ROAD SAFETY
MAY BE AIDED
BY SUNGLASSES
Greater dangers lurk on the
highways of Georgia now that
Summer wltli Its fair and longer
days Is at Its peak. A combi
nation of heavier traffic and
demon glare may spell trouble
for you.
It Is not possible to do any
thing about the crowded high
ways and byways right away;
however, you can do something
about glare. Get a good pair
of sunglasses and wear them.
The Georgia Optometric As
sociation offers the following
tips;
(1) If you require prescrip
tion lenses ordinarily, have
your sunglasses ground to pre
scription;
(2) Never wear sunglasses
at night — they reduce total
vision;
(3) Make sure your vision is
up to par by having a profes
sional examination every two

TREE TALK
BY R. A. MASON
When cotton was king the
land was cleared for “New
Ground” as fast as men could
fell the trees. Roughly half a
century of cultivation followed
until all but the rockiest and
steepest land was put to the
plow. Farmsteads speckled the
land, cross-road communities
with picturesque names budded
Into being, and share cropping
became away of life. Wars
surged and ebbed through the
lives of Georgians. The econo
my became diversified, me
chanization displaced the
sharecropper, the peaked-roof
farm houses bowed into ex
tinction. Only the “yard trees”
remained to tell passers-by that
once tire forest had been field.
Or warn the Georgia Forestry’
Commission’s timber cruisers
of the sudden, silent, death that
lies there. The farmsteads are
suburbs now and the victims
are no longer the solitary for-

If We Knew Our Need, Would We
Make It Profitable To Us?
No. 31:69
He are all in the same boat, of one
basic nature, and all have one basic
need. He are all the seed of Adam,
and the prospect we fact is, “in Adam
we all die." (1C0r.15:22.) Such an
end for man is not of God. It is not
irrevocable. If ive choose to seek
God, he will be found, he is not far
from any one of us, and not willing
that any one should perish. However
if we are to escape the judgment of
death pronounced on Adam, we must
crucify the Adamic nature that is in
us. In Adam all men die, but God
ordained a second Adam through whom
all men are made alive. (ICor. 15:42-49.)
“But ye are not in the flesh (Adam)
but in the Spirit (second Adam) if so
be that the Spirit of God dwell in you."
(Hom. 8:9.) “Born again, not of cor
ruptible seed, but of incorruptible.’’
(ipeter 1:23.) /4s the seed of Adam,
we are subject to being corrupted, but
when born of incorruptible seed there
is nothing in us to cause sin. Who
soever is born of God doth not commit
sin; for his seed remaineth in him;
and he cannot sin, because he is born
of God. (Uohn 3:9.) Because of the
sin in the Adamic nature, the man
“who lives his life in this manner shall
lose it, but whosoever shall lose his
life for my sake and the gospel's, the
same shall save it.’’ (Mark 8:35.)
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except
ye eat the flesh of the Son of man,
and drink his blood, ye have no Christ
life in you. (John 6:53.) The order
of life that is of the Adamic nature
must be lost, in order to have the life
that is of Christ; the second Adam.
Because of our experience in mortifying
the Adamic nature which doth so easily
beset us, we are prone to faint, arid
become discouraged of ever being able
to overcome it, but until we do, our
hope, if we have hope, rests on some
thing less than total committment. We
need to consider, and remember, that
the conflict between flesh and Spirit
is total, and to the death, one way or
the other, and that man’s tendency to
coast is fatal. What life meant to
Paul, and the meaning he wished to
bring others to give to it, is set forth
in his words to men. What things were
gain to me, those I counted loss for
Christ. I count all things loss for the
excellency of the knowledge of Christ
Jesus my Lord: for whom I have
suffered the loss of all things, and do

