Newspaper Page TextQuestions and Answers on the Bible BY MRS. GLADYS C. JOHNSON What does God mean when He says, "My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years." Genesis 6:3. God created man in His own image, but man because of his sin became corrupt and evil. Children were born in the image of fallen man and not in the im age of God. As the earth became more densely populated, we find men and women becoming more and more sinful until God determined to destroy the whole world. Yet God is merciful and would not bring judgment upon man until he had been given time for re pentance. Se He commands Noah 6W facts...

There's still time to prepare for winter by converting to flameless electric heat The first chill of autumn is in the air and winter is on its way. But you still have time to install a flameless electric heating system in your home. Electric heat is clean, with no by-products of combustion —no fuel grime or dust. It’s an even heat, with no cold drafts or hot blasts. It’s economical, too, for a special low rate is available to total-electric residential customers. And with budget billing, the electric bill is the same amount every month. Interested? Call us for complete details. GEORGIA POWER 221222^ to preach to them and tell them that they would have but 120 years in which to repent and af ter that — judgment. During this period of time His Holy Spirit would continue to strive with them — but no longer than the time allotted; for “he should not always strive with man, who was now become alto gether flesh (or carnal).” We know that although Noah witnessed and although the Holy Spirit labored with them, they continued in their wickedness and God destroyed them by the Flood. This should be a very grave warning for we who are living in this present Age of Grace. The Gospel of Jesus Christ has been proclaimed for almost 2,000 years and though some have be lieved, there are countless multi tudes still who have and are even now resisting the witness of the Holy Spirit as He attempts to make His voice heard. When Jesus left this earth He promised that the Comforter or the Holy Spirit would come in His place and then “He (the spirit) would reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.” John 16:8. The Holy Spirit troubles the un regenerate man and endeavors to make him conscious of his sin. It is possible for man to resist Him until His efforts are com pletely “quenched.” Many times He has been driven away by the hardness of the sinner’s heart. God is a just God and He gives opportunity and time to repent BUT when that time runs out then the Holy Spirit ceases to strive with the unsaved sinner. God says, “Now is the accept ed time; now is the day of sal vation.” 2 Corinthians 6:2. We have no guarantee that we have even another five minutes in which to heed the pleading of the Holy Spirit so we should make our peace with God while there is yet time. What is the order of events for the Second coming of Christ? The Second Coming of Christ is not a one-act play, but rather can be compared to a drama consisting of several acts. Paul tells us in II Timothy 3:1-5 “that in the last days it is going to be very difficult to be a Chris tian. For people will love only themselves and their money; they will be proud and boastful, sneering at God, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful to them, and thoroughly bad. They will be hardhearted and never give in to others; they will be constant liars and troublemakers and will think nothing of immorality. They will be rough and cruel, and sneer at those who try to be good. They will betray their friends; they will be hot-headed, puffed up with pride, and prefer good times to worshiping God. They will go to church, yes, but they won’t really believe any thing they hear.” This is a word picture of world conditions just before the first scene opens in the return of Jesus Christ. It reads as though Paul was describing the year of 1965 in which we are now living. Meteors and Comets Since this is the season for skywatchers to observe the strange behavior of meteors and comets in the sky, a few words about them are in order. Most meteors and comets, whatever the reader happens to call them, are very near the earth and not far away — as many seem to think. They are metallic substances which have separated from a large mass and are plummeting through the air, pulled to the earth by gravity. They fall into the layer of gases surround ing the earth during day and night but are observed only at night when the red hot metal is visible as fire. Most meteors burn out before they strike the earth, melted into nothing by the heat of friction created by the terrific speed at which they pass into the atmosphere. Some do not completely bum up before they hit the earth. The chances of a meteor striking in your neighborhood are a billion to one, but it could happen. Junkyard Scenery One of the principal targets on which Presi dent Johnson zeroed in when he launched his “make America beautiful” campaign was the auto junkyard. And with good and sufficient reason. There is no worse blight on the landscape than vast acres of rusting car skeletons that sprawl depressingly along almost any high way. President Johnson made it clear he wanted something done to erase the blot and Con gress, taking the hint, has been considering a bill which would require adequate screening to hide such eyesores. But there comes now the suggestion that there’s a better solution than merely letting the old jallopies pile ever higher behind screens. The Institute of Scrap Iron and Steel con tends that machinery already exists for practi cal and economical processing of the junked cars into re-useable raw material if the steel mills would just take the time and trouble to use it. Harry Marley, the institute’s president, puts it this way. “If old cars are a blemish on our land, we must treat the disease, not the symptoms, and the problem will not be solved just by hiding them.” There is nothing in prophetic Scriptures yet to be fulfilled which would prevent what is known in theological circles as “The Rapture.” Paul describes this event in I Thessalonians 4:13-18. Christ will come down from heaven with a mighty shout and all the Chris tians who have died will be the first to rise and meet the Lord in the air. These will not be church saints only, but all the bodies of saved people from the beginning of time will be in this first resurrection. This is the resurrection “unto life” as des cribed in I Corinthians 15:52. Then the bodies of living be lievers will be changed — in the twinkling of an eye — from a corruptible body into one which will be like unto His glorious body. They, too, will join Christ and the other saints in the air. Those who have refused to be lieve in Christ and His Church will not see Him at this appear ing, but will only see the tragic results which follow the removal of the Church from this earth. The second event covers a 7 year period which we call The Tribulation. During this time Sa tan will have free reign. Since the Holy Spirit has been removed with the Christian, sin will be rampant here upon earth. This will be a time of such trouble as can scarcely be described, espec ially for God’s chosen people, the Jew, who will have returned to Palestine in unbelief. Read Re velation 11-18. However, there will also be a period of salvation during these seven years. But remember that this is not a second chance af ter death. These who believe are the ones who have been left alive here upon earth after the Rap ture. John tells us in Revelation 7:4-9 that there will be 144,000 Jewish people sealed for God and an innumerable multitude of Gentiles. The third event immediately follows the Tribulation period. This is the Return of Christ in glory to set up His Kingdom in Palestine over which He shall reign for 1000 years. We find Je sus telling of the events which take place at this time in the 24th and 25th chapers of Matthew. He now comes in judgment upon the nations — or Gentiles. He se parates the sheep from the goats. At the close of His 1000 year reign there will be the Great White Throne Judgment. These are the wicked dead who have not taken part in the first resur rection. They are now called be fore God and judged every man according to his works and “Who soever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:15. Satan is cast into the Lake of Fire and then John says, “I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away . . Revelation 21:1. Jesus Christ now reigns su preme over a redeemed people and a redeemed earth and we shall reign with Him for eternity. Peanut Butter Gives Meals Added Protein Ever tried combining peanut butter with scrambled eggs? Peanut butter scramble is an example of the many ways peanut butter, which is plenti ful now across the nation, may be used to enhance the fla vor and boost the protein val ue of family menus. The U. S. Department of Agriculture’s Consumer and Marketing Service offers the following peanut butter reci pes: PEANUT BUTTER SCRAM BLE — Use a tablespoon each of peanut butter and milk for each egg scrambled, with salt to taste. To prepare, separate yolks from the whites of eggs. Beat egg whites until stiff and add salt. Beat egg yolks until thick and light yellow. Combine peanut butter and milk with yolk, blending to smoothness, and fold this mix ture into whites. Melt some butter or margarine in top of double boiler. Pour in fluffy egg mixture and cook over boiling water until just set, stirring as needed for uniform cooking. Serve at once. PEANUT BUTTER SHAKES — For two 12-ounce shakes, mix or blend in mixer 3 cups cold milk, % cup peanut but ter, a pint of vanilla ice cream, and 1% teaspoon vanilla flavoring. Pour into chilled glasses and serve. BAKED POTATOES A LA PEANUT — Bake potatoes, cut in halves lengthwise, and scoop out potato. Mash pota toes with butter, hot milk, and chunk-style peanut butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Fold in stiffy beaten egg whites. Return to shells, sprinkle with grated peanuts. Place under broiler until nip ped with brown. Serve Imme diately. FERTILIZER INJURY Young pecan trees may be damaged by fertilizer. R. S. Fletcher, Extension horticul turist, University of Georgia, says the injury is caused ei ther by overfertilization or fertilizer placement. Fertili zer placed too close to the tree will damage the root system. All forms of fertilizer should be applied in a circle at least two feet from the trunk, ac cording to Mr. Fletcher. YOUNG HO!

