At a regular meeting of the unit on Monday, September’ 25, at 8:30 p. m., Sidney Hulett, assistant chief, re quested information on the a vailabilityidf emergency ser vice be made known to the public at large. Preliminary meetings ofthe Rescue Unit, volunteers planned to establish the unit for rescue purposes. In foll owing meetings, it was de cided to extend coverage to include emergencies. Officers of the unit are: Chief- J.W. Harris Asst. Chief- Sidney Hulett Treasurer- Joe Sears Secretary- Huey Ham The Rescue Unit has answer ed several calls for emergen cy assistance and carried victims to area hospitals. The all-volunteer unit does PASTOR'S PEN BE OF GOOD CHEER Matthew 9:2; Mark 6;50; John 16:33 Man's extremity is God's opportunity. To souls in need, Jesus repeatedly said, "Be of good cheer. " Jesus could say," Be of good cheer," for He always had a cure for every trouble, whether it be sin, disease, fear, or weakness. We find three of these "good cheers" spoken by Jesus in the gospels: 1. The good cheer of pardon. "And, be hold, theybroughttohim a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed; and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee" (Matt. 9:2). God does no and cannot ignore sin; He forgive sin. To forgive or pardon literally means to send away. God sends our sins away, but only on the basis of Christ's blood. The sinner receives forgiveness when he repents and believes, which is the two-fold meaning of confession (I John 1:9). The greatest encouragement Jesus ever speaks to one is this, "Be of good cheer. Take courage. Your sins are sent away because of your repentance and faith. ""Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth in iquity, andpassethby the transgression? " (Mic. 7:18). 2. The good cheer of His personal pre sence. "And immediately he talked with them and saith unto them, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid" (Mark 6:50). Jesus spoke this "cheer" to His disciples as they faced destruction. The conscious ness of Jesus' presence always brings st rength and encourage. To know He is with us is to have inner power, courage and faith to conquer in life. The Psalmist said he absolutely feared no evil, not even death. Why? "For thou art with me" (Ps. 23;4). 3. The good cheer of His overcoming power. "In the world ye shall have tribu lation; but be of good cheer; I have over come the world" (John 16;33). Jesus pro mises positive trouble for His disciples. Nevertheless, he counsels, "Be of good cheer. " "I have won the battle over every enemy. You can win, too, if you, like I appropriate God's power in your lives. " You can conquer is the title of a fairly re centreligiousbook. The title is mislead - ing. You alone cannot conquer but God and you can more that conquer. "We are more than conquerors through him that loved us" (Rom. 8; 37). Aman linked to God can no more be defeated than God Himself. Ernest S. Purcell, Pastor First Baptist Church, Nahunta, Ga.

The offensive unit was unable to generate any kind of a drive as they had no backyard to play in and a mistake could have been very costly.

The Herons took the opening kick of the second half and re turned the ball 19 yards to the Herons 39 yard line.
