“LET US REASON TOGETHER”
Jy Rev. D. A. Lastinger, Retired Methodist Minister
A STAR
Interesting, alluring, inviting,
challenging—A STAR. It is a
light. None could gaze long and
meditatively at the stars but to
be stirred by something which
refines, purifies, and inspires.
And yet, they belong to the
physical universe. However, the
Experience will tell of our need
the unearthly if we are to
know aught of the sublime. A
poet does not write inspiringly
of earthly scenes and experiences
nnless the poet’s soul has soared
into the constellations and found
the Creator of earth and stars—
the God after whose likeness he
was fashioned.
A bright and shining stai; led
the wise men unto a Babe who
Was born to redeem men. He
war “The Sun of Righteousness’,
the “Light of Men.” Many did
not know about Him. Among
those who knew only the wicked
were disturbed, while hope
sprung in the breast of the
righteous. The righteous since
His day on earth have been the
light of the world. His light
shines unto all the earth through
the righteous.
Men have Christmas because
Christ came. They sing Christ
mas carols, tell of the shepherds
and angelic choir, of the wise
men and the Babe. “Glory to
God in the highest, on earth
peace, good will toward men”,
has been sung in every quarter
Os the ’ earth. Men and devils,
hatred and war, have never
through the centuries been able
to stop it.
Yet, the earth is blood-soaked.
Men are unwilling to believe
and reflect His light. May He
have mercy upon us and help us
in our dire need of this day. Too
Often we have observed Christ
mas without practicing the Christ
spirit. People who have never
known will fail to understand
Olis. BUT WE HAVE KNOWN.
Ovr Christmas should prove a
blessing to us . . . and to OT
HERS.
A Christian celebration would
do great things for us, personally.
It would bring into our homes
and churches a new light and a
new day. Try it. You will cer
tainly find a BRIGHT AND
SHINING STAR—if you look for
it When you come to the end of
Christmas day may you know
Cl rist and the meaning of C.hrist
m - ’ lore nerfectlv. If vou'want
th •il n ce and ’ay of jhe day
V ven then c -ry th.lt n^tce
and joy to others —in Christ’s
name. Look about you and fol
low the gleam of A STAR.
Paul wrote to the Corinthians
paying, ‘Ye are not your own.
For Ye pre bought with a price.
Therefom "lorifv God in you’’
bodv. and in vour spirit, which
are God’s.” God claims our lives.
That claim is based primarily
ui hf f ct th it He creat'd us.
O' rship of H's creation is
beyond argument.
Not only did He create .us, but
when man was fallen and hooe
lessly condemned, then God
mercifully and immediately
sought to train the faith of man
Upon the One who should come
and the One who would “bruise
the serpent’s head”. Almost page
by page the Old Testament pic
tures a REDEEMER for men
who can ever be seen .nor and
more clearly. Christ came and
paid the price for our sins. And
what a price it was! God’s claim
upon our lives was never under
any question. That claim is now
established anew and at the
greatest price >’ < g d cor'd
pay. Reverently v \'d - ,
God has done He- best for us.
What are we going to do about
that indisputable claim of God
over our lives?
We want the benefit of redeem
ing power, the sure hope of ever
lasting life. We would not ex
change THAT for all else, We do
not INTEND to surrender it. We
may, however, drift with the cur
rent and enjoy the so-called
while the benefits and hopes for
redcriiption are swept away. And
|II, because, in practice we denied
. Hit-ownership of our lives.
, We have come almost to a new
year. We have as good a chance
as we have ever had through ail
the years, or ever will have in the
years to come, to bring all the
SUBSCRIPTION RATES:
records, good or bad, and spread
them out before the Lord, say
ing, “Now, Lord, I might have
made a awful affair of my life
this year; but I plead with Thee
for forgiveness and cleansing,
and here and now I promise to
acknowledge Thine ownership.”
What a glorious thing this will
be for those who will do it.
Take a backward look as you
stand on the threshold of a new
year. See what .things are there
which you wish from the bottom
of your heart were not in the re
cord. Well, Christ can, and will,
blot them out—if you want it
done. BUT THEY STAND
THERE, unless you yield your
heart to Him and find cleans
ing. And you must acknowledge
His claim upon you and your
life.
Give your heart to God. Say,
“Lord, by Thy help I will see that
the record of 1955 does not con
demn me or dishonor Thee as
does the record of 1954.” God
will see you through the year
if you will obey Him, and trust
Him. And if you should not see
the dawn of another new year
He will still hold your hand and
see you through to the end.
Right new year’s resolutions and
practices would be the means of
saving many a lost soul.
Program Adopted
By Alumni Group
Os Ag College
With its constitution adopted,
state officers and directors elect
ed, 60 counties organized, and
nearly 500 members paid, the
Alumni Association of the College*
of Agriculture of the University
of Georgia was making plans this
week to carry out its four-fold
purpose.
The purpose of the new organ
ization as set forth in the recently
adopted constitution is to (1)
bring about a closer spirit of fel
lowship and cooperation among
the ex-students of the College of
Agriculture; (2) maintain close
working relationships with offi
cials of the College of Agriculture
and others on programs affecting
the development of a sound and
profitable agriculture in Geor
gia; (3) advance and promote
strong resident teaching, research,
and Extension Service programs
of the College o f Agriculture. and
(4) cooperate with and sunoovt
t’ Schools of Veterinary Medi
cine, Home Economics, and
Forestry, and the Divisions of
Vocational Agricultural and
Home Economics of the State
Department of Education.
Officers and directors to head
the Association’s program were
elected at a recent dinner meet
ing in Athens, with W. A. Mad
dox. Jr., Atlanta, being chosen as
president. W. Tap Bennett. Sav
annah, was elected vice-presi
dent, and A. M. Bennett, Wash
ington, secretary-treasurer.
J. Phil Campbell, Commissioner
of Agriculture-elect, who served
as temporary vice-president of
the Association, said at the elec
tion meeting that College of
Agriculture alumni must work to
o’ ! : fcr f- -yoHcg the things
it needs. He added that it will
up to the people who are not de
pendent on the state to bear the
brunt of the load.
Dr. O. C. Aderhold, president of
the University of Georgia, told
the Ag College alumni that, in
the final analysis, people get the
kind of education, the kind of
college of Agriculture, etc., that
they are willing to work for.
Pointing out needs of the Col
lege of Agriculture, Dean and
Director C. C. Murray said some
of them are a science center, an
agricultural engineering bv’ Id
mg. a food technology building
and a coliseum.
Apple Keep Sprouts Away
An easy way jo keep stored
potatoes from growing sprouts is
to put a few ripe apples with
them, say horticulturists at the
University of Georgia Agricul
tural Extension Service. Even in
high temperatures of a basement,
annles will inhibit sprout growth
from January to June.
THE BRANTLEY ENTERPRISE
. EDITOR and OWNER
FOR HEALTHY HEART FOLLOW
THESE RESOLUTION IN 1955
“As a rule, the cold weather months bring on a 13
percent increase in deaths from heart and circulatory dis
eases”, according to Dr. Ellison R. Cook 111, of Savannah,
President of the Georgia Heart Association. For these who
want to protect their hearts and live longer and happier
lives, the Georgia Heart Association today recommended
that all New Year’s lists contain these resolutions:
1. Treat respiratory infections
promptly. “The winter increase
in heart deaths is largely the re
sult of the prevalence of pneu
monia, bronchitis and similar in
fections which often impose a
heavier-than-usual strain on the
heart and circulatory system
during this period. Don’t take
winter infections lightly; seek
prompt and adequate treatment
for them.”
2. Aviod self-diagnosis. “If you
haven’t had a health and heart
examination during the past year,
see your doctor soon,” advised
the Association. “If your heart is
sound and if treatment is not in
dicated, needless fear and anxie
ty can be eliminated. If a heart
ailment is revealed, suitable treat
hrent can be started immediate
ly.”
3. Avoid unusual exertion.
"Strenous activity will not harm
a healthy heart”, declared the
Georgia Heart Association, “but
irregular and unaccustomed ex
ercise is a real threat when the
heart is diseased. As a rule, ex
ercise regularly but in modera
tion, particularly if you have a
desk job and are over 40 years
old.”
4. Aviod over-fatigue. The
Heart Association urges you to
get sufficient sleep and rest.
“Your Heart works for you
around the clock every day of

