Newspaper Page TextVOLUME 48 —" IVUIHBKI^ 34 PASTOR'S PEN “IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME” In the first preparation, the disciples showed their thoughtfulness by saying to the Master, “Where wilt Thou that we prepare for Thee to eat the Pass over?” We too need thoughtfulness in preparation for the Communion Service. The first preparation is that of the heart. The Lord’s Supper should be observed worthily. This is the Lord’s table for His Church. A called out people, separated from the world. Pastors and teachers have a responsibility in this matter and should endeavor to make the subject clear to parents and children. Paul used strong language to the church at Corinth, when he wrote: “Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils” (1 Cor. 10:21). And yet, as Christians, we do not exclude any who come, for only the Lord is capable of judging who is and who is not fit to partake of Communion. The Great Topher has admonished us: “Judge hot that ye^eTTOtTjudged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged.” We need sometimes to consider the beam which may be in our own eye. Be fore taking Communion each one should “judge” or “examine” himself. In approaching this Memorial, then, we should be able to discern a very important and vital fact of the Christian religion. “For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.” “But God commendeth His love to ward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Rom. 5: 6,8). No one should come to the Communion table with hatred in his heart for anyone (1 John 2:9). He should not come with enmity and unforgiveness a gainst his brother (Matt. 5:23, 24). He should not come in a spirit of self-righteousness (Luke 18 : 9-14), but in a humble spirit, confessing his sins (1 John 1 :- 8,9). He should come reverently. This is the com munion of the body and blood of the Lord (1 Cor. 10: 16). How. grateful we should be for His sacrifice, and how sacred should be the privilege of observing it! Having Christ enthroned within by faith, and with love and gratitude in our hearts for the sacrifice He made for us on Calvary, we begin to set things in order for obs- ig the Lord’s Supper. LANIER OFFERS REWARD FOR IRVIN TV DEBATE (Reprint from Atlanta Jour nal) William L. “Bill’ Lanier of fered a SSOO reward Thurs day to anyone who could bring incumbent Agriculture Com missioner Tommy Irvin to a face-to-face public television debate.” “Fm offering this reward tw i cause I want the voting public know how seriously I am com mitted to the Idea of providing* concrete information on which thd voters can base their deci- the democratic candidate I said at a-. Thursday morning I u news conference. ■<. • Lanier is Irvin’s opponent in the Sept. 9 Democratic pri mary for nomination to the post. Lanier also questioned the reasons behind Irvin’s “un willingness to participate in a public TV debate.” “Its amazing to find a man seeking public office who spends his time making up elaborate excuses for dodging television appearances,” he added. The agricultural commis sioner’s responsibilities are too great, Lanier said, to be “shrugged off by the incum bent.” “The office involves the state’s No. 1 industry as well as consumer protection, which affects every single Georgian,” Lanier said. _ - m : Lairier cited the, “serious mi* /ration” from rural to urban areas that is taking place in BRANTLEY COUNTY MEDICAL CLINIC HOURS OF OPERATION TUESDAY: 2:00 — 6:00 THURSDAY: 2:00 — 6:00 BRANTLEY ENTERPRISE Brantley County — Land of Forest Products, Naval Stores, Tobacco, Livestock, Honey, Hunting, Fishing — and Progressive People.

