THE FORSYTH COUNTY NEWS
The
Living
Way
By ROGER WILLIAMS, Pastor
Cumming First Baptist Church
Do you ever look back at events and places of the past
and say to yourself and others that the old times and places
were much better than the present? I sometimes feel this way
when I reflect on the events of childhood, the places that were
familiar and fun to me that now are either entirely gone or
greatly changed, and I find myself wishing for a simpler, less
complex world. Isn’t it strange how short our memories are
and how quickly we forget the pains of the past and remember
only the good things? The more I reflect on this feeling for the
“good old days” the more I realize they were good because
I was actively creating my “good old days”. I was busy in
bringing them about, making them a reality. Whenever I
cease to do so now, the happiness of the past starts looking
good again. To a man who hasn’t driven one of the newer cars
perhaps the cars of a generation or two ago look good, but once
he drives one of the new ones he’s not likely to ask for one of
the older ones.
Jesus and the Pharisees tangled over this issue quite a bit.
Jesus represented the new, they, the old. Jesus was under
constant criticism because he did not make his disciples
observe the strict and sometimes longfaced customs of the
vailing religious code. John the Baptist made his disciples
follow those restrictions: the Pharisees said John the Baptist
knew enough to recognize the importance of correct behavior
if people were to be accounted respectably religious. Why
didn’t Jesus make his disciples more respectable? The answer
was that in him and through him something new and thrilling
had come into the midst of life. The expansive power of his
Message of the life and love in God could not be expressed in
form. There was in Christ, and there always
must be in Christianity, something of the pure gaiety of a spirit
so free in God that it can be engaged in creating joy and happi
ness. Jesus was not concerned about those things that were
considered good in the past but in finding what is good now.
’ N : ow wine would not be contained in an old wineskin and attempts
:fc> make it do so would result in an explosion. We certainly
don’t have all the truth yet. Human experience is not yet com
pleted and until it is we have the challenging and exciting
of seeking new truth and new applications of old truth.
There must be reverence for the old, but over and beyond that
Vthere must be the recognition that God's redeeming mercy will
be forever making for itself new ways of approach to the needs

Letter To The Editor
Dear Editor:
The Hightower Baptist Association was called into Executive
Session by the Moderator, Vice-Moderator and Chairman of the
Executive Committee at the Macedonia Baptist Church, February
16, 1972 to discuss the bill now pending before the General
Assembly of the State of Georgia which would lower the legal
age to purchase alcoholic beverage from age twenty-one to age
eighteen.
We, the Executive Committee, purpose to submit the following
resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED, that we, the Hightower Baptist Associa
tion, representing fifty-eight churches, with a membership of
19,512, located in Fulton, Gwinnett, Cherokee, Forsyth, Pickens
and Dawson Counties, voice our ooDosition to the lowering of
the age that a person could legally buy alcoholic beverages in
the State of Georgia . . .
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the lowering of the age
to buy alcoholic beverages would greatly increase the tempta
tion to buy and drink alcoholic beverages . . .
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that lowering of the age or
drinking of alcoholic beverages would be harmful to on going
of Christianity and is not according to the teaching of the
Bible . . .
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that we urge all Christians to
use every possible influence on our representatives to delete
this part of the bill pertaining to alcoholic beverages .. .
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that we use all forms Of public

TIPS ON
SELECTING A WIG
Then* are many qualities of
wigs on the market, but basically
these can be divided into two pri
mary categcries—real hair, and
synthetics. Generally speaking,
the synthetics are less expensive.
The principal advantage of buy
ing a synthetic hairpiece is the
fact that they can toe purchased
permanently styled. No further
setting is necessary.
The main advantage to buying
real hair is that it looks real.
There are generally two qualities
of real hair on the market—Ori
ental, and European. The Orien
tal is less expensive, the texture
of European hair is more like
Americjin hair. Take your choice.
Wigs are fine, but don’t neglect
your own hair. Our salon offers
the very finest jn hair care and
styling. Telephone today for an
appointment.

TRAMMELL SPEAKS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)
County Property Owners would have to
raise property taxes some $26,000 of this
raise. Yes, we have ended up in our
county having to pay some 25% instead
of the lower figures for most other
counties. By some quirk of circumstances
our poor county, with some 17,000 people
and very little industry, ended up under
the Formula used by the Minimum Foun
dation Program of paying a great deal more
than our share.
We would ask that you look at us closely.
If we are unable to get relief through a
sensible program we are suggesting, you
will see and hear much from us. We
are asking our Prospective Legislators
this Summer how they stand on this issue.
Those that waver We don’t want.
We wculd just as soon retire them from
their duties here. If you gentlemen on this
Committee think we aren’t serious, ask
