Newspaper Page TextVOLUME 48 — NUMBER 28 PASTOR'S PEN ‘ ELECTION AND REPROBATION” Calvinism produced much reaction in Europe and the Netherlands, especially in Holland where Ana baptism was widely spread. Calvinism called for strict and high moral character based on a life lived by the law. Character, however, did not influence sal vation. Calvinism in Holland came to its fullest expres sion in the work 'of Jacobus Arminius (1560-1609) and his disciples. In 1603 Arminius was chosen to become professor of theology in Leyden. A short while before this he was appointed to defend the “supra lapsarian” position. This position had to do with the order of divine purposes. Did God “decree” election and reprobation, and then permit the fall as a means by which the decree could be carried out (supra lapsum) ? Or did He foresee and permit that a man would fall, and then decree election as a method of saving some (infra lapsum) ? As he stu died these questions, Arminius came to doubt the whole doctrine of unconditional predestination and to ascribe to man a freedom which had no place in pure Calvinism. If God did decree “election and reprobation” and then permit the fall as a means by which the decree could be carried out, it seems that he laid a trap for man and man got caught. If God did something like this in order to get his way and accomplish His purpose, He would be selfish. God is not selfish. On the other hand, if God did foresee and permit that man would fall and then decree election as a means of saving some, the reprobate, those destined to be lost, could look to God, rather than Christ, and say, “God you didn’t give us a chance.” “The Lord is . . . not willing that any should per ish, but that all should come to repentance.” (II Peter 3 :9) NLN Accreditation Granted To Brunswick Junior College The National League for Nursing Board of Review for Associate Degree Programs has granted accreditation to the associate degree program in nursing at Brunswick Jun ior College.

OFFICIAL: ORGAN BRANTLEY COUNTY AND CITY OF NAHUNTA Flue-Curred Tobacco Growers Get Acreage-Poundage Notices Notices of farm acreage and poundage quotas for flue-cured tobacco are now being mailed to farm operators, George Dy kes, Chairman of the Brantley Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation (ASC) Commit tee. has announced. The notices are sent in ad vance of the July 16 market ing quota referendum so that farmers will know how the vote decision will affect their individual operations. Revised notices adjusted to reflect un dermarketings or overmarket ings of 1970 quotas will be sent to farm operators after 1970 crop marketings are completed. The acreage-poundage quota program for flue-cured tobac co has been in effect since 19- 65. The referendum will de cide whether the program is to continue for the 1971 through 1973 crops. All producers 18 years of age or older are eligible to vote if they share in the 1970 flue-cured tobacco crop or its proceeds. Where no tobacco is produced in 1970 on a tobacco allotment farm, only the own- Farm Program Payments Sticking To Early Schedule About 40 percent of the 19- 70 farm program payments earned by producers in Brant ley County have been made, according to George Dykes, Chairman of the Brantley County Agricultural Stabiliza tion and Conservation (ASC) Committee. “Thanks to the fine coopera tion of participating farmers, we are well on the way to completing payments in the feed grain, wheat, and cotton programs. The U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture this year made a commitment to make farm payments earlier than ever before — and we are keeping that commitment,” he said. The ASC Committee Chair man said that in previous years partial payments had been made in advance to feed grain participants.. Budget restraints this year made it impossible to make any farm payments before July 1, the beginning of the Government’s Fiscal Rear. “As soon as that date arriv ed, however, farm program payments began. We expect to complete them within the next 4 weeks here in Brantley County, which will be the ear liest date we have ever com pleted farm program pay ments,” Mr. Dykes added. He commented that produc ers participating in the farm programs have earned pay ments by helping stabilize markets and by giving up the use of productive cropland that would otherwise have been put into cash crops or other income-producing us^s. Instead, they maintain th" land in conserving uses which help prevent soil erosion and air and water pollution. The farm programs in which they participate help achieve a balance between commodity supply and demand. They also help producers work together to curb excess production and MR. AND MRS. KENNETH N. LEWIS er and operator are eligible to vote. Under the program, growers may carry undermarketings from a short crop over to the next year. They also may mar ket up to 10 percent over the farm’s poundage quota, penal ty-free, by deducting the dif ference from the next year’s crop. Price support on up to 110 percent of a farm’s quota is available if a grower does not exceed his acreage allot ment. “If two-thirds or more of the growers voting approve tobac co quotas for the next three years,” Mr. Dykes said, “the program will continue with acreage allotments, price sup ports, and penalties on excess tobacco marketed above 110 percent of farm quota. “If more than one-third of the voters disapprove quotas, there will be no marketing quota to limit production and no price support for the 1971 crop. In the event, a similar referendum will be held next year.” strengthen markets. Mr. Dykes said success of the early-payment plan has hing ed on close cooperation by farmers, and results have been gratifying. Virtually all Brant ley County participants accur ately certified their compliance with farm program require ments as soon as they could. Spot checks made by ASCS personnel on individual farms throughout the county have revealed a very low degree of error in reporting of planted and diverted acres and con serving use acres by producers in the feed grain, wheat, and cotton programs.
