Smith, Jr., Secretary NOTICE I regret that I can no longer af ford to close my office practically every day, or else work far into the night, in order to treat patients at their homes for the fees which I have eben charging. Therefore, after September 15, 1955, there will be an increase in charges for all my home visits. I wish to suggest that the way to avoid paying the fees Charged for “outside work" is to go to some physician’s office when medical care is needed ex cept for those VERY RARE in stances when travel is actually not advisable or is impossible due to the condition of the patient. Sincerely, Dr. Rupert H. Bramblett Soil Conservation News Forsyth County The widespread interest in fish pond management calls for further information.

Majors Yes, The Co-operative Program Is Scriptural BOARDS, or STANDING COMMITTEES The Co-operative Program is car ried on through standing commit tees, sometimes called boards. Is it scriptural to have these boards or standing committees to admister the finances of our colossal mis sionary, educational, and eleemosy nary program? Yes, we can find the first rudimentary board, or fin ance committee, right here m our New Testament. In 2 Corinthians 8: 16 we find Titus as the first member (Chairman) of this New Testament board. In 2 Corinthians 8: 18—19, the second member of it is “the brother whose praise in the gospel is spread through all the churches: and not only so, but who was also appointed by the churches to travel with us in the matter of this grace” (the vast fund being collected from all the churches for suffering Christians in Judaea and to cement the Jew ish and Gentile Wings of Christian ity), “which is ministered by us to the glory of the Lord.” Hdrte is mentioned the third member of the financial board: “Our brother, whom we have many times proved earnest in many things" (2 Cor. 8: 22). In the next verse (23) he calls these three members of this committee “the messengers of the churches, they are the glory of Christ.” Verses 20 and 21 give us Paul’s motive for thus handling the Lord’s “bounty” or fund “av oiding this, that any man should blame us in the matter of this bounty for we take thought for things honorable.” The great apos tle thought this method of hand ling large sums of money for the kingdom was the safest and most “honorable.’’ Is it not so today? By and far it has proved to be so. P. S. This is another part of the Co-operative program, more next week. Cumming Georgia, Thursday, July 7th, 1955. Today & Tomorrow j Louie D. Newton METHODISTS IN ACTION Bishop Arthur J. Moore asked me to come over to Athens last week for the North Georgia Meth odist Conference, and I thoroughly enjoyed watching ou Methodist friends in action. It looked very much like the Geogia Baptist Con-| vention in session, except fo one or two noticeable pointss. The Bishop presides. They don’t have a President, as we do. And the Bishop presides with a bit 1 more direction of the proceedings than a Baptist would. It appeared to me that Bishop Moore was ex pected to guide the order of busi ness, whereas we have a commit tee on order of business. I noticed that when fhe Bishop thought tt was time to stop for dinner, he suggested so, and they readily agreed, although they were in the midst of an intense discussion on establishing a home for the aged. Another point that impressed me was the fact that they took at least one ballot in which only the pas tors participated. They were elect ing delegates to the eneral Con ference, and I believe the pastors vote on pastors and the laymen on laymAi. If I am in error, some good Methodist brother will be cer tain to set me straight. But generally speaking, they were proceeding very much like a Baptist body. Bishop Moore was generous and gracious in all his rulings, impressing me as wishing to preserve the fullest measure of democracy in whatever the Con ference did. Georgia Methodists have pleased Georgia Baptist very much in urg ing that Bishop Moore be returned for the next four years to Georgia. Every Baptist I know would like to cast a vote on that subject. Bishop Moore is loved by Meth odists and Presbyterians and Bap tists and just about everybody I know. He has some enemies, I am told, but who hasn’t- The North Georgia Conference reported a substantial increase in membership and other reports in dicated the healthy condition of our Methodist brethren wor which we all give thanks. This, my friends, will be my last column for some time. Mrs. New ton and I are scheduled to be on the SS Empress of Scotland en route to Liverpool by the time this reaches you. The ship was delayed in sailing, due to the strike, but we hope, by this time, to be well on our way up or out the St. Law rence River. We will be one-third the distance from Montreal to Liv erpool when we reach the ocean. It is a beautiful trip of 1,000 miles from Montreal to the cold waters of the North Atlantic. We will prob ably be looking at some icebergs. Best wishes.

