The American Telephorie
and Telegraph Company has
announced plans to intro
duce station-to-station call
ing to most European coun
tries which would produce
annual savings totaling an
estimated $4.7 million to
U. S. telephone customers.
K. G. Byers, Southern Bell
District Manager here, said
the plan would enable U. S.
customers to call Europe at
costs 25 to 37 percent lower
than the present sl2 rate
for a three-minute call. The
change is being filed with
the Federal Communica
tions Commission to become
effective February 1.
According to K. G. Byers,
European nations partici
pating in the plan will in
clude Austria, Belgium, Den
mark, France, Ireland,
Netherlands, Norway, Swe
den and the United King
dom.
The new European sta
tion-to-station schedule
provides that a three-minute
call to the United Kingdom
and Ireland would cost $7.40
between 5 am. and 5 p.m.
Monday through Saturday
and $5.70 after 5 p.m. and all
day Sunday.
The station-to-station rate
to participating nations on
the European continent
would be $9.00 for three min
utes between 5 am. and 5
pm. Monday through Satur
day. A reduced rate of $6.75
would apply after 5 pm.
Monday through Saturday
and all day Sunday on calls
to Belgium, Denmark, Neth
erlands, Norway and Swe
den.
The volume of calls be
tween the United States and
these countries more than
doubled between 1960 and
1965, Mr. Byers said.

Berry - Landers
Linda Gayle Landers,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
C. N. Landers of Forest Park,
became the bride of Roland
Andrew Berry, son of Mr.
and Mrs., W. E. Jamieson of
Charleston, South Carolina,
Friday evening, February 3,
at 7 o’clock at the Lake City
Baptist Tabernacle.
The bride was given in
marriage by her father. The
Rev. Kimsey F. Warr offi
if You Knew Your Need,
Would You Make It Profitable to You?
Life teaches us many lessons that are profit
able to us, if we use them for our profit; the
fact that we do not profit from them as we
could, is the great tragedy of life. In going
about, doing our business, or to occupy our
minds and our time, we encounter others en
gaged as we are. When we meditate a mo
ment, what notion do we have whether there
is profit or loss, good or bad, wisdom or folly
in it all? What notion do we have about what
to lay hold on, and what to purge out, how
to avoid the frustrations of life, and to find
peace, and a refuge for our souls? We need
to give enough attention to it to form an
opinion to guide us in our conduct toward
the total situation. We need to decide wheth
er there is something at stake, or nothing at
stake, whether one way is as good as any
other, and if not, to discern the right, and
give a single eye to it. The parable of Matt.
13:44 suggests that there are things hidden
to us, that if once discovered, will bring such
joy to our hearts that we will lay down every
thing, and make the exchange of all that we
have for them. If there are indeed fields con
taining hidden treasure, or pearls of great
price, let us find them, and make ourselves
the possessor of them. Some things are very
clear to us, but this is not one of them. Many
things are very unclear; if we are to gain in
wisdom and understandina, we must give
much thought, do much seeking, and much
exorting of one another—we have the prom
ise that we shall know the truth, and the
truth shall make us free.
The truth is the incomparable treasure. To
a man working very hard, chopping wood,
but making little progress because the edge
of his ax was very blunt, we would all say,
why does he not stop and sharpen his ax;
he could cut more wood in ten minutes than
he can cut in an hour with that dull ax. Such
instances of labor that end in frustration are
many, but the position that we take toward
men’s misdirected labor is generally, just let
them alone; if they know no better, let them
labor.
If we had the compassion and the care that
we should have we would be rendering as
sistance, giving advice, teaching better

It wasn't too hard reaching that precarious perch. It was
just a matter of tuning-out the danger signals . . . turning
off the fears of risk and consequence involved. But now
that you've branched out from the sturdy trunk of your
faith, you're having second thoughts. You're all alone on
a spindly limb that's ready to crack under the weight of
your growing insecurity. For the able help you need to
get back, look around you. You'll find the long arm of
Methodism waiting to give you a hand. And the best time
to take this hand of spiritual rescue is during a VENTURE

ways, supplying any helps that we could,
and exhorting men to give close attention
and diligence to all that they did. We show
whether our concern for men is great or
small by what we do to help them as we all
chop away with blunt tools.
Blunt tools are our greatest reason for ex
horting one another, but we are afraid of
being rebuffed, and keep our thoughts to
ourselves; the loss sustained is incalculable.
The exhorting we do is negligible, and far
short of our duty. There is a lack of light in
the relationship of men with one another, in
their relationship to their jobs, and their en
vironment. Jesus said ‘| am come a light
into the world that ye might not abide in
darkness, but have the light of life.” Again
he said to men "“Ye are the light of the
world,"” he meant men to be examples and
directors of men’s labors to the end that they
might not result in frustration. The message
which we have heard of God is “"He is light
and in him there is no darkness at all.” |
John 1:5,
Jesus was the true light called out of dark
ness into his marvelous light (I Peter 2:9)
that lighteth every man that cometh into the
world. If we say that we have fellowship with
him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do
not the truth. | John 1:6. It is only in God's
light that men can truly have fellowship
with God, and with one another. | John 1:7.
The direction in which men should labor and
strive is set forth in Col. 3:1-2-3. If ye then
be risen with Christ seek those things which
are above where Christ sitteth on the right
hand of God. Set your affections on things
above, not on things on the earth, "For ye
are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in
God.” Mortify therefore your members
which are upon the earth; fornication, un
cleanness, inordinate affection, evil concu
piscence, and coveteousness, which is idol
atry, Col. 3:5. Also to be mortified is impa
tience, seditions, herisies, whisperings, en
vyings, murder, drunkenness, revellings, and
such like. All of these are frustrating to our
real and truest self, making us enemies in
our minds to the order of life wherein the
salvation of men lies.
CARE OF ROSES
Sanitation is the most im

to begin, says Dr, Wiley N.

Then rake and burn the
