Psalm 26 |
How many men, today, could
cry out unto the Lord in such
a manner as the Psalmist has
done in this psalm? The Psalm
ist felt he had been completely
honest with the Lord. He asked
the Lord to judge him. He
knew that the Lord could look
down into the deep of the heart,
and the heart would be the first
place the Lord would look.
Nothing could make him waver
from his decision. His complete
trust had been placed in the
Lord, and he knew the Lord
could redeem him. At this point
in his life the Psalmist is not
ashamed of anything, for he
felt the Lord had cleansed him
from all of his unrighteousress.
His heart and mind were stayed
on the Lord. He was filled with
love and adoration for the Lord.
He was™ in a high spiritual
mood. This mood seemed to
overwhelm the Psalmist at
times.
There was no pretext with
the Psalmist. He was not be
ing self-righteous. He told the
Lord of his virtues and gave
the Lord the glory for the good
life he was able to live. He
would not lie and neither would
he associate with liars. When
he saw a group gathered to
gether in an idle assembly, he
would not go in and sit with
them. He would not enter into
a place with dissemblers, rab
ble-rousers, or rioters. He
washed his hands in innocency
from any of the activities of
any of these people.
The Psalmist knew his own
feelings and he wanted to be as
near the Lord as possible. He
would go into the house of the
Lord to worship. He would not
be bashful when he went into
the house of the Lord. He would
go to the altar, and praise the
Lord with thanksgiving in a
voice that was loud and clear.
Not only would he praise the
Lord, but he would also tell of
the wondrous works of the
Lord. The Psalmist loved the
Lord, and he liked to feel the
nearness of the Lord. And sure
ly, he could find no place, where
he could be any nearer the
Lord. And surely, he could find
no place, where he could be
any nearer the Lord than in
the Lord’s house.

afety Break
On Labor Day
The Bryan County Jaycees
are to be congratulated on try
ing to save lives over the long
Labor Day week-end by operat
ing a Safety Break at the junc
tion of 280 and 80 at Blitch
ton.
They stopped the weary and
“sleepy” drivers and gave them
a Coca-Cola to refresh them
selves and make them drive saf
er while out on the highway.
It is the interest of others
that help hold down the death
toll on our highways, when so
many get out on the road.
We are proud of our Jaycees.

Still A Patient
-
In The Hospital
The many friends of Mr. C.
-C. Spinks, former Mayor of
Pembroke and business man,
will regret to learn that he suf
fered more injuries in the
wrecking of his car Monday a
week ago down near Midway,
which happened during a down
pour of rain, which blinded Mr.
Spinks and he was endeavoring
to get off the highway on the
right and stop, when he ran
into a large hole of water, and
it is thought that he first turn
ed over on the right side,
then made it to the left side
and turned over again, and
then back to the middle of the
road and turned over the third
time,
Every glass in the car was
broken except the right front
window which was up and un
broken, but the others were
broken out and most of the
glass landed on the inside of
the car. It is hard to see how (
he escaped without serious cuts.
It was thought that he would
be out of the hospital before
now and back in Pembroke, but
two of his ribs were discover
ed to be broken and his lungs
injured. His doctor said that
it would be best for Mr. Spinks
to remain a hospital patient for
a few more days.
His many friends regret his
accident, for he had just re
turned from his honeymoon,
and it is terrible for a newly
wed man to be in the hospital
all bruised and scratched with
broken ribs and lung injuries.
The Editor of The Journal joins
his many other friends in wish
ing for him a safe and early
return to his home here,

Gathering Os The

Starling Family
o ®
Was Big Affair
The annual gathering of the
Starlings, their-in-laws, friends
and relatives which is an annu
al affair at the cross road over
in Bulloch near the home of the
Starling family home was one
of the biggest this year of any
in the past. They were there
from all points.
There was an abundance of
fine food, we know because Ye
Editor and his wife were among
those “outsiders” ' invited and
we enjoyed being with old
friends and making some new
ones.
Despite the threatening
weather that looked at one time
as if it might disrupt their'
meeting, but finally turned out
to be a good day did not seem
to affect the size of the crowd.

VANCOUVER, B.C. () -
On the old theory that a hurled
nonlethal object may be a
form of criticism, Artistic
Director Joy Coghill of Van
couver’s Playhouse Theatre
invited audiences to let the
actors know when they get
bored. ‘‘Adults,” she said in
a speech, “will sit quietly
through a production bored
stiff whereas children will let
you know when they have lost
interest. When you become
bored start throwing things
—then we’ll know.”

us to put in the paper that his
place would close at the end
of the days business on Satur.
day the 6th of September and
would reopen for business at 6
p.m. Wednesday, Septemi)er

He is doing this in order to
take a short vacation for he
and his wife, and give his help
some time off.
He plang on visiting his
mother in Miami, Florida, who
is 87 years old. We are sure
that the public will understand,
and he says that he will try to
reward his friends with a bet
ter service, and better food,
(which we say will be hard to
do), but surely he should take
time out to rest, and last but
by no means least, visit his 87
year old mother, who at the
best he will not have long.

P.T.A. Notice
This is a notice to the par
ents and teachers of Bryan
County Elementary and High
School:
In the very near future you
will have the opportunity of
belonging to the organization
of Parent-Teacher Association,
for the 1967-68 school term.
Do you have any reasons for
becoming an active member “in
the Bryan County PTA?
1. Yes; If you have a child
or children attending school;
and you want to know the con
‘ditions “Pro and Con” regard
ing your child and school.
2. Yes; If you are interested
in learning what vour -child
does and how he a: the five
hours a day while he RWAY
from home.
3. Yes; As a parent or teach
er you are already a part of
PTA. Your recognition through
membership and attendance is
proof that you are fulfilling a
duty.
4. Yes; If you are unaware
of the duties and purpose of a
Parent-Teacher Association and
how it can help your school.
(“The people who are aware
are members”)
Why does the PTA need
members ?
Like any successful organiza
tion, the PTA needs people.
Not just the officers and a
minority of the people interest
ed; but along with the officers
we need a majority of interest
ed parents and teachers to be
active in PTA.
Like any club, business or
organization, the PTA needs
financial support, but it is not
a money-making organization.
It was founded for the purpose
of Creating a Better Way of
Communication and Working
Relationship between parents
and teachers for the benefit of
the students regarding any
schoool activity.,
The creation of a successful
PTA in our school depends up
on the support of each and
every parent and teacher alike.
All creative activity depends
upon the male and female
counterpart working together—
likewise we need med and
women as active members in
our PTA.
Our many thanks and best
regards to you: Join your PTA.

it was raining early in the
morning, but soon cleared up
and the sun began to shine and
the loyal people who like to
gather with their friends and
talk about the “good old days”
were there, some coming from
distant points.
There was an abundance of
good food, and Ye Editor and
his wife were among the invit

being with these good people
“who were scattered to all
points in several states when
they had to give up their home.
We met many old friends and
