FALLING BLOSSOMS Tomato and bean blossoms fall ing off and missing kernels on sweet corn can be blamed on Mother Nature and any hot, dry weather she brought on. Horticul turist Frank Cates of the Exten sion Service explains that when night temperatures rise to 80-85 degrees and higher, you can ex pect such problems. If relative humidity is low and tempera tures are high, blossom shedding will be even higher.

Smith, local Southern Bell manager, it is a 'ong way from planting a tree to a telephone pole. Timber suppliers select trees to be made into telephone poles. While harvesting these trees the roar of a power saw shatters the stillness of the forest and a ma jestic evergreen falls to the earth with a dramatic sound. This is both the end and a beginning for a tree to become a telephone pole. For these trees the natural flife’ is over and the tree starts a career serving people. Smith said. These telephone poles seen in Blackshear have endured a pre servation treatment under pres sure and are prepared to last 40 or more years. Strange as it may seem, all the communications in Blackshear are carried over these poles and lines in every direction. There are approximately 2,035 , tele phones now in service in Black shear which is an increase of 78 over one year ago.

JOHNSON Readers are invited to submit questions they would like dis cussed to Mrs. Gladys B. Johnson, Blackshear, Ga. Can We Believe that The Bible is the Inspired Word of God? It would take more than a column to answer this question from a theological standpoint, so in the simplest words possible and by the use of Scripture itself, let me give you my personal testi mony. First of all, I believe the Bible is the infallibile Word of God given by God to man that He might reveal Himself to man and in it could be given His gracious plan of salvation. John 20:31, “But these, (re cords of miracles) are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye might have life through his name.” The Bible came from God so that we might have a guidebook to show how to live as Christians in this present world. 2 Titus 3:16, “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for in struction in righteousness.” What other book known to man has the power to convict men of his own sin as he reads? Souls have been saved by the Word of God alone with a human witness. That is supernatural. It is true that the Bible was composed by human authors; and we are not sure just who all of them were and we do not know by what means God instructed these men to write, but the Bible does say that He directed them. 2 Pet er 1:21, “For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man; but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” God had such control over the minds and hearts of these men that it was as though God Himself placd His hand on theirs and guided both pen and fingers. “They were moved by the Holy Ghost.” If we need proof of inspiration, let us remember that Jesus Christ, as a messanger from God, declared that the Old Testament was of God by His oft repeated Subscription Price and Tax Inside courtty ...' $2.58 Outside county, in state $3.09 Outside state $3.00 CITY OF NAHUNTA son, Lester Gunter, Sr., J.

Walker Park. * * * Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Aldridge and family attended a reunion of the Highsmith family at Kings Lake, Fla., on Monday. Hortense Church Begins Revival Sunday Night Rev. Pierce Corbitt and Rev. W. D. Corbitt of Manor will be e yangeiists in a revival at Hor tense Memorial Church on Sun day night, Sept. 13 and will con trtnie* through SiAiday 20. The Sunday night service and the services each night through the week will begin at 7:30 P. M. “It is written!” This phrase, a mong the Jews, indicated that the quotation was from a sacred book and was divinely inspired. Jesus quotes from four of the books of Moses, the Psalms, Isaiah, Mala chi and Zechariah. Read Matthew 5:18, “For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled,” (The word tittle means the little lines or projections by which the He brew letters, in other respects si milar, differ from each other). Not even the very minutest part of the law should perish. If the Bible were not of God, why should it not have perished long ago as every other thing touched by human hands? By direct statements we are told that the apostles received their teaching and instructions from God. Galatians 1:12, “For I, (Paul) neither received it (the gospel) of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.” True, the Bible has come through the hands of many men and has been translated into many different languages and there are many versions, but that in itself is a proof of its uniqueness. It is still God’s Book and He has watched over it down through the ages as man has sought time af ter time to destroy it. If it had been man made, it would no long er be in existence. It is the only Book which has all the answers to the needs of the human heart. We can read every book written by man and will find no solution for the sin, suffering and sorrow of this life. To refuse to believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God not only takes away our greatest bul wark in time of trouble, but also takes away from us our place in the. Book of Life. JRev. 22:19, “And if any man shall take away from the words Os- thb book of this pro phecy, God .shall; take away his part out of th?, book of life and out .of the holy .city, and from the things which are written in this Book.”
