Questions 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.
Are there degrees of punish
ment end reward in the life after
death?
We believe that God is an ab
solutely just God —a God who
can see and know the actual in
tents of man’s heart. Therefore
by His very nature, it would be
reasonable to believe that there
are degrees of reward and pun
ishment in the hereafter.
In discussing this question, we
must remember two things. First,
there is a Heaven and a Hell —
a place of conscious life where
the inequalities of this present
existence will be balanced. Se
cond, we are not talking about
salvation. Salvation comes only
by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ
and is a gift from God. It can
not be obtained by works and is
not given as a reward for well
doing here on earth.
Since our sins were forgiven at
the time we accepted Christ as
Saviour, our works will be judged
when Christ comes again. “For
the Son of man shall come in the
glory of his Father with his an
gels; and then he shall reward
every man according to his
works.” Matthew 16:27.
Because no two Christians live
the same kind of a life or do the
same amount of work for the
Lord and His Kingdom, we un
derstand from this verse that He
will reward ACCORDING to “his”
works — each believer’s work.
Paul tells us in I Corinthians
3:12-15 that the foundation upon
which we are to base our works
is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.
However, one day that man s
work will be shown for what it is.
It will tried as though by fire
and if it comes through that test,
he will receive his reward, but
if his works will not stand the
heat of the fire then he will lose
his reward, but he himself will
be saved.

Suburban HD Club
Met at Altman Home
The Suburban Home Demon
stration Club met at the home of
Mrs. James Altman Tuesday,
March 16.
Mrs. James Altman, president,
presided over the meeting. Miss
Nancy Brown, teacher from Na
hunta High School, gave a dem
onstration on how to put sleeves
in.
Others attending were Mrs. Don
Mathie, Mrs. George Brantley,
Mrs. Glen Strickland, Mrs. For
est Thomas, Mrs. Wain Brooker.
Mrs. Layton Johns and Mrs. Ar
thur Keen as a visitor from the
Hickox Club.
Refreshments were served by
the hostess.
Again Paul says in II Corin
thians 5:10 that “We must all ap
pear before the judgement seat
of Christ; that every one may
receive the things done in his
body, according to that he hath
done, whether it be good or bad.”
In the parable of the talents
Jesus used the illustrations of the
man who was going on a long
journey and entrusted money to
his servants. He expected them to
use it to good advantage for him.
Upon his return, he called them
to account. Each one had invested
his money in such away as to
bring in a different amount.
To the one who had doubled his
money, he said, “Well done. Be
cause thou hast been faithful in
a very little, have thou authority
over ten cities.” To the next, who
had gained less, He said, “Be
thou over five cities” and to the
one who had buried his money
and made no gain, he took away
that which he had given.
Some had done much — some
little — some nothing — so a
difference or degree of reward.
Although punishment is for e
ternity because of the rejection
of Christ, there too, I believe,
we may find judgment meted out
according to the manner in which
the life was lived here on earth.
Again Jesus, teaching by par
able in Luke 12:47, 48 says, “And
‘hat servant which knew his
lord’s will and prepared not him
self, neither did according to his
will, shall be beaten with many
stripes. But he that knew not,
and did commit things worthy of
stripes, shall be beaten with few
stripes. For unto whomsoever
much is given, of him shall be
much required.”
This is not to minimize the
judgment of God for “it is a fear
ful thing to fall into the hands
of the living God.” Hebrews 10:31.

Statement by Senator Roscue Dean
Chairman Subcommittee ®n Trbacca
Proposed tobacco legislation
now before the United States Con
gress appears to be a direct ef
fort by the North Carolina dele
gation to undercut Georgia pro
duction of quality, highly-desired
Type 14 tobacco.
Historically Georgia’s Type 14
tobacco has been in great demand
and the percentage placed under
government loan has been cor
respondingly small. On the other
hand buyers have beeen passing
up large amounts of tobacco
grown in North Carolina and Vir
ginia and huge percentages o f
these crops have gone under gov
ernment loan. Yet the North Car

Compelled to Join
Suppose every farmer and rancher was required
by law to join and pay dues to a farm organization.
Or suppose every parent of school children was re
quired to be a dues paying member of the PTA. Or
suppose every fisherman and hunter was legally
compelled to join a game protective association.
These ridiculous ideas contain the same logic as
that used by labor groups and others who are now
seeking repeal of that section of the Taft-Hartley
Act which permits the states, if they so choose, to
enact Right-to-Work laws.
Twenty of the states have done that. They thus
have said, in effect, that it is up to each individual
worker to decide whether he wants to join a union
or not. He cannot be compelled to join — on pain of
unemployment — and his employer cannot prevent
him from joining. In other words, it is up to the union
to demonstrate that its services are worth their price.
If the right to join or not to join any organization
is not a fundamental right, what is?
Manor-Prescott
Mr. and Mrs. Mulford Morris
Manor of Hickox announce the
engagement of their daughter,
Glinda Wylene Manor, to Ed