Inci-' dentally, the fruits of these crabapples are ideally suited for spiced pickles or jelly, i Some varieties will be ready in , late August, others in Septem ber. Several individuals have reported that the sheriff of Brantley Coun ty is trying to defeat Roscoe Dean for State Senator. It has been report ed that he sheriff gave a fish fry recently at Laura Walker State Park, near Waycross, FOR THE MAN RUNNING AGAINST ROSCOE DEAN. Several people are asking why the sheriff may be fighting Senator Dean? The Answer: The sheriff wants a large salary increase. Senator Dean is on rec ord for letting the PEOPLE, who have to pay the bill, to decide by their vote at the ballot if the sheriff should get a large salary raise. THE REASON: The sheriff knew what the job paid when he ran for it. Nobody twisted his arm and made him run if he could not live off of what it paid. His salary is SB,OOO a year PLUS fringe benefits like a car, liv ing quarters, and so on. All total he is receiving approximately $lO,- 000 a year. The sheriff of Wayne .County, where Senator Dean lives, draws on- ly $8,500 a year plus a car. Only SSOO a year more than the sheriff in Brantley County. Yet there are 19,500 people in Wayne County as compared to the 6,200 people in Brantley County. The point is this: The sheriff in Brantley County is making only SSOO less than the sher iff in Wayne, but there are 13,300 more people in Wayne County than there are in Brantley. The next time you hear a report that the sheriff is fighting Roscoe Dean, then think about this: Senator Dean is looking out for you and your pocketbook. Senator Dean is trying to save YOU MONEY AND LOWER TAXES. WHEN THE SHERIFF FIGHTS SENATOR DEAN HE IS ALSO FIGHTING YOU, THE PEOPLE, AND TAXPAYERS. Vote for Roscoe Emory Dean, Jr. for STATE SENATOR. HE IS THE PEOPLE’S CANDIDATE AND THE PEOPLE’S SENATOR. GENERAL PRIMARY 1970 September 9 will be an im-i portant day to the people of Brantley County as well to a-1 rea and state politicians. Important to Brantley Coun ty Voters will be activities ' and requirements at the poll ing places. New Election Laws have some importance and im pact upon the outcome of the state primary election. There will be a Republican Party Primary Election in Brantley County for the first time. Heretofore, voters could vote for a candidate of the Republican Party only in the general election. In the upcoming election, attention is called to all vot ers to state which ballot is desired before a ballot can be issued. Poll officials of the Democratic Party will be con ducting the primary election for the Republican Party at the same time as the Demo cratic Party Primary. | According to Perry U. Roz- I ier, Brantley County Ordinary ! and also acting in the capacity | as Superintendent of Elections, ; stated that the voters of the county should be told that if a ' Republican Ballot is voted on in the primary election, that same voter could not vote in the Democratic Run-off and the same applies to persons | voting a Democratic Ticket in I the primary could not vote in : a Republican run-off. Rozier did say however, that in the ! General Election, voters could vote a split ticket, tha tis to say, vote for both Republicans i and Democratics. , Ordinary Rozier further : stated that on arrival at the polling places, each voter will be required to fill in and sign a Voters Certificate which in i eludes which party ballot is , desired and then to show the ; certificate to the poll official I who holds the Electors List. Why Is the Sheriff Os Brantley County Trying to Defeat Senator Roscoe Dean? | Paid Ad by Roscoe Dean, Jr. [ 612 Cherry St. Jesup, Georgia The certificate is then given to the official issuing ballots. In the event a voter desires to vote the Democratic Ticket, he or she will be issued a white ballot or if a Republi can Ticket is requested, then a blue ballot will be issued. After receiving the ballot a voter goes into a voting booth alone and mark their ballit by placing a check mark by the person desired for each of fice. In some past elections vo ters could strike through nam es that appeared on the ballot to indicate that they did not want to vote for that person. Rozier stated that the current Georgia Law requires a check mark be placed beside the name of the candidate selected. A voter may receive assis tance in voting a ballot by asking a Poll Official. When assistance is requested, the Poll Official fills out a form stating who ask for help and the reason the help was re quested. A voter may receive help in voting from any one other than a Poll Official and anyone may assist ten differ -1 ent voters only. After marking the ballot, the voter tears the number 1 strip off the ballot and places the strip in the number box I and the ballot in the ballot box for the party for which it was cast. The polls will open at 7 AM in each of the voting dis tricts in the county and will close at 7 PM. New polling places have been constructed at Atkinson, Schlatterville and Waynesville. The new build ings were made to be in com pliance with the new Georgia Election Code. Voters in the Nahunta Dis trict will continue to use the old Nahunta Elementary School building, located near the First Baptist Church.
