The International Sunday Sc
hool lesson this week begins a
series of four lessons on the gen
eral topic “God.” The first of
these lessons is “God Is Holy”;
with the background Scripture
from Leviticus 19:1-2; 1 Chroni
cles 29:10-19; Psalms 29; Isaiah
40:21-31; 55:8-9 Acts 17:22-31
Romans 11:33-36; a n d Revela
tion 4:6. The Memory Selection
is “Holy, holy, holy. Lord God
Almighty, which was, and Is,
and is to come.” (Rev. 4:8.)
All four of this series of les
sons stress that God is known to
those who believe through per
sonal encounter with Him; and
through the testimony, in the
Bible, of others who have
known God in all His might and
power.
During this series of lessons
we will study “God is Holy”,
“God Is Father”; “God is Re
deemer”; and "God is Living
Spirit.”
To this layman, who believes
with all his heart those four pic
tures of God — Holy, Father,
I Redeemer, and Living Spirit;
the greatest description of the
four is God as Father.
For if our earthly father knows
how to bestow good gifts “how
much more shall your Heavenly
Father give the Holy Spirit to
them that ask.”
This is an age when people
like to “compare” things and
times. And when they compare
the love of God — Our Father —
with that of our earthly father
) there is really no comparison,
regardless of how great an
earthly father one may be for
tunate enough to have or had.
But we’U discuss this descrip
tion of God when that lesson
comes up. Let’s turn to Sunday’s
lesson — “God is Holy.”
— 4 > —
The background Scripture for
this week’s lesson begins with
the Book of Leviticus and runs
right through Revelation, the
last book in the New Testament.
Chronicles tells of the days from
Adam to the time, when King
Cyrus gave the captured Child
ren of Israel permission to re
turn to Jerusalem and rebuild
the walls; the Psalms sing of
the Glory, and Majesty and Pow
er, and Holiness of God; Isaiah
predicts the coming of the Mes
, siah, and the rest of the back
ground Scripture tells of Jesus,
His life, His ac* . His death,, re
surrection and promises. Revel
ation winds up the lesson with
thi 3 description of God—the Me
mory Selection, “Holy.holy, holy,
is the Lord God Almighty who
was, who is and is to come.”
The Old Testament tells of the
experiences of many who wit
ness to the fact hat God was;
the New Testament, with Jesus
I Christ Himself as chief charac
ter, bears witness that God is
and always will be; that there
is but one true and living God;
and that his power and might
and greatness, and above all his
compassion and his patience
with mankind has never waver
ed and never will.
What more testimony could
one want? Testimony of men,
and women, who have known
and have loved and have served
f God Almighty.
— + —
Our lesson describes God as
“Holy.”
What is the meaning of Holy?
Webster’s dictionary says “holy”
means “sacred, spiritually pure,
sinless, deserving reverence and
worship.”
And certainly God is all of this.
One commentator of this les
son says the best way to realize
the holiness of God is to consi
der the prayer of David in this
lesson. He was about to turn
over his throne to Solomon, his
son. Mindful of the love of God
for him, in spite of his great sin,
King David prayed:
“Blessed art thou, O Lord, the
God of Israel our father, for ever
and ever, Thine O Lord is the
greatness and the power, and
the glory, and the victory, and
the majesty. . . . thou art exalt
ed above all. .

House Under
Court Attack
By ED ROGERS
United Press International
ATLANTA (UPI)—'The Geor
gia House of Representatives
today was under a federal court
legal attack unprecedented in
modern times for refusing to
seat a Negro member.
In addition, the Capitol was
the announced target for a pro
test march led by Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr.
Few lawmakers would be on
hand to consider these events,
however. House and Senate
business was devoted to routine
reading of local and other bills,
requiring only a few legislators.
The tradition of giving most
legislators a chance for long
weekends to check with con
stituents on issues early in the
session delayed the main pend
ing business, action on an $18.5
million supplemental budget
bill.
Committee Completes Work
The House Appropriations
Committee completed its work
on the bill and sent it to the
House for action Monday with
several shifts in proposed out
lays, but little change in the
total.
Attorneys for ousted Rep. Ju
lian Bond went into federal
court Thursday to demand he
be given his seat. The House