vour life. When you rest or sleep,
its work load is lightened.”
5. Avoid over-weight. “Excess
weight means extra work for
your heart and blood vessels”,
the Georgia Heart Association
stated. “You Will look, feel and
w’ork better—and you will pro
bably live longer—if you keep
your weight close to normal.”
6. Avoid Worry. “Don’t burden
your heart with needless worry.
Worrying cures or prevents no
thing. So don’t be guided by old
wives tales, fallacies and super
stitions. Know the facts about
heart disease and your own
heart. For information about the
heart, write the Georgia Heart
Association. For advice about
your heart, always see your doc
tor.”
7. Support the Heart Associa
tion. “With diseases of the heart
and circulation responsible for
nearly 800,000 deaths yearly, or
about 52 per cent of all deaths,
the Heart Association’s fight
against these diseases needs the
support of everyone. The annual
Georgia Heart Fund Campaign
will be held throughout Feb
ruary. Resolve now to ‘Help
Your Heart Fund—Help Your
Heart’.”
Curtains of very sheer material
should be starched lightly before
stretching.

size and jumped to seventh place
in the nation recently with the
certification of 1,333.887 acres of
privately-owned forest lands. “A

children in Georgia.”
To qualify as a Tree Farmer, a
landowmer must protect his wood
land from fire and over-grazing
and must harvest for continuous

zens.
The Patterson FFA chapter 10-
acre tract in Pierce was one of
the school forests certified.
POULTRY LICE CONTROL
F6r small farm flocks that use
roosts, poultry lice can be con
trolled easiest and most effec
tively with the roost paint me
thod using a one percent lindane
solution. However, it is essential
that all the birds are on the
roost the first few nights, be
cause one infested bird can te
infest the whole flock, according
to Dr. C. R. Jordan, entomoldgist
for the University of Georgia
Agricultural Extension Service.
