The
Living
Way
By REV. ROGER WILLIAMS
PASTOR, CUMMING FIRST
BAPTIST CHURCH
One of the fruits or identifying
marks of the Holy Spirit in a
person’s life is kindness. It’s not
merely a superficial kind of
ingrown grin at the world, but it
is an activity which we carry
out. One man told a story that
demonstrates what this is all
about. He told of being stalled in
a blizzard in Kansas. He
stumbled into a store where the
proprietor called someone to
help. In a short time a man
showed up with a team of horses
and pulled him out of the
snowdrift. The man tried to pay
his rescuer and was refused.
The Good Samaritan explained
that he was a Mennonite and
considered it wrong to charge
anyone for a service made
necessary by an act of God. He
concluded by saying, “I will
charge thee nothing but the
promise that thee will help the

Power to the people.
That ’s the job of Georgia’s 41 consumer
owned electric utilities. Getting dependable
electric power to people who live in areas where
they couldn’t get electricity otherwise. That can
mean running lines way out to the one house that’s
twenty miles from nowhere. And it can also mean
bringing electricity—and new industry—into
bustling urban counties. We get around—over
80% of the area of the state, as a matter of fact.
Which means power to one-and-a-quarter million
people. So remember who we are.

next man thee finds in trouble.”
Some years later our man who
had been helped had the op
portunity to pull another man’s
stalled car out of some flood
waters in Missouri. He refused
to accept any pay and repeated
what the Mennonite had said to
him years before. Then some
six years later our same man
was camping in Missouri and he
and his family were caught in a
flash flood and were rescued by
a farmer with a tractor who
pulled them and their car to
safety. Upon offering to pay our
man heard these words from
the farmer, “I will charge thee
nothing but the promise that
thee will help the next man thee
finds in trouble,” words which
had been spoken to the farmer
earlier by someone who had
helped him! How far an act of
kindness can travel!

Winter Benefits
By: WALTER H. RUCKER
County Agent
A lot of landowners walk in
the woods this time of year and
wonder if they are walking in
their woods or their neighbor’s.
This isn’t too hard to un
derstand, for it is rather dif
ficult to tell exactly where
boundary lines are located in
woods. Unless they are clearly
marked, that is.
Well, if your boundaries
aren’t marked, now’s a good
time to mark them. Rhen
Bishop, one of our Extension
foresters, points out that the
work load is a little slack during
the winter. Another reason for
doing this chore now is that
travel in the woods is easy and
safe this time of year. Also,
visibility is at its best, what with
the leaves being off the trees
and all.
So get with your neighbors,
decide exactly where your
boundary lines are, and mark
them. Use a paint that will last
several years. And be sure the
color is different—one that will
not be confused with paints used
to mark trees for cutting.
ABOUT FERNS
Interest in growing ferns
indoors seems to be on the in
crease. Anyway, we are getting
an increasing number of calls
about this.
Ferns usually can be grown
with a minimum of effort. They
are, however, exacting in their
soil and water requirements.
As for the soil, just remember
that nearly all ferns thrive in a
loose, porous soil that is high in
organic matter. Peat moss or
leaf mold mixed half and half
with the soil, makes a good
mixture.
Now about water. Unsightly
foliage will result if the soil is
allowed to become too dry.
Many homeowners, on the other
hand, overwater their ferns and
injure the root system.
Ferns should not be watered
when the soil surface feels quite

wet to the touch. Neither
should pot ferns be allowed to
sit in containers of water.
Overwatering can result in
the same leaf symptoms that
show up when there is a lack of
water. These symptoms include
browning and dropping of the
foliage.
Ferns are also easily injured
by overfertilization. So take
care not to apply heavy rates of
fertilizer to these plants.

All of the present day con
ditions, politically, religiously,
racially, are not foreign to the
Bible, but are just silhouettes
against the dawn of the Biblical
prophecy concerning the
coming of Christ. Luke 21:25-28.
The scriptures are more
comforting to the Christians
today than ever before. For
when the scriptures are rightly
divided (II Tim. 2:15), they
yield the abundant clusters of
the fruit of Canaan. Nu. 13:23.
God forbid that after we have
seen the fruit of the promise to
turn back in unbelief as Israel
did at Kadesh-barnea. Let us
not believe the ill report of the
majority (10), but rather the
two (Joshua and Caleb), who
said that we can claim the
promises.
God has promised to perform
the things concerning David’s
throne, II Sam. ch. 7. “Thus
saith the Lord; if ye can break

my covenant of the day and my

there should not be day and
night in their season; then may
also my covenant be broken

33:20-21a.
The promised performance of
Christ’s birth was fulfilled
according to prophecy. In like
manner, will the second coming
be fulfilled prophetically.
First the church will be
raptured away at his appearing
in the air. I Thess. 4:13-18. Then
after the seven years tribulation
on earth Rev. 19:19-20, Christ
shall come in his revelation with
the church to deal with the
systems of the anti-christ.
A star shines at night: so
Christ in this dark and sinful
world is the Christians’ “Bright
and Morning Star”, Rev. 22:16,
but when he comes he will be
the “Son of righteousness
arising with healing in his
wings...”, Mai. 4:2.
