PASTOR'S PEN
A LIFE OF FAITH
Hebrews 11: 1 and 6, Now faith is the substance
of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen;
But without faith it is impossible to please Him; for
he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and
that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek
Him.
Romans 1:17, As it is written, “The just shall live
by faith.”
Webster’s dictionary defines faith as “The assent
of the mind to the truth of what is declared by anoth
er ; belief in what is given forth as a revelation of
man’s relation to God and the infinite.
A noted writer, once said, “faith is the subtle
chain, that binds us to the Infinite; the voice of a
deep life within.”
Faith is essential to all life. Without faith it is im
possible to please God. The above scriptures shows
that faith is the source, the support, and success of
life-
Faith is the source of life for “by faith”, only by
faith, in the Lord Jesus Christ can one attain unto e
ternal life. It is believe and live. Believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved. He that be
lieveth on the Son hath life. Eternal life is possible
only by grace through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Real life begins with faith in Christ.
Faith is the support of life, for the just “shall live
by faith.” Faith in the Lord and in his power to help
is the support of life and sustains life unto the end.
Faith enriches life- Faith enlarges life. Faith enables
life. Faith increases life.
Faith is the success of life for “the righteous shall
live by faith.” Faith is the force that leads on to
righteousness. It is the power that Will appropriate
the righteousness of Christ, for the life of the indivi
dual in the world. Believe in Christ, appropriate his
grace, and follow him is the only way to succeed in
the Christian life. By faith live and serve. Without
faith it is impossible to please God.

There Is Still
Time To Plant
Summer Forages
Georgia farmers still have
a month and a half to plant
supplemental grazing for the
hot summer months. W. H.
Sell, agronomist with the Un
iversity of Georgia Coopera
tive Extension Service, re
minds farmers that May and
June are good months to plant
summer annual forages.
“On good soil, well fertiliz
ed summer annuals are ready
for grazing 30 to 40 days af
ter planting,” Sell says. He
points out these forages work
well in rotation with winter
annual grazing crops and
small grains harvested for
grain.
“Row spacing of 14 to 21
inches with 10 to 15 pounds
of seed per acre have given
the greatest yield under sim
ulated grazing tests,” Sell says.
He also reminds farmers to
stagger planting dates two
to three weeks apart so new
plants come into production
throughout the summer. He
recommends one-fourth to
one-half acre of temporary
grazing per animal.
To help farmers produce a
good yield, Sell has prepared
a new publication entitled
“Summer Annual Forages.”
Copies are available at all
county Extension agents’ of
fices.
In the publication the Ex
tension agronomist discusses
recommended varieties, seed
bed preparation and planting,
management and uses of sum
mer forages.

Disabled Vets
Overlooking Big
Insurance Deal
Atlanta — Georgia Veterans
Service Director Pete Wheeler
says that there are many dis
abld Georgia veterans who
are not availing themselves of
valuable low-cost insurance.
Government figures show
that nationally, more than
7,000 veterans are added to
the rolls each month as a
result of disability ratings ren
dered by the Veterans Admin
istration. Wheeler said that
these veterans should apply
for the special RH insurance
which has premiums so low
that a 25-year old veteran
can begin a SIO,OOO insurance
program for only $2.60 a
month.
“Combining the SIO,OOO
RH insurance with the $lO,-
000 converted SGLI at stand
ard rates,” says Wheeler,
“provides disabled veterens
with the opportunity to carry
$20,000 insurance at compara
tively low premiums, and at a
time when many could not
qualify for other insurance.”
He added that RH National
Service Life Insurance is a
vailable to veterans who were
separated from service after
April 24, 1951, and who have
been rated by the VA as hav
ing a service-connected disa
bility. Application should be
made within one year from
date of notice granting ser
vice connection for a disabili
ty. Veterans must be in good
health aside from their ser
vice-connected disabilities.
Complete information may
be obtained from any office
of the Georgia Department of
Veterans Service.

Farmers To Certify Acreage
Limitation and Di
Early certification by
Brantley County farmers in
the voluntary farm programs
will mean earlier program
payments, according to George
Dykes, Chairman of the
Brantley County Agricultural
Stabilization and Conserva
tion (ASC) Committee. Cer
tification must be made by the
disposition date of June 20 for
Feed Grain, Cotton and Tobac
co. When certification is made
earlier, the certification date
becomes the final farm dispo
sition date.
Mr. Dykes cautioned farm
ers against guesswork. He ad
vised that they must know
their exact acreage of feed
grain, wheat, and cotton.
They must also know the a
creage diverted from wheat
and feed grains, and that they
have met their farms’ conser
ving base requirements.
When a farmer certifies his
compliance with the farm pro
gram provisions, the Brantley
County ASCS Office begins
processing the papers so that
he will receive full payment
as soon as possible after July
1. Target date for completion
of 1970 farm program pay
ments is July and August.
Mr. Dykes reminded farm
ers of the following major
points involved in certifying
they are in compliance with
the farm program:
Certification must be exact.
Spot checks may be made at
any time following certifica
tion. If an error is found,
A Voice in the Wilderness
OUR NATIONAL DILEMMA
From the national uproar and rioting on the White
House Lawn, it appears that the younger generation
of college students has grown or at least has a great
er following of adults. The young adults or they may
be called non-adults have the support of an increas
ingly amount of adults.
In the major area of their discontent, they oppose
our nations Foreign Policy. They apparently do not
want the Country involved in foreign affairs or at
least take issue with the policy of Contaignment of
Communism. Our contaignment policy was estab
lished many years ago and the several administra
tions that have been in office since has followed
that policy with out deviation. The concept was es
tablished to counter the publicly stated aims of the
Communist Party, and which they had into effect at
that time. The objective of the Communist Party is
to gain control of all the people in the world by
overt or covert means. A quick review of history
will bear out the amount of former free people who
are under the yoke of communism today.
Many of the college age groups publicly state
they support the communist cause, the F. B. I. has
reported many times that colleges have been infil
trated and many college professors state they be
lieve in the communist cause.
I am proud that the youngsters are idealistic, that
they want the world to be a better place but they
have fallen dupe to the idea that communism is su
perior to our system. To critize is fine but construc
tive critizism is better. To protest is one of our free
doms but to take the law into our own hands is too
much.
What could be done to stop or curb a part of the
problems? Parents could cut off funds to the stu
dents. Federal funds could be cut off to colleges
that support unruly students. Pay to the professors
could be cut off, who have longer hair and beard
than the students, that participate in the unlawful
ness with the students.
Who or what is to blame for the dilemma that now
faces every American, young or old, man or woman ?
Is it our system of government that has been operat
ing all these years? Is it a problem brought about by
the students themselves? Is the news media to
blame? Are members of the national Congress who
support the rioting and hell raising to blame?

that the car was reported

some or all of the program
payments may be lost. After
