Newspaper Page TextWeekly Devotional REV. GARY J. COOK Pleasant Grove Congregational Methodist “Our Four Relationships With God” We have found that our first three relationships with God are: first condemnation, next justification, and then sanctifi cation. Our fourth relationship with God is one of dedication. In Romans 12:1-2 we find: “I beseech you therefore, breth ren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” The Scriptures tell us to present our bodies “a living sacrifice” -a living example of Christ is mankind. We are charged by the Word of God to dedicate our bodies (every part of our being) to the service and glory of God. The Christian is not to conform to the standards of the world, but to be transformed in his mind to the standards of Christ: he is to be changed from sin and self, to a Christ-centered person. “... Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness and let us put on the armour of light (Romans 13:12).” Let us “put ... on the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 13:14).” We are to put on or receive, or yield to the Holy Spirit and dedicate our lives to His will. “For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink ; but righteous ness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost (Romans 14:17).” Our ultimate desire as a Christian in this world is to live a dedicated, Spirit-filled life. Paul’s prayer for the Christ ians at Rome is found in Romans 15:13, “Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.” Homemaker’s Corner Hi By RACHEL TORRANCE Butt* County Home Economilt In spring time a young man’s fancy turns to love, and a young girl’s fancy usually turns to thoughts and details of a wedding. If you are a prospective bride or the family of a bride or groom-to-be there are many rules of etiquette and tradition to remember and consider in planning a wedding. The University of Georgia has a newly published booklet, “Your Wedding Your Wonder ful Day” to help you remember what to do and when to do it. This booklet is free for the asking - just call or come by the office. Did you know that the groom has the financial responsibility of flowers for the bride, the mothers and grandmothers and all the men in the wedding party? The bride pays the fees for the sexton, organist and soloist, but of course the groom takes care of the clergyman’s fee. The invitations should be mailed a month prior to the wedding date, and they should be addressed in black ink rather than ballpoint pen to be completely proper. There are other important points to remember on how to deal with the inner envelope, etc. My suggestion would be to read a good book of etiquette before starting on any of the wedding plans. If you have any special problems I will be happy to help you find the answers. Plan ahead so you will be able to relax and enjoy your wedding day. Jenkinsburg News By Mrs. T. H.

BUBBER JONES ACES NO. 3 AT DEER TRAIL Bubber Jones on March 4th joined Butts County’s most exclusive club - those who have made holes-in-one at Deer Trail Golf Club - when he placed a seven iron shot ten feet from the green on the 155 yard par 3 No. 3 and had the ball roll into the cup on the second bounce. Mr. Jones said it was the first hole-in-one he had ever made and that since the pin was to the rear of the green he could not actually see the ball roll to the cup and feared he had rolled into the sand instead. He was playing in a foursome of Pee Wee Norsworthy, Ray Thaxton and Bill Presley.

Wedding bells, door bells, dinner bells, school bells, sleigh bells ... all speak of a country where freedom from tyranny exists. Chimes also keynote freedom of speech as commentators broadcast the news. Typewriter bells png out freedom of the press. And church bells, whether they be the musical chimes from a cathedral's spire, or the ding dong from the steeple of a village chapel, typify freedom of religion. Churches throughout the land are open to all. Inside their doors, we cast aside worry that shackles our hearts in this atomic age. We find strength and courage to face the unknown future. Our faith, hope and trust in God, who says, "Fear not; for I am with thee," is renewed and peace fills our anxious souls. Let us accept the invitation of the bells to "Come and worship," and go to church regularly.
