“A CALL
FOR INVOLVEMENT”
By Rev. John Huggins, Pastor
Jenkinsburg United
Methodist Charge
We began last week with a
discussion of the blend of laity
and clergy that characterizes
the impetus behind movements
in the United Methodist
Church. The first, and most
important to the many denomi
nations who use our literature,
of our movements is the
reemphasis on Bible study. No
church is great without great
Bible study.
Today it takes more than
knowledge of a very few verses
of a particular translation to
exist as a Christian. We need a
whole faith to face a whole
world. When I attended the
Billy Graham School of
Evangelism, I discussed the
call to the ministry with
another minister. After a very
touching sharing of God’s
grace, we began talking about
the price of preparation for a
well-balanced informed parish
ministry. I advised him that
one particular book had helped
me enormously in pastoral
counseling by putting the very
best that psychiatry and
psychology have to offer in
spiritual terms. As his baby
lifted a pacifier, in striking
resemblance he lifted an old
Bible and said, “This is my
psychology book.” I later
discovered that he took it upon
himself to know all there is to
know about the Bible and
Christian faith from that
translation. He would pay no
price of study, preparation and
training. My heart was broken.
How cheap the grace of his
calling had become! I thanked
God that my fellow Methodists
would never be forced to
receive such a man as their
pastor.
Evangelism today is often
cheap grace. All we are asked
to do is come forward and cry a
little. The United Methodist
Church has called upon serious
Christians to ask if this is
enough, to study evangelism in
the light of the cross as never
before.
Many churches today will
accept anyone as a member of
their church who says they
want to join. Asa result, only
the very small denominations
who harp on their beliefs know
what they are. The rest of us
seem to drift along as we are.
The United Methodist Church
has called its members to
study the history and doctrine
of our great church as never
before.
Our county has excellent
representatives of other great
denominations. I hope every
Christian in Butts County looks
seriously at the depth of his
Bible study, the price he is
willing to pay for Christ, the
evangelism he is sponsoring,
and the faith of his church. Our
world needs whole Christians.

Jackson Kiwanians enjoyed
a most unusual program
Tuesday night, November 6th,
when Leslie Young, a native of
London, England, addressed
the club on “The Importance of
Foreign Trade to the Atlanta
Metropolitan Area.” The pro
gram was arranged and the
speaker presented by Charles
Campbell, chairman of the
International Relations Com
mittee.
Mr. Young is a graduate of
the University College of
London and during World War
II was a prisoner of war in
Germany. He delighted his
audience with his English
accent and his articulate
manner of putting across
points in his address. The
speaker drew many laughs
from his audience on his
pungent humor, opening his
talk with the remark that the
first thing he learned about
America was that “you can’t
pay cash until you show your
credit card.” President Y. C.
Hudson had earlier introduced
Pliny Weaver as the pancake
sales manager and Mr. Young
commented that he had never
heard that title before.
Mr. Young is president of
Magnum International of At
lanta, a firm that helps supply
the ingredients for the Mars
Candy Company. Mr. Young
said he first came to the United
States six years ago and that

Chicago where he and his wife
resided, they were trudging

They began looking around the
United States for anew home

he termed “a nice place to

Mr. Young disclosed that the
field of international trade is
interesting as far as travel is
concerned, stating that he had
visited 30 countries in the last
three years but the incessant
travel pales on a person after a
while. He criticized the fast
paced world tours that moves a
person so fast they are unable
to really learn any thing of the
country or city they visit. Mr.
Young said a visitor to London
needed six days as a minimum
and often tourists are shunted

Mr. Young spoke of the
shortages that make buying on
the world market so difficult,
citing shortages in soybeans,
peanuts, textiles, lumber, etc.
He disclosed that he is
presently engaged in looking
for raw materials in Georgia
for eight or ten countries. The
speaker commented on the
devaluation of the dollar
abroad and said it is one factor
making the whole world more
prosperous and that more
people are well off now than
ever before. He said Georgia’s
role in international trade is
important and pointed to the
fact that the United States is
exporting far more products
than it did a few years ago
