Page Four TVS CLINTON CttKONICLE HwOTiay, Octob^ 7, IW4 Dr. Herbert Spaugh Everyday Counselor The Pastor’s Hospital Ministry,” by Richard K. Young (Broad- man Proas, NashviUe, Tenn., $2.50) is a new book which I highly rec- omand to all pastors and doctors and to those to whom the pastor ministers. The author, Dr. Young, is a clergyman, who, since 1946 hag been ministering to the patients of North Carolina Baptist Hos pital in Winston-Salem, and in training students in Pastoral Coun seling at the Bowmar^ Gray Medical School, which is operated in connection with the hospital. He is | Director of the Department of Pastoral Care of the School of Medicine and also is associate professor of pastoral care at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. At the hospital he conducts clinical courses in pastoral care. His wide experience as hospital chaplain has given him a wealth of clini cal material from his experience constantly dealing with the sick as a minister. The first chapter of the book deals with the pastor’s hospital ministry, including not only his Dr. Spaugh relations with the patients in the hospital, but also with the hospital personnel. Realizing the fact that many people, and even some ministers, are not fully aware of the proper technique of making hospital visits, he offers a number of warnings and helpful suggestions, based upon his experiences as hospital chaplain. There are other fine chapters in the book. One is on counseling. Another particularly good one is on the specific ministry of the pastor. The chapter of the widest interest is the first chapter which deals with the newly rediscovered relationship of spiritual and mental atti tudes with physical disease. This chapter, “The Healing Team,” de scribes the new' emphasis upon a right relationship between the doc tor and pastor in the treatment of disease. Dr. Young points back to the three-fold ministry of Jesus: preaching, teaching, healing. Jesus recognized the essential unity of a man’s nature. He did not treat the individual primarily as a body or as a soul, but ministered to the whole person, placing emphasis upon the totality of body, mind and spirit. He commissioned His followers to preach the gospel and to heal the sick. The early church carried out this commission. But gradually the church relinquished its healing ministry. It is only recently that the church Has realized its responsibility and today we find more ministers working with physicians in the treatment of disease Here is a very worthwhile and readable book. This is my own, my native land, as someone said. I am an American and proud of it, cher ishing our great history and re joicing in this wondrous lend of opportunity. This is the land of the Pilgrims’ pride; it is the ref uge of our ancestors who came from so many lessSavored coun tries because America offered opportunity. You must live in a foreign country in order to ap preciate fully this haven of man kind. When I am in this genial cli mate of South Carolina I am hap py to be a native Carolinian, but not arrogantly assuming any airs ov\er my friends of other states. I count myself rich in memories of friends who came from Geor gia, Florida, Alabama, Mississip pi, Louisiana, Texas, North Caro lina, Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kansas, Iowa, New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecti cut, Maine, Vermont. Having known so many fine people from and communication South Caro- Ina has arrived. The South Caro lina Research and Development Board is to be congratulated up on its presentation of the state’s story of progress and resourc es.” - The quotation is from Duke Power Magazine. * * » “Now that President Eisen hower has signed the amended Atomic Energy Act to encourage private industry’s participation, in development of the non-mili tary potential of atomic reac tors, it may be instructive to ob serve what has happened in only eight years to one of the first in dustrial uses of radiation. Con sider the radioisotope; and how it grew. A radioisotope is a minute ray dioactive element that gives out easily measured signals. Atomic Energy Commissioner Joseph Campbell once said of them that ‘we must put a scientific bell on ‘T did not rule that it would be legal or that it Would be il legal to nominate a man with the knowledge or understanding that he would withdraw and permit a substitute nomination,” Calliaon said in his statement to the News then went on to say he had sug gested some question might arise if the dummy candidate method were followed. THE ONE BOOK By JAMES C. KINARD sufficient evidence of the Bible’s beauty. The code of ethics given in the Sermon on the Mount, which Daniel Webster termed the greatest legal digest, the moral principles laid down in the Ten Commandments, the G o l d te n Rule of Jesus, the fiery zeal of Peter in his fearless preaching, the convincing logic of Paul in his letters, such parables as those of the Prodigal Son and the Good Samaritan, all testify to the Bible as a safe guide for right living. Even casual reading of this Book reveals here and there many a lovely gem.* But care ful and diligent study up untold treasures that grow richer with the passing years. On his deathbed the famous novelist. Sir Walter Scott, call ed for “the Book”. Asked what he meant, ha replied, ‘There is but one Book, the Bible.” Eoch Giant Got Series $12/000 Cleveland.

