we asked him to rush to the bus

quicker said than done and Leona
got her jacket 3 minutse before
bus leave. Since that time Leona

will have lots to talk about upon

God sent His Son down to this
earth by way of the body of the
virgin Mary in order that He
mi ht walk down the , , highway . , of
§
earthly life for a few short years
and then bear the sins of a fallen
race in His own body on the cruel
cross. The love of God was mani
fest when Jesus died. So was also
human depravity revealed there at
Calvary. The last time the eyes
of a wicked wor ld looked at God’s
only begotten, sinless Son, He was
hanging on a cross, mangled and
bloody. Jesus was never seen af
ter His resurrection except by the
annointed eyes of saved men. Here
is the picture of the depravity of
a Godless race. The left hand of
the wicked world reached down
and picked up a nail. The right
hand placed the nail in the palm
of Jesus’ hand and the right hand
held the hammer that drove the
nail through the palm of that holy
hand. The hands of the world are
still stained with the blood of the
fred Blalock, 81, a Jonesboro, Ga.
banker, was buried in the Jones

In 1936, from LaFayette, Ga.,
Mrs. Sarah E. Blalock, 90, was

Christians are “a new creation.'
Jesus is the head of our race
owe no allegiance to the old cre

ourselves dead to sin. We are ex

should nail the hands and fed

cross. We should emphasize the
new nature, the new life. We
should walk in the Spirit. We
should not be controlled by the

“Man should not live by bread
alone.” It takes bread to sustain
life. But Jesus came that men
might have the more abundant
life. He said that He was the
bread that had come down from
heaven. We should feed on this
heavenly bread. We Christians
should look at Him and let Him
woo us away from the passions

the old creation. We are risen with
Christ. We should not be wear
