, Aaron said he’ll show more emotion when he claims the record-breaking 715th homer. “I’ll probably run around the bases backward,” said the re served superstar. Mrs. Ruth wished Aaron “luck and health” in his attempt to break the mark and continue on ward. Asked about their playing styles, Mrs. Ruth would not com pare the two formidable hitters/ “Babe was a pitcher as well as an outfielder, remember,” said Mrs. Ruth. “He was a great all- around player. And, really, he never thought so much of his home run record.” Senate approves Aaron looks on Pitcher laments WASHINGTON tff) — Hank Aaron’s 714th home run was for mally recognized in the U.S. Sen ate Thursday with a resolution of congratulations. In the House, the announce ment was greeted by a standing ovation. The Senate resolution was sponsored by Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, Minn., who said he is a fan “who loves baseball night and day.” Mrs. Ruth pleased NEW YORK <A>>—Like many other baseball fans, Mrs. Babe Ruth wasn’t surprised Thursday that Hank Aaron hit his 714th home run. “I’ve expected it for a long time,” said Mrs. Ruth after the Atlanta star tied her husband’s famous baseball record. “It came as no shock.” CINCINNATI (A*)—“Tying the record is great, but breaking it is another thing” Hank Aaron said Thursday after the 40- year-old Atlanta Braves slugger joined the immortal Babe Ruth as baseball’s all-time home run king. The soft-spoken Mobile, Ala., native talked of the initial ex citement, but said it was dulled considerably when the Reds stag ed a comeback for a 7-6 victory after trailing at one point 6-1. “It’s just another home run now,” Aaron said. “If we had won, I’d probably be over there in our clubhouse drinking cham pagne.” The game was halted for six minutes as Vice President Ger ald R. Ford and baseball Com missioner Bowie Kuhn congratu lated Aaron on the field to the cheers of the overflow crowd of 52,154. CINCINNATI <A>)_ “It was my mistake and he hits mis takes,” Jack Billingham said of the historic 714th home run Hank Aaron hammered Thursday to tie Babe Ruth’s all-time record. The 31year-old right-handed ace of the Cincinnati Reds said the Atlanta slugger ripped an outside fast ball for his three- run, first-inning blast in the Riverfront Stadium opener. “I threw the ball and it didn’t sink. It came into him over the outside of the plate,” said Billing ham. “He deserves it,” Billingham continued. “He’s the greatest I’ve ever seen. It’s unfortunate he hit it against me.” Let me show you the value differences in diamonds. You should know what you are buying. < / Carl Bussells x^Jiamond Room (713) 846-4708 Town &.
