Fearless Trust In God
Psalm 27
When an individual is cap
able of approaching the throne
of God as the Psalmist has
done in this psalm, then he is
living in the light of the Lord.
He has something on his heart,
and he knows that God can
help him. He knows that God
is the source of his light, and
without God he could not claim
salvation. The inbeing of his
strength comes from God. With
out God, the Psalmist realizes
that he would be a weak and
a forlorn figure. But, he has
God, and he is strong and with
out fear. No matter what would
arise, he is able to contend
with it, for he abides in the
strength of the Lord.
Many times he has found
himself in precarious situations,
but due to the fact that his
trust was in the Lord, he has
managed to overcome them
without harm. Not only is he
seeking the Lord for strength
here on the earth, but he knows
that God is his hope of eternal
salvation. With God, the Psalm
ist knows he will inherit this
salvation. He will then be able
to behold the beauty of the Lord
and to enquire in his temple.
When the Lord has called upon
the Psalmist to seek Him, the
Psalmist has given himself over
to the privilege of seeking the
Lord.
The Psalmist is in the pro
cess of growing in the maturity
of the Lord. He wants to know
more about the Lord and the
way of the Lord. He knows that
the plain simple path is the
way to the Lord. There are no
complications in being led by
the Lord, if one will only open
up his heart and let the Lord
have His way. But, this is the
complexity of following the
Lord. Man is a selfish, egotis
tical being and he is stubborn
and heardheaded. Man feels
that he is his own master and
the master of his own life. The
Psalmist realizes the foolish
ness of man and that man must
seek the Lord and wait upon
His leadership. The fourteenth
verse should be applied to our
lives today.

Pembroke Mother
Talks With Son
In Vietnam
On Thursday morning at 5:30
a.m. on the 31st of August,
Spec/4 Charles E. Futch sur
prised his family with a tele
phone call from Vietnam. The
call came by radio. His mother,
Mrs. C. K. Futch, answered the
phone.
The radio waves were trans
mitted through the Planet
Mars. Spec/4 Futch talked on
a big radio and wore big ear
phones. It was transmitted to
a satelite and the satelite sent
radio waves to Hawaii then it
was picked up by radio and
transmitted back to Vietnam.
Science, Satelites and Outer
Space is putting things to
gether.
When they were through
with what they were saying
they had to say “ober” so that
the radio could be switched
back for the other one to talk.
Spc/4 Futch reached Vietnam
on December 4, 1966. He is ex
pected to be back in the States

The showing of the slides,
all in color which was made by
Rev. John R. Joyner on his
three weeks tour of the Holy
land and many other countries
of the old world, is truly a
treat for our people that they
should not miss.
The Journal Editor and Mrs.
Miller visited the Joyners Sat
urday night and were shown
some of these pictures, which
by the way was made with the
Journal Editors camera, and
naturally we wanted to see
what luck Rev. Joyner had. We
were amazed at the fine job
that he did, and we were told
that Photocraft in Savannah
pronounced his pictures *as be
ing “wonderful,” and about 93%
were perfect.
In addition we saw pictures
made in France and England
which we had seen, especially
Westminster Abbey in London,
whose foundation was laid in
the year 1000. Tafalgar Square
where we saw a German Zep
pelin tha*l had been downed
on one of their trips over Eng
land in World War I, and Pic
cadilly Circus, as well as Big
Ben the world famous clock, as
well as Buckingham Palace and
other points that we saw when
in London during World War
I, when the Journal Editor was
in the Infantry and getting “a
dollar a day to let a million
men shoot at us.” Yes, it
brought fond memories to us.
But to the average citizen I
am sure that they will enjoy
seeing the scenes of the Holy
Land, Bethlehem, the place
where Jesus was born — Naz
areth the place where he was
brought up. The Jordan River
where He was baptized, the Sea
of Galilee, where He called the
: men to be his disciples—
stillest the empest and walked
on the water—the Mount oT the
Beatitudes, where he delivered
the Sermon on the Mount—the
Garden of Gethemane — where
he prayed until His perspir
ation turne d to blood —
Calvary, where He was cruci
fied—Joseph’s Tomb where He
arose from the dead and the
Mount of Olives, from which He
ascended.
All of these and many other
places of interest to all civiliz
ed people throughout the world.
You can see them, just as a
Georgia Cracker saw them on
his tour of the Holy Land, with
colored slides made by him, see
ing what he saw, and brought
back for all of us to see. Be
sure and attend.
J. C. Ball A
Respected Colored
Man Died Mon.
J. C. Ball, one of Bryans best
known colored citizens died
suddenly Monday night. He
has been ill for a long time,
but was on the streets of Pem
broke on Monday and his death