Prayer Can Change Your Life. The noted scientist, Alexis Carrel said, "The most powerful form of energy one can generate is prayer. Prayer, like radium, is a luminous and self-generating form of ener gy”. Here a scientist, who knows full well that this is an age char acterized by power, stating without equivacation that power unlimited is in the realm of the spiritual and is synonymous with prayer. Prayer is instructive with man. I Never does he come nearer to God than when he prays, and never is! he so godlike as when he lifts his I heart in prayer. All that we do in life may cataloged into three com partments of living. (1) Physical (eat, sleep, work). (2)- We think with and make our decisions with our minds (3) But man also prays for he is spiritual and through this prerogative fimte, man be comes the channel through which Gods power is released to the world. How we work physically that we may not die, how we try to clarify our thinking, but howe little we pray! with his intellect and with his hands, man has come unto pos session of such power as our fath ers never dreamed of and yet every where the humblest Christian has at his finger tips the lever which controls the greatest of all power, that of the spiritual. ‘The effectual fervant prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” The power of prayer is illustrat ed and demonstrated by its irresist able reaches. (1) Prayer reaches up up to God. If prayer can bring the soul of man up into the presence of God, say not that pray er is powerless. In the second place (2) Prayer reaches in. The soul that finds God through prayer inevitably finds itself. Man never actually (knows himself until he has found I God. To those who seldom pray, I Christianity is not an experience, j a life, it is but a” profession, thru prayer man finds God and reaches into the very heart of his own existence and there discovers all that has kept him from God. The secret of prayer lies in its power of being able to look into the very heart of man. Ecience has never possessed that power. In the third place. Prayer reach es out. The soul first finds God then itself, and then its neighbors. Prayer reaches its greatest privi lege and joy when it becomes in j tercessory prayer praying for J others. Think of the prayer-life of | Jesus. Prayer works if we work it. We stand on the threshold of unexplored worlds. Again, Prayer reaches through. Prayer like Paul’s great concept of love with its length, depth, breadth and height—four directions in which to travel. George Muller had walls of difficulties around his or phanage of faith but not a wall that prayer could not penetrate. George W. Carver, reverent negro scientist, found walls everywhere— i but he made the personal discovery that prayer was greater than any law he might discover in his lab oratory and so first he prayed— then he experimented. Today our world is totering on the very brink of disaster. This could •so easily be the very twi light hour of civilization. Ha tfl, greed and jealously sweep wave upon wave across the faces of the! globe. Prayer still remains the mightiest weapon of the souls who believe. Through prayer we see J our sins and failures and shake | off our sinug provincialisms and I become world citizens as we reach out to those who so desparately need help in this day. W. R.

John Wesley Film To To Be Shown Here On Sunday July 17 The new motion picture “JOHN WESLEY” is coming to Cumming, Georgia. It will be shown at the Cumming Methodist Church on Sunday July 17 at 8:15 p. m. ac cording to the pastor, Rev. John Ozley. The feature-length film is in the new Eastman color and was pro duced by the Radio Film Oommisc sion of The Methodist Church in cooperation with J. Arthur Rank. It brings to the screen for the first time the dynamic and color ful 18th century evangelist and educator: John Wesley’s miraculous rescue from a burning house at the age of five at the beginning of the film, forecasts the dramatic and eventful life which unfolds in this story of a man of slight stature but of impelling influence upon his contemporaries and upon history. The English clergyman thought his venture in America as a mis sionary to the Indians in the Geor gia colony was a failure, but It was the kind of failure which open ed the door to the discovery of a religious certainty he had been seeking. Furthermore, this discovery, in which John Wesley felt his “heart strangely warmed”, led him to face mobs unafraid, and to ride 250,000 miles on horseback, changing the masses of English people from a low state of moral degradation to sturdy and happy uprightness. His “enthusiam” was frowned upon by the lethargic leaders of the Church of England of that day, but it was this new-found enthu siasm which enabled him to in fluence so many phases of the life of English-speaking peoples. His appeal to the common man,, his establishment of schools, clin ics, lay preaching and societies— finally his sending of supervisors for the movement in the new world after the American Revolution— all these make the film one which { will be long remembered. j The Rev. Mr. Ozley explained , that while the film is being releas ed only to Methodist churches dur i ing the inital period, the public is j invited to see the picture at the Cumming Methodist Church. i ASC NEWS ■ ( Preliminary returns from the re l ferendum held Saturday, June 25, 1955 in the 36-State wheat produc ing area show that 77.5 percent of farmers voting favor marketing quotas for 1956 crop wheat, the U. S. Department of Agriculture announced today. Preliminary returns show a total of 328,049 yotes counted about 15.4 | percent more than last year. Of .these, 245,197 ( 77.5) percent favor ed marketing quotas on 1956 crop wheat and 73,852 (22.5 percent) were opposed. Although this is a preliminary tabulation, the final total is not expected to show any significant change. Because wheat marketing quotas proclaimed by Secretary of Agri culture Ezra Taft Benson last May (13 are effective on approval by two-thirds or more of farmers vot ing in the referendum, marketing | quotas will be in effect for the ; 1956 crop. The referendum marked the fifth time farmers have voted on mark eting quotas for wheat. They ap proved quotas for the 1941 crop by an 81 percent favorable vote, for the 1942 crop by 82.4 percent, the 1954 crop by 87.2 and for the 1955 crop by 73.3 percent. 4-H GIRLS LIKE TO COOK Meal planning and food prepar ation was the most popular pro ject in 1954 with 4-H Club girls.
