morning among the Colorado Rock
ies. far up on the Continental
Divide. There 1 watched in a mood
of mystery and wonder the little
trickles of water from springs and
melting snows, as they flowed
through the brown pine needles at
my feet and raced merrily on
down the mountain side.
I could span those tiny streams
with the thumb and little finger
of one hand. Yet they told me that
this was the beginning of the Col
orado River.
Just a few miles down the val
ley it was already a silvery ribbon
of water winding through the
meadows and down the western
slope.
Before that river reached the
Pacific Ocean it would provide the
water and irrigatibn rights for
seven states, carve out the majes
ftic formations of the Grand Can
'yon, cause the deserts to blossom
and furnish the water supply for
cities and towns all along the
way.
Equally mysterious is the begin
ning of the Mississippi River.
It is with a sense of amazement
that one stands on the St. Louis
water front and sees the broad
sweep of that stream the big
excursion boats tied up at the
levee, the long lines of coal barges
moving slowly out in the channel,
the majestic bridges spanning the
Father of Waters between the Il
linois and Missouri shores.
It makes it difficult to believe
that up at the source of the Mis
sissippi at Lake Itaska a child can
wade across this same river. The
first bridge over it is only a split
log. Near the place where the tiny
little stream flows through the
wild rice beds and lily pads there
stands a state park monument of
polished pine with the words,
"Here, 1,475 feet above the
ocean, the mighty Mississippi be
gins to flow on its winding way
2,552 miles to the Gulf of Mexico."
As rivers begin, so all life be
gins. The sources are small. The
consequences are immeasurable.
Who that first saw a young
carpenter from Nazareth, speak
ing with inspired words and glow
ing face to a little group of l:
men as they walked along the
shores of Galilee, wouid have be
lieved that this would develop into
the greatest religious movement
in history?
Today Christian churches,
schools, hospitals, preaching and
evangelistic centers girdle the en
tire globe, as a result of what be
gan in that little company of 12
disciples that gathered around
Jesus Christ. There is hardly a
home or a nation that has not in
some way been affected by it.
Truly "there is a river whose
tant the battles of Napoleon or
the babies?
Jesus knew the ininort?.ice ol
ihe babies. He said. "Let (he chil
dren come to me. do not hinder
i hem: for to such belongs the king
dom of God."
We do well to remember this
when we see our own children
gathering around the supper table
or the TV set. What is going on
in their little minds? Are they be
ginning to think the thoughts ol
Gcd, or thoughts only of violence,
selfishness, and evil'.'
Upon the ar.swer to that question
depends a great deal not only of
their own destiny, but the fate of
tne world. We had best teach them
to know their Ribles. to love Christ
and the church, and to worship
their Maker. For some day these
same children will become
mighty river of ideas and of
power. Either they will make glad
the city of God, or else they will
bring unspeakable tragedy to the
life of mankind.
May our Father in heaven for
give us if we fail Him in our
homes, where the river of time
and eternity begin.
Prayer: 0 God our Father,
help us to appreciate the far-reach
ing influences of all that we do
or say. We remember the warning
of Jesus that in the Judgment we
must give account of every idle
word that we may have spoken.
.May we week Thy approval in all
things, to the end that our lives,
however humble and obscure, may
become a source of blessing to all
our fellow men. In Jesus' name.
Amen.

Or, in simpler words. Miss
Anne Anderson is tired of dashing
out of the library every hour to
put a nicke! tn the parking meter.
Miss Anderson sent a complain

does not permit proper concentra

She asked librarian C. R. Gra

way to allow readers an uninler

The library board of trustees
