I have read a lot magazine articles about people who imagined they were dying and felt they were going on through a tunnel of light to another life. I am not sure what to think of these stories.
but I would be interested in your views about them and about life after death. B.H. Dear B.H.: Such stories have attracted a great deal of attention, although we must be very careful about drawing any firm conclusions from them. Many of them. in fact.
give a false view of life after death, since they imply there is peace and happiness waiting for everyone after death although the Bible makes it clear that a person who rejects God's offer of salvation in Christ has no hope of eternal life in Heaven. At the same time, I have certainly known of rare instances when God apparently gave a dying believer special glimpse into the glory of Heaven. There is, however, one very definite reason why we can know there is life after death and that is because Jesus Christ rose from the dead. He died and was placed i in a stone tomb but God raised him up. The resurrection of Jesus Christ proves there is life after death and that he broke the power of death.
And you can know. beyond doubt, that you are going to be with God forever when you die, if you will turn to Christ and trust him as your personal Lord and Savior. You see, because of our sins, we are cut off from God under the penalty of death. But Christ came to pay the penalty for our sins and bring us forgiveness. Jesus said.
"1 am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live. even though he dies: and whoever lives and believes in me will never die" John 11 25-261 Ask Christ to come into your life today, and then you too can know you will be with him forever.

Gramm, Rudman, Hollings Vow To Fix Budget Law If Court Strikes It Down WASHINGTON (AP)- The three main of the nation's budget-balancing law said Thursday they will team up again in an effort to fix the law if the Supreme Court strikes down its central enforcement mechanism as expected.
Sens. Phil Gramm, Texas, Warren Rudman, and Ernest F. Hollings, said that instead of relying on a backup provision in law calling for vote of Congress to carry out across spending cuts, they would rather try to amend the law to overcome the court's anticipated constitutional objections. "We have a perfect vehicle to do that in that the (current) debt ceiling is going to expire on Aug. 1," Gramm told reporters.
He noted that was just two weeks before the date when spending cuts are to be ordered under the law. Congress must periodically raise the ceiling on the national debt to permit the government to keep borrowing money to pay it's bills. The Gramm-Rudman measure itself was a 1985 amendment to legislation lifting the debt ceiling above $2 trillion for the first time. Gramm said he and his colleagues likely would seek to amend the law to make it impossible for Congress to remove the comptroller general from office once he is appointed by the president. Under the challenged law, the comptroller general, the head of Congress' General Accounting Office, is charged with outlining the automatic spending cuts that are needed in years when Congress fails to meet specified deficit-reduction targets.
It is this provision which came under constitutional challenge in the case now before the Supreme Court- comptroller on grounds general that oversee having the cuts violated the constitutional separation of powers between the executive and congressional branches of government. Gramm said that removing Congress' power to fire the comptroller general would overcome constitutional objectons the Supreme Court is expected to raise. The Supreme Court has yet to rule on the challenge to the far- reaching Gramm-Rudman law. However, ABC News reported last weekend that the court had decided 7-to-2 to overturn its provison triggering automatic spending cuts when deficit targets are unthose close to the budget process both in Congress and in the Reagan administration have said that such a ruling was expected and that they have no reason to doubt the veracity of the ABC report. "The fact of the matter is quite clear that if it (Gramm-Rudman) is not fixed, then sometime in the fall, it well may be that the United States Congress has to pass an up and down vote (io carry out the spending cuts).
Now it seems to me that a lot of people will say they don't want to cast that vote either way," Rudman said. TOCCOA, Ga. Services for Patrick Edward Donovan, 76, of Route 4, Lakeside Acres, husband of Vivian Smart Donovan, at 10 a.m. Friday at Whitlock Mortuary Chapel by Father John C. Druding.

