Newspaper Page TextWeekly Devotional Rev. David Black Jackson and Fellowship Presbyterian Churches • “In everything God works for good,” says the scripture, “with those who love him, who are called according to His purpose.” The truth of this grea t promise of God is proclaimed every time some one sings, “Come, Thou Fount of Ev’ry Blessing,” for that hymn began with the prophecy of a drunken gypsy fortune teller. Robert Robinson had gone to see the gypsy because he was bored. At nineteen years of age he was through with schooling and had completed a five-year apprenticeship to master the barber’s trade. He was his own man, responsible to no one, fully able to care for himself. But he was bored with life. He had no purpose, no goal, no reason to live, not enough faith to die. So he bought another round of drinks for himself and the gypsy and leaned back to hear his fortune being told. “Young man,” said the gypsy as she gazed groggily into her crystal ball. “You will live to see your grandchildren.” “Yes,” thought Robert Robinson. “And my grandchildren will regard my life as useless.” The gypsy’s words were still ringing in his ears months later when in December, 1754, he stopped at an open-air revival to hear evangelist George Whitefield warn his congrega tion of “the wrath to come.” At that meeting Robert Robinson found a reason to live and a God to serve. He entered the ministry, and was only twenty -three years old when he wrote this hymn-just four years after God used a drunken fortune teller to set him thinking: Come, Thou Fount of ev’ry blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace; Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise: Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above; Praise the mount-I’m fixed upon it~ Mount of Thy redeeming love.

Phone 775-7872 Manager of Veterinary Services Norden Laboratories Most dogs have all their permanent teeth by the time they are six months old. Normally - if they eat a well balanced diet - they will have no real trouble with their teeth until they are older. Among the most common canine tooth problems are pits, discoloration, worn enamel, breaks and tartar. Though they are not harmful in small amounts, large accumulations of tartar can lead to dental trouble like recession of gums and bacter ial infection. The infection, in turn, could lead to heart trouble or arthritis. Thus, an effort should be made to remove the tartar. You ca n try to do it yourself by washing your dog’s teeth witha piece of cotton dipped in a solution of table salt. If you are unwilling or unable (unless he had been trained from birth a dog may not want to si t s till for a tooth cleaning), see you veterinarian. Your veterinarian will probably administer an anesthetic and then polish your dog’s teeth until they gleam like a toothpaste advertisement. Asfor pits orstains that have developed because of illness, there is little that you can do. Distemper, for example, can permanently stain or pit teeth -even if the attack was so mild it was not even recognized at the time. There is also little tha t can be done about worn teeth except try to convince your pet that his mouth is nota pair of pliers. But broken teeth are another matter. If your pet cracks a tooth, see your veterinarian immediately; often, the tooth can be saved. And if salvage is impossible, then the tooth should probably be extracted before it causes infection and great pain. Another dog dental problem is bad breath. Bad mouth odor may mean a tooth problem - in which case a good cleaning is called for. Or it may be an indication of a digestive ailment, in which case the odor is really originating in the stomach. One way to help avoid tartar and bad breath is to encourage your dog to gnaw on a hard Russell's Restaurant in Locust Grove At Interchange OPEN DAILY Good Food Today and Every Day Open until 10 P. M.

In checking you dog’s mouth, you may notice a tumor. If you see any growth or if your dog has difficulty eating, have your veterinarian check your dog’s mouth. Gum tumors should also not be neglected. They can become easily irritated. Many common gum tumors can be removed by your veterinarian. One question often asked erf veterinarians is, “Do dogs get cavities?” The answer is that dogs are not usually troubled by cavities of the kind that afflict people. As with people, however, a good diet plays a key role in determining dental health. The proper nutritional balance should be maintained at every meal. IN APPRECIATION We shall be eternally grateful to each of our friends and relatives who have been so thoughtful and considerate to us during the past several weeks. We were not aware there were so many wonderful people in Butts County and surrounding areas and that we had so many friends. Your words and letters of encourage ment, your beautiful cards, the flowers and most of all, your prayers, have been a source of strengthand encouragement to us. To those people who have given of their time and energy in raising money for the medical fund and sponsoring the fund raising events in Mike’s name,and to those who have given monetary gifts, we express our heartfelt grati tude. We would like to write each of you personally, but there are so many who have done things that this would be an impassible task. We can thankfully say some improve ment is slowly being seen in Mike’s condition and we still covet each of your prayers for his recovery. Again, thank you for all you have done. -- Family of Mike Barnes. Report From Indian Springs By Mrs. Robert W. Grier, Sr. Our sympathy is extended to the B. T. McMichael family.

It all depends on whether or not you are a lobster-lover. To those who enjoy this succulent fruit of the sea, a lobster is a thing of beauty. To others it seems incredibly ugly. Beauty is “in the eye of the beholder,” but, contrary to another old saying, it is not skin deep. True beauty often can’t be seen at all. It is something you feel, something of which you are aware —not necessarily seen. Beauty, for instance, surrounds you when you walk into a church. There is something in the atmosphere that you can’t quite define. No matter what’s been happening to you, in God’s Home, you feel a sense of peace, of sanc tuary. Had that experience lately?
