By 1972, much of America worth seeing will
be gone for good. The 41,000-mile interstate
highway system will be complete coast to coast.
The opportunity then to see America first with
hardly a light to slow you may be too late.
“The bulldozers building the highways are plow
ing under much of the country’s ties to its past,”
say the editors of Changing Times, the Kiplinger
magazine. They urge efforts now to keep historic
landmarks and suggest widespread action before
bulldozers threaten.
The fight to preserve historic landmarks and
the integrity of towns is being echoed across the
country. Forty-two states and territories have
some form of historical preservation program, and
70 cities and towns have ordinances protecting
valued landmarks. In many other communities,
preservation efforts are voluntary and unofficial.
We would like to raise our voice, in no uncertain
terms, against capital punishment. We do not
believe God intended for one man. or a group of
people, to kill a person in cold blood, or to con
demn him or her to death. When a person is
condemned, then he has to go to the electric chair.
If you vote for that person to be electrocuted
please give us this one answer; “Would YOU pull
the switch to see that he is dead, dead, dead!
Somebody has to be employed to pull switches
which will bring deatli, which we say is just, be
cause the Judge so rules, after the Jury brings in
the verdict. Let’s pray over this matter and ask
ourselves if we would replace that man at the
switch? You on a jury who vote the death sentence,
or you the Judge, who has to pass sentence, are
you willing to pull the switch that takes a life,
which you could not bring back, if someone, on
their deathbed confesses to the crime you have had
a man executed for?
We could never serve on a jury because of the
fact that we do not believe in capital punishment.
We do not believe God intended for man to decide
who should live and who should die. Honestly now,
do you?

“Keep your town’s historic landmarks,” advises
Changing Times. “With so much early America
gone, preservationists are trying to hang onto
the best that’s left, to give future generations a
living legacy instead of having to recreate one.”
Recognizing that not all preservation efforts
deserve to succeed, the magazine urges looking
around. It suggests that even an area which may
not seem to have any historical significance or even
any particular beauty, probably has something worth
beating the bulldozers to.
In the forefront of the preservation movement
and ready to give advice and assistance is The
National Trust for Historic Preservation, 815
Seventeenth Street, N. W., Washington, D. C.
It’s a nonprofit organization founded in 1947 and
chartered by Congress in 1950 as a clearinghouse
for such matters.
Since your editor and publisher is of the so
called “weaker sex”, we know that you who believe
in Capital Punishment will say. because you know
the heart of me, that 1 am a“soft hearted woman.”
When it comes to justice you have never found us
on the weak side of any question in the thirty-four
years we have published this paper.
We cannot all think alike. We are all thinking
as God directs us, or should be. Our minds do not
always run along the same lines. None of us are
near perfect. Many times each of us are wrong
about many things. However, we pray your
serious consideration of this question of Capital
Punishment. The question is before our State now,
as to whether it is right or wrong to take these
lives. Let your voices be heard by letter, or
message, to your representative and the senate.
Let us not sit idly by with Georgia holding the
highest record in the nation for electrocuted
persons!
We do believe however in LIFE imprisonment,
with NO pardons for these people.

Intermediate-Senior Topic:
Growing In Love
Young People-Adult Topic:
Growing In Christian Love
Today we come to the con
clusion of this quarter of les
sons which have dealt with the
theme “Growing as Christians.”
Likewise we come to the con
sideration of the last lesson In
the unit “Areas of Christian
Growth,” and we finish on the
note of Christian love, a fitting
climax to the whole subject of
growth.
Throughout the ages man has
dealt with the theme of love.
By his very nature he is not only
a creature who demands love but
also a creature who must express
the affection of his heart. The
poet, the philosopher, the artist,
all express the deepest senti
ments of love. But there is no
realm In which love is more in
timately and tenderly personified
than in Jesus Christ and the
Christian religion. The very
keynote of the gospel is love, and
we read that God so loved the
world that He gave his only be
gotton Son. Yes, God so loved,
for God is love in its highest
form.
Three things abide in this world
—faith, hope, and love—but the
greatest of these is love.
Our lesson is drawn from the
First Epistle of John. Here love
is the central theme. And in the
passage of scripture which con
stitutes our lesson we see the
kind of love that is demonstrated
and revealed in Jesus Christ.
Love is of such nature that
love for God and love for man
are inseparable. Herein is the
very heart of God’s require
ments, for we are enjoined to
love God with heart, soul,
strength, and mind, and to love
our neighbors as ourselves.
Jesus so summarized the law and
said that on these two command
ments hang all the law and the
prophets.
That we are to grow in love
both to God and to man is in
disputable. It thus behooves us to
come to a better understanding
of the meaning of Christian love,
and thus the importance of to
day’s lesson.
With the opening of today’s
scripture selection, John begins
the conclusion of his First Epis
tle. He had been writing on the
great theme of “the one true
God” and fellowship with Him,
saying that “God is light and in
him is no darkness at all” (1-5).
So also, God is love and can be
known by us only as love. “In

