7 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE , Clinton, S. C., Thursday, December 1, 1966 calmness of the everlasting hills. Break the tension of my nerves and muscles with the soothing music of the singing streams that live in my memory. Help me to know the magical restorative power of sleep. Teach me the art of taking Minute Vacations—of slowing down to look at a flower, to chat with a friend, to pat a dog, to read a few lines from a good book. ‘ Remind me each day of the Fable of the Hare and the Tortoise, that I may know that the race in not always te> the swift; that there is more to life than increasing its speed. Let me look upward into the ^ranches of the tow ering oak, and know that it grew because it grew slowly and well. Slow me down, Lord and inspire me to send my roots deep into the soil of life’s enduring values, that I may grow toward the stars of my great destiny. Amen.” A companion prayer was sent to me by another cor respondent: ' “Slow me down, Lord. I’m going too fast. I can’t see my brother when he’s walking past. I miss a lot of good things day by day; I don’t know a blessing when it con\es my way. “Slow me down, Lord, I want to see more of the things that are good for me. A little less of me and a lot more of you. I want the heavenly at mosphere to trickle through. Let me help a brother when the going is rough; when folks work together life isn’t so tough. ‘Slow me down, Lord, so I can talk with some of Your angels. Slow me down to a walk!” If youjiave the hurry habit, as most of us have, then clip these prayers out and place them where you can see them and use them every day. Former Resident Loses Husband Word was received yester day of the sudden passing of Jack Skelton of Anderson on Wednesday morning.

Sometimes the results are disastrous, particularly with teenage drivers who have npt learned that an au tomobile is a death-dealing instrument. Tail-gate drivers are be coming an increasing prob lem on the highways. They are the ones who follow the car ahead too closely. I have had particular trouble with these this summer in auto mobile traveling necessary to my work as a Bishop. Re peatedly I have had to’ heed the advice given in the North Carolina Driver's Manual: slow down, pull over, and wave the driver ahead. From a correspondent I re ceived the following prayer for speeders: “Slow me down. Lord! Ease the pounding of my heart by the quieting of my mind. Steady my hurried pace with a vision of the eternal reach of time.
