“Sent Out by the Holy Spirit”
is the title of this week’s In
ternational Sunday School les
son. Background Scripture is
Acts 13 and 14.
The Memory Selection is “As
they ministered unto the Lord,
and fasted, the Holy Ghost said,
‘Separate me Barnabas and
Saul for the work whereunto I
have called them.’ ” (Acts
13:2.)
(Before we begin discussing
this lesson on Missions may we
digress and say the title “Sent
Out by the Holy Spirit” might
also be a suitable title for a
Mother’s Day message. For if
there has ever been any human
being “Sent Out by the Holy
Spirit” to make this a better,
happier, cleaner world it has
been Mothers. Can you imagine
what a drab, unhappy, miser
able world this would be if it
were not for Mothers?)
Background Scripture for our
lesson begins with an incident in
Antioch, the city where the
early members of the church
were “first called Christians.”
The story tells how the first or
ganized missionary movement
began when, after the Chris
tians gathered there had prayed
and fasted, the Holy Ghost
came to them and told them
Barnabas and Saul (Paul)
should become full time miss
ionaries, should go into all parts
of the world and carry the
“Good News.”
No doubt there were some in
the gathering who would have
preferred to have Barnabas and
Paul remain with them preach
ing and teaching and making
their city and their church the
Christian capital of the world.
No doubt there were some who
felt “why send these men away,
there is work for them to do
right here at home.”
Three weeks ago, on April 19,
when we began a new series of
lessons and the topic of the first
was “Good News for All” the
Memory Selection was “There
is neither Jew nor Greek, there
is neither bond nor free, there is
neither male nor female, for ye
are all one in Christ Jesus.”
(Galatians 3:28.)
This lesson and this Memory
Selection (Golden Text to us
“Old timers”) is a perfect ans
wer to the question as to whe
ther the Missionary Movement
should be a selfish one.
Good Evening can remember
when as a boy there was wide
division in the church as to
Missions. Everyone believed in
Missions but some believed the
movement should be restricted
to “Home Missions”. In fact
there were those who believed
only in missionary work at
home and refused to see any
good in “Foreign Missions.”
And an interesting sidelight to
to is attitude is the fact that
church records as many
denominations will show that
some of the most avid oppon
ents of “Foreign Missions” who
boasted “I’ll never give a thin
dime to send missionaries to
foreign lands”, were mighty
stingy in their giving even to
“Home Missions”.
Today the world needs the
“Good News” as much or pro
bably even more than ever be
fore and if there is anything
professing Christians can do to
bring nearer the day of “peace
that passeth understanding” it
will be to support and encour
age the preaching of the “Good
News” to all the world.
Had it not been for the stiff
opposition to an overall
missionary program, in years
gone by and had the Christian
world followed the instructions
of Jesus Christ and taken the
“Good News” into all the earth
we believe the tension and sins
of today would have been much
less.
And had we in America taken
to heart Paul’s statement in
Galatians “There is neither Jew
nor Greek, there is neither bond
nor free, there is neither male
nor female; for ye all are one in
Christ Jesus” think what a
wonderful America and won
derful world this would be!
Griffin Scientist At Georgia Tech
Probes Microwave Radiation Dangers
Microwave radiation may
cause mongoloid children,
according to former Griffinite
Dr. A. P. Sheppard Jr., head of
toe Special Techniques Branch
of toe Electronics Division at
Georgia Tech.
Dr. Sheppard, toe son of Mr.
and Mrs. A. P. Sheppard of 1640
Williamson road, said micro
wave ovens, like those used to
heat sandwiches in snackbars,
may leak enough radiation to
cause side effects similar to X
ray overdose.
“The biologically harmful ef
fects of electromagnetic radia
tion have been greatly ignored
while those of nuclear radiation
have been well explored,” he
said in his professional journal
ladened office.
A 1955 graduate of Griffin
High School, Dr. Sheppard
attended Oglethorpe College,
Emory University, University
of Alabama, and completed his
doctorate degree in electrical
engineering at Duke University
in 1965.

Maddox Says Young
Must Solve Problem
By TOM GREENE
ATLANTA (UPI)-Gov. Lest
er Maddox said today “this
country is in the hands of our
young people” and only they
can solve the problems now con
fronting it.
Maddox said at a Capitol
news conference “governors and
presidents are not going to win
this battle that we are in now.
It is going to be won by those
young people on the college
campuses — the good, decent
young Americans — even in the
faces of the Marxist profes
sors...”
Maddox praised the over
whelming majority of college
students who have opposed what
he called “the radicals” during
recentcampus demonstrations.

He said the colleges in the
State University System were
closed for two days, at his sug
gestion, to “protect the lives of
students” and protect property.
“We were confronted with a
decision of what’s best, not what
we wanted to do,” he said.
Maddox said he does not be

next week.
Maddox also told newsmen
that he has written President
Nixon to explain his statement
last week about the U.S. in

some had misinterpreted that
statement and “are charging
me with having joined with the
doves.”

ATHENS, Ga. (UPI) - Two
students sought to contest in
court today toe closing of the
University of Georgia and all
other state - supported colleges
and universities in toe state in
the wake of two nights of dem
onstrations here.
Chancellor George L. Simpson
Jr. of toe University of Georgia
directed presidents of toe insti

Although hundreds of students
marched on President Fred C.
Davison’s home here Thursday
night, they avoided a confronta
tio with police and state troop
ers and finally dispersed, ignor
ing toe calls of a few who
smashed toe door windows of
toe administration building to
“either come in or go home and
forget about it.”
Campus police said today
there was little damage and no
arrests. Most of the students
had left toe campus, officers
said.
An estimated 1,000 students
confronted Davison, demanding
to at charges be dropped against
three students arrested Wednes

A few then went to the ad
