Mt. Olive’s 104th Anniversary
" 'i t
'i'i
by Rev. Lee Wallace
Greetings in the name of the
Lord Jesus Christ, who is the
Savior of the world and a
personal friend of mine. First
of all I wish to make it clear
that I’m proud to he called
(not a Baptist of which I am
but) a Christian. I believe the
Holy Scriptures have been
given to us as a guide for every
Christian. Being called by a
denominational name doesn't
make one be saved. However,
being a Christian will. So I say
I’m a Baptist! What is a name if
I don’t obey the word of God?
The Holy Bible is for every
believer. The same God that
demands Holiness of the earlv
church still demands that his
people by Holy.
This is the first of a series of
sermons on being a Christian.
Nearly everyone who has
united with a local church, will
say yes I’m a Christian. To be a
Christian means we act the way
Christ says act. Is that right? If
1 love the Lord, then I will
obey his Holy word. Everyone
that says he or she is a
Christian will say 1 love Jesus.

Sermon
Before Christ
- After Christ
We sing it in our churches,
schools, homes and even in the
street. We sing Oh How 1 Love
Jesus. But Jesus said in St.
John 14:24“IfamanloveMehe
will keep my word.” Jesus says
if you keep His command
ments you love Him. Now
what are his commandments?
If we do not study His word,
how can we know His
commandments? And how can
we love Him? Now some
people say they love Jesus and
still have outside men or
women. They still drink, they
still cheat, lie and do all the
things they did before they
joined the church. Are you
really a Christian? Can I say
I’m a Christian if I do all the
things my friends do who say
they are not Christians? It
can't be so! You are born of
God or you are born of the
Devil. 2nd Cor. 5:17 “Say
therefore if any man be in
Christ he is a new creature, old
things are passed away behold
all things are become new.”
Are you a Christian??????

The Augusta News-Review - July 17, 1975 -
\Astrologv J
FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE MONTH
ARIES (March 21-April 20) People you meet now can be
charming and help give you a good vacation. You may be invited
to a lakeshore cabin they own. Try to buy a few good new things
for vacation weather. What you spend now will repay you in the
future. Don't forget to buy a present for someone who will be
delighted - perhaps an infant just learning to know such things.
TARUS (April 21-May 20) If single, you can become attracted
to someone new in your life. You may be attracted, even if you
are married. You are too cautious and honorable to be disloyal to
your marital vows though. You want safety.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21) You may be in conference about an
important matter. You may have to suffer a lowering of income
or try for another job that does pay more. You can be forced to
change jobs just because of all that is needed in your financial
world. If you do quit, don’t look back at all.
CANCER (June 22-July 22) This marks the end of your
waiting period and dates will be taking up your evenings. You
think of marriage and want to set the date for next month. It
may come true.
LEO (July 23-August 23) A gala trip that you take with
companions will be remembered forever. It may be a long hard
journey, but memory will erase all that and leave only the good
times you have. Spend money this week for it’s time to enjoy
some of what you have saved up.
VIRGO (August 24-September) You may find yourself happier
than ever before. You feel free and easy, have more money
coming in, can buy clothes which you love. Devote some time
now to building up your fall wardrobe rather luxuriously.
LIBRA (September 23-October 22) You may meet the family
of your loved one and enjoy it very much. You like a large family
and it will seem as though you are getting that as well as a loved
one. Life is delightful and you have scarcely a worry.
SCORPIO (October 23-November 22) Your finances are
excellent and you try for more. You may be seeing a lawyer and
working through him. Standing up for yourself and your family is
only natural, but you may not win due to some technicalities.
You dislike losing the extra money you wanted to get, but in the
long run you’ll be satisfied because you can earn much.
SAGITTARIUS (November 23-December 21) Be careful for
whom you do favors. You may make someone be far too
dependent upon you. This could be embarrassing and difficult to
get out of. Just keep the ways you have had and don’t alter them
for anyone.
CAPRICORN (December 22-January 20) You are really
showing feathers of the bird you actually are. You’re happy to be
in love with someone else and just waiting for the right break to
come. You may expect divorce, but you cannot take one step
about it. Waiting can fill you with tensions.
AQUARIUS (January 21-February 19) A shock may strike you
suddenly and your life be changed practically overnight. You
won’t have to be bothered with the child any longer, for you have
to go away to a distant state.
PISCES (February 20-March 20) You may be extremely
sophisticated and yet be near tears when the boss reprimands you
a bit. This is because you haven’t quite grown up in emotional
ways. Try to work with yourself to harden your philosophy
toward yourself, to soften it towards others.