The wedding will be an e
vent of Saturday, March 20, at
5:30 in the afternoon at the
home of Rev. E. J. Dixon who
will officiate.
The bride-elect is a graduate
of South Georgia College and
is attending college at Georgia
Southern at Statesboro.
The groom-elect is a gradu
ate of Nahunta High School
and is employed at St. Marys.
No invitations will be sent
but close friends and relatives
are invited to attend the wed

Moody-Kegley
Mr. and Mrs. Carswell
Mondv announce the marriage
of their daughter Sue to Mr.
Don Kegley, son of Mr. and

The wedding was solemniz

P. M. at the home of Rev.
Sidney Parks in Brunswick,
Ga.
The couple will reside in
Brunswick for the present,
where Mr. Kegley is stationed

Mulch Camellias
A mulch around Camellia
plants is recommended to reduce
water loss, according to Gerald
E. Smith, Extension Service hor

Smith pointed out that the Ca

you not dig around the plant af
ter the mulch is applied.
ch state’s allotted acreage without
taking quality or demand into con
sideration.
This legislation would mean that
North Carolina and Virginia will
continue to produce undesirable
tobacco that is going under gov
ernment loan. It gives no consi
deration to Georgia Type 14 to
bacco which has been the high
est quality on the market for
many years.
This legislation obviously is un
fair to Type 14 tobacco growers
and to the U-S taxpayers in gen
eral and I stand behind our dele
gation’s efforts to bring this to
the attention of the Congress.

Senator Dean
Gives Views on
Marriage Law
In a statement this week con
cerning the “Quickie Marriage”
Bill, Senator Roscoe Dean, Jr. of
Jesup said:
“Today — acting in good faith
— I did my very best to fulfill an
obligation to the good Christian
church going people of Georgia.
“Several weeks ago I pledged
to support the House of Repre
sentatives Bill requiring a man
datory three day waiting period
for marriages regardless of are.
That Bill, after having passed the
House of Representatives, went
into the Senate Health and Wal
fare Committee.
“I am NOT a member of that
Committee. The Committee, af
ter hearing the testimony of many
citizens, changed the Bill to al
low persons 21 years of ace or
over to be exempt from the three
day mandatory waiting period.
“There were a majority of votes
in favor of the changed Bill re
ported out by the Senate Health
and Welfare Committee of which
I am not a member. These votes
were evidence of the strong sup
port and sentiment in the Senate
for the changed Bill: therefore I
voted for the best Bill that had
a chance to pass.
“Perhaps at a later date a Bill
can be written and passed that
will be stronger than the present
one.” (Adv.)

Existing Voting Laws
Sufficient, Tuten Says
Statement by Representative
J. Russell Tuten, March 15,
1965:
“The President of the United
States and the office which he
holds has always been held in
the highest respect by me.
“I supported President John
son for election to this high
office when it was very un
popular in my area to do so.
It has been my desire to work
with the Administration. Now
I believe it my duty to respect
fully express disapproval and
disappointment with the Presi
dent’s response to the current
controversy. The responsible
element of American citizenship
is disappointed. The majority
of our people are reasonable
and respectable and their
pride and dignity does not al
low them to resort to sit-ins,
demonstrations and mob action.
Somebody should speak for
them. Americans in all sections
of the country desire to extend
to everyone the rights to which
thev are entitled as citizens.
Alabama and all other south
ern states are complying with
the laws of the land. Judges
are carrying out the intent of
the law.
“When it becomes necessary
to introduce legislation to
guarantee a citizen the right
to vote, I will be the first to
support it. I am convinced,
however, that existing laws
are sufficient and every citi
zen can gain his right to vote
through the proper legal pro
cedure.
“It is time Americans in
position of leadership accept
heir responsibility. Responsibi
lity demands that the Presi
dent do two things: First, as
sure every American that his
right to vote will be protected
through proper enforcement
of the law. Second, let it be
known that this Government
does not encourage -nor will it
permit mob action prior to giv
ing the laws a chance to work.
The responsible American ci
tizen is due some consideration.
Certainly he has the right to
conduct his business and com
municate to and from his place
of employment without inter
ference and danger. If this
ridicii’ous action is encouramd
in Alabama, then it would b°
proper to protect, pamper and
furnish coffee to mobs while
thev sit and lie in th° s’reets
on Pennsylvania Avenue, in
the White House, and Justice
Department.

for the law. May I say that as
