ATLANTA — With the week

ignated by Governor Ernest
Vandiver as Spring Clean - Up
Time in Georgia this year,
Safety Fire Commissioner Zack
D. Cravey today urged all co

Directing his request to

said he was pleased with the
enthusiasm which has been
shown ger^rally during the
past few years in Georgia.
“Formerly, only a few com

how its celebration is wide
spread. People are realizing that
a ‘clean house seldom burns.*
“Spring Clean - Up Time is
the week for us to get rid of

danger life and property around
our homes. Debris must be
cleared out, we must discard
old oily rags and other cora
bustables, check our electric
fuses, see that flammable li
quids are safely kept in medal
containers, check our stoves
and heaters, pipes and chim
neys and make general repairs
around our premises.

Life Can Be
Better
ROBERT V. OZMENT Ph. D.
“HE CONQUERED SELFISH
NESS AND GAVE HIS LIFE”
Jesus had a brother and two
disciples named James. Prob
ably the best known of the three
is James, the son of Zebedee and
the brother of John. I am very
much interested in this name be
cause our church is named St.
Janies. A study of James, the
son of Zebedee, is exciting. I see
things in his life which display
human nature in its selfish state.
I also see qualities which are ad
mirable and reflect his genuine
devotion to Christ. The story of
the life of James is one of pity,
selfishness, inspiration and sacri
fice.
Jesus must have had a lot of
respect for James because he be
came a member of the so-called
‘ipner circle’. Peter, James and
John were with Jesus more than
any of the other disciples. These
three went with Jesus to heal
Peter’s mother-in-law. They were
with Jesus when the daughter of
Jairus was awakened from death.
They were also invited to go with
Jesus to the darkness of Gethse
mane where Jesus faced probably
His most crucial experience.
James was not the perfect dis
ciple; he made mistakes. He had
some of the faults which I have,
and he faced many of the prob
lems which we all face. Selfish
ness seemed to be his greatest
obstacle to overcome. One glar-

N. S. SAVANNAH
-‘America has the lead in atom power for ships. Let’s keep it!"
said Ralph E. Casey, president of the American Merchant Marine
Institute, at the July 21 launching of the nuclear merchant ship
Savannah.
Besides the Savannah, we have an atomic aircraft carrier, a
destroyer, a cruiser and 33 submarines built or building The
private merchant marine industry must accept this responsibility
of progress.
One American company, Esso Standard Oil, has already offered
to build and operate a nuclear tanker, provided the Government
contributes the power plant. A second American Line, Isbrandtsen,
has proposed cutting one ot its present ships in half and inserting
an atomic power unit in a prefabricated hull section.
It is forward thinking like this which will give substance to
President Eisenhower’s prophecy that the N.S. Savannah will be
the “forerunner of atomic merchant and passenger fleets which
will one day unite the nations of the world in peacefid trade ”
ing evidence of this is seen when
James and John asked Jesus,
“Grant us to sit, one at your
right hand, and one at your left,
in your glory.’’ (Mark 10:37).
On this occasion, Jesus asked
them, “Are you able to drink the
cup that I drink, or be baptized
with the baptism with which I am
baptized’’. (Mark 10:39). From
this experience of stark selfish
ness and apparent unconcern re
garding the other disciples, James
marched to spiritual peaks that
only a few have attained. The
story of the life of James up to
this point is like many of our
lives. You will note that Jesus
did not criticize James and John
for such ambition. It would be
good if we all could be motivated
by such a high desire.
After the death and resurrec
tion of Jesus, James became one
of the leaders of the early church
The Christian faith grew so rapid
ly that Herod could not keep it
under his control. The Jews
ty. Herod sentenced James to be
vene and help destroy Christiani
ty. Herod sentenced James t obe
killed by the sword. Why did they
select James? It seems reason
able to assume that he was one
of the great leaders of the church.
He became the first Apostle to be
martyred. James walked th#
road of selfishness, and through
the Grace of God conquered him
self, and then gave his life for
the cause of Jesus. No man can
pay a greater price.
When Jesus and James met tn
the Kingdom, I believe there was
a chair near the throne, and I can
almost hear Jesus say, ‘James,
you are able to drink of the eup
and have earned the right to a
place of honor’.
