Newspaper Page TextQuestions and Answers on the Bible BY MRS. GLADYS B. JOHNSON Readers are invited to submit questions they would like dis cussed to Mrs. Gladys B. Johnson, Blackshear, Ga. Do the Saints in Heaven Know What is Taking Place Here Upon Earth? Yes, I believe that they do and I would like to use Scripture as a basis for my belief. First of all, in Deuteronomy 26:15 we read, “Look down from thy holy ha bitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us . . Now turn to I John 3:2. “Be loved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be; but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is.” If we are to be ‘like him’ then we too, can look down from the parapets of heaven and see what our friends and loved ones are doing here. You may say, “How can I be happy in hea ven and know that my husband, wife or child is living in sin and still unsaved?” Remember that Christ also knows of the sin, suf fering and sorrow in this old world and yet even while He was still here upon earth He looked forward to the joy that would be His in heaven for we read in Hebrews 12:2, “Who for the JOY that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” If Christ can be happy in hea ven knowing all this, surely we will be satisfied. When Moses and Elijah who had been in heaven for hundreds of years, stood with Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration, they ‘spoke of his decease which he should accomplish in Jerusalem’. Luke 9:31. How did they know what death Jesus was to suffer unless it had been the subject of discussion among the inhabi tants of heaven? Turn your Bibles to the 28th chapter of I Samuel where we have the record of a remarka ble incident taking place between Saul and the witch of Endor. Be cause of sin in his life Saul no longer was able to communicate directly with God. He needed ad vice and so he asks this woman who dealt with the spirit world (and there is a spirit world) to bring back from the dead the spirit of Samuel — the prophet to whom he would not listen while he was still alive. When Samuel appeared he spoke to Saul, telling him that he already knew of his sin and that he also knew what God was going to do about it. Samuel had been watching from heaven the events which had been taking place in the kingdom of Saul. In Revelation 6:9-11 we read, “And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held; And they cried with a loud voice say ing, How long, 0 Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and a venge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was told unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season; until their fellowservants also and their bre thren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.” These are those individuals who are slain because of their faith in Christ. They are seen by John in heaven as they are crying out to God for justice for those who are being persecuted on earth and asking that they might be avenged. They are below the al tar of the temple in Heaven, but they see the wars, wickedness and wantoness on earth. However, God does not leave them in doubt, but tells them that right will pre vail and that they should just rest for a little season and He would make all things right. Sin would be punished. Yes, the saints in heaven are concerned about the affairs of earth, but their chief desire is the same as that of the Lord Jesus Christ: They want to see their loved ones saved. “I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that re penteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.” Luke 15:7 Who will be rejoicing? The saints who have gone on before, of course. The last Scripture is the 11th chapter of Hebrews which we call the Faith Chapter of the Bible. There we find a long list of those men and women who were known for their great faith and trust in God and which leads us to the first and second verses of the 12th chapter. “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay a side every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith.” I believe that this cloud of witnesses is made up of saints who have preceded us to heaven and are even now eagerly watch ing to see how we ‘run the race.’ They are our cheering section as it were and certainly with such a group of spectators we should be able to lay aside all those sins which would prevent the complet ing of our course. 46TH CROP SHOWS GOOD PROMISE FOR ATKINSON FARMER An Atkinson County farmer who is winding up his 46th tobacco crop has seen many significant changes in tobacco production in his time. Willie McKinnon, who lives near Willacoochee, grew his first crop in 1918 and he re calls that in those early years yields were around 1,000 lbs. per acre. A yield of 1,500 lbs. was exceptional. Now it is not unusual to see yields of 3,000 pounds per acre. Mr. McKinnon attributes these increases to better fer tilizers, better disease control methods, irrigation and chemi cal sucker control. He does not, however, believe in using excessive amounts of fertilizer now being applied by some growers “because this causes late harvesting and poor qual ity tobacco.” About four years ago the black shank disease attacked Mr. McKinnon’s tobacco crop butby, using good crop rota tions and other recommended control measures he has been able to prevent further out breaks of the disease. He con tinues to plant the Hicks va riety. Mr. McKinnon gives hi s farm labor much of the credit for his success with tobacco production. He has been able to keep the same labor on the farm for 25 or more years. “Experienced labor,” he says, “is very important. This is especially true in harvesting because the experienced labor will harvest only leaves that are fully ripe.” This year despite the early season heavy rains, Mr. Mc- Kinnon’s tobacco crop is uni form and offers good prospects for an excellent crop, County A,sent J. H. Daniels says. With 45 crops behind him and the 46th on the way, Mr. McKinnon has now turned over much of the farm oper ations including corn, hog pro duction and timber and tur nentine operations to his son, Caroll. 'Oklahama' to Be Presented In Waycross Rodgers and Hammerstein’s musical comedy “Oklahoma!” that set the all-time record run on Broadway, will be presented by the Waycross Teenactors this week at the Waycross City Audi torium.

