2452 Those Uncommon People

Under the heading, “The Uncommon Men,” Time discusses “the thrill seekers, a wild and often winning lot who delight in doing what has never been done.” Included among the wild men are:

Bruce Tulloh, the former British Olympic distance runner, who undertook to run from Los Angeles to New York in a record 66 days.

Eight men from East Africa who this summer are going to try climbing Mount Everest—and all eight are blind.

Evel Knievel, who plans to race a jet-powered motorcycle down a ramp at 280 m. p. h. and jump across the Grand Canyon.

Mira Slovak, who flew across the Atlantic in the smallest plane ever to make the crossing—an 860-pound German-made Fourniee RF 4 glider, powered only by a 36-h. p. Volkswagen auto engine.

Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers 1.7: St. Augustin: Homilies on the Gospel of John, Homilies on the First Epistle of John, Soliloquies Tractate XVIII

Yet the Lord also has not left us to chance, since, in that He said, “The Son cannot of Himself do anything, but what He seeth the Father doing,” He meant us to understand that the Father doeth, not some works which the Son may see, and the Son doeth other works after He has seen the Father doing; but that both the Father and Son do the very same works. For He goes on to say, “For what things soever He doeth, these also doeth the Son in like manner.” Not after the Father hath done works, doeth the Son other works in like manner; but, “whatever He doeth, these also the Son doeth in like manner.” If these the Son doeth which the Father doeth, then it is by the Son that the Father doeth: if by the Son the Father doeth what He doeth, then the Father doeth not some, the Son others; but the works of the Father and of the Son are the same works.
