Minister ’s
Corner
Bearing Precious
Treasure
By Ben Mock
In the mid 1830s, Irish
stonemason Henry T.
Fitzsimmons was travel
ing through north Georgia
and discovered outcrop
pings of marble in what
was then Cherokee
County. Recognizing the
exceptional quality of the
sparkling stone, the entre
preneur obtained mining
rights and soon estab
lished the Long Swamp
Marble Company, quarry
ing by the crudest of
methods, then carving
monuments and memori
als for local customers.
Trade was limited, as de
liveries had to be made by
ox cart. With Fitzsim
mons’ passing in 1845,
Georgia’s fledgling mar
ble industry went into de
cline, until the Marietta
and North Georgia Rail
road built a branch line
into the area in 1883, at
which time the Tate fam
ily, with the aide of in
vestors from “up nawth,”
formed the Georgia Mar
ble Company. In short
order the quantity and
quality of Pickens County
marble gained the atten
tion of builders and sculp
tors throughout the nation
and beyond, as freight
trains left the Marble Hill
quarry with the raw mate
rial for an impressive list
of structures - bridges,
fountains, museums and
government buildings
across the country, and
60% of the statues in
Washington, D.C., includ-

Building
Up or
Tearing
Down?
“Therefore encourage one
another and build each other up,
just as in fact you are doing."
—1 Thessalonians 5:11 NIV
I ost of us have tendencies to both build up and tear down those around
us. When we encourage and give constructive criticism in a spirit of love,
we build others up, but when we ridicule or humiliate others, or give
criticism in unkind ways, we tend to tear them down. We frequently need to give
feedback to the people who we live, work and play with, and so knowing how to
do this in a way that encourages them to improve is important. Coaches, teachers
and parents are called to do this by the very nature of their roles, which require
them to correct and instruct others. But some roles require us to stifle our
criticisms; students are wise to hold their tongue before correcting their teachers
just as children shouldn’t be too quick to correct or admonish their parents. One
simple way to build up those around us is to tell them what they are doing well,
and when you must correct or criticize someone, be sure to do it in a kind and
loving way. Soften your tone and perhaps wait for a better time to deliver the
criticism. If you are irritated with the person, this will almost certainly come across
in your words. Wait for the right time and place to criticize or correct. Words of
praise can be given almost anywhere and anytime, but words of criticism are
usually best done privately. - Christopher Simon