'Says..
For the life of me, I can’t
understand why any loyal red
blooded American citizen, be he
professor In a university or st
reet sweeper, should object to
signing an oath of loyalty to our
state or country!
No matter what the circums
tances or what the occasion,
I’d proudly sign my name to
an oath of loyalty to the U.S.A.
Not that I approve of every
thing that our officials do. . .
Sometimes I disagree with even
our Governor, or our Presid
ent, and would openly say so,
but that has nothing to do with
my loyalty to my country.
If a man is not willing to
stand up for the U. S. A., then
he has the world to choose from!
Let him be honest enough to
turn his back on the benefits
she affords him, and move off
to some other country more to
his liking.
If I had children, I would not
want them to go to school or
come under the influence of a
teacher who was ashamed to or
unable to declare his loyalty to
our country.
To me, this is comparable to
the kids who refuse to salute
the American Flag In school.
Porter Memorial Church Has
Annual Homecoming Service
PORTERDALE — Homecoming
Day at the Julia A. Porter Mem
orial Methodist Church was lit
erally that for many sons and
daughters of the church, who
returned with their families to
worship in the sacred sanctuary
which had come to mean so
much in their lives. The pas

welcomed home from an exten
ded trip, which included Hong-
Kong, Hawaii, and Japan with
visits to many mission areas
of the Methodist Church.
“The Gratuities of Age” was
the appropriate and challenging
message delivered by the pas
tor.
Interesting features of the ser
vice were significant. Mrs.
Mamie Finley, who joined the
church in January 1904, was

this,” he says, “the love of God
was made manifest among us,
that God sent his only Son into
the world, so that we might live
through him” (4:9). This was
John’s thesis, and such a pro
found truth led him to his con
clusions concerning human and
divine love.
We are to love one another,
“for love is of God; and every
one that loveth is born of God,
and knoweth God.”
John’s use of the word “love”
is extravagantly impressive. In
today’s lesson the word is used
either as a noun or as a verb
some twenty-five times. Its use
makes this passage of scripture
one of the most treasured of all
biblical writing. John’s analysis
begins on the note of loving one
another (vs. 7) and concludes,
as we shall see, with the same
theme, “That he who loveth God
love his brother also” (vs. 21).
John has made an outstanding
contribution to Christian theo
logy, for he has highlighted the
doctrine that “God is love.”
Nevertheless, it would seem to
have been his purpose not to
center our attention here on this
thought that God Is love but rath
er to lead us to necessary re
sults of this truth, namely, that we
are to “love one another.”
John’s primary concern was
that the readers of his Epistle
should come to see the implica
tions of the truth that God is love,
and should In turn love their
neighbors even as God first loves
us.
To understand John’s conclus
ions we must of necessity see the
relationship between the fact that
love Is of God and the truth that
God Is love. He says that “he that
loveth not, knoweth not God; for
God Is love.” This love of God
was shed abroad In the world as
God sent his only begotten Son
into the world, that we might live
through him. The purpose of
God’s gift is clearly set forth
in verse 10, as John tells us that
God sent his Son “to be the pro
pitiation for our sins.”
John uses exultant language to
hold high the love of God, and as
he employs the word “love” he
would make us ashamed of the way
in which we often so glibly use the
term. John rather elevates the
meaning of love by showing us
that love is bom of God, for God
is love. He gives to the world a
new picture of God which is
distinctly different from the
views of other religions and of the
world in general.
A God who is love cannot be
comprehended as a God far re
moved from the affairs and
activities of men, for love implies
an Intimate, personal, and re
deeming God whose chief joy is
fellowship with his children.
The flag is the symbol of our
nation, and no one who refuses
to honor it should be allowed to
enjoy the benefits it represents.
When Immigrants enter our
country, they should be tho
roughly Informed of our basic
laws and Constitution, and if they
are not disposed to abide by these,
they should be required to re
turn to the country whence they
came.
To really appreciate the free
dom we enjoy, these disgruntled
citizens need to live a while in
some of the lands in which such
freedom is unknown.
Our government is not perfect.
There is much that might be
improved, and we should all work
and strive toward perfecting it,
and the best way to do this is
by being loyal to the ideals ex
pressed by our forefathers in
our Constitution and basic laws.
We certainly cannot expect to
reach perfection by refusing our
loyalty to what our government
represents.
As far as I am personally con
cerned, Fd be willing to sign a
loyalty oath whenever presented
an opportunity. If I ever reach
the place I would not sign such
an oath, PH emigrate to some
other land!

