Florida, members of the Nat

phasized that producers must
take control of their own pro=-
duction to bring about an app

result in more satisfactory pri

The committee pointed out that
this 5% reduction could come
about through better management
practices, The cow and calf op
erator should eliminate marginal
cows that do not produce a pro
fitable calf by sending them to
slaughter, The feeder can help
reduce the excess supply by bet

visits. While driving, I was
listening to the radio. They
played a record of Katé Smith
singing, ‘“God Bless America.’’
It was one of the most touching
things 1 have heard in a long
time.
America is a great land. We
owe a debt that can never be
repaid to those who have worked
and died to make America great.
Her greatness is measured not
only in her material possessions
but in the opportunities she of
fers her citizens. :
America’s greatness has been
due to her devotion to God! In
her towns and cities, on country
roads, there are houses of wor
ship, with spires that point men
to God., One of the freedoms
we enjoy is the freedom to come
together for religious services.
We sometimes take the fact
that we are Americans too light=
ly. Some time ago, while walk=
ing through a cemetery, I came
across an unusual marker. I
read, ‘‘Born in Germany in 1880;
became an American Citizen in
1910.”’
I thought of that inspiring story
which Edward Everett Hale wrote
some years ago. It is the story
of ““The Man Without a Country.’’
The main character is Lieutenant
Nolan. While being tried for
treason, he was asked ifhe wish
ed to say anything to show that
he had always been faithful to
the United States. His reply
was, ‘‘Damn the United States!
I Wish I may never hear of the
United States again!”’
So began one of the most un=-
usual punishments ever given a
man. ‘‘He never did hear her
Georgia s Youth
Centers Highly
.
Praised by Gov.
ATLANTA (GPS)—Making his
first official talk to the Georgia
State Board for Children and
Youth, Gov. Lester G, Maddox
told the members at their annual
meeting in Atlanta that ¢if all
six of our Youth Development
Centers did not save more than
one boy, they would be worthe
while,”’
The governor was referring to
the state’s six new Youth Deve
lopment Centers in Albany, Way=
cross, Sandersville and Rome,
which will be in full operation by
year’s end, and Augusta and Gain=
esville, which willbe in operation
later,
He said that with the six new
centers, together with seven
youth centers already operated by
counties, ‘‘we can place every
troubled Georgia child within
reasonable reach of help,”’
Gov, Maddox stressed that ‘‘we
be careful what we call these cen=
ters, Let’s consider them as
‘centers of education’ for our
troubled youth,”
Explaining that the centers will
be used to educate and rehabil=
itate boys and girls ‘“who are
wayward or who have gone as
tray,”” he said:
“So, let’s call them students
and not put them in a class by
themselves, as we inspire them
to want to be a better part of
society.”
Maddox said some people have
accused him of being preoccu=-
pied with children and young
people,
“And I am,” he admitted, “I
recognize that the future of this
state lies with its young people,””
He was high in his praise of
the State Youth Board for its
dedication to ‘‘the rescuing of
young lives.,”’ |

—(John 12:45) |
Sometimes there is a ten
dency to become impatient
with our rate of spiritual pro
gress. We feel that we should
move ahead more speedily. But
soul unfoldment is not mea
sured in terms of how fast or
how slow but of how deep is
our awareness, how great is
our understanding. As we grow
and develop in understanding,
we are capable of receiving
more light. Where before our
eyes were closed to Truth, now
we see how all of our experi
ences have been part of God's
good plan for us.

name but once again from Sept
ember 23, 1807 until his death
on May 11, 1863, He was
“The Man Without a Country.”’
After his death, there was
found a slip of paper in his Bible
where he had marked the text:
“?ey desire a country, even a
hedvenly; whereford God is not
ashamed to be called their God;
for He hath prepared for them a
city.’”” On this slip of paper
he had written, ‘“‘Bury me in the
sea; for it has been my home,
and I love it. But will not
someone set up a stone for my
memory at Fort Adams or at
Orleans that my disgrace may
not bé more than I ought to
bear? Say on it, ‘ln Memory
of Philip Nolan, Lijeutenant in
the Army of the United States.
He loved his country as no other
man has loved her; but no man
deserved less at her hands,”
May we today never forget
those things that have made Am
erica great. She can remain
great only as she looks to God
for guidance and strength. This
is ‘. . . one nation, wunder
God. . .”” This nation is not
perfect, her leaders are not per=-
sect, even her citizens are not
perfect. But, in all honesty, I
don’t know of any country I had
rather live in than in America.
Pray a prayer for America,
that God will continue to bless
her. Hold up her leaders to God
in prayer, that God might guide
them lin the important decisions
which they have to make every
day-
