A Portrait
.
Os Christ
Revelation 1:12-16 paints a
very ugly picture of Christ. If
you think that sounds blasphem
ous, look for yourself. A fam
ous artist once tried to paint on
canvas the description of Jesus
given in these verses. He was
not at all pleased with the pic-.
ture he created.
When we read Revelation, we
must remember that John wrote
with many symbols. This makes
it very difficult for us to un
derstand. Would you be sur
prised if I told you that there
was a time when this book was
perfectly understood ?
It was written as a summons
to renewal and courage in the
face of impending persecution.
Christians were going to have
to stand up to fearsome ordeals.
It wouldn’t be easy. They would
have to believe that the Chris
tian faith was worth dying for.
Christians in that day needed
a strong Christ. This is the
kind of Christ who came to
John. John’s picture of Christ
is not of his appearance, but
of his character,
Here in Revelation is the pic
ture of a cosmic Christ. He is
one who has authority over all
realms. The vast power of the
Roman Empire is no match for
the power of the cosmic Christ.
This Christ held stars in his
hands. His face is like the sun.
This enlarged concept of Christ
is what held the church togeth
er during its most trying days.
Christians belonged to one
whose power and majesty were
matchless.
1. He was clothed with a long
robe bound by a golden girdle.
The girdle was like a wide belt.
The robe and belt are a symbol
of wisdom and authority. The
robe of the educator is a symbol
that he knows what he is talk
ing about. He is an expert on
matters pertaining to his field
of study. He is imminently com
petent. So we see Jesus as the
great wise one, master of all
wisdom. This wisdom is the
power of his authority.
2. His head and hair was
white with all whiteness. This
suggests his venerability. He is
the judge. As judge of men, he
has the duty and the right to
separate the righteous from the
unrighteous. He is pure in his
judgment. There is no error
when he judges.
3. His eyes were like a flame
of fire. The fire of an acety
lene torch penetrates hard met
al. It cannot withstand the in
tense heat that is focused upon
it. This means that Jesus knows
the human heart and mind. His
knowledge pierces the most
hardened heart. He can ex
pose the inner wickedness of
men’s ways to his view,
4. His feet were bronzed.
Jesus walked among the men
of earth. He was untouched by
their sinful surroundings. He
could deal with sinners where
they were. The battle within his
soul had been fought and God
had given Him the victory. Now
He walked where “angels fear
ed to tread.” In this way he
sncountered the sins that peo
ple of the seven churches of
Asia were committing. He was
everywhere, seeing everything,
hearing every heart beat.
5. His voice was a steady
roar, like the sound of Niagara
Falls during the rainy season.
Such a roar is deafening, com
manding the attention of all
within range. So the truth of
God commands the attention of
men. The judgment day has
been described as a day of much
noise. Today men can choose
not to listen. Then all will have
to hear.
6. In his hand He held seven
stars. These were the angels
of the seven churches of Asia.
Seven is a number symbolizing
completeness. Is it not possible

Jack W. Shuman, Our Miracle
Building Supply Man Is Off To
Oregon For A Whirlwind Trip
On Saturday afternoon we
called on Jack W. Shuman in
his office, which occupies the
entrance room to his fine home
three miles East of Pembroke,
and as always we found him
cordial and friendly, and will
ing to talk to us about HKls
business and some of his plans.
To us, and to most others, he
and his business is a fantastic
set up, but Jack is up and do
ing while the others are asleep.
He “wheels and deals,” and
nothing is too big for him, al
though he was raised a poor
Bryan County boy, with a limit
ed education, he has built up a
business that is the envy of all
that know anything about his
affairs.
At the present time he has
22 businesses operating in
Georgia, Florida, Tennessee,
North and South Carolina. And
says that he has plans under
way to open new places at
Palatka, Fla., Gainesville, Fla.,
and Laurinburg, N. C., within
the next 90 days.
It is unbelievable to most of
us to know the size of his oper
ations, for instance he was leav
ing Sunday morning for At
lanta by auto, and on Sunday
afternoon would take a Jet
Plane to Chicago, and from
there on to Portland Oregon,
arriving there Sunday night at
9 o'clock, a distance of more
than 3,000 miles from Pem
broke. There he will visit the
various wood produet mills and
loffices, and says that he buys
eight million dollars worth each
!year from the state of Oregon.
He will come back by Seattle,
Washington for a stop of two
Ldays. and he told Ye Editor that
he was going to call our son W,
0. (Bill) Miller, who is Public
Relations Manager for Lock