Wesminster. S.C Lynette Hooper, Toccoa Steven Stamey, Clarksville He said that modifying the law now would avoid putting Congress on the spot in the fall and having to cast a politically difficult vote. The Gramm-Rudman law calls for a balanced budget by 1991 through a series of increasingly stringent annual deficit-redcution steps. The installment for fiscal year 1987, which begins on Oct. 1, is a reduction of the deficit from around a projected $200 billion to $144 billion.
If Congress fails to make the needed spending cuts to bring about that size of deficitreduction, automatic cuts would be "triggered" for Oct. 1 that would spelled out by the comptroller general in mid-August. If the Supeme Court strikes this mechanism because of the status of the comptroller general, as expected, then the House and Senate would still get to vote to carry out the cuts under the backup provison in the law. It is this vote that the three senators said they would like to circumvent. "We can do it more neatly.
We'll correct whatever defect there is," said Hollings, the "silent" partner in the original legislation whose name is ususally omitted from the law's popular name. The three sponsors made a rare joint appearance at a lunch with a group of reporters. House Panel Moves Toward Impeaching Nevada Judge WASHINGTON (AP) A House panel took its first formal step Thursday toward the impeachment of convicted federal judge Harry E. Claiborne of Nevada, in what his lawyer vows will be a "noholds-barred" battle. Harry E.
Claiborne, who had a reputation of scrapping with prosecutors from the bench in Nevada, attended the day-long hearing but declined to testify before the Judiciary Committee's subcommittee on courts. Lawmakers said his lawyer, Oscar Goodman, did the talking for him as the panel heard testimony on whether grounds for impeachment existed. After the session, subcommittee Chairman Robert W. Kastenmeier, D- announced that articles of impeachment would be considered by the panel on Tuesday and "I would expect to support them. I would contemplate two which would be akin to a count indictment.
Claiborne was flown to the hearing from the minimum security federal prison camp at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Ala, where he is serving a two-year sentence. He remained from about 10:30 a.m. to nearly 3 p.m., and made the decision himself not to testify. Committee members said they were suprised by the decision, but still don't understand why the judge made it. Rep.
Thomas Kindness. R-Ohio, said after the session. "I don't feel there's a substantial reason not to proceed" with the impeachment proceeding. But he added, "It's not an open and shut case. In my mind, there are some quetions to be Latimer Services ABBEVILLE Services for William E.

Swayne Carlan and Haskel Evanston. Burial in Baldwin Cemetery. The body is at McGahee-Griffin Funeral Home. The family is at the home of his parents, 437 Galloway St. Rep.
F. James Sensenbrenner, said he did not understand why Claiborne chose to attend the hearing with the taxpayers paying for his $750 plane fare if he wasn't planning to testify. The lawmaker has already called for removal of the judge. The hearing was the first step in the impeachment process, which last was used against former President Richard M. Nixon in 1974.
If the subcommittee approves impeachment articles they would go to the full House. House approval would bring on the first Senate impeachment trial since 1936, when federal judge Halsted L. Ritter was removed from office. Claiborne's lawyer, Goodman. asserts that his client is the victim of a government vendetta waged by federal officers who engaged in misconduct during their investigation.
"If we go to the Senate it's no holds barred." Goodman said. "He's going to let everything hang out." The hearing began in public ses sion, and then was closed. Kastenmeier explained the same proce dure was followed 12 years ago during the initial stage of the Nixon proceeding. Kastenmeier said the Constitution demands the highest standards of conduct from the nation's jurists, adding that "independence of and respect for the judicial system" is at stake in the proceeding. "Based on 200 years of American history and 400 years of English experience this is the first time that a convicted federal judge has been the subject of an impeach ment inquiry," he said.
Hart Reagan Signs Bill To Fight Tainting Of Drinking Water WASHINGTON (AP) President Reagan signed legislation Thursday to step up federal efforts to combat the growing hazard of contaminated tap water while expressing concern about some of the new law's enforcement provisions. The measure, which both houses of Congress by overwhelming margins after nearly 18 months of study and debate, broadens and strengthens the Safe Drinking Water Act adopted at the height of the environmental movement in 1974. The new legislation would nearly double spending for drinking water purity, allocating an average of $164.4 million a year for five years. It also creates a national program to protect vital underground water sources. "This legislation, however, does include provisions that are not supported by the administration." Reagan said in a written statement issued by the White House.
He complained that the bill gives too much responsibility for ensuring water safety to the federal government instead of leaving that job to the states..
