“Lost"
By REV. ROBERT D. MOSELEY, Pastor
First Baptist Church
Pembroke, Georgia
Not long ago, I used this il !
lustration. Someone was lost ;
a young boy had strayed away ;
He had entered into the swamp
and had not returned home
People were asked to search fol
the lost boy. Men and women
responded to the request for the
boy's life was in danger.
This could happen anywhere
even here in Pembroke. 1 wouk
dare say the adults would turr
out in force to help search for
a person who was lost in the!
swamps around here. The peo-l
pie would brave hot or coldj
weather. They would remain!
faithful to the task even during
a drenching downpour. The
people would not let the snake
or mosquito infested swamps
deter them. They would con
tinue to search until all of their
physical resources were ex
hausted. They would go beyond
the limit of endurance. The
search would continue until the
lost person was found.
In the fifteenth chapter of
the Gospel according to Luke,
we find the parables of the
Lost Sheep, the Lost Piece of
Silver, and the Prodigal Son.
“What man of you, having a
hundred sheep, and having lost
one of them, doth not leave the
ninety apd nine in the wilder
ness, and go after that which
is lost, until he find it?”
“Or what woman having ten
pieces of silver, if she lose one
piece, doth not light a lamp,
and sweep the house, and seek
diligently until she find it?”
“But the father said to his
servants, Bring forth quickly
the best robe, and put it on
him; and put a ring on his
hand, and shoes on his feet and
bring the fatted calf, and kill
The Lane's Go
To See Son In
Walter Reed
While it was a sad occasion,
still it was a happy one for Mr.
and Mrs. C. W. Lane, Sr., when
they got aboard the Atlantic
Coast Line Streamliner The
Champion on Saturday night
for a trip to Washington to see
their son Charles W. Lane, Jr.,
who lost a leg and suffered leg
injury in Viet Nam and had
been flown from Viet Nam to
Washington so that he could
finest and best in the world. It
is the one that our Presidents
be treated at Walter Reed Hos
pital, which we consider the
go to when they need attention,
so it must be good.
Friends in Pembroke and sur
rounding territory had provided
a Love Offering for the Lane’s
in their hour of trouble, and
this was used for the trip. This
Love Offering was first sug
gested by W. L. Humphries,
who made a generous gift, and
it was the privilege of the
Mayor of having had a small
part in the getting together of
this offering, which was great,
and it renewed our faith and
confidence in the good people
of Pembroke, for never have
they missed doing the right
thing at the right time. Yes,
we live among the best people
in all the world, people who
will "fuss and quarrel when
things are running smooth, but
when trouble comes, all of that
is forgotten and they open their j
purse and their hearts to every-।
one in their hour of trouble. I
It’s great to live in a little ’
town like that, and much great-;
er to be honored with being
their Mayor. We consider that
one of the biggest things we ‘
have to offset our "shortage of ,
the worlds goods,” friends, and
being able to live with the fin- '
est and best people in all the
world. That’s Pembroke.

and Mrs. Charles Morgan of
Tampa, Fla. has been spending

: it. and let us eat, and make
merry: for this my son was
1 dead, and is alive again; he was
lost, and is found.”
We see how diligent the
search was for the lost sheep
and for the lost piece of silver.
We see the exceeding rejoicing
when the lost son r e t u r n e d
home. Each of these parables
has a lesson for us. The first
two parables show that an ex
tensive search was made for
। both the lost sheep and the lost
I piece of silver. There was no
I search, at all, made for the lost
son.
Is not this very much like
the Christian people of today ?
We think of the material things
before we think of the spiritual
things of life. We would go to
the limit in a physical search
for lost possessions or for one
who was lost in the swamp, and
his life was in danger.
Friends, I am not speaking to
the Baptists in our city only,
but I am asking all Christians,
(those who name the name of
Christ as Saviour), to do some
thing. People are spiritually
lost in the swamps of sin right
here in Pembroke. I am asking
you in the name of Jesus to
find these people who are lost.
Join the Christian Search
Party. Find those who are lost.
Lead them to Jesus.
Friends, each of us would go
until we were physically ex
hausted to find some p e r s o n
who was lost in the swamps
around our city. But, we have
not lifted a finger to help in
Jesus’ search for those who are
lost in the swamps of sin.
Which is more important, phy
sical life or eternal life ?