that within these messages is
the message of Christ for every
church of all times?
7. A sharp two-edged sword
issued from his mouth. This is
ithe word of God. The author of
iHebrews wrote, “For the word
of God is living and active,
sharper than any two-edged
sword . . . discerning the
{thoughts and intentions of the
iheart." The word that would
! be spoken to these churches was
'true. It could be resisted but
|not denied. It could be tramp
‘led upon, but not destroyed. It
‘could be burned, but not con
sumed.
So is Jesus. One who is of
such power and knowledge can
not be contained by the uni
verse. Yet he loves you. Won't
you completely give Him your
heart ?
heed Shipbuilding Corporation,
the parent Company of all of
Lockheeds operations, he hav
ing known our son during their
school years.
There is one thing that every
one has to give Mr. Shuman
credit for, and that is he has
always given our local boys a
job when he could get one, and
placed them in charge of his
business if they merited it. He
works many Bryan county boys
and his activities have meant
more to Bryan county than
those of any other one man that
we know of.
He was pleased with things
and made a statement, not bit
ter, but seemed to come from
having learned something, that
he was through with politics,
and that he wanted all of his
key personnel to remain out of
politics, that it hurts your
business, and he told us that
since he was defeated for Rep
resentative in June, that he had
gotten back to his business and
forgot everything else, and that
in that time he had made, and
saved more money than he ever
had in a year before. That he
was happy to be a business man
and let the others play with the
politics. Os course he is inter
ested in who will be our offi
cials, and we are sure that he
will remember his friends, if
the occasion comes, but he was
speaking of his own activities.
Ye Editor, can say that dur
ing our many years of knowing
Jack Shuman, he has been extra
nice to us, even when we were
opposing him, and when we
have occasion to ecall on him,
as we do quite often he is real
nice to us. And we for one,
wish him all the success in the
world in his business.

PEMBROKE, GEORGIA, OCTOBER 14, 1965
Bulloch County Fair Opens
With Ellis Arnall Feature
Speaker At Dedication, Eic.
Being a native Bulloch county citizen, and one inter
ested in Fairs, as our father was the first promoter of
fairs in Bulloch County sixty years ago. He carried the
Bulloch exhibit to the Atlanta Fair and won the largest
cash prize ever awarded a county exhibit, SIBOO. 1
am sure it was in 1907,
We have noticed these buildings going up on the high
way between Pembroke and Statesboro and for a time
thought it would be impossible to complete them for
the fair, but they did. :
We took the wife and along with our good friend Har
ry Williamson went to th:&’air, we were amazed and
pleased to find such a nice layout for a fair, and to see
S 0 much actiyity, and if we know anything about what
we are talking about, this Fair will grow into one of
the affairs of this entire section. They had fine ex
hibits, plenty of room to park, it was easy to get to
and get out of, and it seemed as if those in charge
of various details of the fair was old hands at the busi
ness, because everything went along without a hitch.
The highlight of the fair was the dedicating of the
buildings at 8 P.M. at which time a number of promin
ent citizens assembled on the speakers stand, and heard
the feature address of Hon. Ellis Arnall, who is an
announced candidate for Governor in the next election,
but this speech was no political speech, he merely told
the crowd that when he ran and was elected twenty
years ago, that he made one of his first appearances at
the old Teachers College now Georgia Southern, that
he felt very close to it, and he felt like Statesboro should
have a member on the Board of Regents, to better take
care of the interests of their school, he also said that
he did not believe in cities being side tracked off of
highways, evidently meaning the way it looks like
Statesboro is being trated in the location of 1-16, which
will be 12 miles away.
A large crowd cheered him throughout his speech.
We are carrying the story aleng side of this article that
appeared in Tuesdays Savannah Morning News.
We believe two things, one is that the Bulloch County
Fair is going to be a huge success and unless some
thing drastic happens that Ellis Arnall will be Georgia’s
next Governor, he is young, energetic and is busy day
and night seeing and meeting the people of Georgia, he
never lied to anyone when he was Governcr and will not
this time, he has money to run a campaign on, and will
not have to let some of the states “big shots” furnish
the money and control him if he is elected. Whether
you agree with him or not, you have to admit that he
is a go getter, and could make Georgia great Governor.

