TIMES OF
TROUBLE
Psalm 44
This Psalm was not written
by David. It was written and
compiled by a group of people.
Credit for the authorship is
given to the sons of Korah.
We are not going to discuss
the origin and authorship, but
the main content of the mes
sage of this Psalm. The writ
ers of this Psalm had heard of
the great things God had done
for the forefathers of the na
tion of Israel. They begin this
Psalm by praising God for
what he has done and enum
erating the great works that
were wrought by His hand.
The conquest of the Holy Land
was the first point of refer
ence they made. God favored
these people and these writers
recognized these blessings.
Now the people of the land
are being harassed by trou
ble again. These writers know
that all the trouble began in
the hearts of the people.
They had turned their backs
on God and they were receiv
ing their due reward. God was
punishing his chosen people
for their transgressions. God
was not sparing His wrath in
the out pouring of this punish
ment. These people were suf
fering. The writers realized
that this trouble was justified
and was punitive. God was
hastizing His children. This
nurt God but it needed to be
done to draw these wayward
people back to God. God made
these people a great reproach
in the eyes of their neighbor
ing nations. These people were
weak and dishonored.
Friends, we are living in
times of trouble. This trouble
is being taken lightly by many
people in this nation. They do
not have the foresight to visu
alize the consequences of the
folly of this nation. Our peo
ple have been blessed and de
livered by God in times of
trouble. We are in trouble
now. These same people be
lieve the hand of God in some
miraculous way will deliver us
again. Our nation has trans
gressed against God. This is
a wayward nation. We are a
stubborn and stiffnecked peo
ple. How long will God put
up with us?

Millers Attend
25th Anniv.
Os The Corrys
On Sunday afternoon we
motored up to Augusta to at
tend the Silver (25th) Anni
versary of Rev. and Mrs. Jack
Corry, which was held in the
social hall of the church of
which Rev. Corry founded and
has been pastor.
Pembroke was the first
church that Rev. Corry was
called to, and his coming here
made the church go full time,
as prior to his coming here
church services were only held
twice a month and the Meth
odist held their services on the
other two Sundays. But both
the Baptists and the Method
ists and the Christian churches
have long been having serv
ices each Sunday, morning and
night and it looks as if the
people enjoy a full time
church. It does not give them
time “to get weak in the
faith,” as they are constant
ly being led in the right direc
tion.
During the time that the
Corry family lived here their
first child was born, and for
that reason Pembroke will al
ways be a place that will live
in the memory of the Corry
family.
Rev. Corry left Pembroke to
accept the job of building the
Lake Park Church, which
started on or near the spot
his present Church is located,
and he has been the pastor
since that time, he has one of
the leading churches of Au-
Vusta and his members believe
in him to the ’nth degree.
If was our pleasure to be
with the Corrys and other
friends in Augusta a short
time ago and it was then that
we learned a great deal about
the activities of Rev. Corry in
Augusta, and we said then
that he was a “second John S.
Wilder,” who we have always
looked upon as being one of
the greatest and most sincere
workers for C h r is t and his
people that we ever knew,”
yes we say again that Jack
Corry is growing bigger in
our opinion as being a Min
ister to fill the shoes of the
late John S. Wilder of Savan
nah, who was our friend for
many years.
We are proud of our connec
tion with the Corrys for the
past quarter of a century, we
have visited in their home in
Augusta many times, and our
admiration for the Corrys al
ways increased the more we
saw of them. It is just a pity
that we do not have more
families like Rev. and Mrs.

Cold Weather
Slows Business
Down In Bryan
Due to the extreme cold
weather and rain, business has
more or less been at a stand
still in this section of Georgia.
But even at that we believe
that we have fared much bet
ter than many other nearby
sections of the country. Those
that would face the cold, win
try wind and rain could go
anywhere and return if they
would exercise the caution
that conditions called for.
Ye Editor made a pilgrim
age to Liberty County and the
lower part of Bryan on Sat
urday and found business
more or less at a standstill,
the highways was filled by
motorists who were probably
heading home, wherever that
may be. Long lines of traffic
were on the highway headed
both ways. The traffic com
ing South was covered with
snow and ice, while that head
ed North was not.
The average person was
found inside of their places
trying to keep comfortable
with very little activity. It
was not long before we head
ed for Pembroke and a warm
fire in our little home, where
we called it a week.

Open House
Party By City
Was Success
Although there was a
basketball game and other
things to detract from the
open house party given by
the Mayor and City Council
last Tuesday night at the so
cial center of the Fire Sta
tion it was a delightful af
fair for everyone that at
tended.
Col. Cogswell of the Ft.
Stewart-Hunter complex was
a guest, and proved to be an
interesting officer, friendly
and courteous and gave many
of our people a better insight
as to what the future of Ft.
Stewart might mean to our
own little city of Pembroke.
Other out of town visitors
were Mr. and Mrs. Jerry
Wilson of Richmond Hill. Mr.
Wilson is Chairman of the
Bryan County Commission
ers and interested in each
and everything throughout
the county.
Delightful punch and
cookies, cake etc. was served
and a social hour was enjoy
ed by all that attended. The
Mayor and Councilmen were
present and many talked to
them about various improve
ments that they thought the
city should try to make this
year. It was good for all of
us to get together and talk
our problems over in a
friendly manner.
Prior to the open house
the new City Officials were
sworn in by Mrs. Florine El
rick, Ordinary of Bryan Co
unty, and one of the first
acts of Mayor Miller was to
name J. Harry Owens as
Mayor pro tern for the next
two years. Mr. Owens had
held this place under Mayor
Miller for four years pre
viously and the two worked
together in a manner that
was pleasing to all concern
ed. City Clerk and Treasur
er J. Dixie Harn was elected
as City Clerk and Treasurer
for the next two years, after
being recommended in a
strong letter from the Mayor,
who also suggested an in
crease in salary for him. The
Mayor knows more about the
work that our Clerk and
Treasurer does than most
others, and he considers Mr.
Harn’s services as of the best,
and believes he means more
to the people of Pembroke
and the County of Bryan
than most of our people will
ever realize.
The committees of the
Council were left as they
were with the exception of
that Mr. Owens took the
place of Mr. Williamson on
all the committees that he
was on.
The City looks forward to
a good year in 1968 and has
several projects in view to
make our city a better place
in which to live and raise a
family.
