Election day is September 121 Many teen-agers in our county,
as well as throughout the state, will vote for the first time.
Georgia, under the leadership of Governor Ellis Arnall, re
duced the voting age to 18 in 1943. This system has worked out
fairly well in our state. There have been no valid objections
raised.
There has been considerable talk in all the states of reducing
the voting age ot 18. However, after almost 20 years, Georgia
has remained one of the few states with the lowered voting age.
Other states find many pro and con arguments on decreasing
the voting age to 18 years. Arguments favorable to the proposals
are: those who fight should be allowed to vote, youth is already
trusted with heavy responsibilities, today’s young people are
more qualified to vote due to educational advances, participation
in politics would be wholesome for youth, and the reduction in
the voting age would balance the political power of the aged.
Arguments unfavorable to the proposals are: fighting has nothing
to do with voting, teenagers are not sufficiently mature, the pol
itics of the young can be easily manipulated, voting is becoming
an increasingly complex job and further improvements in political
machinery should precede a reduction in voting age.
A Gallop Poll conducted in July, 1953, revealed that sentiment
to cut the voting age to 18 had reached an all-time high. The poll
found 63% in favor, and 31% opposed.
While a sophomore at college we debated the question, "Resolve
That All States Should Decrease the Voting Age to 18." Then,
just as today, the main argument of the affirmative was - those
who fight should be allowed to vote. I will never forget the laughs
and applause I received as a member of the negative team when
I said, "As expected, the affirmative team continue to compare
fighting with voting. In both cases the kinds of qualities, skills,
and knowledge involved are not comparable. If we follow the
fight-and-vote argument to its extreme, then logically speaking,
If a man is old enough to vote when he is old enough to fight,
then when he is too old to fight, he is too old to vote."
We, the negative, won 2-1.
So Come September 12 many 18 year olds throughout the state
will cast their vote for the next governor of Georgia.
Welcome fellow voters into the Political worldl Vote your
convictions on Election Day.

GOD’S LOVE PROCLAIMED
Ezekiel 33:1-20; 34 and Psalms
145; 1-13
Thousands of the Jews were
In captivity in Babylon, the re
sult of their disobedience a-
gainst God. They were a stiff
necked and rebellious people,
blaming their plight on their
fathers, refusing to admit their
own sins.
The false shepherds (leaders)
had led them astray and now
they were in a state of de
spondency. They had been al
lowed to carry on their wor
ship but being more than a
thousand miles from the temple
in Jerusalem, the center of their
worship, they thought God had
forgotten them.
As always in the darkest hour
God called out the prophet,
Ezekiel, to bring a message
of hope to his people. The love
of God was real to Ezekiel
for he had an experience and
a vision of God when he gave
him his commission.
He was a strong personality,
exerting influence on the people,
arousnig their hopes and re
minding them of the covenant
God made with Abraham, Issac,
Jacob and Moses to send a
Messiah which had its fulfill
ment when Jesus said, ‘I am
the Good Shepherd.’
This message of God's love
for his people also brought the
assurance of His care for them
but on condition they must be
obedient. They must follow
where the Shepherd leads.
Ezekiel 34 has just a few
of the ’I wills’ of God that
gave comfort to these people
and to all that have followed
them.
Behold, I, even I will both
search for my sheep and seek
them out. I will feed them and
I will cause them to lie down.
1 will save my flock. I will
set one Shepherd over them. I,
the Lord, will be their God
for I have loved thee with an
everlasting love.
Where they had feared ever-
thing he said ‘I will make with
them a covenant of peace even
with the wild beasts that would
destroy them. The wolf shall
dwell with the lamb. Apart from
God man Cannot be free from
fear nor can he have peace
with men.
God had chosen the Israelites
for His people to be a blessing
but they had failed Him. Now
He is giving them a second
chance. ‘I will make them a
blessing, there shall be showers
of blessings.’
The greatest blessing to any
person is the knowledge of God’s
love that while we were yet
sinners, God so loved us that
He gave His only begotten Son
to shed His blood to wash away
our sins.
With this realizstion of the
love of God for us undeserv
ing creatures that we are we
should be willing and anxious
to be used to spread this mes
sage of hope and love to a dying
world saying with Isaiah ‘Here
am I, send me’.