ON CLOTHES DRYING If thin cotton blouses are dried with heavy absorbent towels, the blouses will overdry and become wrinkled, says Miss Doris Ogles by, Extension home economist housing and equipment. If these items must be dried together, she suggests setting the time for the lighter-weight articles, and then resetting for the heavier ones after removing the lighter pieces.

CARL BROOME 7. Owner: Carl Broome, Nahunta, Ga. The Brantley Enterprise, Nahunta, Ga., Thursday, Oct. 14, 1965 Employ the Handicapped Week Is Being Observed The President’s Committee on Employment of the Handicapped has designated October 3-9 as National Employ the Handicap ped Week. Governor Carl Sand ers and all Mayor’s of many Georgia cities and other local committees on Employment of the Handicapped have joined in the recognition of this Week and have proclaimed it State and Lo cal Employ the Handicapped Week. NEH Week was first establish ed and signed as a public law by President Harry S. Truman in October, 1945. The purpose of the Week is to focus attention in the outstanding performance re cords and capabiliies of handi capped workers and to call to the attention of employers the need to provide better employment op portunities for the qualified han dicapped persons who are now seeking employment and ready to work. Employers throughout the state who have made it a practice of hiring handicapped individuals report that these individuals have less absenteeism, are equal to or more productive, and have fewer accidents than the other employees classified as non handicapped. For these reasons the employ ers say, “It certainly makes good business sense to hire qualified STATEMENT OF OWNERSHIP, MANAGEMENT AND CIRCULATION (Act of October 23, 1962; Section 4369, Title 39, United States Code.) 1. Date of filing: September 27, 1965. * 2. Title of publication: handicapped persons.” During the past fiscal year, the Georgia Division of Vocational Rehabilitation placed 7,221 handi capped individuals back into their former positions or into remun erative employment. Georgia was ranked 4th in the nation in the total number of rehabilitations and reached an all-time high for the agency’s work in rehabilitat ing disabled Georgians. The State Labor Department, during the past year, placed 4,477 handi capped Georgian’s back into em ployment enabling them to be come productive and contributing members of society. The President’s Committee Governor’s Committee, Mayor’s and other local committees on Employment of the Handicap ped urge all employers to ser iously consider hiring the handi capped to improve their produc tion and increase employment for their handicapped citizens. Crowding birds in the laying house may bring more eggs with out increased investment in hous ing, but it can cause management problems to develop, too. Jerry Cox, Extension poultry scientist at the University of Georgia, says litter dampness increases. And there’ll be a higher percentage of dirty eggs, as well as a larger number of eggs broken in the nests. Three great new gasolines by Standard- Three reasons to cheer the fun-team of the year.
