LANDFILL

expansion in Jenkins County.” Lee continued, “The threat
this landfill poses to our environment, water supply, and
overall quality of life is something we cannot ignore. We
must stand united as a community and fight against this
ill-advised proposal.”
The group has been working diligently to prepare a
petition that will voice the collective disagreement with
the landfill expansion. “With the invaluable guidance
of a seasoned lawyer, we are gearing up for what could
be a two-year-long battle. Our resolve is strong, and we
are determined to follow the example set by our friends
in Screven County who successfully fought off a similar
landfill proposal.” Lee explained to the crowd.
One of the primary concerns of the citizen group is the
potential contamination of the water supply. “We fear that
the landfill may allow harmful substances to seep into
the ground, posing a significant risk to the health of our
families, pets, and local wildlife.” Lee explained. Moreover,
the current landfill's history and its unknown contents from
the past decade raise alarming questions. “Why should we
allow more landfills when we have already endured the
burden of two?”
The group also discussed that if the landfill expansion
was allowed, it would negatively affect future prospects
of the county. Industries may shy away from establishing
themselves in a location with compromised water quality
and air pollution concerns. Families may be compelled to
move away, impacting the county’s sense of community
and progress.
“We remain skeptical regarding the assurance of no new
taxes,” Lee explains. “The impact of this landfill on our
county's infrastructure and resources could potentially lead
to unforeseen costs down the line. We must stay vigilant and
hold our elected officials accountable for their promises.”
As the meeting was wrapping up, organizers asked, “We,
the committee, implore every citizen to join the cause and
actively participate in this crucial fight. The success of our
efforts relies on the collective power of the community.
Together, we can make Jenkins County a clean and vibrant
place for our future generations to thrive.”

INTO MY
HEART
By Sam Eades, Publisher/Writer
for
The Times
I know that we all remember the little tune from our
youth named, "Into my heart". It was a cute little choms
that I have used for children and adults alike. It is a great
little song to add to the end of a hymn or a praise and
worship song.
I remember as a child singing this song at home with
my family. Mom would start playing the piano and we
would all join in singing to the top of our lungs. Of
course, at that age, I was singing lead (soprano). I can
hear the four parts now. Me on lead. Mom on Alto, My
sister Marcia would sing tenor sometimes and my Dad of
course on bass. The parts were beautiful and the blend was
superb.
The hymn, "Into my heart", was written by Harry Dixon
Clarke in 1924. He was born in Cardiff, Wales. Orphaned
at a young age, he ran away from the orphanage, found
his way to London, and went to sea for a decade. With his
brother’s assistance, Clarke moved to Canada and then the
United States, where
he experienced his
conversion. After
studying at Moody
Bible Institute in
Chicago, Clarke
became active in
music publishing.
Clarke served
as a song leader
for California
evangelist Harry W.
Vom Bruch and the
famous Chicago-
based revivalist,
Billy Sunday during
the latter years of
Sunday’s ministry.
He continued evangelistic work in Pennsylvania and
Indiana for the remainder of his life. Though he died in
Lexington, Kentucky, he is buried with his wife Dorothy
May Clarke in Sioux City, Iowa, where he had served as a
pastor.
This short song was written because of an evangelistic
campaign in the Trinity Evangelical Church at Shamokin,
Pennsylvania. A man that was obviously under the
influence of liquor, responded to the altar call that evening.
Good friends of the church had been praying for him
for many years to come to know the Lord. He was at the
Church that evening and immediately upon coming to
the altar, this man cried out, “Come into my heart. Lord
Jesus, come to stay!” And out of that experience, Harry
D. Clarke, the evangelist, wrote this lovely prayer choms.
The short choms was expanded by Clarke into a full hymn
with four stanza's later on entitled, "Come into my heart,
blessed Jesus."
Please, sing with me
Into my heart, into my heart,
Come into my heart. Lord Jesus.
Come in today, come in to stay.
Come into my heart. Lord Jesus. *
Here is the hymn as expanded. The first version was
added to the end of the verses.
1. Come into my heart, blessed Jesus,
I need thee through life’s dreary way.
The burden of sin is so heavy.
Come into my heart and stay.
2. Come into my heart, blessed Jesus,
And take all my guilt away.
Then spotless I’ll stand in thy presence
When breaks the eternal day.
3. Come into my heart, blessed Jesus,
O cleanse and illumine my soul;
Fill me with thy wonderful Spirit,
Come in and take full control.
