“That ye may be blameless
and harmless, the sons of God,
without rebuke in the midst of
a crooked and perverse nation,
among whom ye shine as lights
in the world.” Philippian 2:15.
Our way of life is the index
♦o our prayers. What we de,
what we say and how we act
is prayer evidence. If there has
been fellowship with Jesus it
reflects itself in our attitudes
for the imprint of the master is
left on those who constantly
abide with him in prayer.
May we all remember that to
worship rightly is to love each
other and each kindly deed
a prayer and as a result our

The people of this community
shall always be grateful to Rev.
and Mrs. Bill Taylor for their
untiring efforts in making the
most successful Bible School
ever held at Sardis. Around
80 children checked in each
morning at 9 o’clock for this
10-day school besides the 12
teachers and refreshments com
mittee and music director who
counted it a privilege to work
with these fine people. Since
Mr. and Mrs. Taylor and family
are somewhat new in our com
munity we feel this was a splen
did. way to get better acquaint
ed.
The commencement exercise
for the school was held on Sun
day night and was well attend
ed by parents who were glad
to see how much their children
had accomplished in learning
how to “Journey with Jesus,”
that being the theme of the
school.
We would like to take this
means of thanking each one who
helped in any way with or for
the school and especially Mr.
Tommy Womack, who so gen
erously gave the service of a
bus that made possible our
large attendance and also to
Mrs. Emily Ruth Morris, our
music director who came from
Woodland, Ga., leaving her du
ties there to help us. To all of
these, let me say again, thanks
so much.
Our revival services started
Monday night, June 24 at 7:30.
The pastor, Rev. Bill Taylor, is
in charge of the service each
night and as usual is bringing
to us some very inspiring mes
sages. We invite all who can
to come out and hear this man
of God.
Sunday, June 30 there will be
the regular Parish meeting of
the Ducan’t Creek and Sardis
Churches, held every fifth Sun
day at Sardis. The service will
begin with the Sunday School
hour, followed by the regular
11 o’clock worship hour. Lunch
will be served in the fellowship
building and the afternoon will
be given to a business session
followed by congregational
singing. The public is invited
to bring a picnic lunch and
join us.

THE COVINGTON NEWS
Community News from
County
Line
By Mrs. H. D. Lancaster
Sorry the County Line news
column failed to appear in this
paper last week. The truth of
matter was, we were on a trip
to Columbus to viist with Mrs.
W. R. Anthony and family, in
whose air conditioned home we
spent such a pleasant weekend.
Enroute to her home we went
out of our way a bit to visit our
old home in northern Marion
County. My husband is a native
of Marion County. We lived
there in his childhood home for
28 years after our marriage. In
1950 he was stricken with the
cripling form of arthritis. 'For
nearly two years of trying to
carry on with our stock farm
there myself, we soon realized
it was too much, so we sold out
and moved here to our present
location Newton being my na
tive county.
Well, plans are underway for
the summer revival at County
Line, which is to take place
within a few weeks. Rev. Ed
McGhee will be the visiting
pracher. The grounds and ce
metery have been cleaned off,
church floors are o be refinish
ed next week, and most im
portant off all much prayer is
being made that the church will
really be revived and return to
its former zeal. Even in he re
ligous world the pendelum
swings back and forth as does
the clock on the wall, there is
the ebb and flow of the tides
even as the tides on the mighty
ocean. God is still on the throne
and the human heart is the abid
in.' place of his holy spirit. May
He ever motivate our every
move otherwise we fail maiser
ably.

Protect Your Right to Drive!
Is your right to drive protected by enough in
surance to meet the increased requirements of Geor
gia's Safety Responsibility Law? Here's a good sug
gestion that could save you a lot of trouble. Take
out your present insurance policy and examine if. If
the amounts of bodily injury liability coverage are less
than SIO,OOO for one person, less than $20,000 for two
or more persons in any one accident, you need more
insurance.
And here's another good suggestion; for complete
information on how Georgia's new Safety Responsibil
ity Law will affect you, see your local State Farm
Agent. He will be happy to explain all of the details.
