Dr. Watson Lake City
Guest Evangelist
Dr. W. T. Watson, president
and founder of Trinity College
of Dunedin, Fla., will be the
guest evangelist at the Lake
City Baptist Tabernacle for a
week’s revival, starting Sunday,
Nov. 3rd through Nov. 10th. A
native of Lumberton, N. C.,
Dr. Watson graduated from
Toccoa Falls Institute, Toccoa,
Ga., and Nyack Missionary Col
lege, Nyack, N. Y. He holds an
honorary degree of Doctor of
Divinity from Asbury rheolog
ical Seminary.
In 1932, while serving as a
pastor in St. Petersburg, Fla.,
Dr. Watson founded Trinity
College and has served as presi
dent of the school where Billy
Graham received his Bible
training, graduating in 1940.
T hrough the years Trinity Col
lege has placed special em
phasis on personal and mass
evangelism. In the early days of
the college Dr Watson brought
there the world’s greatest re
ligious and evangelistic leaders,
among which were Billy Sun
day, Gypsy Smith, Dr. R. A.
Parker Rotary Speaker
Mr. William A. Parker of
Atlanta’s Beck and Gregg Hard
ware Company addressed the
Rotary Club of f orest Park on
Wednesday, Oct. 23, in the
Community Room of the Citi
zens Bank of Clayton County.
Mr. Parker viewed with
alarm our contemporary
society which is more con
cerned with the pervert, the
criminal, the habitual loser and
other malcontents and misfits
than it is with the successful
man, the achiever and the
over-achiever.
Mr. Parker during his talk
also said that the surest way to
fail is to employ neglect in the
process. Wives, husbands, chil
dren, churches, and jobs be
come associated with the
mediocre as a result of neglect.
Too many of us are trying to
be of a common mold and are
without the guts it takes to
take a stand on what one really
believes is right.
Mr. Parker posed the ques
tion: What can we do to re
verse the unwholesome trends
we see taking place today? He
tehn answered his question by
saying that we can stop seeing
filthy movies and reading
trashy books; we can develop a
sincere sense of personal re-

H. C. Morrison, Homer
Rodeheaver and others.
In addition to serving as a
pastor and Christian educator,
Dr. Watson has conducted re
vival crusades in many states
and Canada and has, also, been
featured in many leading Bible
conferences. Because of his
work in Puerto Rico, the of
ficials of the City of San Juan
recently made him “An
Adopted Son of San Juan” at
an impressive ceremony.
He and Mrs. Watson, the
former Lucy Roberts of
Greensboro, N. C., have one
son who is a Southern Baptist
pastor in Georgia.
Services for the week are
scheduled at 10 o’clock for the
morning and 7:30 in the eve
ning. Bobby Jean White, wide
ly known gospel singer, will be
featured in special numbers the
latter part of the week.
A cordial invitation is ex
tended to everyone to attend
these services.
sponsibility; we can realize that
more people will follow our
footsteps than will follow our
advice; we can recognize the
need for self reliance and re
kindle the proper pride of
country; we can bring all pres
sures we have at our disposal to
plug up the loopholes of the
law by which the criminal
thrives; we can use everyday
acts of courtesy in our daily
living pattern (how often is a
policeman thanked for his hav
ing done well a thankless job);
we can put prayer back into
our daily lives and we can de

DOG SNIFFS MARIJUANA

I Would Say This
My newspaper reading in
cludes advice columns, death
notices, crime stones, comic
strips, sports, wedding
announce
ments, some
for sale adver
tisements and
medical infor
mation. From
the latter, I do
not make any
self-diagnosis
of myself. My
doctor fills
that place for
me.
On a small fragment of a
health column, I have these
words: “Neurologists tell us
there is a little place in the
brain, which, when it is work
ing well, enables us to see our
selves as we really are. If that
little part of the brain is de
stroyed by a little stroke, we
cannot see we are ill, and we
cannot see that we are dirty
and badly dressed.”
Have you used these words
about some people who have
irritated or annoyed you? “If
he (she) could just see himself
like he is.” For a long time I
have felt this wish. This was
especially tme in my earlier
years before all sorts of
theories were created to
explain and excuse stupid or
eccentric behaviour. If the
above quotation is reliable and
I suppose that it is, perhaps we
have been too harsh in a lot of
our reactions and judgments.
The part that bothers me
about problems in this area of
life is this: Those individuals
who can see so much about the
lives of others are blind to their
own deeds and faults. Along
with this slanted judgment
against others, they seem to
have an infallible authority.
One day it was necessary for
me to drive across the state
where we lived. A college
student made the trip with me.
I had just bought a new car. As
we cruised along, he asked,
“Do you know what is wrong
with this make car?” 1 was not
qualified to produce a list of
faults. Without delay he pro
vided this for me. Had I lis-

tened to him we would have
parked to avoid a disaster like
the total disintegration of the
car. After listening, I asked
him, “Have you ever owned
one of these cars?” He had not.
“Those of us who own them
like 'em,” 1 said.
I have the conviction that a
lot of these people who may
have sustained some kind of
injury which has befogged their
judgments and viewpoints are
capable of seeing more of
themselves if they want to do
so.

THE WEEK'S LETTER:
"Please help me. I am 15,going
on 16, I fell for a boy in my
class last school term and he
liked me. One night we went to
a game together and we stayed
outside the first half of the
game. The kids all kidded him
about it, saying we . . . (did
something wrong) . . . which
we did not. After a while, the
boy stopped speaking to me.
1 heard people say he likes me
but 1 don’t know whether it’s
true or not. Then school was
over and he took a trip to
another state. I wrote to him
twice. The first letter was just
friendly. The second showed
my true feelings for him. He
didn’t reply to either letter.
What should I do? Should I
forget him or find out if he
