JAMES RUSSELL STINSON Miss Catherine Ann Quayle Weds James Russell Stinson, January 1 Sponsored by Taylor County Ministerial Association BY REV. A. G. WINDHAM, pastor TURNER CHAPEL FREEWILL BAPTIST CHURCH “REPENT OR PERISH” Ezekial 3:17 “Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: Therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.” I am sure you realize there is a grave responsibility placed on the shoulders of every child of God. I feel the responsibility God has placed on my shoulders and have committed to the gospel ministry. During this past year, many major cities have exploded with some of the worst racial riots and outbreaks of violence and lawlessness in America’s history. This lawlessness has jarred vast areas and communities. Curfews, business houses being closed and people being killed seems to be the order of the day. “POVERTY IS NOT OUR REAL PROBLEM” We face a problem of more than just the color of people’s skin, poverty and ghettos, but we see that beneath the surface of all our troubles is the sin-infested heart. I was reared in an area of poverty. We never had the luxuries of life that now are considered necessities and yet we never thought of turning to riots, demonstrations or demanding something that didn’t belong to us. Poverty is not the problem - the problem is sin. America doesn’t need a war on povertly like it needs a war on sin. We need the great Savior more than we need the great society;more than we need medicare, we need Christ’s care; more than we need social security, we need God’s security. During 1968, we have seen many of our cities rocked with violence, anarchy and lawlessness. More than 100 people have been murdered and millions of dollars of property destroyed or damaged. Our police, National Guard and even the Army has been called out to try to restore law and order. We see the real problem is not the ghettos, but people’s hearts, cancerous with sin, adulterated with iniquity and infested with evil. The only thing that can change the heart is the message of Jesus Christ! We Christians are the only ones that have this message. We must use it or lose it, preach it or perish. I think we are up to our ears in the slop of “Coffee House” theology, so called intellectualism, hippies and beatniks! We need the old-fashioned Gospel: We need the old-fashioned prayer meetings, a return to God and his blessed book. May we realize today that America must return to God. I have had my fill of these bearded Messiahs from the dark domain-these ‘shaggy-dog’ philosophers, these sign-carrying humanitarians, the arty atheists, many of whom are emotionally ill, and are trying to tell us that Christ and the word of God are no longer relevant for this hour. Many of them are afraid to carry the torch of freedom lest they be burned by its flames. They would give away in the name of humanity all the freedoms and things we enjoy as Americans and most of all as Christians. The strength of America will go like the dust in a wind if we continue to listen to these chicken-livered voices of compromise and indifference who would cry out to us, “rather Red than dead” or “peace at any price”. Patrick Henry said, “Is life so sweet or peace so dear that it should be purchased at the price of slavery and chains? Forbid it, almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death.” The only way that we will have this freedom spoken of by Patrick Henry and bought and paid for by many who have gone before us is by a return to God. Jesus said, “and if the Son makes ye free, ye shall be free indeed”. It has been said the reason South America has not risen to the same height of prominence as North America is because people came to South America in search of gold, but the people of North America came in search of God. Gold and God, that is the difference. Friends, America will be salvaged only if we keep our eyes on God and not on gold, on the Christ and not cash, on the Almighty God and not the almighty dollar, on Jesus and not jets, on our master and maker and not on the moon, on the Holy Spirit and not space, on the Rock of Ages and not the ages of the rocks. This is a call to repentance. A call to “repent or perish”. We must hear and heed the message of II Chronicles 7:14-“If my people, which are called by my name shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and tum from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will hea 1 their land”.

V.—825-55H Fort Valley Redi-Mix CONCRETE, SAND & GRAVEL CALL COLLECT 825-5555 Miss Catherine Anne Quayle of Jackson, Mississippi became the bride of James Russell Stinson in a quiet ceremony at the home of the Rev. and Mrs. Jerry Partain at 5 p.m., January 1, with the immediate families of the couple attending. The Rev. Partian officiated at the double ring rites. The bride is the daughter of Mrs. Frances Quayle of Jackson and the groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Earl James Stinson of Butler. The vows were spoken Dates Set For Program Signups Signup dates for farmers in Georgia who wish to take part in the 1969 feed grain, wheat and cotton programs have been announced by Rufus Adams, Chairman, Georgia State Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee. All commodity program signups will be held during the same period--February 3, through March 21. Signup applications indicate the farmer’s program intentions, including the extent of his participation in the programs. Under the feed grain program for 1969, farmers may earn diversion and price-support payments as well as qualify for price-support before an improvised altar in the living room of the home. A formal arrangement of whte gladioli, chrysanthemums and snapdragons flanked by white candles formed the setting. The bride chose a winter white ensemble with matching accessories for the ceremony. She carried a Bible, a gift of the groom, topped with white carnations. After a wedding trip to Texas, they are at home in Butler. loans on their com, barley and grain sorghum crops; feed grain diversion payments will be available to all program participants in 1969. The wheat program provides diversion payments for reducing acreage below the farm allotment, and price-support loans on all the wheat produced on the farm. It also provides marketing certificates to bring returns up to full parity on the part of the Farmers who plan to install a conservation practice under the Agricultural Conservation Program are reminded by John S. Montgomery, Chairman of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation County Committee, that application should be made before the conservation work is begun if Federal cost-shares are to be paid. The initial sign-up period is January 2-31 and to be sure of consideration requests should be filed during this period. This is very important, according to Chairman Montgomery. He said that application for approval of an ACP practice must be made beforehand so that the county committee can budget the limited funds available and setf aside funds for practices approved for farmers. Under the ACP, the Federal government shares the cost of farm conservation practices needed in the public interest. The program is administered by the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Services, and each local application comes before the wheat crop allocated for domestic use. No diversion payment is available for cotton. While the signup period for 1969 commodity programs will extend through several weeks, the Chairman urges that farmers who wish to take part in yhe programs file their applications as soon as they decide on 1969 production plans. “Time has a habit of getting away from us sometimes before we know it, so it’s a good idea not to delay in filing program intentions,” he said.

Anu . had to throw in my two cents worth and let it be known that she’s only a Freshman and has three more years to play. I really don’t understand why people tend to underestimate smaller schools. Maybe it’s because they’re jealous of the talent they possess, and Taylor County is very fortunate to have the talent they have in all of their basketball teams.