Chaos in a Car Can Be Dangerous The restlessness of energy charged children when cooped up in the family car for several hours on a motor trip can ruin a vaca tion before it starts, unless par ents use a little ingenuity One of the best ways to keep youngsters occupied is to supply them with quiet car games, books and other similar diver sions. Then, too, definite rules of discipline should be established for children whenever they ride in the car — no dangling arms or feet out windows, no roughhouse With the children under con trol, your journey will be less tiring and safer. ROSCOE DEAN Dean Is for Dedicated Public Service Guided by Christian Principles State Senatorial Candidate Ros coe Emory Dean Jr, of Jesup said today that the citizens and tax payers of the Sixth Senatorial District are shareholders in a half-billion-dollar-a-year Corpora tion known as The State of Geor gia. As a taxpayer and citizen you are entitled to your fair share of the benefits and services, pro tection and prosperity of your state government. These are, by right, your dividends. If you own stock in a private corporation, you want that cor poration run by people who have trained themselves for the job, people who have specialized as chemists, electricians, mechanics, paper makers doctors, rocket builders and so on. The people who run your gov ernment — especially the people who represent you and your in terests in that government — should be men and women dedi cated to the single job of public Sl|aEaaiM^TOwMwMß^«gpjWß»lMlOiß|wafei^#£laßffi MMEIbil wSew z ^?4gßs^a«WirUafWjEitßflsMsaß£^3iß^ MBfroßillblMM ■ < MESafflawfea. |B ' BR^traK 'nCdEr'^ - , - r Wfc~llff iljWr^ - service, trained in promoting and organizing, clean of character and close to the people. You can not always be properly represent ed by someone who enters public affairs as a sideline. In this country, we specialize in all of the important fields that deal with the welfare of the peo ple and the security and pros perity of the community. Then certainly we should elect public servants who are specializing in government and what it can do for all of the cititzens who sup port it. I have prepared myself for ten years for my first entry into the field of ELECTIVE public ser vice. Much of my preparation was voluntary public service to my district, state, and nation. I was the state’s first organizer for Youth for Governor Herman Tal madge. I have served on con gressional executive committees and staffs. It was my privilege to serve as a page boy in the Georgia Legislature and U. S. Senate. I hold a Doctorate De gree. I am a member of the Geor gia Air National Guard. I am a businessman, farmer and tur pentine producer. Your welfare health, education, prosperity, se curity and happiness — is my primary interest and impelling reason for seeking to serve you in government. I want to dedicate the rest of my life to PERSONAL SERVICE TO YOU AND PUBLIC SERVICE TO MY DISTRICT. DEDICATED PUBLIC SERVICE GUIDED BY CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES IS MY MOTTO. I will consult you, then carefully weigh all questions con cerning your welfare and when my vote is cast, it will always be in your best interests. I will fight for lower taxes and local self government, I WILL NOT BE A YES MAN. Your vote for me will really be a vote for yourself. . ' (Adv.)

The United States five-cent coin, widely known as a “nickel,’.’ is actually a metallic alloy only one quarter of which is nickel while thi other 75 per cent is copper. With few exceptions, it has been that way since the first such five cent coin was minted in the Unit ed States in 1866. |Why this handy and familiar com, unlike any other, should be named after only 25 per cent of its metallic content no one is qui'e sure. True, the attractive Canadian five-cent coin is pure nickel but it was not introduced until 1922. Coinage experts believe, how ever, that it could well be because nickel, even though a minority portion of an alloy, imparts its own color and brightness to the metal with which it is combined. Another possibility is that pure nickel and its alloys have been used in coins for so long — nickel copper coins were minted in the Kingdom of Bactria 21 centuries ago — the association is only na tural. Whatever the reasons, there is no doubt that nickel is a most widely used coinage metal. Some 150 million pounds of nickel have been used for coins within the last 75 years. Two-and-one-half billion coins containing nickel are minted throughout the world each year. Pure nickel coins, first used in Switzerland in 1881, have been adopted by 45 countries for 134 different coins. An alloy of cop per an nickel, not unlike that us ed in the United States nickel, is the most widely used coinage ma terial in the world, providing more than 200 different types of coins in 70 countries. Nickel and its alloys are popu lar as coinage materials, accord ing to authorities, because the metals are readily available at a comparatively low cost; are cor rosion resistant; possess a rich sheen and color; and are pleasant to the touch. A nickel coin is ex pected to last at least 40 years and even then can be remelted to make new coins. Because of their high melting point, nickel coins are difficult to counterfeit but not difficult to mint into attractive design. Perhaps the most original rea son for the popularity of a nickel coin was discovered by natives in the Fiji Islands. Not equipped with pockets and disdaining to carry purses, the natives carried coins in their mouths. They much preferred the nickel-alloy money because the coins left no un pleasant taste. •••••••••••••••••••••< 'Buy Lines' FOR GEORGIA CONSUMERS ••••••••••••••••••••••I Q.
