WALTER M. BLACKWELL, Pastor
THE BEAUTY OF THE EARTH
Beauty and grandeur can now be
seen on every hand. The flowers,
the green foliage, the warm sun
shine, birds with their enchantment
gardens, folk working in the fields.
It is also a busy time. Everyone
going in the different directions all
of which reminds us of the unfor
getableness of our God and His’
greatness in the universe. How clear
ly we can see His handy work in all
things about us, and both earth and
Heaven are declaring His glory.
But the thing that is so hard to
understand is that in the midst of
all the beautiful and the good is
so much wickedness and tragic
things happening. So many are
going after the things that do not
satisfy.
Men never obtain satisfying full
ness with the things of the world.
No one can have enough of money
to satisfy, always want more. But
we can have all of Christ that we
want and He will fill the heart with
joy and peace, by letting the blessed
rays of Scripture light shine into
our hearts with the abandonment
of all the unholy things.
How little true joy there is in the
world. There may be lightness and
gayety and frivality, but there can
be no true, no lasting joy in the
heart of one away from God. True
joy is gladness, delight, happiness,
and is found in Christ alone. "Many
sorrows shall be to the wicked, but
be that trusteth in the Lord, mercy
shall compass him about.”
For the beauty of the earth, For
the glory of the skies, For the love
which from our birth, Over and
around us lies.
Christ our God, to Thee we raise
this our hymn of grateful praise.
Next Saturday May 3rd we will
clean off the cemetery at Roanoke
Church. All interested parties are
urged to be there on time.
Methodist Church
Next Sunday, May 4th there will
be a Memorial Service at Ebenezer

HIS FAMILY
High-Quality Eggs
This is the time of year to start
thinking about disposing of roosters
in the laying flock, W. David Wil
liams, Extension poultry marketing
specialist suggested this week.
Roosters will not stimulate egg pro
duction, but their presence in lay
ing flocks does account for fertile
and eventually low-quality eggs dur
ing warm weather. These fertile,
low-quality eggs give Georgia pro
ducers a “black-eye” as a quality
egg state, he said. According to Wil
liams, a few simple rules to follow
in producing quality eggs are: (1)
produce infertile eggs, (2) provide
clean nests, (3) provide plenty of
good feed, water and oyster shell
and (4) gather eggs two or three
times daily and store in a cool place

mechanized and more productive
than 25 years ago. According to the

there and a whole banquet room
was laid out in the Supper Club.
Mrs. Puckett is the former Miss
Jessie Read, of Dunwoody. On their
wedding anniversary, last Tuesday
night, Mr. Puckett drove her around
to see innumerable relatives and
then drove by the Supper Club.
Inside, his wife of 47 years found
all her children, grandchildren and
greatgrandchildren, and anyone
knows just what that meant to her.
She vAiS wearing an orchid—Mr.
Puckett’s gift.
But it was all a surprise party,
because Mr. Puckett likes surprise
parties and particularly those that
involve his wife’s wedding anniver
sary.
“I’ve been foolin’ her for 47
years,” he said, “and I’ve done it
again.” Mrs. Puckett likes that sort
of foolin'.
