Wesley We usually find that a person who is negligent about the nealth of the eyes is also careless as far as injuries to vision are concerned. This person may neglect the most fundamental safety measures dur ing work or play to guard against such injuries. According to the National Safety Council, eye accidents are estimated at a rate of two per minute — every thirty seconds— during the work- Thia ing day. This W Q v may be said to y cost industry in the United States about S2O million every year. Most such accidents occur in the metal field, but they can happen in all types of industry and are usually caused by either flying particles, noxious fumes, or harmful light. Experts say that 98 per cent of all these eye injuries could be avoided by observing elementary safety rules, including wearing safety goggles at all times. Care lessness, indifference, and thought lessness are the chief enemies of eye safety. Serious eye accidents can hap pen at play, too . . . especially to children. Parents are urged to keep a constant watch over chil dren at play with special empha sis on their toys. Sharp-cornered playthings should be avoided as well as toys that project pieces of metal or wood. Complete vision of an eye could be lost forever if the eye were penetrated by such articles. Freak accidents are well known to all of us, but there are some close calls with happy endings. The National Eye Research Foun dation reports a case where a child was hit in the eye with a dart. He happened to be wearing contact lenses and the dart pierced the tiny plastic lens, but did not touch the eye. We would be better off to keep a sharp eye on children, however, and not depend upon a kind fate. Protect your child's vision at all times.

The annual picnic of the Twiggs County home demonstra tion clubs which will take place at ABUNDANT LIFE ARE YOU LETTING YOUR LIGHT SHINE? A famous man once pur chased an old abandoned farm house which was situated on the slope of a mountain in a sparsely settled area. The man and his wife wanted seclusion from the world, and this place offered it. No "nosey" neighbors to pry, no noisy traffic, no neighborhood children to trample the flower garden! They truly wanted to be alone. But after the man and his wife had repaired the house and had become settled, they both admitted reluctantly that things were "too quiet." They were bored. "Let's take a walk down into the valley and see what's down there," said the man. So he and his wife started exploring their "neighborhood." When they got down into the valley, they came, quite sud denly, upon a tiny house situat ed on a slight rise on the side of a ravine. "Hello," they called. No an swer. "Anybody home? Yohoo!" they cried and pounded on the door. They were met by a little old lady, hobbling with a cane. "Glory be!" the old lady said, "and welcome to me little home. Be yours the window with the light across the valley?" The man and his wife admit ted that it was their light the old woman had seen. "Yer light sure has meant much to me," Couple Will Have Church Wedding OPHELIA MERCER Mr. and Mrs. W. H.

I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. —Luke (15:18-19) Thus spoke the prodigal son, and when he returned home his father welcomed him with rejoicing and forgive ness. Jesus promised in this parable that the Heavenly Father will give the same glad reception to all who, having strayed into sin, turn with contrite hearts and ask His forgiveness. Jay Bird Springs on Aug. 28 was plan ned. Mrs. Frank Elmore presided. Iced tea and cake were served. by ORAL ROBERTS the old woman said. "It's been so lonely out here in the dark." Then she asked them: "Be ye agoin' to stay on your side of the valley and keep yer light burnin' nightly?" The man and his wife then realized that the old lady was depending on their light. Just to know that someone was near—even though on the far side of the valley—gave the old woman comfort. "We'll keep our light burning every night, just for you, dear, and you're welcome to visit us anytime," the man's wife said. Then they went home and pulled back the curtains so their light would shine brighter across the valley. Are you letting your own light shine? There are many who des perately need and want the light that shines from the win dow of a Christian experience. Sometimes people will tell us how they are blest through our own individual testimony or in fluence. Sometimes they do not. We may be assured, however, that somewhere someone "on the hillside across the valley" is watching for our light. If we radiate our light so people can see what God has done for us, we can serve as a guiding light for those who need help, particularly when those people are depressed and upset.
