Newspaper Page TextWeekly Devotional Rev. R. W. Jenkins, Pastor Macedonia Baptist Church “Hie greatest of these is love” I Cor. 13:13 Before Henry Drummond ever wrote his famous sermon, The Greatest Thing in the World, Pafil, the great apostle, had declared it to be so. He said that it supercedes both faith and hope. These two are * great and essential qualities in the Christian life and without them, one would not get far. However, love is the all enveloping quality that must invade all of the Christian teaching and the life of the believer as well, if his life is to produce any real good in this world. The love that Paul is talking about in this 13th chapter of I Corinthians is of a special kind. It is more than romantic love and friendship kind of love or even more than parental love. It is a self giving sacrificing love, like the love that Christ Jesus had for us when He went to the cross to die for our sins. This love goes beyoond the reception of all other spiritual gifts and must be coveted after more than anything in the Christian life. This love never suggests that one should do because of what they have done. It never asks, “What will I get out of it?” This love never pushes itself. It never seeks to justify itself by gloating over the evil deeds of others. Neither does it become angry easily, but it has the patience of Job. The writer of this great chapter holds this unselfish love as the true ruling principle of all that we do. He also calls our attention to the fact that this is the only thing that will last through all eternity. Other things will fail or pass away. Faith and hope will come to be sight and reality but love continues forever. Now it is the Spirit of Christ living in the heart that can produce this kind of love and without a growing awareness and development of this love one does not have Christ. So we can see how important it is to know Christ and to allow his love to possess us. Auburn A Point Pick Over Vols The first week the headliner was U. C. L. A.-Nebraska . . the second week, L. S. U.-Colorado . . last week, it was North Carolina State-Ne braska . . and this week, the national spotlight is on the blockbuster between Okla homa and Southern California. They’re ranked 3rd and 4th in that order in our top 20. The Sooners have had a week off since their impressive trounc ing of Baylor in their season opener, and the Trojans have defeated Arkansas and Geor gia Tech on successive Saturdays. Both teams are capable of such offensive explosions, it should be a tremendous show. Our pick is possibly a surprise: Oklahoma by nine points. However, Nebraska is still Number One this week, challenged by runner-up Ala bama . The Cornhuskers have a little easier task this Saturday than last as they play Wisconsin. The Tide meets Vanderbilt. And depending on the outcome of Southern Cal-Oklahoma, the two powers could still be on top next week. Nebraska will dump the Badgers by 35, and Alabama will top the Commodores by - wow - 55 points! An old nemesis faces Bth-ranked Notre Dame. The Boilermakers of Purdue, thorns in the sides of the Fighting Irish in past years, meet the Irish in West LaFayette. The Riveters are much more of a darkhorse this fall, but are still figured to be an 18-point underdog to Notre Dame. The two powers in the Big Ten, Michigan and Ohio State, are rated sth and 7th respectively in our national rankings. The Buckeyes will clip T. C. U. by 20 points, and Mrs. Goodwin Dies After Long Illness Mrs. Levia Peek Goodwin, 88, of Hilltop Nursing Home and formerly of Jackson, died Wednesday night, September 19th, at the Monroe County Hospital following a long period of declining health. She had been a resident at Hilltop for the past three years. Born January 25, 1885 in Henry County, she was the daughter of the last Mr. A. J. W. Peek and Mrs. Nancy Thompson Peek, both of Henry County. She was the widow of Mr. Mack Goodwin and was a member of the First Baptist Church of Jackson and the Order of the Eastern Star. Funeral services were con ducted Friday afternoon at three o’clock from the chapel of Haisten Funeral Home with Rev. Don Folsom, pastor of First Baptist Church, officia ting. Interment was in Jackson City Cemetery with Haisten Funeral Home in charge of arrangements. Mrs. Goodwin is survived by one daughter-in-law, Mrs. W. P. Goodwin, of Stockbridge; two grandsons, W. Mack Goodwin of Ellenwood and Harold Goodwin of Stock bridge; one granddaughter, Mrs. Patricia L. Holloway of McDonough; 11 great-grand children; one great-great grandchild; several nieces and nephews. Pallbearers for Mrs. Good win were Pliny Weaver, Mike Allen, Ben Garland, Dr. B. F. Parrish, Banks Weaver, Mer rell Price. Junior Class Will Sell Magazines The junior Class of Jackson High set plans for next fall’s magazine subscription pro gram during a recent meeting. According to Kenny Nors worthy, president of the student group, the campaign will start Sept. 13-27 and be conducted through QSP, the fund raising subsidiary of Reader’s Digest Association, Inc. The profits earned by selling subscriptions will be used for the 1974 Junior-Senior Prom. Students participating in the the Wolverines are a heavy 35-point choice over Navy. Miami, the big upsetter a week ago, goes after Florida State Saturday. The 12th-rated Hurricanes will win by 25 points. Three other members of the Big 8 Conference are in the Top 20 again . . Oklahoma State is a surprising 6th, lowa State is 13th, and Missouri is number 14. The Cowboys are favored over Southern Illinois by 49 points . . the Cyclones will be a 15-point winner over Ar kansas, and Mizzou will take North Carolina by sixteen. In the Southeast Conference, match-ups between conference title contenders and national powers occur almost weekly. This Saturday, it’s Tennessee against Auburn. Last fall, the Tigers upset the Volunteers, 10-6, and this year - well, it could be the same story. Auburn is favored by just one point.
