Newspaper Page TextWeekly Devotional BY REV. FRANCIS L. FORD Pastor Jenkinsburg United Methodist Charge Will Rogers once said “What this country needs is dirtier fin gernails and cleaner minds.” If he were alive today I wonder if Mr. Rogers wouldn’t look around and still make the same state ment. Times have changed greatly since the twenties and early thir ties when Will Rogers was alive and famous. Men don’t have to work as hard physically as they did then. We have all kinds of modern machinery to take much of the toil out of our labors. And the women? They too, have it much better than when Will Rog ers was alive. Wood stoves, fire places, wash pots and homemade soap are things of the past. In their places, the housewife finds herself blessed with automatic ranges, gas heat, automatic wash ers and dryers and soap with j hexachlorophene. But, with all this greatness that has come our way in the last 40 years Or so, what about man’s mind? Is it any better? And if not, why? Will Rogers was one of the really great homespun philoso phers who was able to look past the artificial surroundings and see the real humor of man and also the real heartbreak and ugli ness of that same creature. He brought to many peoples’ minds the awareness that we are really all pretty much alike and that it should be of primary importance that we treat each other with courtesy and respect. A long time ago, a man named Jesus walked the dusty roads of Judea preaching the same kind of message. Peoples’ minds were full of all kinds of bitter thoughts about their neighbors, the out casts, the sick, the poor and the social status of those around them. He challenged men to have cleaner minds and nobler thoughts. But, man’s nature has not changed very much since then. And it seems that man has not made any great improvement in himself since Will Rogers home spun philosopsy was being quoted 40 years ago. Will man change or will man just change the things around him? If it continues to just be the second choice, then we are all doomed tq. two hells. One on this earth and one in the life to come. Will Rogers said “My folks didn’t come over on the JACKSON ELECTRIC & PLUMBING HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING REFRIGERATION REPAIR Repair and Installation. Free Estimates Also Small Appliance Repair.

Odom will be glad to learn she returned to her home in Jackson Friday following a long period of con finement at Georgia Baptist Hos pital in Atlanta. Mayflower, they were here to greet them.” Too many people are too concerned about who they are and not what they are. Jesus continually preached that we should love our neighbors, love our enemies, help those less for tunate and he set the example by washing the feet of the disciples. If we make the same material improvements in the world in the next 40 years that w e have in the last 40 years and man does not change down inside where it real ly counts, what kind of a world is it going to he to live in? Would you w'ant to live in it? Or have your children live in it? Think about it. THE COMMUNITY CHURCH OF JACKSON Rev. W. A. HoLton, Pastor Preaching every Sunday at 11 a. m. and 7:30 p. m.

Mr. Wilson died unex pectedly March 10th following a heart seizure. When Tom retired, it seemed as if his dreams had come true. For years he and Grace had been planning. There would be that little pink house in Florida and time to do all the things they wanted. They could keep in touch with their friends back home, and there would be occasional visits back and forth. What they hadn't realized was how much they would miss their church. It had been such a part of their life! Now it seemed that no other church j could fill the gap. In fact, they didn't go to another church their first few I weeks in Florida. I But finally one Sunday they went to the little church they had been 1 passing each day on the way to the golf course. True, it wasn t like the £ church back home-outwardly. But, when you got down to essentials, it was k nj the same. If you have moved to another community, find anew jU, church home. Regardless of its appearance, remember that it is God's House and in it you will be welcome.