Mayor Miller In
Report To The
Citizens Os City
So many of our people are
interested in what is happen
-1 ing, and many are asking the
Mayor questions about Sewer
age, housing and the hundred
and one other things that con
front a little city like Pem
broke. But for various reasons,
and mostly because we have to
keep most of everything we
know “secret” until it is at last
released from the proper
sources, or else we might jeop
ardize a program which we
want very much and need.
But without divulging any
thing that should not be told,
we can tell the good people of
Pembroke, we are going to get
sewerage for our little city, we
promise not to let our term of
office go by and not have made
a start at this important item.
We are going to have some
low rent housing which will
eliminate some of the slums we
have and put people to living
in decent homes, and will add to
the looks of our city. This is a
fact, and for the time this is
all we can tell you, but we are
going to have housing we are
sure being built in Pembroke
before the turn of the year.
The City of Pembroke has a
nice little nest egg, which will
be used for sidewalks, curb and
gutter, and helping in getting
the streets paved, this money
is in a special account and we
have a large amount of it loan
ed to the Pembroke State Bank
on time deposit drawing inter
est, until we get together suf
ficient money to do a real job,
which will be before the pres
ent Mayor goes out of office.
We are paying the old debts
as fast as possible, and have
paid each and every dollar of
new debts that we have made.
The City has ordered the high
powered Vapor Lights installed
• on State Route 67 from the
-City limits out beyond the fac
tory, on through the City and
down to the cross roads at the
Shelley Shuman home. We ord
ered the lights on Strickland
Street from the Main Street to
where it intersects with 67 to
, have the new Vapor Lights, and
soon this program will be un
derway, and will cost the Geor
gia Power Company thousands
of dollars.
We rebuilt the little Jeep and
have it o per at i n g with the
“skeeter spraying outfit,” which
is in charge of Robert Quattle
baum.
We changed the city trash
truck over to a more modern
and better truck, a GMC, made
whatever repairs was necessary
and it is operating and we think
doing a fine job.
We have increased the pay
of our Policeman, and feel that
today Pembroke has the best
set up of any little City in all
Georgia.
For less than twelve months,
we can’t help but believe that
we have made more progress
so far than any one has ever
made in that time.
Uncle George
Spinks On The
Mend Finally
We are glad to be able to
report that Mr. George Spinks,
one of Pembrokes best citizens,
who has been in ill health and
is now on his second trip to the
hospital, and again has under
gone surgery, but according to
reports they have at last re
■ moved his troubles, and it is
■ felt now that Uncle George will
। be back looking like a new “sil
. ver dollar”, and be with his
. friends here and enjoying life
again, which will be a great
change for him.
Ye Editor considers George
T. Spinks one of our very best
citizens, and we are proud to
have him down as one of our
“bestest friends." Yes, we just
wish that we had many more
like George T. Spinks living
with us in our little city.

REV. MICHAEL GUIDO
Lawrence Revival
One of America’s most belov
ed evangelist and radio speak
[ ers, Michael A. Guido, of Met
ter, Georgia, will conduct a re
vival at the Lawrence Baptist
Church, on August 21 through
August 26, at 8:00 p.m.
Now on over 100 stations in
this country and around the
world, the Guido Evangelistic
Association, of which Michael
Guido is founder and president,
is producing over 100 programs
every week.
Their program, called THE
SOWER, described by me sta
tion manager, “The highest
quality program of its nature
that we have ever broadcast,”
is heard on WSAV, Monday
through Saturday, at 5:30 a.m.
More than 1200 persons
gathered in Metter when the
Guilos’ new Welch Memorial
Studio was dedicated. They
heard Sen. Herman E. Tal
madge of Georgia declart,
“Since I first heard the story
of Michael Guido, I have had
a new understanding of the
power of faith. Through the
facilities of the Welch Mem
orial Studio, the sermons of
Michael Guido will reach the 1
ears of millions.”
A former dance band leader,
"Mike” Guido was a popular
evangelist with the Moody Bibi ■
I Institute of Chicago for a num
j mer of years. He believes that
j the strength of America lies in
j the spiritual life of our people.
His challenge is that we must
be made impregnable to Com
munism, crime and warfare by
turning to God and His Word.
Typical of commendentary
news coverage which has fol
lowed the Rev. Mr. Guido was
the front page story appearing
in THE ORANGE (Texas)
LEADER, accompanied by a
two-column picture: “The same
sparkling personality which
made his orchestra a hit made
Michael Guido a success as a
speaker. He has showmanship:
ihe has the knack and rare
। ability of evaluating his aud
j ience so that his message will
be delivered in away which
' will most appeal to that parti
cular crowd.
“Two things are immediately
; evident when talking to Mik*
' Guido,” the article continue®, ,
"his keen joy in his chosen work ,
■ and his deep faith in the God :
i he worships.”
, Unlike most preachers, whose- '
' gospel work is confined to well
defined limits, Michael Guido'
. unusual ministry takes him in
to universities, high schools, '
clubs and churches of praeti

DIABETES TESTS
START FRIDAY AT
RICHMOND HILL
Beginning Friday, August
19th the health center at Rich
mond Hill will offer diabetes
screening tests between the
hours of 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. on
the third Friday of every
month.
The free test is a simple,
painless, finger prick taking
only one minute with complete
results in five minutes. The
clinic will not diagnose diabetes
but if you have a positive test,
you will be asked to go to your
own family doctor for more
test and treatment if neces
sary.
Some of the symptoms of dia
betes are sudden weight loss,
constant thirst, excessive eat
ing, frequent urination, tiring
easily, slow healing wounds and
changes in vision.
It is important that each per
son being tested eat a normal
meal two hours before coming
to the health center to receive
the test. This will increase the
accuracy of the test.
AI! persons over thirty years
having diabetic relatives are
of age, overweight and those
urged to take advantage of this
test.