A mop and a bucket have become almost standard
equipment for library staff members. Miss Howard is
shown here in the library basement which often is
filled with water during heavy rains.
Staff Fights Battle
With Mops, Buckets
A phrase in a once popular
song said “It isn’t raining rain
to me, it’s raining violets.”
Not so at Hawkes library in
Griffin.
When it rains, it rains trou
ble.
The slate roof on the Griffin
landmark just won’t keep the
water out.
It drips in from the ceiling and
sometimes splashes on the val
uable books kept on the second
floor and stored in the basement.
The water runs down the walls
of the building, streaking the
finish and causing it to flake off.
Library staff members scurry
about with buckets to put on the
floors where the roof leaks.
Old newspapers were spread

Bailey, 44, and George Henry
Scalla Jr., 25. Police said both
men had lengthy arrest re
cords.
A policewoman posing as a
maid, Barbara Ezell, had been
staked out in the Firestone
home along with Lt. B. L.
Cork., Sgt. Jack Egger and Det.
Jack Mourning.
Thugs Take Bait
Scalla, wearing a hat pulled
low over his face, and
brandishing two revolvers,
knocked on the door. Bailey,
wearing a Halloween mask—
apparently to hide his heavily
scarred and easily identifiable
face—was beside Scalla. Bai
ley sported a revolver
in one hand and a bag in the
about the floor in many places
this morning to soak up water
left by the overnight rains.
And this was a relatively light
rain, as far as the library staff
is concerned. Heavier down
pours have caused them more
trouble.
This is one of the reasons the
directors of the library went to
the Spalding County Commiss
ioners last November and ask
ed them to consider a bond is
sue for a new building.
Hundreds of dollars has been
spent trying to repair the old
building but it all has been wash
ed down the drainpipes.
The library board was convin
ced that the building had outliv
ed its usefulness and a new one
was needed.
Another reason the board sou
ght a new building was the need
books and other library supplies
and equipment.
So far, the board has not heard
anything on their request.
Meanwhile, the library staff
mops and waits.
other.
When one of the detectives
opened the door, Bailey burst
into the room and raised his
revolver as if to shoot, police
said.
Shotgun and pistol fire raked
both suspects, cutting them
down near the doorway before
they had a chance to shoot at
the officers.
“It all happened in a split
second," said Lt. Cork.
Bailey was dead at the scene.
Scalla died shortly afterwards
in the prison ward of Los
Angeles County General Hospi
tal.
Victim Uncertain

Los Angeles had learned of the
Action Could
Come Soon In
Bond Case
By AL KUETTNER
United Press International
ATLANTA (UPI) — Federal
court action could come today
on Negro Rep.-elect Julian
Bond’s suit demanding his seat
in the Georgia House of Rep
resentatives.
Bond, joined by Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr., asked U. S.
District Court Judge Lewis R.
Morgan to appoint a three
judge federal panel to hear the
case.
The suit asked for prompt ac
tion and Morgan today may de
cide whether to okay the panel.
If he did, Chief Judge Elbert
Tuttle of the U. S. 5th Circuit
Court of Appeals would appoint
its members.
kidnap plot about three weeks
before, but didn’t know the
intended victim was Firestone
until 10 days ago.
Capt. John Hankins of the
Beverly Hills police declined to
say exactly how police learned
of the plot, but said the scheme
apparently was intended to net
millions of dollars.
“We don’t know exactly how
much they intended to seek,”
Hankins said, “but the figures
$2 million and $8 million were
on pieces of paper in one man’s
pockets.”
“I can’t praise the police too
much,” Firestone said after
wards. “They knew what they
wer e doing and they did their
job well.”
