Newspaper Page TextVOLUME 49 - NUMBER 14 PASTOR'S PEN When you have a chance or if you will take time, read I Cor. 15 :44, it is a beautiful Easter lesson. One of the most beautiful kinds of insects you see flying about from flower to flower in the summer time is the butterfly. How many kinds of butterflies do you know ? Have you ever seen the Red Admiral ? He looks quite important, with red bars on his back wings. Then there is the Tiger Swallow-Tail. He is larger than the Admiral. His wings are yellow with black strips, something like a tiger’s strips, and his wings end in two tails which look like a swallow tailed coat. Os course, you know the Yellow Butter fly, it is very common. Then there is the Eastern- Tailed Blue, a small one, with wrings that are a lovely blue, edged with black. Have you seen the Zebra? It is larger than the Yellow, but not quite as big as the Admiral. It’s wings are black, striped like a Zebra, except that the stripes are pale brown. There are many others. Some boys and girls make a hobby of collecting and mounting butterflies. Moths look like butterflies. They fly by night, however, butterflies seek the sunshine and they only fly in the daytime. Do you know how butterflies grow ? First an egg, laid by the mother butterfly is glued to a leaf. When the egg hatches into a caterpillar,.it’s breakfast is all ready, it eats the leaf to which it was glued as an egg. After a while the caterpillar grows up and then comes another stage in which he remains motionless for a long time. He looks like a dead twig. He gives no hint of what he is going to become. He is now in the chrysalis stage. He seems to be dead. There is nothing attractive about him at all, but after a long time, this brown casing, which looks like a dead twig, breaks open, and out comes a beautiful butter fly. ' So the Bible teaches, when our bodies die we shall get new and far more beautiful bodies which will never die. You have read about the Resurrection of Jesus, after three days in the grave, he rose and stay ing forty days on earth, after rising from the dead, he ascended into heaven. It is something like the butterfly coming forth in beauty from the brown casing, we also shall come forth in beauty with a spiritual body. Right now, we can begin to build a beautiful soul for this spiritual body by thinking lovely thoughts and doing loving deeds, in short, by trying to do the things Jesus would like us to do.

BRANTLEY ENTERPRISE Bishop Opposes Redistricting Mayor Henry Bishop, speak ing as State Democratic Party vice-chairman for the Bth Con gressional District has labeled proposals to redistribute the Bth District as, “premature and an injustice to our people.” According to Mayor Bishop, members of the House and Se nate Reapportionment Commit tees apparently see the redis tribution of the Bth District as the least controversial means of achieving reapportionment. This, he believes 'has cdme about in light of the fact that Congressman Bill Stuckey does not plan to seek re-election. Mayor Bishop further com mented, “The people of the Bth District represent the very heart of Southeast Georgia and the Democratic tradition of man’s basic right to deter mine his own destiny. To ser iously consider proposing re distribution prior to providing our people wth a public hear ing is unjustifiable.” Deadline For 1971 Feed Grain Sign-up George Dykes, Chairman of the Brantley County ASCS Committee, reminds all feed grain producers who plan on participating to visit the county office not later than Friday, April 9, and filetheir application.
