The Supremacy
.
Os Christ
“He who comes from heaven
is above all.” John 3:31.
; 113 his great novel of early
Christianity, The Robe, Lloyd
C. Douglas tells of the slave
Demetrius pushing his way
fhro\lgh the Palm Sunday crowd
in Jerusalem which was sing
ing the praises of a man riding
on an ass. Later he was dis
cussing this experience with an
other slave.
The other asked: “See him—
close up?”
Demetrius nodded in the af
firmative,
“Crazy?” queried the other
slave, i
“No."
“King ?”
“No,” muttered Demetrius,
soberly, “not a king.”
“What is he, then?” ~
“lI don't know,” mumbled
Demetrius, in a puzzled voice,
“but—he is something more im
portant than a king.”
It is this truth which John
makes clearer for us as he
states simply that “he who
comes from heaven is above
all.” John had a few verses
earlier exulted in the good news
that Christ is God’s Son. Now
he comes to the reasonable con
clusion that if this Christ is
God’s Son, then He must be
above everything in the do
mains of God — among which
domains is our earth,
Regardless of how reasonable
the doctrine of the supremacy
of Christ may be, it is still the
one doctrine of Christianity
with which Christians have the
most problems, While we
Christians that Christ is su
preme among the rulers of the
world, that he towers above
presidents, kings and dictators,
that he is more powerful than
‘the storm or the earthquake, we
run into a problem when we
come to the question of the au
thority of Christ in our person
al lives.
If Christ is truly above all,
then he should be more appeal
ing than our pleasures, more
important than our business,
more necessary to our lives
than food, shelter, clothing and
drink. But how many Christi
‘ans in their everyday walk of
life will surrender pleasures,
business, and the daily necessi
ties to Christ? Yes, indeed, few,
if any, really lead sacrificial
lives for their faith. They will
sacrifice for other things, but
for Christ?
The truth is that so much of
our time is involved in selfish
pursuits, We need to admit this
and repent of it. We justify
ourselves of our sins of selfish
ness by saying to ourselves and
sometimes to others, “The Lord
wants me to have a good life.”
Truly the Lord does want us to
have a good life. However a
life of selfishness leads always
downward. One selfish act built
upon another drives human,
down to the level of the ani
mal.
The good, abundant life can
be ours. But the truth that
Scripture seeks to teach is that
we canont get it for ourselves
and that it cannot be found in
earthly treasures. It comes from
putting Christ above all. Then
we will not stop and ask “What
will it cost me?” when we have
opportunities to serve, but we
will ask, “How can I help?” As
Christ lived happily though he
depended upon no earthly pos
essison, upon no earthly pas
sion.
May each Christian strive to
be more Christ-like.

