Cumming Georgia, Thursday, June 28, 1956. Today & Tomorrow Louie D. Newton THE RAIN CAME Our telephone rang one night last week, soon after the first rain since May 4 began falling, and the little boy said: "Told you it was going to rain. Grand mother’s been praying every morning at the breakfast table and every night when we have family prayer. And when she prays, some thing always happen. It was wonderful to hear this testimony from a small boy who believes his grahdmother is in touch with God. I was telling a friend about this call, and he said: "I’d rather have a child say that than to say any other single thing about his grandmother. I know one small boy who says that he does not like his grandmother because she is always asking him to read the Bible to her. This partcular grandmother s nearly bind, and whenever her granson comes to see her, she asks hm to read the Bible, not merely for her pleasure, bue because she knows his father and mother never go to church, and she is trying to do something for him. What bothers me so much is that the boy is missing the point, and he actually dislikes his grand mother.” A few days later I happened to be with that boy, and I asked him how he was getting along. Fine, he repled, and then he looked me straight in the eye, and said: “Do you know my grandmother? I think she is wonderful. I was reading to her the other day, and she stopped me, and asked me if I believed in God. I hadn’t thought about it before, but when she ask ed me that question, I did think about it. And then she prayed for me. I want to feel like she feels. She talks to God about everything After she asked God to save me, she asked Him to send rain, and you know it started raining that night." . .The reference to »nese two grand mothers might point us all to some thing very real and wonderful —to more acquaintance with God knowing Him well enough to talk to Him about our every need .. Certainly we are all most grate ful for the ran, and for those faith ful souls who asked God to send the rain. I hope it may teach us all to pray, as He would have us pray, matching our prayers with obedence to His blessed will Appreciation Day The following merchants appre ciate the response made to the Treasure Chest drawing which is held each Saturday at 2 P. M. at the Court House. It is hoped by these merchants that each of their customers will call for these tickets and be on hand as they May be Lucky and there will be a Winner each Saturday.

Cravey Passes On Fire Safety Tips For Vacationers Taking cognizance of vacation tips passed on by the National Board of Fire Underwriters, Safety Fire Commissioner Zack D. Cravey recommends them to vacationing Georgians. If a summer cottage is to be rented or a new one opened Mr. Cravey urges all to be sbre to: I—lnspect it thoroughly tto see if repairs are needed. 2—Be sure all stoves, refrigerators and other ap pliances are clean and in good working order; if not, get a replace ment. 3lf unfamiliar with a stove or heater, find out how it works— not by tinkering with it which may result in a disaster. 4 -Know how to call nearest firefighters. 5 Do not relax any of your usual fire safety habits. Vacationers going to a hotel are advised to: I—Find out where the fire exits are and study safety in structions posted in room. 2 In case of fire, remain calm. If door of room feels hot, stay Inside near a slightly open window until fire men arrve. 3—Never smoke in bed. In leaving home: I—Look over ashtrays to see that no butts are smoldering. 2—Be sure stove in turned off but not pilot light. 3 If heating system is on, turn ther mostat down to lowest point. 4 Either turn off electric current completing by throwing the main switch, or be sure to turn off TV sets, radios, lamps and toasters. If away for long, turn off refrigera tor, take out food and leave door open. s—Notify polce of your ab sence so they can be alert for evi | dences of burglary or fire. Frankly, we believe a lot of time can be wasted picking bugs out of | one’s lawn. CAN JESUS TRUST YOU? Jesus committed his work and ! placed his trust in his true and 1 tried followers. He did not risk jthe unfaithful because the work he ! has assigned his followers is so im- / j portant he can use only the faith | ful and trusted ones. Can Jesus trust you? Can he trust me Can he trust us to fill our place in the church that he established with his own precious blood Are you a member of the church? How many times have you attended this year? How much have you given to the couse of Christ? The Bible says, “The tithe is the Lords"-have you given it? Can you really say, "I love thy Church O God,” with all the weakness that we can point out in the churches (and there are many) the church of Jesus Christ still exerts the greatest power for good under the sun. The challenge to follow—Christ is greater today than ever before. God can still use men who will listen to Him and believe Him. Can Jesus trust you to rear that child in the nature and admonition of the Lord? Has that child (or children) ever heard you pray and read the Bible? Do you send your child to Sunday School or do you take your child to Sunday School and Church? Perhaps you do neither one—may God help you to see the error of your way. It is a wonderful encouragement for Chris tians to worship, sing, pray, have fellowship and work together. To gether we can accomplish greater things. "We are workers together with God". Can Jesus trust you with your time? How do you use your time? Is it for your own selfish purpose or for the good of others and for the glory of God? We must love people if we are Christians. “He that loveth not knowth not God for God is love”. The love of God in your heart is the orjy power that can drive hate out of your life. Don’t let the inconsistencies that you see in professing Christians keep you from doing the will of God. You should be serving God not man. Can Jesus trust you in the use of your influence and the winning of others to Christ? Can Jesus trust you in the rise of your talent? God gave you that talent and ability to be used for His glory. Are you hiding your tal ent and not using it at all? You have a place to fill in the plan of God that no one else can fill. You say that you trust Him now, cani he trust you to live for him? W. R.
