BUILDING BETTER HERDS
Dairymen at the Agricultural
Extension Service say buying
cows that already have been
through a lactation is not the
way to build a good herd. Pur
chasing heifers whose dams are
not known by the purchaser;
also is a bad practice. It’s much I
better, the dairymen say, to |
raise the right kind of cows — ■
right on your own farm.

POOR PREACHER — BUT A
MIGHTY GOOD MAN
By Dr. Robert V. Ozmcnt,
Minister, St. James Methodist
Church, Atlanta, Georgia
“He’s the best man I’ve ever
known,” she said with a sparkle
in her eye. She emphasized the
word ‘best’ so much that I knew
she meant every word of it.
She was talking about her
father, who is a Methodist
preacher in Tennessee. I have
LIFE CAN
RF BETTER
ROBERT V. OZMENT, Ph. D.
St. James Church, Atlanta
had the pleasure of meeting
him and you sense his love
both for God and man just be
ing around him. I guess her
words would be music to the
ears of any father. It’s a compli
ment he has earned by turn
ing the other cheek, loving the
unlovable, being a friend to the
friendless, and exchanging
kindness for criticism.
This preacher has left the
footprints of God on the hearts
of little children and in the
eternal memory of a good many
old folks. He has never been
the preacher of a big city
church. He doesn’t make the
headlines of the daily paper
with his sermons. I suppose
some people might say, “he
hasn’t gone very far in the
ministry.” But such a state
ment is relative. It depends on
whose standards you use. If you
use man’s little measuring stick
of bank accounts, stocks, and
social position, you may be
right, he hasn’t gone very far.
But if you use God’s measuring
rod of “love your neighbor as
you love yourself,” and “do
unto others as you would have
them do unto you,” he’s been
an overwhelming success. He
has laid up treasurers where
moth cannot rust and thieves
cannot break in and steal.
She smuggled down in the big
chair and with a sense of pride
I she could not hide said, “Dad
started to high school the year
I entered the first grade. After
graduating from high school he
attended college and received
■ his degree. He cafne up the
hard way. I guess he’s no mas
ter in the pulpit,” but added
quickly, “I’ve heard him preach
some mighty good country ser
i mons. He’s not what you would
! call a scholarly preacher. He’s
just a good man.” I believe this
;is the most important part of
man’s qualifications in becom
ing an effective instrument in
the hands of God. No matter
I how scholarly a man may be
j unless he’s a “good man” he
will not make much of a dent
in a world such as ours.
I don’t know whether she has
told her Dad what she thinks
about him or not, but I know
this, she couldn’t say anything
that would make him happier,
and I think he ought to know.
I may never make it, but
I I’m going to do my best to live
in such away that my boy will
say about me, “He’s the best
man I have ever known.” It will
be a hard struggle, but the
prize will be worth it. With
j God’s help I may make the
I grade.

While passing off badges, we

Now we are making booklets

CHEVY'S NEW HI-THRIFT 6
More miles are back in a gallon of regular-grade
gas—up to 10% more—and Chevy's new Hi-Thrift
6 engine puts them there. It also gives you more
“git” in the speeds you drive the niost~
Here’s an engine that always seems able to coax extra
miles out of a tank of regular-grade gas. In fact, if you’re
one of those drivers who keep tab on things like gas
mileage, you’ll soon see for yourself that this new Hi-
Thrift 6 gets up to 10% more miles a gallon.

1927, a field of six churches.
From there he moved in 1930
to the First Baptist Church at
Chesnee and also at this time
served the Arrowwood Baptist
Church. From this field he left
to enter the Southern Baptist
Seminary in 1932.
He accepted a call to the
West Side Baptist Church in
Union in 1934. From there he
came to Victor, February 7,
1938.
Dr. Lamb married Miss Ida

GROWTH IS NOTED
For 21 years Dr. Lamb has
given himself tirelessly and un
selfishly to the work of Christ
through his church. All the pres
ent buildings at Victor Bap
tist were erected and all the
equipment was purchased dur
ing his ministry here. Victor
Baptist Church today is the
third largest church in Spartan
burg County. It now has 24 de
partments in Sunday School
with over 100 classes with al-
most 1300 enrolled Its adequate
training program provides for
every age group with an enroll
ment of 377. The church has a (
music department and four ac-.
tive choirs. (
One of the greatest blessings,
of the church has been the ■
calling of so many ministersi
and others in church-related
vocations during these 21 years.
In 1937, just prior to Dr.
Lamb’s arrival at Victor Baptist
Church, there were 600 mem
bers with a co-operative pro
gram of $571.13. Total missions
at that time was $1,269.74 and
the church had a total budget
of $6,145.26. Value of the
church property was approxi
mately SIO,OOO.
Today, there are 1,532 mem-:
bers and the church has a co-:
operative program of SIB,OOO.
Total missions for the church
for 1959 is proposed at $20,000
with a proposed total budget of
$78,000. Church property at this
time is evaluated at $400,000.
