orders from Washington, all CCC

Baved by grace, but grace teaches
us how to live. We read in Titus,
"For the grace of God that bring-
eth salvation hath appeared unto
all men teaching us that, denying
ungodliness and worldly lusts, we
should live soberly, righteously
and godly, in this present world."
The writer has observed a tenden
cy on the part of certain Christian?
to pay no attention to what graca
teaches. Some of these Christians
are very orthodox. They act as if
they were saying, "I am saved by
the grace of God. I am going to
heaven wh.en I die, so I am going
ahead and do just as I please in
this world.” Such people do not
know the real meaning of grace. A
Christian lives as he pleases, but

We also wish to stress to Georgia
boys that by enrolling in the CCC
they will receive vocational train
ing that may give them a higher

age. This training will also enable
First Epistle of John. The best ren
dering of this would be, "He that is
born of God does not practice sin."
According to this, the habitual sin
ner is not born of God. There is
something inside the life of a sav
ed man that might be compared to
a meter in an automobile. This di

Christian carries the Christian

The first election by the people
resulted in a Troup victory 'over
Clarke.
Then, two years later, in 1827,
the renowned John Forsytn was a
canditate of the Troupites for gov
ernor. Matthew Talbot became the
standard bearer of the Clarkeites. A-
hot campaign ensued. The political
woods were aflame throughout the
state. On Sept. 17, 1827, about two
weeks before the date of the elec
tion, Talbot died in Wilkes county
Georgia. The time was too short to
substitute a powerful man in his
place, and Forsyth was elected
without opposition.
Talbot's death was a profound
shock. He was universally respect
ed and admired for his lofty char
acter, ability and unfaltering devo
tion to the highest ideals of public
office. His courteous, friendly and
genial manners made him a gen
eral favorite with the masses. He
was characterized as a “man of the
people.” They placed the fullest
trust in the rectitude of his pur
poses and in the integrity of his
motives. It has been said that
“Talbot's heart was the seat of
kindness.”
God for his life. Christians are sup
posed to live soferly, righteously,
and godly in the present world.
They are supposed to deny un
godliness and worldly lusts. In
other words, Christians are sup
posed to shoot straight. Someone
has said, “A Christian can sin, but
no Christian can enjoy sinning." ft
is one thing to stumble over a
stone, that Satan puts in a Chris
tian's road. It is another thing to
go back day after day and stumble
over the same stone. Going back
day after day to stumble over the
same stone becomes a habit. He
that is born of God does not prac
tice going back and stumbling
over the stone. One stumble for a
Christian is about all he can
stand. The remorse and bitterness
and agony of soul after a stumble
is more than a real Christian can
endure often. So according to the
writer's understanding, those folks
who habitually sin have no right
to talk about saving grace."Amaz
ing grace, how sweet the sound,
that saved a wretch like me." The
grace of God does not only save us
from the guilt of sin, but grace
when properly understood, will save
us from the power of sin in our
lives and some day the grace' of
God will take us home to heaven
where we will be saved forever
from the very presence of sin.