From Viet Nam
To Richmond Hill
The following copy of a let
ter has been received by the
Richmond Hill Methodist
Church, from a group in Viet
Nam for receiving Christmas
Packages from the Richmond
Hill people, a movement that
was started last November by
Mrs. Carolyn Bashlor of the
Richmond Hill Methodist
Church. Read it, we are sure
you will be interested.
Richmond Hill
Methodist Church
Richmond Hill, Ga.
31 December 1965
Dear Reverend and Congrega
tion of Richmond Hill Church,
Let me first introduce my
self. I am Captain Charles F.
Rish, Senior Advisor, stationed
in Long Thanh District, Bien
Hoa Province, South Viet Nam.
Serving with me here is First
Lieutenant Dick Elliott, At
lanta, Ga. Sergeant Prentise
Holmes, St. Louis, Mo., Serge
eant Gerald Nelson, Wisconsin
Rapids, Wis,, and Sergeant
Stanley Matsumoto, Honolulu,
Hawaii. I myself am from
Johnstown, Penns.
On December 18, 19656 we
were the happy recipients of
twenty-one large boxes of pres
ents and foodstuffs from the
Church and students of Rich
mond Hill. May I say that we
are more than grateful and are
pleased to hear of the support
by the people of Richmond Hill.
Since we are only five stationed
in an area with many refugee
people, people without much
and children without fathers or
mothers, or both, we decided
that your gifts would be more
appreciated by these people. So,
after removal of some of the
items, for example, cigars, raz
or blades and some soups, we
distributed the remainder of
the gifts, (gum, candies, nuts,
and soap) to the people around
us. Now I’'m sure that if these
people could write a letter of
thanks either individually or
collectively it would most prob
ably read:
“To the students and people
of Richmond Hill:
We sincerely and most grate
fully thank you for your
thoughtfulness and generosity
during these strifeful times. We
as you -— are a peace loving,
people and we too are sincerely
striving for “peace among
Man.” Again from a very hum
ble and grateful people—we of
Long Thanh thank each and
every one of you very much.”
I might mention here, that
while we were distributing your
tokens of kindness, it was most
heart warming to watch the
children enjoying many for
their first time, candy and nuts
and such.
In most of the boxes were
notes from the students ex
pressing their support for us.
In that there were so many to
answer, I thought perhaps you
could arrange to either gather
the students together or per
haps you could publish in your
local newspaper, our senti
ments, our thanks and those of
the Vietnamese people. Please
find enclosed a picture of our
team.
To all the people of Rich
mond Hill, Georgia, we wish
you a belated Merry Christmas,
a very Happy New Year and
may God Bless you all and keep
you safe.
Respectfully
Charles F. Rish

Bryan CD Unit
.
Joins Hunt For
Lost Boy Scouts
. Members of the Bryan Coun
ty Civil Defense Unit, includ
ing the Pembroke and Rich
mond Hill branches, were called
out early Sunday morning to
search for four Boy Scouts who
were reported lost in the Fort
Stewart reservation near Rice
.Landing.
. The summons to the Pem
broke members was made by
Mrs. Jetta Foxworth, Bryan
'gunty-l’embroke Civil Defense
Director, around midnight, after
a call to her by Porter Dawson,
Savannah, area Civil Defense
Director.
According to reports, the
youths had permission from
their leader to go to the ruins
of an old fort they said was
nearby. When they did not re
turn soon after the designated
‘ time, the leader reported them
- missing. The Scout troop, said
to be from Chatham County,
was on a week-end camping trip
to the Fort Stewart reservation,
their camp site being near Rice
Landing.
The 12-14 year old boys and
a group of searchers met each
other at 8:30 Sunday morning
about one-half mile from the
camp site. The youths said
they had followed instructions
of their leader who had told
them if they got lost to find a
high place before it was too
dark to see and stay there until
the sun came up so they could
get some idea of direction. The
boys and their leader were com
i nded by Howard Riner, who,
with Winton Foxworth, is in
charge of Fire-Rescue,
The four boys were cold and
hungry, but safe,
Assisting in the search were
the Civil Defense organizations
from Pembroke and Richmond
Hill; Fort Stewart rangers and
fish and game wardens. Stand
ing by was a large detachment
of soldiers from Fort Stewart,
ready to scatter throughout the
area if necessary. Helicopters
from Fort Stewart and the
Coast Guard were at the scene
of the search. The Red Cross
set up a coffee stand for the
group of weary men who came
and went throughout the night.
Civil Defense members from |
the Pembroke section who join
ed the search were, besides
Riner and Foxworth, Robert
Quattlebaum, Stanley Elrick, J.
D. Cason, Caldwell Morrison,
James Lewis, and Vernon Mill
er.
The Richmond Hill Civil De
fense branch was headed by
Roland Harrison and included
some 25 men.

Between Richmond Hill & B.C.H.S.
The basketball game Tuesday
night, January 21 between the
Richmond Hill Wildeats and the
Bryan County High School was
a “Rip Snorter” from the word
go. It was hotter “than a de
pot stove,” and it was a “tit
for tat” affair, in both of the
games from the very start.
At all times both the girls
and boys games were in doubt
until the final minute of the
game, and they were pretty well
matched, as the final scores
showed.
The girls game was ‘“too
close for comfort” at times, but
when it was over Bryan County
