Quoting from a survey
conducted for the Falcons
by Frederick Despeaux of
Georgia Tech’s School of In

said that out-of-town Falcon
fans spent more than two
million dollars outside of the
stadium and that residents
of the greater Atlanta area
spent under a half-million
dollars, they would other
wise not have spent, going
to and from the stadium.
Total spent outside the sta

If You Knew Your Need,
Would You Make It Profitable to You?
The light Jesus sheds in the world will lead
them to the fulfillment of Matt. 5:48. "Be
ye therefore perfect, even as your Father in
heaven is perfect. It charts the way to peace
with God, peace with one another, and peace
within themselves. Men who walk in that
light are really wonderful persons, patient,
meek, humble, just, kind, loving, forgiving,
bearing one another's burdens, laying down
their lives for the brethren. If we do not walk
in the light, we reject the way in which he
has chosen to redeem us. Walking in the
light is a course that leads to great sacri
fices. If our right eye offends us, we are to
pluck it out, or if our right hand offends us,
we are to cut it off. Mark 9:45-47. Whoso
ever transgresseth and abideth not in the
doctrine (light) hath not God. He that abid
eth in the doctrine of Christ he hath both the
Father and the Son. 2 John 9. Abiding in the
light leads to eternal life. Men either abide
in Christ, or they do not abide in him. They
are branches of the true vine, or they are not
branches of the true vine. Men are not
branches of the true vine unless they have
the essential nature of the true vine.
Branches of the true vine will manifest it
by laying down their lives for one another,
by not being a light under a bushel, but on
a candlestick to give light to others. They
will be the salt of the earth, not salt that
has lost its savor. They will be fishers of men
as the Bible teaches them to be. Great men
do not live unto themselves, but unto him
who died for them, and rose again. The full
significance of living unto Christ is not un
derstood if we do not understand how all
Christians are one body in Christ. For as the
body is one, and hath many members, and
all the members of that one body, being
many, are one body, so also is Christ. 1 Cor.
12-12 (read through chapter). We must not
contribute to schisme in the body of Christ.
1 Cor. 12:25. We cannot live unto Christ;
separate and apart from living unto those
about us or without seeking to perfect those
about us.

When we consider what men lack, we would
all agree that an understanding mind is high
on the list of things lacking, and needed.
Eph. 4:18 tells us men are alienated from
the life of God through the ignorance that
is in them, because of the blindness of their
hearts. If men choose to remain ignorant
and blind, they may do so, and perish. But
if they choose to gain knowledge, and sight
to their eyes, they are promised, in seeking
they shall find, if they knock it will be
opened, and if they ask they shall receive.
Jesus said, "take my yoke upon you and
learn of me" (How to be meek and lowly of
heart). Again he said, "Every man that hath
learned of the Father cometh unto me" John
6:45. Paul said, Those things which ye have
both learned, and received, and heard, and
seen in me DO, and the God of peace shall
be with you. Phil. 4:9, Men seek, and search,
for away to govern themselves with justice
and equity to all, but they will not yield self
interest, or personal comforts in order to ar
rive at the greatness that is needed. Great
ness by doing the things they have learned,
received, heard, and seen in Christ. Jesus
spoke to the apostles.of the true greatness
in Matt. 20:26-27-28. Whosoever will be
great among you, let him be your minister,
and whosoever will be chief, let him be your
servant, even as the Son of Man came not
to be ministered unto, but to minister, and
to give his life a ransom for many. Christ's
greatness is wide open to all. It is true Chris
tianity, but few are great enough to embrace
it. The outstanding fact is Christ laid down
his life for us, and we ought to lay down our
lives for the brethren. 1 John 3:16. Walking
in Christ's light purifies us, making us a pe
culiar people. Tit. 2:14 -1 Peter'2:9. The
greatest event the world has ever known is
recorded in Matt. 4:16. The people which
sat in darkness saw great light, and to them
which sat in the region and shadow of death,
light is sprung up. Light to dispel man's ig
norance and chart a course for men that will
present them before God without spot, or
wrinkle or any such thing. If they walk in it
