Brenda, a 1968 graduate of Jonesboro Senior High School, and Carol, a 1968 graduate of Forest Park Senior High School, entered Piedmont in September Forest Park Socials What with the flu and a general slowing down of social events, we’ve decided a change of pace might be in order. Some people have car trouble and never can get someone to stop-but try to just walk home for exercise one day. Mitt Gunter had a time convincing people he was "just walking” home for the exercise. Hats off to some twenty mothers of Huie Elementary School PTA who have just finished a Red Cross nursing course. These busy mothers are training to work in their school clinic. Sounds like a great idea! Speaking of busy mothers. I’ve just heard about the great work that some are doing each week when they spend a few hours with students who need extra help with their studies. These mothers give that extra boost as well as a chance to succeed that these children ordinarily would not have. Can’t decide what to do with your Christmas cards? Don’t throw them away put them to good use. lhe Girls Auxiliary of First Baptist Church of Forest Park can use them to make tray cards for hospitals.

What with Coach Doug Cobb and his talented Forest Park Panthers Basketball team having won 15 straight and undefeated at this writing and the football team, coached by Carl Madison having won 36 out of 37 events, I’ll bet Princi pal Kirkland is the happiest man around to say nothing of all the sports fans who sup ported the teams so well.

No. 5 ■ 69 There is no doubting that men can be of untold service to their fellow men. Equally, there is no doubting that they are failing to reap the rewards which are to be reaped from such a service. While this is generally accepted, and acknowledged by men as true, why do they not profit from it? The answer is "the heart of man is deceitful above all things (selfish) and desperately wicked, and leads us astray (Jer. 17:9). If we know the truth, that service can be per formed, yet something within us hinders our doing it, that something is alienating us from God, and the life that God intends for us. It needs to be overcome. The trouble is that the carnal mind is enmity against God, for it is not subject to the law of God, neith er indeed can be (Rom. 8:7). There is away to break the bonds and free one's self from captivity to the law of sin which is in our members, it is to crucify the flesh with the affections and lusts (Gal. 5:24), keeping the body under and bringing it into subjection (1 Cor. 9:27). Failing to rule our own spirits, we become the captive of the law of sin which is in our members (Rom. 7:23). The law of sin is responsible for us com ing short of the glory of God. God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil contin ually (they were not living peacefully and helpfully together) and it repented the Lord that he had made man upon the earth, and it grieved him at his heart (Gen. 6:5-6). This was, and is, a prevailing condition among men. Man's perverted nature, his ignorance and blindness of heart keeps him from ful filling God's law, and alienates him from the life of God (Eph. 4:18). My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord (Isa. 65:8). If man's thoughts and judgments are gotten from the Bible, their thoughts will be God's thoughts, and their judgments will be God's judgments and their ways his ways. God's ways lead men to be at peace with one another, and the servants of one another. Not the slaves of one another, but truly the servants to one another. Whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free, we have all been made to drink into one 511 PEGG ROAD Bitter - Davis Capt. and Mrs. William C.

Something Borrowed: "lhe trouble with the future is that it usually arrives before we’re ready for it."

Spirit (1 Cor. 12:13). Now are there many members, yet but one body. And the eye can not say unto the hand, I have no need of thee, nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you (1 Cor. 12:21). God created men to be dependent upon one another, and to be a body without schisms, whether one member suffer, all the mem bers suffer with it, or one member be hon ored, all the members rejoice with it (1 Cor. 12:26). God has ordained that the greatest of man are to be the servant of all (Matt. 23:1 1). No man can be great and find his fulfillment except through service rendered to his fellow man. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man should lay down his life for his friends (John 15:13). Jesus' prayer for men was that they all may be one, as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also might be one in us, and that the world may believe that thou hast sent me (John 17:21). There is no true cri terion to prove that God is leading us, and that we are following and are truly mem bers of the body of Christ except the spirit which God gives to men (1 Cor. 12:27). He that hath the Son hath life; he that hath not the Son of God hath not life (1 John 5:12). Whosoever transgresseth and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ he hath both the Father and the son (2 John 9). Whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple (Luke 14:33). Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God, and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God (1 John 4:7). He that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting (Gal. 6:8). These statements need no interpreter. They are explicit and unconditional; no ifs, ands or buts, and men need to keep them con stantly in mind. The conditional statements in God's word are to be interpreted, and our life is to be lived in the light of the uncon ditional statements. For example, salvation by faith is conditional for 1 Cor. 13:2 tells us that if we had all faith so that we could remove mountains, and have not love, it is nothing. ATLANTA, GA. 30315 Notes on Chiropractic By DR. HENRY L. FOLEY What is the basic cause of illness? Sometimes it is care lessness, dissipation, overwork, work or possibly environment. iThe re are many contri buting factors but one basic cause stands ' I out above all the rest. Nerve interference, a I d i s t u r bance between the nervous ' 1 system and the organs of your body. Nerves branch outward from the spinal cord to supply all glands, organs, muscles and tissues of the body as tele phone cables radiate from a central office into many units that supply the homes of a city. The spine encases the spinal cord and becomes the key to the nervous system and there fore, the key to the health of the body. Nerve interference lowers resistance to disease and dis turbs body function, resulting in such symptoms as pain, headache, nervousness, indiges tion and faulty elimination. Skillful adjustments by a competent Chiropractor cor rects spinal displacements that cause nerve interference. Health and a more abundant life results.