ester, hunter, or rock collector.
Children are the prey now.
Youngsters too small or Inno
cent to understand the magical
disappearance of a playmate
who had been but a step away.
The shock of realization is
buffered by senses jaded with
TV’s optical illusions; often to
the point that the survivor can
not even recall when his com
panion vanished. What Is this
soundless, Implacable killer?
Merely a hold in the ground.
Assuming the victim is con
scious and capable of moving
the sheer crumbling walls defy
all attempts to scramble out,
deaf to tearful pleas for pity.
Often the victim is stunned or
paralyzed - conscious only that
death lurks near. Rank weeds,
vines, or undergrowth mask the
opening and stifle all sound.
Searchers will see or hear
nothing. Perhaps some rotting
boards, crumbled timbers, an
odd brick, stone, or heap of
trash. Maybe a thicket of
wild plum, honeysuckle, or
berry vines. A rose bush or
wisteria vine gone wild. These
are the warnings to the wary,
the headstones of the unlucky or
heedless.
Most of the pitfalls are man
made though occasionally a
geological fluke will produce
fissured rock that time dis
guises with dead limbs, leaves,
and plants. Old wells are the
most numerous killers. Mines
and quarries usually cripple,
drown, or starve their victims.
Root cellars, cesspools, and re
servoirs collapse, crushing or
smothering, but leave a
“slump” in the ground for an
epltath. None, not one, goes
hunting its prey. All can be
avoided. You need tell the
children only one thing. They
must never forget it: Be sure
you see the ground before you
step.
DRUG ABUSE AND NARCOTIC addiction constitute a grow
ing national problem that we can ill afford to minimize or ignore.
The menace is particularly acute in the ranks of American youth.
In a recent message to the Congress, the President said drug
abuse in the past 10 years has "grown from essentially a local
police problem into a serious national threat to the personal health
and safety of millions of Americans." He has proposed a 10-point
program, covering federal and state legislation, international con
trols. stricter criminal enforcement, rehabilitation, and education,
to combat the drug threat.
As this problem has seriously worsened in recent years, public
concern has mounted and congressional action, combined with in
creased state and local efforts, become more and more imperative.
THE NATION'S INCREASING crime rate, staggering juvenile
delinquency, and even a large part of the campus disorder and
rioting can to a great extent be directly traced to the abuse of
drugs, such as "pep pills." marijuana, hallucinatory agents and the
hard narcotics.
In just the past seven years, arrests of juveniles involving the
use of drugs have risen by almost SOO per cent. Half the people
arrested for the illegal use of narcotics are under 21 years of age
In New York City and other large metropolitan areas, narcotic
addiction grows by the thousands each year. The crime rate and
immoral conduct go up accordingly.
We can only estimate the fantastic number of narcotic addicts
in the United States, but it is thought to go into the hundreds of
thousands. It is also figured that several million college students
have at least experimented with drugs.
This is a shocking situation. It is continually growing worse, at
greater cost to the health of the nation and to law and order. As
the President pointed out. this is no longer just a local law en
forcement problem. It is a serious threat to the general well-being
of this nation.
* * »
THE COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM proposed by the Admin
istration merits the attention of the Congress. It is hoped that
through stricter enforcement, improved rehabilitative measures,
and expanded education on its dangers, the drug problem can be
curbed.

count them but dung, that I may win
Christ, and be found in him, not having
mine oivn righteousness, which is of
the law, but that which is through the
faith of Christ, that I may know him,
and the power of his resurection, and
the fellowship of his suffering. BEING
MADE CONFORMABLE TO HIS DEATH:
IF BY ANY MEANS I MIGHT ATTAIN
INTO THE RESURECTION OF THE
DEAD. Not as though I had already
attained, either were already perfect;
but I follow after, if that I may appre
hend that for which I also am appre
hended of Christ Jesus. I count not
myself to have apprehended but this
one thing I do, forgetting those things
which are behind, and reaching forth
unto those things which are before,
I press tozvard the mark for the prize
of the high calling of God in Christ
Jesus." (Phil. 3:7-14.) The little
things of life did not impress him and
every man should so run not as un
certainly, so fight not as one that beat
eth the air, but keep the body under
and bring it into subjection to the se
cond Adam, which is Christ. (ICor.
9:26-27.) Putting off the old Adam is
to put him off, and putting the second
Adam is to put him on. It is a matter
that is not done by half measures,
neither is it done once for all. It
is a recurring matter to be repeated
day by day as long as life lasts. Each
day we are to mortify the deeds of the
body through the Spirit (Rom. 8:13) and
bear fruit, not of corruptible seed, but
of incorruptible. Religion fails com
pletely if the deeds of the body are
not mortified. This is why, to many,
religion is empty talk. They see the
religious person spending tivo or three
hours a week attending church, but
nothing practical, and as much of the
old Adam in those who profess re
ligion, as in those who do not. They
hear about being born again, but can
have no faith in it because of the lack
of evidence of it in those that claim
it. If there is a new birth, a new
creature is the evidence of it. Re
ligion is indeed empty talk if the seed
of the old Adam does not wither away,
and the seeds of the new Adam flourish
and produce fruit. Submit yourselves
therefore to God, Resist the Devil,
and he will flee from you. (James 4:7.)
Ye have not yet resisted unto blood,
striving against sin. (Heb. 12:4.)
