If any of these, especially
reading and spelling, are
causing trouble at school in
learning it is possible the
child suffers from a minimal
brain dysfunction. The child
may be suffering a percep
tual and/or conceptional
handicap that interfers with
normal learning, according
to the Association for Chil
dren with Learning Dis
abilities.
These areas of disability in
learning have sometimes
been labeled DYSLEXIA. In
the majority of such cases
the child has average or
above average intelligence or
I.Q. There are approximately
7% to 10% of our children in
classrooms that are so
handicapped. It is known as
the “Invisible Handicap.”
An eminent authority in
one of our neighboring states
has made an extensive study
of this problem and has de
veloped a system of teaching
which includes phonetics,
tracings, physical, and
rhythmic activities and co
ordinations, auditory dis
crimination and visual skills.

REPORTS FROM THE UNITED STATES SENATE |
AMERICAN AGRICULTURE is the marvel of the modern
world. Our farmers, demonstrating a productivity and efficiency
that cannot be matched anywhere in the world, have provided
this country with an abundance of food and fiber that is un
paralleled in history.
Although the United States farmer comprises only about
7 per cent of our population, he currently feeds 200 million
Americans, 60 million people in India, and 100 million others
throughout the world.
Food in America is the best buy in the world, with
Americans spending only about IK per cent of their take-home
pay for food, compared to almost 30 per cent in Great Britain
and a much higher per cent in Communist countries. It is also
noteworthy that for every dollar spent on food in the United
States, the farmer gets only about 39 cents.
* • *
DESPITE HIS COMPETENCE and the important role he
plays in our country, the farmer still does not occupy his proper
place of prominence in the American economy.
Farmers have been caught in a squeeze between rising pro
duction costs and declining farm prices. He is having to pay
more to grow his crops and is not receiving a just return.
We often hear about increases in gross farm income. But
these figures do not accurately reflect the true situation. In
Georgia, for example, average net farm income has increased
only about S3OO in the past two years, and this of course is in
terms of inflated dollars and a higher cost of living. And the net
income of the Georgia farmer last year was SB3 less than the
national average.
It is incomprehensible to me that agriculture, as vital as it
is to our security and well-being, should be relegated to second
class economic status in America. It is no less than shocking that
farmers in increasing numbers are having to flee the land in
order to make a decent living.
* * •
IT IS NOT GENERALLY realized, but consumers also
have a large stake in improving farm income. Unless we strength
en farm prices and make farming the profitable business that
it ought to be, production inevitably will fall sharply and con
sumer prices for food will rise accordingly.

If We Knew Our Need,
Would We Make It Profitable to Us?
NO. 46
We all need to think about the doors that
we open or shut. Divers spirits knock at our
doors; those that are vital to our well-being,
and those that are destructive of our well
being. At the door is where we turn away, or
weicome in those who knock. The door we
open or close is a door no man has ever seen,
but every man is opening and closing it ev
ery day, to his profit, or to his impoverish
ment and bereavement. Jesus said, "Behold,
I stand at the door and knock, if any man
hear my voice, and open the door, I will
come in to him, and sup with him, and he
with me." Rev. 3:20.
If it is true that he knocks, we should be
asking ourselves, have we always respond
ed by opening the door so he could come in?
Many live a lifetime without having closed
the door to the knocking of their carnal na
tures, and opened the door to the knocking
of the Holy Spirit, the door by which we sup
with him, and partake of the Divine Nature,
and are assured of eternal life. These are
matters for every man to be exhorting his
neighbor about. How could Jesus say he
stands at the door and knocks if he was not
there; though his presence is unseen (His
power is present).
Evil powers are not seen, but their power is
also present. The knocking goes on at our
door by those that are seeking a response
from us, be not deceived. If we open to the
Holy Spirit we can have the wonderful ex
perience of supping with him and he with us.
We may never have been taught, or be
lieved, that we could have such an intimate
relationship with him, so swing wide the door
for the entry of the Spirit that gives men a
peace that passeth understanding. Know the
power of his Spirit abiding in you. Because
we are subject to the powers of darkness,
as well as the powers of light, we are warned
to try the spirits, whether they be of God, 1
John 4:1.
This is how we find the need for closing
doors that have never been closed, and of
opening doors that have never truly been
opened to the Holy Spirit. The spiritual
meaning of baptism has to do with the open
ing the door to the Holy Spirit, and closing
the door to our carnal natures. Without the
opening and closing of doors there can be
no new birth, the old persists. The opening

The Kiwanis Club of

brought to the Mountain

they need from reliable gas company
servicemen.
Still, it's true that gas costs less —as
little as one-fourth the cost of other
fuels for some uses. So...come to think
of it, maybe you can't forget that gas
is economical.
and shutting of these doors is a responsibil
ity that is wholly ours. We are the direct
product of the spirits to which we open the
doors. Know ye not that his servants ye are,
unto whom ye yield yourselves servants to
obey, Rom. 6:16.
We lift up the everlasting doors, and the
king of glory shall come in, Psa. 24:7-9.
Leaving the first principles of the doctrine
of Christ, let us go on unto perfection (by
always keeping the door open to the Holy
Spirit), not laying again the foundation of
repentance from dead works, and of faith
towards God, of the doctrine of baptisms,
and of laying on of hands, and of resurrec
tion of the dead, and of eternal judgment
Heb. 6:1-2.
Our spirituality and carnality are too impor
tant to be treated with lukewarmness. Every
man should understand that Jesus is knock
ing on his door every time his judgment tells
him this or that ought to be done. It is not
something to be pushed aside, postponed, or
treated with lukewarmness. The presence of
the Holy Spirit in our lives is not realized by
physical contact. Jesus said, "whosoever
drinketh of the water that I shall give him
shall never thirst; but the water that I shall
give him shall be in him a well of water
springing up into everlasting life. John 4:14.
I am the door (to wisdom and spiritual un
derstanding), by me if any man enter in (he
will be guided in the conduct that is accept
able with God) he shall be saved, and shall
go in and out, and find pasture, John 10:9.
The pasture will be ample for our hearts (ne
plus ultra), joy unspeakable, and full of
glory, 1 Peter 1:8.
Jesus does not guide us from without, but
as a hidden light within us, giving us an un
derstanding that dispells the darkness resi
dent in our carnal natures. I am the light
of the world, he that followeth me shall not
walk in darkness but have the light of life,
John 8:12. Therefore if any man be in Christ
(walk in the light) he is a new creature, old
things are passed away, behold all things
are become new. 2 Cor. 5:17. John the Bap
tist said he was sent to bear witness of the
true light that lighteth every man that com
eth into the world, John 1:9. True light will
shine in us when we open the door and Jesus
comes in and sups with us.
