Page 4A,The Lee County Ledger, Wednesday, May 1, 2019 ■gemgia Forestry Commission Report Trees, Just How Many Products Do They provide? You may not realize it, but what you pour over pancakes, brush you teeth with and take pictures with are only a few of more than 5,000 different consumer products that are made with trees. Products are derived from all parts of a tree. Wood is the most obvi ous. It provides such things as lumber for houses, furniture, doors, picture frames, clocks, paintbrush han dles, toothpicks, coun ters, cabinets, floors, etc. Cellulose is the major component of wood and most other plant fiber. Paper is made from cellulose, and paper products include books, wrappers, cereal boxes, magazines, toilet paper, food labels, etc. Besides being used to make paper, cellulose is an ingredient in many other products. For example, clothing made from rayon includes tree fibers made from vis cose pulp. Syrup relies on cellulose gum for its even-flowing consis tency. Photographic film is made almost exclu sively from cellulose derivatives. Some hard plastic items such as toothbrushes, eyeglass frames, combs, screw driver handles, and toys are made from cellulose derivatives. Pain reliev ing caplets are coated with cellulose ethers that make them easier to swallow. Ice cream makers use cellulose gum for a smooth and creamy texture. Sham poo contains methycel- lulose for thickening to what otherwise would be watery soap. Nail polish contains nitrocel lulose, making the pol ish glossy when it dries. These are just a few of the products derived from trees. The diversity and mul titude of products de rived from trees is great. Therefore, the next time you see a stand of trees while traveling or see a logging truck loaded with trees traveling to the mill, think about the many daily products that those trees will be used for. Remem ber, trees are one of our great est natural renewable resources. Let’s man age our for est resources wisely today for future generations.

Martinez, Ph. D ‘Dem Bones Who would expect the bones of a dead person to speak a message of hope to future gen erations? God’s Word presents such messages to His chosen people and the nation Israel. It should not be surprising that a walk through a cemetery reveals much about the deceased person’s character and life. Those inscriptions often tell volumes concerning the individual’s lifestyle and accomplishments which serve as a testimony to following generations. Scripture recounts the silent witness of a man who, after rising to a position of second in command in the great est empire of his day, Graders’ the egg roles. They are so good!

Since eternity past, God’s plan was to bring a Savior into the yet creat ed earth and human race. Since God is omniscient, nothing would occur that was not foreknown. All that there was to be known in time, with its implica tions and ramifications, were simultaneously evident in the mind of God.

These residents are among approximately 30,000 students, faculty, professional staff and alumni to be initiated into Phi Kappa Phi each year. Membership is by invita tion only and requires nomination and approval by a chapter. Phi Kappa Phi was founded in 1897 under the leadership of undergradu ate student Marcus L. Urann who had a desire to create a different kind of honor society: one that recognized excellence in all academic disciplines. God would call Abram out of Ur of the Chal dees to enter into a land promised to him and to his progeny through Isaac. From him, mirac ulously born to Abraham and Sarah, would come Jacob and the even tual formation of twelve Jewish tribes. However, famine and four hundred years of slavery would precede the deliverance and the formation of the nation Israel. God was preparing and protecting a people of His choosing for ... “He who watches over you will not slumber; indeed, He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep” (Ps 121:3b-4NIV). Faith ful to communicate His Word to all genera tions, God would reveal Himself through Joseph in a most unusual way to future generations of Jewish people enslaved in Egypt. “Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am about to die. But God will surely come to your aid and take you up out of this land to the land he promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” And Joseph made the sons of Israel swear an oath and said, “God will surely come to your aid, and then you must carry my bones up from this place.” So Joseph died at the age of a hundred and ten. And after they embalmed him, he was placed in a coffin in Egypt” (Gen 50:24-26 NIV). Four centuries passed as the enslaved Jews viewed a coffin, ‘“dem bones,” God’s message of hope and deliverance. God was still at work and the time came that... “Moses took the bones of Joseph with him because Joseph had made the sons of Israel swear an oath. He had said, “God will surely come to your aid, and then you must carry my bones up with you from this place” (Ex 13:19 NIV). God’s plan was pro ceeding for He had promised ... “A star will come out of Jacob; a scepter will rise out of Israel” (Num 24:17 NIV). Millenniums would pass as God’s plan to reveal the Savior unfolded in time from the Garden until the day that John the Baptist, preaching in the wilder ness, would interrupt his message with a phenom enal pronouncement ... “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29b NIV). The Cross of Christ lay ahead in which He would crush the head of Satan and offer salvation to the entire human race on the basis of grace. Mankind needed only believe by faith in Christ to possess eternal life.