By Arnall
Special to the Morning News
STATESBORO — Former
Gov. Ellis Arnall told a crowd of
Bulloch County fairgoers Mon
day night that when he is elect
ed governor again he will inau
gurate a “move Georgia for
ward” program.
Arnall was speaker at the offi
ial opening of the five-count
Ogeechee Fair here. He dedicat
ed the SIOO,OOO- main fair build
ing. The fair is sponsored by the
Statesboro Kiwanis Club.
The fair activities began Mo
nay afternoon with a parade. Ar
nall spoke following a barbecue
at the fairgrounds. The fair will
continue through the week with
exhibits from Bulloch, Can
dler, Evans, Jenkins and Scre
ven counties, -
A revanped highway depart
ment ‘“‘under professional lead
ership” will give the coastal
area of Georgia “the attentign it
deserves”, Arnall declared.
The former governor said this
area of the state has been dis
criminated against in highway
programs in past years.
On education, Arnall said
Georgia is still 10fh from the
bottom on the amount of money
spent per pupil. He declared a
teacher raise to the national av
erage would be the first step
toward putting more emphasis
on all phases of education
“when I am again governor.”
Arnall said the “move Georgia
forward” program would in
clude continued emphasis on
tourism and with “every possi
ble effort” made to attract in
dustry.
He also said agriculture will
be aided to take advantage of
technological and scientific ad
~ vances,
| Also, Arnall said, he antici-
E pates a complete revamping of
~ the state tax structure with
~ some persons paying more and
~ those who are now paying more
~than their far share paying less.
He also said he proposes to
call a constitutional convention
to draft a new basic law for
Georgia.
Arnall, now an Atlanta attor
ney, served as governor 1943-46,
and recently said he will seek
the governorship again in the
Georgia Democratic primary
next year.

The Methodist
At Ellabell Are
Doing Fine Job
On Friday afternoon we took
the wife and went to Ellabell
for the barbecue Supper, spon
sored by the Ellabell Methodist
Church to help raise funds to
wards paying for their educa
| tional building.
To put first things first, the
barbecue supper was delicious,
served nicely, plenty of good
delicious food, and a great deal
for sl. It was served in the
unfinished building, and there
we found a large number of
men, women, boys and girls,
busy as bees in a tar bucket,
getting boxes of barbecue ready
’| to be delivered throughout a
"| radius of several miles, to those
ll that had requested it, and it
‘| looked as if everything was
H running like clock work. We
! bought a slice of cake that was
| delicious, and our eye caught
' sight of a beautiful lemon pie,
| so we bought it and found it to
! be just as good as it looked.
: They have undertaken a big
- ' job, adding 6 class rooms, a cen
’ ter meeting or serving room, a
| kitchen and one or two other
! rooms, all of which is conneet
| ed onto the church, all of which
| is taking lots of money, but we
{ have no doubt but what these
| good people will put their pro
| ject over, they have the desire
;t to do so, and they are just sit
» ting idly by “a wishing and
fi wanting,” they are busy doing
¢! something about it and they are
s bound to succeed, We hope that
gi soon they will have another
4| barbecue supper, and we will be
-,| there, We understand that they
t| sold more than eight hundred
,| plates, but this information
s| could be wrong, anyway we
.| know they did a big business,
;| and every one was pleased,
So many times when you go
| to barbecue suppers you do not
| get much to eat and what you
| do get doesn’t taste good, but
| not so at Ellabell, there was
i plenty and it was delicious,
