STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD High Interest Loans Offered At Library In an effort to stem the rise of prices and the spiral of inflation, the McHenry Public library will be of­ fering high interest loans to its patrons during National Library week, April 13-19, and throughout the year. With inflation at an annual rate of 18 percent, Mrs. June Stuart, librarian, urges patrons to ignore the economists and borrow, borrow, borrow from the library and take advantage of its outstanding values. From books to records, the library has the lastest best sellers and the oldest classics. This week Mrs. Stuart asked, "Why spend $12.95 on a new book, or $10 on an album when their quality is uncertain? Check out the materials at the library and find out for free." The library houses an extensive collection of How- To books for the novice What Just One Person Can Do plumber, electrician, of carpenter and others who are doing tasks themselves, for which they used to pay. For example, to hook-up a built-in dishwasher may require a half an hour of reading and a half an hour for installation. A visit from a serviceman could cost up to $40. And money isn't the only thing patrons can save by using the library. The library's information and referral staff is trained to find the answers to questions fast, saving patrons time and frustration. These are just a few reasons why the library is America's greatest bargain. National Library week is the perfect time to go to the library and discover the rest yourself. Be sure the children stop and see Mrs. Rogers, the children's librarian. She is Religion and Politits: Do They Mix? In a Christopher Closeup TV interview with the Rev. William Sloane Coffin, formerly a chaplain at Yale and presently the senior minister at Riverside church in New York, I explored the question of mixing religion and politics. VI don't see how you can unmix them," he said. "I think faith implies politics. It's good politics or bad but I don't see how you can say it's no politics. For instance, if you say, as many do, religion is above politics, then you're for the status quo. So that's politics too." But religion is more than politics isn't it? "Of course," he answered, "Christ was more than a prophet, but He wasn't less than a prophet, /kid if He didn't.say anything •ftrore controversial than, let's say, what Billy Graham says, why the nails...never would have- grazed His palm." William Coffin has backed up his rhetoric with his life. In the 60s he went to jail with Ralph Abernathy in protesting the prejudice of the legal system in the South. "We were protesting...by breaking the law very deliberately because we felt it was an evil law. But if when you break the law you take the consequences of the law, you are not being lawless." He was also in the forefront of the protest against the Vietnamese war and I asked for a comment on the whole question of the prophetic role. "The prophets inveighed against political evil. They hated evil, which you have to do or you're sentimental. But they hated evil because they so loved the good." My last question: What did you mean when you once said that optimism is for the proud and hope is for the humble? "Well, hope is a religious thing. Hope is what keeps you going when there doesn't seem to be anything coming back. For the joy of what was set before Him, He endured the cross. Now that's primarily what Christians have to do. Joyfully do what is right and leave it up to God finally." I'd like to conclude this with the words of Jesus: "Not everyone who says Lord, Lord will enter the kingdom of God but anyone who hears My words and puts them into practice is like the wise man who built his house on rock." (Matt. 7:21) The Look I have to be honest. I went into marriage with my eyes wide open. That's one of the symptoms of shock. having an on-the-spot book­ mark coloring contest.