South Carolina is my subject for the moment. “South Carolinians have been conscious of progress in all di rections in recent years.

And this continues as increasing industry is accompan ied by an awakening as to the agricultural possibilities of the state, the diversification of its products and the conservation of the state’s natural resources of water and timber. Primarily a sound and stable government is responsible for I the state’s solvency. And there are two factors underlying this economic stability. First, in the financial basis of the State High way Department, secured by the gasoline tax, which cannot be diverted. Second, is the 3 per cent sales tax pledged to educa tional purposes. Transportation and education, the services mak ing the greatest demand upon public funds are provided for in South Carolina more definitely than in any other state, with which we are familiar. South Carolina is not one of the larger states in area, but be tween the sea and the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains it has just about everything in soil and climate the most discriminating prospector might contemplate. And in power, transportation the atom sheep which enables us to follow the flock’. Eight years ago there was no radioisotope in dustry. By the end of 1952 there were 75 instrument companies with more than 2,500 employees at work in this field, doing gross business of about $20 mil lion a year. The AEC now esti mates that the industry, continu ing its spectacular growth, will ^ross upwards of $35 million by 1956. The other side of the picture is that, where there were no in dustrial users of radioisotopes in 1946, there are now at least 860 in the U. S. alone. AEC estimates that American industry now saves something like $100 mil lion a year by using these radio active ‘tage’, and that within 10 years the savings will equal $1 billion annually. One of their more significant uses is in the inspection of met al, as in searching for flaws ip aircraft surfaces. The altema j tive for industry would be to use expensive X-ray machines. With the radioisotope, ^cobalt-60, a capsule weighing less than an ounce, and no bigger than tne eraser on the end of a pencil, is placed on one side of material to be inspected and a photo graphic film on the other. After exposure to the radiation, the developed film will accurately disclose any defects. Using co balt-60, this costs about $50; with alternative *methods, about $25,- 000. Since the radioisotope is a mere drop in the bucket compar- & to the enormous industrial potentialities of nuclear reactors, the foregoing suggests what is likely to happen on the vast frontiers now being opened up.” “I’ll have her reading the newspapers and the Bible aloud at home. One is for facts and the other for feeling and inter pretation and poetry.” This is the formula given by the director of a dramatics school in planning to train Miss Uni verse for a film career. Al though they may have been no thought of the religious values it was a strikink tribute to the Bible. We can certainly discover “feeling” in this Book. There are many passages which stir the human soul to its depths and lift it to the highest levels of spiri tual enrichment. There is also “interpretation" of the deepest meanings of life and the priceless wisdom that in sures happiness of hearts, con tentment of . conscience and se curity of soul. “poetry” is prominent.

West Mala Street & C. Columbia—Atty. Gen. T. C. Callison says the only written opinion he ever gave on the state Democratic party’s U. • S. Senate nominee vacancy last month was that the name of the late Sen. Burnet R. Maybank could not appear on election bal lots. “ Callison reviewed already pub licized information about his part in advising party official*, in a statement in relp to a Green ville News request. He did, Mr. Callidon said, par ticipate, as related by members of a Democratic State Executive sub-committee, with members of the sub-committee in dis cussions of the situation caused by May- bank’s death Sept. 1, three days before the Sept. 3 deadline for filing candidates' names for the November 2 election. The opinion he expressed in the discussions were not “offic ial so far as I was concerned," the attorney general said, then he continued: “I suggested that some ques tion might arise if a person was nominated and his name placed on the ballot and voted for as to whether or not on the floor of the Senate the certification of some other person as the elected senator would be sustained. The question was not seriously pro pounded or pressed and no offic ial opinion was rendered by me.” It was this oral suggestion that was related to the full committee Sept. 3 by the sub-committee members, and on which oppon ents of a resolution calling for a primary to nominate Maybank’s successor, based their argument that a primary held with a dum my candidate might be illegal. The committee then chose a successor nominee for Maybank, State Sen. Edgar A. Brown of Barnwell. Former Gov. Strom Thurmond then came out as write-in can didate agains tBrown on the grounds that a primary should have been ordered. Brown and Committee Chair man Neville Bennett have ar gued it was not legally powible to hold a primary, have referred to Callison’s quotod statements made at the committee meeting Hurry!
