I - Do you find it diffuc'ult ' to say "no"
:to'a record store window or the enhanc
jing album cover?-Are you lacking in will
jpower when a big sale is announced? Does
lyour wife or sweetheart fear you love
jvinylite more than you love her? Well,
jtake heart, record fans, and listen to
ithe story of the world’s biggest record
Icollectors. There is, for example, a
jmusic lover in Havana who has gathered
131,000 records in 55‘years of collecting
;A millionaire on the West Coast has as
sembled 25,000 disks, and an Indian Mah
arajah has $100,000 woth pf. , records.
There is a collection in New.York City
so big that two apartments are needed to
house it. And in California, a collec
tor of cylinder records has 30 early ph
onograph machines, enough to stock a mu
seum. It seems the true record collec
tor is a man by shellac possessed.
Next time you think of clarinetists,
think of John LaPorta,... His newest re
lease features oneside or four intrigu
ing numbers in which he shows a very im
agivative concept of his instrument when
dealing with the jazz idiom... his know
ledge of both vehicles is provocatively
displayed nad is laced with an origina
lity we would like to see more of.
TEMPTATION ..
By R.G. Spaulding
In the beginning of time, Adam and Eve
were tempted by the devil and weres sent
from the Garden, of Eden. God placed a
charge on Eve and all women of the world
in early times, present day, and in gen
erations to come will,during child-birth
.have to endure great pain and sorrow be
cause Eve was curious and through she co
uld: not endure the temptation any longer.
■Jesus Christ, God’s own Son, was temp
ted throe times by the devil. ; Each time
therdevil . tempted him, he answered from
.the judgements, statutes, and command
mentsof God,’’Man shall not live by bread
alonef - but by every word that proceedeth
out of the mouth of God”,’’Thou shalt hot
tempt the-Lord t'hy God,’’and ’’Thou shalt.
worship the Lord thy God, 'and .him only
shalt thou serve,” Matthew'4:4, 4:7 and
4:10 respectively. !
In the Lord's Prayer, we pray ,”lead
us not into temptation but deliver US
from EVIL.” Jesus Christ Instituted
this prayer for his disciples to use.
There is No Temptation to great for
us- to endure, if we'call upon God Our
Father to help us. He will provide a way
or means to escape. ’’There hath no temp
tation taken you but such as is common
to man: but God- is faithful,who will not
suffer you to be tempted above that ye
may be able to bear it.” I Corinthian^
10:13.
