Did you know that the space

what has been called “myth” in
the Bible is true? Mr. Harold
Hill, President of the Curtis
Engine Co.

Maryland, and a consultant in

following development:

in space in elapsed time.” They
scratched their heads and tore
their hair. There was no
answer!
One religious fellow in the
team said, “You know, one time
I was in Sunday School and they
talked about the sun standing
still." They didn’t believe him,
but they didn’t have any other
answer so they said, “Show
us.” He got a Bible and went
back to the book of Joshua
where they found a pretty
ridiclous statement for any
body who has ‘common sense’.
There
they found the Lord
saying to Joshua, “Fear them
not; for I have delivered them
into thine hand: there shall not a
man of them stand before thee.”
Joshua was concerned because
he was surrounded by the enemy

and if darkness fell they would
overpower them.
So Joshua
asked the Lord to make the sun
stand still! That’s right-“The
sun stood still, and the moon
stayed .. and hasted not to go
down about a whole day.”
(Joshua 10:8, 12, 13) The space
men said, ‘ ‘There is the missing
day!”
They
checked the
computers going back into the
time it was written and found it
was close but not close enough.
The elapsed time that was
missing back in Joshuas day was
23 hours and 20 minutes - not a
whole day. They read the Bible
and there it was - “about
(approximately) a day.”
These little words in the Bible
are important. But they were

had to be found because it can
be multiplied many times over in
orbits. This religious fellow
also remembered somewhere in
the Bible where it said the sun
went BACKWARDS. The space
men told him he was out of
his mind. But they got out the
Book and read these words in II
Kings: Hezekiah, on his death
bed, was visited by the pro
phet Isaiah who told him that he
was not going to die. Heze
kiah asked for a sign as proof.
Isaiah said, “Do you want the
sun to go ahead ten degrees?”
Hezekiah said, “It’s nothing
for the sun to go ahead ten de
grees, but let the shadow re
turn backward ten degrees,”
(II Kings 20:9-11) Isaiah spoke
to the Lord and the Lord brought

isn’t that amazing? Our God is

Truth!’’
Congressman Al Ullman today
said he would vote against all
military authorizations and ap
propriations for an expanded
war in Southeast Asia, and would
“take whatever further action
I believe is necessary to bring
this conflict to a proper con
clusion through the orderly but
irreversible withdrawl of U.S.
forces from all of Southeast
Asia."
Ullman’s statement came
during debate of the bill H.R.
17123, to authorize 20.2 billion
dollars for new military pro
curement and research on new
weapons system.
Ullman criticized the admini
stration for expanding the war
into Cambodia without con
sulting Congress. “The Con
gress of the American people
have a constitutional right to
know exactly what commitment
the President is making and the
possible consequences of
dramatic and dangerous shifts in
strategic policy,” Ullman said.
He added, “there is growing
sentiment in Congress and else
where that the only effective
way to resolve the question po
sed by our widening involvement
in Southeast Asia is through a
declaration of war. Because of
the history of this conflict and
the tragedy it has inflicted up
on the people of Southeast Asia
and on our nation, I would
vote against such a de
claration.” Ullman concluded,
“But the central issue is
whether our nation’s destiny in
grave
matter
importance rests solely with the
President, or whether the Con
gress shall exercise its con-
stitutiona^rerogatlvi^
