PASTOR'S PEN
THE DIETY OF CHRIST
Thomas answered and said unto him, My
Lord and My God. - John 20;8.
Os all the confessions of Christ recorded
in the gospel, that of Thomas is the most
touching. When fully comminced of the re
ality of Jesus' resurrection, he looked up
into the Saviour's face and said,
into the Saviour's face and said, "My Lord
and My God. " Note that the Lord Jesus did
not dis own these titles and refuse this
homage. Nor did he rebuke his disciple for
thus addressing him. If he had not wished
his followers to worship him as God, he
surely would have connected them.
All through the Bible the diety of the
saviour is declared. The angel of the annu
nciation proclaimed it to Mary. (Luke 1:35)
And John the Baptist announced it to Israel
(John 1:34) A legion of demons knew it, for
they exclaimed in (Matt. 8:29.) What have
we to do with this, Jesus, thou son of God:
Mark, Peter and John also asserted it in
no uncertain terms. (Mark 1:1 - Mt. 16; 16
John 20:31) Yes, the scripture bear abun
dant record that Jesus Christ is God over
all, blessed forever.
A preacher was once expounding on this
truth when he was challenged by a cultest
who objected. " You say that Jesus Christ
is co-equal with the eternal father; but he
cannot be, for no son is ever as old as the
one who sires him.
The preacher paused for a moment and
then gave this devastating reply, "you, your
self have just called God the eternal Father.
Does it not strike you that God can only be
the eternal father by having an eternal son?
Eternal fatherhood demands eternal son
ship !
Have . .you acknowledged the diety of the
Lord Jesus Christ? Can you say by faith,
-My-Lord-and My God?

GEORGIA
< They are people who live in areas where
they couldn't get electricity from any other
source. So they formed-consumer-owned electric
utilities—4l of them—that maintain over
7 7,000 miles of lines—enough to go three times
around the earth—to bring dependable electric
power to 80% of the area of Georgia. That’s
doing a big job, and we think you ought to know
about it. Because if we don’t light you up,
we probably do light up someone you know or
love. So remember who we are.

Beet le
damage
severe
The entire forest industries
have begun operations to halt
the spread of the Southern Pine
Beetle that already has reach,
ed severe damage proportions
in a 14 county area of north
central Georgia.
Under the auspices of the
Georgia Forestry Association,
the committee met in Atlanta
to set in motion the details
for getting the damaged trees
harvested.
The plan, established to deal
with any type of natural dis
asters, was designed to pool
the resources of all segments
of the forestry interests in the
state. It deals with transpor
tation, communication, utiliza
tion and other aspects of a
disaster.
Under the plan program, the
State Director of the Georgia
Forestry Commission, the st
ate agency, determines if an
emergency exists and sets the
program into motion.
In the Atlanta meeting, repre
sentatives of the state agency,
the Georgia Forestry Associa
tion and wood using industries
determined that local level
meetings would be held to seek
the best methods of removing
the infested timber.
Entomologists with the U.S.
Forest Service, working with
state and private agencies, say
that removal of the Beetle dam
aged trees and a small ring
of trees around them is the
best way to combat the pes
ky insect.
Estimates of the dam age vary
according to counties , but the
most severe damage apparent,
ly is in a 14 county area be
ginning near Carrolton and ex.
tending through the Atlanta m et
tropolitan area to Athens. Much
of the heavy infestation is in
the Atlanta area.
Georgia Forestry Commiss
ion representatives have sur
veyed much of the damage and
will begin pin-pointing individ
ual plots so that salvage op
erations can begin. It is des
irous to rid the areas of the
infested trees prior to Spring
when the beetles will start
migrating, according to ento
mologists. \
a We know that this’willbe
a two-way street if-swe are
to clean up this beetle^damage,
explained Georgia Forestry As.
sociation President Noll A. Van
Cleave of Columbus. “ The
land owners must be willing
to have the damaged trees cut
out for salvage prices and the
wood buying firms will have to
make some adjustment in their
normal buying standards.”
The local meetings, covering
several counties, will begin
immediately so that buyers and
harvesting representatives can
meet to start mapping plans
for immediate harvestlngof the
damaged trees.
One of the problems, as out*
lined by Commission Director
Ray Shirley, is that many of
the affected area? ""e one and
two acre plots that make it
uneconomical for wood cutting
crews to move into the area,
for harvesting.
“ This is why we are going
to have to have a give and take
attitude on the part of all con.
cerned,” Mr. Shirley said.
The beetle damage is actually
reported in 46 counties, but
the severe damage is in the
14 county area of Heard, Tr
oup, Meriwether, Coweta, Pike,
Upson, Crawford, Douglas, Ful.
ton, DeKalb, Morgan, Oconee,
Clark and Rabun.
" We hope the land owners
will be receptive to Georgia
forestry Commission re
presentatives and then the wood
buyers when they come to help
with this beetle infestation,”
President Van cleave said.
He and Commission Direc
tor Shirley said an all out
effort would be made within
the next few weeks to curb
this damaging beetle. "For
estry too important to this sta
te to let such a problem go
unchecked,” Mr. Shirley added.
