Newspaper Page TextVOLUME 49 — NUMBER 19 PASTOR'S PEN To receive a gift there must be a giver. To receive a good gift you must look above to the Father. James 1:17 — Every good and perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights. How can I obtain the heavenly gift or gifts? By being obedient to the commands of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The greatest is eternal life, we must have this gift so that we will be qualified for the others. Romans 6:23 — For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Please get your Bible and follow up these scrip tures. You must be fully persuaded, you must know you have eternal life. Now the queestion among peo ple today is how can I know, there are so many dif ferent Bibles? Now stay with me in everything here. First some Bibles are different so if you want to get the inspiration I’m trying to give you get the King James Authorized Version of the old and new Testa ments. St. John 4:24 — God is a Spirit; and they that worships him must worship him in spirit and in truth. So lets look above for our blessings. After you have eternal life (I John 4:1 — Believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they be of God). God wants us to try him and prove him in our every day walk of life. I could not profess Christ if I didn’t possess him in my heart. I must feel him. I must get his revelations, he must make himself real to me before I can be real to him. Many have gone dead after conversion because they did not prove God to themselves. (Acts 1 :8 Ye shall receive power after the Holy Ghost is come upon you; and ye shall be witnesses unto me.) Do you feel the power of God in your life ? This sort of power if you have it vou will know because there is none so great. The witness you will have in you to make this so simple a child can understand is Jesus Christ our Lord. (I John 5:12, 13 He that hath the Son hath life and that hath not the Son hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the Son of God.) If you are not sure about your life with God let’s get sure, it is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of a living God. If you need help come visit with us or call on us.

Al-Anons To Hold Open Meeting Al-Anons of the Nahunta- Folkston group are hosts to a District meeting to be held Sunday, May 16th, at 4:30 P. M. in the Brantley County High School Cafeteria, 2 miles west of Nahunta on Highway 84. Alcoholics, Al- Anons and interested friends and relatives are invited to attend and hear our Georgia Delegate to the World Service Organization in New York tell her story. By now most people know that there is hope for the ■Alcoholic through Alcoholics- Anonymous, if he or she wants it. But what about the wife, the husband, the child, or the parent of an alcoholic? Al-Anon offers help and understanding, which is sore ly needed by these people. Per haps the greatest consolation to them lies in the fact that they discover that they are not alone — that there are others who have the same problems, with the same , resentments and frustrations. In Al-Anon one learns that alcoholism is not a sin or lack of character but that it is a progressive disease which is incurable, but can be arrested if the alcoholic has an honest desire to stop drinking. The new Al-Anon member also learns that those who have been in Al-Anon for some time find, that his or her own at titude toward the alcoholic has changed from one of nagging, begging, and bribing to one of understanding. Al-Anons learn that they should never be a crutch to the alcoholic. In other words, they should never cover up when he’s too sick to work or attend a meeting, that they should never pick up his bad checks, that they Should al ways let the alcoholic take the consequences of his own ac tions. Many have come into Al- Anon when their spouses join ed A. A., but many others have found Al-Anon while their spouses continued to drink, refusing the help of A. A. These people, in both cate gories, learn that nobody can make another person quit drinking, but that the relatives of Alcoholics can help them selves. And indirectly, this of ten helps the alcoholic. Like A. A., Al-Anon is a program of recovery, away of life. Every meeting is full of miracles, hope and under standing. Like A. A., Al-Anons begin every meeting with the Seren ity Prayer. “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.” For further information call 462-5605 or 462-5455.
