PASTOR’S VIEWPOINT
BY REV. EDWARD ARNOLD
Assistant pastor,
Trinity Freewill Baptist Church
AN OPEN LETTER TO ED
SULLIVAN
Dear Ed,
I am writing this letter to
you because you have become
my pastor. Instead of going to
church on Sunday nights, I
have stayed at home and
listened to you. It took so little
effort to relaz on Sunday
nights and watch your
wonderful T.V. program.
Now understand, I’m not
lazy. I don’t get convicted
listening to you like I would if
I were in church.
Ed, I’m in the hospital now
and I need your help. I can’t go
to my pastor at the church, for
in substance I have slapped him
in the teeth every Sunday night
when he preached. I said in
effect, “What you have to say
doesn’t interest me one bit.”
Why should 1 lower myself to
call him now?
And I feel ashamed to go to
God because I have put Him
“second fiddle” to you so
many times. He knows that if I
get well, I will do as I’ve always
done, and keep on listening to
you on Sunday nights. I
couldn’t give up my favorite
program just to worship Him.
Please Ed, will you help me
get well? Also the bills are
piling up. Will you help me
meet my obligations? And
what if I should die?
If I do get well, you can
count on me to be in my place
Sunday night supporting your
program. I will be faithful to
you, a viewer. So, please, Ed,
don’t let me down.
A devoted supporter,
Many A. Churchmember
Satan hinders many
Christians of added blessings
by deceiving them through the
television. Why are so many
professing Christians satisfied
with Sunday School and
Church on Sunday mornings?
A true, born-again, saved,
regenerated Christing would
never get “enoug” of
worshipping his Saviour when
the doors are open.
Christians, out time is
running out. We shall have all
eternity to celebrate the
victories, but we have only the
few hours before sunset to win
them. Time for employment.
Eternity for enjoyment. This
life for battle; the next for the
crown.

Hi
JOHNNY’S BIRTHDAY-Yes, it was Johnny Saunders’
birthday and a party was the order of the day just before
Christmas. A number of friends joined Johnny in the seated
dinner at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John
Saunders. The room was cecorated with a Christmas motif,
using Santa as the main theme. Santa decorated the door
and just above a big mirrow nearby were three large bells
spelling out “Happy Birthday, Johnny” as well as a big
Santa standing in the midst of an arrangement of white
mums and red carnations on the buffet. A big sleigh and
Santa centered the table and smaller sleighs were by each
plate along with glittered Christmas trees. Games were
played before the birthday cake was brought in for the
traditional wishes. Those attending were Johnny and Kathy
Green, Barbara Adams, Nancy Bone, Chuck Willis, Jimmy
Davis, Jayne and Bill Amos, Scott Stalnaker, Milton Harris,
Standly Robinson, Gene Saunders, the honor guest and the
hosts.
Apple Trees
Disappearing
Apple trees planted on the
Butler place on Hwy. 96 and
on the Wainwright place near
Fickling Mill have been
disappearing recently. Skips
have been noted in the rows of
trees in several spots. These
trees were planted by Walter
Wainwright within the last two
years in an effort to start a new
program in this area to add to
our peach growing economy.
This removal of the trees has
become a problem.
Mr. Wainwright stated this
week that he would be glad to
give someone a tree but asked
that the persons involved
please not remove them from
the orchard. He also stated that
the had studeies the trees at an
experiment station and that it
was necessary for the trees to
be cross-pollinated in order to
produce and therefore those
white trees removed along the
road in the areas would not
produce. However if he is
contacted he will give those
persons a red tree needed for
production.

It appears, says TCHS
principal, Mr. Jerry Partain,
that the flu virus has not yet
made its yearly visit to Taylor
County High. Our absentees
have however increased. Friday
there were 53 students absent,
more than the average, which
shows that the flu is getting
closer. The absentees as of yet
have not doubled. Last year
TCHS was closed for a week
because of the flu. Only two
teachers have been absent with
flu so far this year.

Grandma had her way
of saying it.
We have a better way.
Grandma took pride in her home. And with good
reason: it was her world. About the only time she
wasn’t in front of a hot cookstove, she was steaming
over a galvanized wash tub. Or stooping to scrub the
bleached wood floors.
You take the same pride in your home. Your chores
are pretty much the same. But you have a lot more
help than grandma did. You have electricity.
You have a lot less scrubbing and dusting to do.
Because electric heating and cooling are the cleanest
you can buy.
You can be den mother to your Cub Scouts all
afternoon, and still have the roast done when your
husband comes home. Because an electric range can
cook a whole meal by itself. (Some electric ovens even
clean themselves.)
With an electric washer and dryer, you can do the
laundry anytime the hamper gets full. Without waiting
for the sun to shine.
You can have lighting designed for every need, from
putting on your lipstick in the morning to bringing in
the groceries at night.
Put it all together and you have a total-electric home.
Sweet home.