(Pastor Porterdale Presbyterian Church)
In these times of tension when
we hear so often the violent
and destructive words of pre
judiced hate it is well that we
listen to Him who is the source
of all life for words to live by
and build by and love by.
Jesus who is himself the “Way,
the Truth and the Life” has said,
“Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called sons of
God.” He has even said, “Love
your enemies and pray for those
who persecute you.” In most
positive terms he has given us
his New Commandment, “A new
commandement I give you, tht
you love one another; even as I
hae y
have loved you, that you also
love one another. By this all
men will know that you are my
disciples, if you have love for
one another.” The great and
first commandment he tells us
is this: You shall love the
Lord your God with all your
heart, and with all your soul,
and with all your mind. . .and
you shall love your neighbor as
yourself.”
John, the beloved disciple,
understood what Jesus meant as
he writes in his Gospel, “For
God so loved the world that he
gave his only Son, that whoever
believes in him should not perish
but have eternal life.” How
Will You Be A Volunteer?
Yes, you have heard that song
in your church, “Will You Be a
Volunteer for Jesus”? The Unit

clear is the implication of this
as John spells it out for us
saying, “God is love, and he
who abides in love abides in
God and God abides in him.”
John tells of the power and the
practicality of love when he
writes, “There is no fear in
love, but perfect love casts out
fear. . .We love because God
first loved us. If anyone says,
“I love God,” and hates his
brother, he is a liar; for he
who does not love his brother
whom he has seen, cannot love
God whom he has not seen. And
this commandment we have from
him, that he who loves God should
love his brother also.”
The Apostle Paul also knew
the Spirit of Christ when he said,
“For Christ is our peace, who
has made us both one, and has
broken down the dividing wall
of hostility. . .” Paul says
it again when he wrote, “For
in Christ Jesus you are all sons
of God, through faith. For as
many of you as were baptized
into Christ have put on Christ.
There is neither Jew nor Greek,
there is neither slave nor free,
there is neither male or female;
for you are all one in Christ
Jesus.”
Surely these are words to live
by in these troubled times for
they are the very words of life.
teH her you want to be counted
among the ones in this County
who care enough for your fellow
man to meet with us and help
give out educational material to
help save lives. In other words
you will have the knowledge that
you can, with so little effort,
call on people and tell them the
7 danger signals to watch for.
How wonderful it is to know you
have helped one patient catch his
or her cancer in TIME to save
his or her life.
You can never be thankful
enough to the Heavenly Father,
for this opportunity, when a per
son comes to you and says: “Had
it not been for your call at our
house with that Informative Lit
erature on Cancer, I would be
dead today. YOU saved MY life
BECAUSE YOU cared enough to
give a little of your time to tell
me to get a check-up if I had one
of the 7 Danger Signals.” God
expects us to save lives . . . you
would snatch a child back on the
street from an oncoming auto
mobile. But the Cancer sneaks
up on you . . . only YOU can
watch for the danger signal, and
go immediately to your Physician
if you have one of them. THEN
it can be cured if you have one
... if you put it off, for fear
you DO have one . . . then it
cannot be cured.
Remember the Unit in YOUR
COUNTY NEEDS YOU to HELP
save your neighbors life . . . but
in so doing you will learn so much
that YOU might find ... it will
be your life or the life of your
child you can save! Will YOU
be a volunteer?
