Irvin Has Earned Full Term
Tommy Irvin’s performance as Commissioner of
Agriculture has earned him a full term in that office.
Appointed to the state’s top agriculture post last
year by Gov. Lester Maddox, this Habersham County
native quickly established his grasp of the job and
won the public’s confidence. His record had impress
ed us and we believe his election as Commissioner
of Agricultura .would con^nuh honest*'efficient and
business-like ice which is impor-
tant to the welfare oi all Georgians.
I r S’ 5 ! ‘HTA,
I Recognising . MW- .State . Agric.u^ure J)e part
men in maWy ways' influences thrives of cjty^dwell
ers as well, as farmers. Tom,n)yTrvjnin his campaign
lias stressed jrplie in
directing qop^pmer^ code, He is equally
interested in helping tfie. f^rhjei; to prosper unc^as
proposed programs which would emph^sipje.,the,(rela
tionship of business and agriculture. ’ .
His suggestions for increasing beef and pork pro
duction would aid both farmer amd,consumer, and his
hope of finding new peanut markets could mean
much to the Georgia economy. He knows how to get
things done and his previous service as a state legis
lator and as executive secretary to the governor have
been invaluable in his present post. We recommend
that voters elect him to the post he has already
shown he can fill capably and without favoritism.
PASTOR'S PEN
THE ALL-SUFFICIENT SAVIOUR
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our
sorrows . . . But he was wounded for our transgres
sions, he was bruised for our iniquities . . . Isaiah 53:
4, 5.
To what extent can Jesus help a person who comes
to Him ? Is the salvation He gives on the basis of His
Cj’oss and Resurrection complete and perfect ? If it is,
it must meet the needs of the total man, body, mind
and spirit. It must touch every area of his personali
ty, and free him from bondage. Thank God a per
fect, complete, all inclusive deliverance has been
wrought for us in the work of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Asa proof of this, I cite two Scriptures from the
Old Testament which vividly detail the accomplish
ments of the Cross in prophecy:
1. Isaiah 53:4, “Surely he hath borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him
stricken, smitten of God and afflicted.” This verse
declares that Jesus bore two terrible plagues for the
sinner at Calvary: griefs and sorrows. Now,, what
what was this burden He removed which the pro
phet describes as “griefs” and “sorrows”? We have
to engage in a little word study to get the meaning.
Griefs is a Hebrew word which means sickness, dis
ease, anxiety and affliction. It does not refer to sin
as such, but to physical suffering. The word sorrow,
on the other hand, refers to pain, sorrow or grief of
mind rather than of body. It stresses anxieties of the
mind. Therefore, we must conclude that on the Cross
Jesus took on Himself the bodily sicknesses and also
the mental sorrows of mankind.
2. Isaiah 53 :5, “But he was wounded for our trans
gressions, he was bruised for our iniquities . . .”
This text declares that Christ died for all the mani
festations of human sin. Herein lies the basis for for
giveness of sin and the power for cleansing from all
sin. Join these two verses and you have the picture
of a perfect salvation—body, mind and spirit. Mod
ern psychology and medicine and the church must
not discount these glorious accomplishments of the
atonement. Statistics are telling us that mental ill
nesses are claiming more victims than physical dis
eases. Moreover, the increase of suicides from fear
and anxiety is great. If we understand the texts
properly, Christ died, not only to forgive actual sins
committed, but to impart soundness of body and
mind. I believe that the antidote for all anxieties, ill
nesses and sins lies in the work of Jesus Christ on the
Cross. Do you know this wonderful Saviour?

Archie Roush
Passed Away
Archie Roush, 75 years of
age succumbed at the Bruns
wick Memorial Hospital on
August 21. He was known in
the Waynesville Community
as “Sank”, and was rather well
known^- throughout the whole
county? '
There are few people in this
end of the county at one time
or the other that failed to see
his friendly face in the time
of sickness or death, helping
any way he could, doing work
out of sympathy and friend
ship, many times when he,
himself was hardly a^le to go.
. A few years back, he was
called upQp to dig graves for
Others that had died.
“Sank” never complaineda
bout his Jot in life, but lived
it as it came, proving to be a
good friend, a good neighbor
and a good citizen,
He served his country in the
First World War, going from
Wayne County,'‘how Brantley,
and was aboard ship to go a
cross when armistice was
signed.
Archie will be missed by
many people who called him
their friend.
Archie was a Negro as their
race is called, and if you re
member, Christ used this par
able when he spoke of your
neighbor. He used two differ
ent Nationalities, but “Sank”
has passed into a land where
Nationality or race is not rec
ognized.
He is survived by two broth
ers and several nephews and
nieces.
He was laid to rest in the
McDonald Cemetery near
Waynesville on Tuesday, Aug
ust 25. The Brunswick Funeral
Home was in charge of ar
rangements.
The many flowers sent by
colored and white attested the
esteem in which he was held.
