Newspaper Page TextWords ©ue Uy By Rev. LawTenee Lockett Prospect United Methodist Church God only once in all human history walked down the starlit stairway of heaven to earth with a baby in His arms. At that moment the Christmas Spirit was born. How can you measure the Chirstmas Spirit in your own life this Christmas? I'd like to suggest three ways: heighth, depth, and width. First, you can measure your Christ mas Spirit by the height of your Olis. ^J^oujs-Z Os Oaltfi BAPTIST CHURCHES ALMON BAPTIST Almon Rev. Kenneth Hughes BETHEL GROVE BAPTIST Mansfield. Ga. Rev. W. L.

Covington Rev Clifton Dra*d\ ZION BAPTIST Highway 20 Rev. Reese T. Sanders giving. High giving is giving to human hurts and needs without ex pecting them to give in return. How many gifts are you giving this Christmas to people who can’t give in return? Those are the ones that count for the Christmas Spirit. Second, you can measure your Christmas Spirit by the depth of your forgiveness. How many people have you forgiven who have done you wrong? Maybe a close friend or a relative or a parent has done some thing to hurt you. Don’t get bitter, forgive them this Christmas. Bake them a cake or buy them a small gift or make a phone call and let them know the Christmas Spirit is flowing through your life in a mighty way. Finally, you can measure your Christmas Spirit by the width of your heart’s door to the Savior. The Christ-child says: “Behold, I stand THE BIBLE No. 247. The Death of Sennacherib When King Hezekiah heard of the Assyrian threat to Judah, he sent his messengers to Isaiah, asking the prophet to pray for the people. Isaiah sent word to the king, saying that there was no cause for worry, for the Lord would see to it that Sennacherib would receive a note asking him to return home at once, and there in Assyria he would be slain. However, Hezekiah received a threatening and blasphemous letter from Sennacherib. Then Hezekiah went to the Temple to pray. And the Lord responded to the prayer by promising that the Assyrians would not come into the city nor shoot a single arrow there, for the Lord would defend the city from its enemies for His sake and for the sake of David "Then the angel of the Lord went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand,- and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses. So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh. And it came to poss, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword, and they escaped into the land of Armenia: and Esarhoddon his son reigned in his stead."

The utility official, who heads the company's economic services program, said the plan allows die customer to make decisions on conservation himself. “He still may use power when demand on the system is heavy, but he must pay more for it,” Hensley said. “Yet he also may economize by delaying his heavy power needs until the critical or peak fieriod is over." The utility official said the pilot program, including tests to deter mine feasibility of statewide ap plication, will cost $850,000 over a two-year period. Equipment tests are scheduled for May, 1977, in Wrens in Jefferson County. PROSPECT UNITED METHODIST Oakhill Community Rev. Lawrence locket RED OAK UNITED METHODIST Jackson Hwy., Covington Rev.
