GLADYS C. JOHNSON CAN A CHRISTIAN SIN? The only difference between a Christian and the man on the street who makes no pro fession of Christ is that the Christian is a sinner saved by grace — the other is a sinner lost for eternity. Both are sinners. As Jesus prayed that won derful prayer for his disciples recorded in the 17th chapter of John, He said to His Father, “I am not praying that you will take them (His disciples) out of the world but that you will keep them from the evil one.” He knew that those who followed Him would be temnted by the Devil and would fall into sin. Even Paul, one of the great est saints of the Christian world, was conscious of the constant warfare going on within his own body. He had been a Christian for many years, but read what he says in Romans 7:15-18. “I don’t understand myself at all. for I really want to do what is right, but I can’t. I do what I don’t want to — what I hate. I know perfectly well that what I am doing is wrong and that the laws I am break ing are good ones. But I can’t help myself because I’m not doing it. It is sin inside me that is stronger than I am ‘hat makes me to do these ’vil things. “I know I am rotten throuch and through so far as my old sinful nature is con cerned. No matter which way I turn I can’t make myself do right. I want to but I can’t. The Brantley Enterprise, Nahunta, Ga„ Thursday, June 10, 1965 Representative Will Be Named In General Election Wednesday Miss Barbara Ann Allen Delegate to St. Paul, Minn. Miss Strickland Is Honored with Shower Mrs. Virginia Raulerson, Mrs. Doris Riggins, Mrs. Earl Rauler son and Mrs. Elroy Strickland were hostesses to a bride-elect shower honoring Miss Agnes Ann Strickland at the home of Mrs. Virginia Raulerson.

Forest Gler-nings for Pulp Chips, slabs, edgings — once waste — are now a major source of pulp, reports the American Paper Institute. And hardwoods, long unsuitable for pulpwood, are now being used in increas : ng quantities because of the use of sulphite, semi-chemical and cold soda processes. PAPER CLOTHING Throwaway paper cloth 'ng is still on the drawing boards of many paper companies, but dis posable products for use in hos pitals — sheets, pillow cases, a prons, and other items —- are a success, the American Paper In stitute announced. When I want to do good. I can’t; and when I try not to do wrong, I do it anyway.” (Living Letters — The Para phrased Epistles.) Yes. Christians certainly do sin. “If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we con fess our sins, he is faithful and just to’ forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him, (God) a liar, and His word is not in us.” I John 1:8,9,10. Because we are children of Adam, we have sin in our nat ure but when that sin breaks out in our life, the believer has the privilege of confession, forgiveness and cleansing. “My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not, but if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous—” I John 2:1. The Christian can and very probably will fall into sin. but one who is truly born again will not make a practice of sinning — will not continue in sin. The more our lives manifest the spirit of Christ, the more abhorrent to us will those things become which would break our fellowship with Him. It is impossible for the Holy Spirit to dwell in the heart and life of one who CON TINUES in or makes a PRACTICE of sin. Such an one is not a possessing Christian — just a professing one.
