CHARLES GOE Pastor, Ash Street Baptist Church It has been my privilege for several months to chair a committee of the Military Chaplains’ As s o elation wherein we are offering the opportun ity for high school stu dents of Greater At lanta to enter an essay con test with the title "For God and Country.” These rules have been mailed to the high schools of our area and we are hop ing many young people will participate in this program. As we face a complex world, we recognize that ath letics has a marvelous place and all of us enjoy the ath letic events We can see that the military service makes many demands of the lives of individuals; basically in the realm of physical activ ity and mental alertness But it is our deep conviction as military chaplains that young people in our genera tion should be encouraged to use their minds in expres sing themselves This essay contest makes possible such expression. We hope that all of the young people of our area will take advantage of this and give themselves to thinking through creatively the opportunity that is theirs to participate in such an event. 1 am sure the deep expres sions that come from our young people today will be a vital challenge to the adults as well. It was my privilege to speak last week to the Opti mist Club of Forest Park We congratulate them on the splendid work they are do ing and the very name of the club itself is a motivation for others to realize their place and responsibility in the community I was inter ested in looking up several definitions of an optimist An optimist is one who. even when treed by a bear, stops to admire the landscape; an optimist is one who, when he buys a box of strawber ries. looks for the big ones BUSINESS DIRECTORY GIBSON'S Bookkeeping and Tax Service No account too small or too large to handle. 366-2112 For Fast Results ...

We chal lenged the men with a three fold program of life as we interpreted from the experi ence of Gideon who felt the need of the Lord in a special way First, he called for vol unteers. This is the type of men that we need in our world today. Gideon elimi nated from the army of the Lord all those who did not volunteer Second, he called for valiant men, men willing Io drink from water from their hands in order to keep alerted regarding the enemy. It was not enough to bury their heads in the rivers or in the creeks in order to drink. God eliminated a great throng of soldiers then also. Rev. Rogers Takes Florida Pulpit Rev. Clint E.

These were the men that followed the com mands of God; they were armed with pitchers, torches and trumpets. It would have been easy to have laid down these weapons and have tak en up something else, but this was the command of God. As they went, they went victoriously and the army of the Midianites was de feated. What is it that God is say ing to us in our world as we go out using our brain pow er to think creatively, and then dedicating our hands and talents unto the Lord?

Think twice if you think our previous description of starving multitudes has been exaggerated. To the contrary, the starvation is worse than any vocabulary can describe. Too weak to weep, with understandable melan choly in agonizing slow-moving daylight hours, home less and deserted in lonely nights, these pitiful prayer less people await the certainty of death as a relief. Every day, they see loved ones faint. They see glazed eyes, bloated stomachs. They see falling hair, shriv eled skin and finally the fate of death; a fate they know they too must face. It is not a pretty picture But it is a factual picture. Mahatma Gandhi once called it, "The Eternal Compulsory Fast." These starving people gladly grab a bowl of rice for a meal —when they can get it. They thankfully accept a tiny piece of fish to please the palate as a change in diet — when they can get it. Exaggerated? No, not when 10.000 people starve to death EVERY day.
