Far be it from us to feel “smug;”
but the feeling most of us get when
our very own come back to us to
establish their homes, is the very
next thing to it. Correction - not
so much “smug." as a deep feeling
of gratitude.
We feel that we know the kind
of environment and training of
these children of ours, who are no
kmg<r children, but men and
women taking their places in the
world to make it a better - or worse

we do know their training, we have

and His Kingdom are put first; j
where family ties and Christian ■

This week we are happy to pre

who have really just come home
to live. For. Mr. and Mrs. Leslie
A. Hix are both natives of Newton

years in Atlanta - always with the
hope, Mrs. Hix confides, of moving
back here.
Mrs. Hix enjoys swimming,
horse-back riding, and outdoor
sports, in addition to homemaking,
which comes first.
Mr. Hix. who is with the Western

all sports, including tennis, boat

They have one little son. Scott,
who is fourteen months old: and

"WHEN SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS
BECOMES A VIRTURE"
By ROBERT V. OZMENT, Ph. D.
St. James Church, Atlanta
A lot of people are self
conscious. Frequently a little
girl is self-conscious when she
loses her front teeth,. A young
man might reflect self-consci
ousness if his shirt collar is
soiled. A young woman might
be self-conscious if her
hair is hard to control. This
type of self-consciousness could
easily be the motive for better
personal appearance. However,
I see nothing about it that de
notes virtue.
Recently, I stood in the pul
pit of Trinity Church in Bos
ton, Massachusetts. This is the
church where Phillips Brooks
preached and was consecrated
as a Bishop. I thought of an
idea that this great preacher
expressed from that pulpit. He
used to say that if a man ever
discovered that he was living
only a half-life, the other half
would haunt him until he re
leased it. A man who ever
knows himself as a transformed
person will never be content to
live any other life.
Jesus never onoe fostered
selfishness, but He did en
courage people to examine their
souls. We are not to look with
in in order to parade our vir
tues, but to uncover selfishness
that has been living under the
name of religion. A sincere
look within might help us dis
cover pride that has been
parading in garments of hu
mility or recognize our sins
that have been marching in the
ranks of social acceptance and
respectable deeds.
When a person comes to rea
lize that his life is not what it
ought to be. he has learned an
important lesson. If he becomes
selfconscious about his sins, he
is on the road to an abundant
life.
The easiest thing in the world
to do is find the sins of other
people. No man has ever be
come a better man by pointing
out the sins of his neighbors.
You can enumerate the sins of
society all day and go to bed
just as big a sinner as you were
the day before. One of the most
difficult things in the world to
do is to discover our own sins.
You remember the story of the
thoughtless men who brought
the poor woman who had been
caught in the act of adultery to
Jesus. They accused her with
out batting an eye and wanted
to stone her. Jesus asked these
men to look within, and if any
among you is innocent of «in,
let him cast a atone at her.

How To Remodel
Obsolete Porch
If, like millions of Ameri
cans, you have an old home
and a new space problem, you
may find the solution at your
very doorstep.
Or, to be more specific, on
the front porch.
Front porches are fine in a
free, open countryside, where
both the view and the air are
invigorating. But in modern
cities and overflowing sub
urbs, such conditions are rare.
A factory fogged atmosphere
doesn’t help the respiratory
system, while a close - up of
the neighbors garbage cans is
hardly inspiring.
So — if such irritants pre
vail — it’s high time to get off
your porch rocker and put the
area to better use. According
to the Southern Pine Associa
tion, any fair sized porch can
be economically enclosed and
converted to a living or family
room. By making the addition,
space is released elsewhere in
“Ruth’s” room, for her im
provement, and early recovery.
‘Sno joke about this snow,
which has defied old man
Sunshine for a full week! It
is beautiful in pictures, or as
a rarity; but. underfoot and
frozen - well that is not even
for the birds! And while it in
sists on being the “man who
came to dinner”, let’s not forget
to keep breadcrumbs or baby
chick feed, and water in feed
er stations, or just in vessels,
where our little featnered
friends can find them. If they
don’t have four times their
weight each day in food, they
can’t live, so we are told — so
let’s keep them living and
singing, to make this wonder
ful world more colorful and
beautiful with their songs.
If this snow doesn’t go back
north where it belongs, and
we get one more call from Mi
ami and The Office Boy say
ing “it’s 71 degrees here, to
night”, we might just head
south, and leave the broom to
do the — “SWEEPIN’ UP”.
When a man looks within
and discovers his filthy sins, he
is likely to look up for help.
This happened to Thomas when
he doubted Jesus. It happened
to Peter when he denied our
Lord. It happened to David
when Nathan told him the par
able about the rich man and
poor man. It happened to the
psalmist. He prayed. “Wash me
thoroughly from mine iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin.”
(Psalm 51:2)
Self-consciousness becomes a
virtue when we look within
and become spiritually em
barrassed because of our ugly
sins. This is frequently the
first step to the Christian life.

requires.
In many communities, re
modeling contractors and retail
lumber dealers specialize in this
kind of work. If there’s a com
petent craftsman in the fam
ily, he can do most of t h e
work himself, equipped with
little more than standard tools
and a fair working knowledge
of lumber.
Expensive structural altera
tions are seldom necessary,
since most porches have a floor,
a ceiling and at least one wall
already being. What’s needed
are three new walls, plus a door
and the usual windows. Here’s
how:
To frame the new walls, lum
ber 2 x 4’s should be erected
vertically along outer perime
ter of porch and space between
16 and 24 inches. With the high
strength provided by a No. 2
grade of seasoned Southern
Pine, spacing can be safely fix
ed at the maximum with con
siderable material savings.
The “studs” (2 x 4’s) should
be doubled at sides of window
and door openings. A “header”
is required over the opening,
which consists of a couple of
2 x 4’s or 2 x 6’s placed on
edge.
To properly brace and
strengthen the wall framing,
wood sheathing should be nail
ed across the outer edges of
the “studs.” A No. 2 or 3 grade
of one inch thick lumber should
be specified. Wood siding can

be nailed directly to the sheath
ing to complete the exterior
Whether you use horizontal
“d r op” siding or vertical
boards - and battens, depends
on which type best comple
ments the contours and archi
tectural style of the house. A
vertical pattern makes the
house look taller, while the re
verse is true of a horizontal
application. If the porch doesn’t
extend the full course of the
house front, it’s wise to select
a siding pattern and paint that
harmonizes with existing walls.
The interior can be complet
ed by nailing wood paneling to
the vertical “studs” across
their inner edges.
The combination of wood
paneling on the interior, and
wood sheathing and siding on
the exterior is easily applied.
Moreover, it gives a 3 inch
thickness of solid wood whose
insulation is equivalent to that
of 18 inches of masonry. In
may climates, no other insula
tion will be necessary.
All lumber, framing and
finish alike, should be good
quality and pre-shrunk by pro
per seasoning. When Southern
Pine is grade - marked, t h t
buyer has this vital assurance.
