Saturday was the Jewish Sab
bath, and a new’ day for us. We
had agreed to try' to see in the
one day many of the things we
had missed the day before as
well as the things that were
scheduled for that day.
We agreed to leave at 7:30
A.M. from the hotel. Breakfast
was served early, and we en
joyed It very much. They had
cereal (corn flakes), tuna, fish,
tomatoes, scrambled eggs, oat
meal and all kinds of other
things to go along with the toast,
rods, orange Juice, grapefruit
Juice or tomatoe Juice. The
choice was given of coffee, tea,
or hot chocolate also. I settled
for Juice, oat meal and scramb
led eggs. It was a much wider
selection than we had In Eur
ope. There It was: rolls, Jam,
and a drink of coffee, tea of
chocolate.
Michael, our guide for the day
was pulled out of bed by Mr.
David the Pel tour man at 6A.M.
He was a real nice fellow and
we enjoyed the day very much.
Micheal Is a Hebrew, who goes
to school part of the time and
guides on a part time basis. He
was very Interesting and he
knew the country very well.
Shortly after we headed north
out of Jerusalem we passed
Beth-El. Tills famous spot was
Important in the life of Jacob
as there he saw a vision and
made his covenant with God on
the way to Haran, where he was
to find freedom and fortune.
Beth-El, was prominent In the
history of Samuel the great
Judge of Israel, who was called
of God as a boy.
The construction of the homes
at the outer edge of Jerusalem
fascinated us. Many of them
were lovely stone structures
quite adequate for any part of
the world.

pointed out the road to Emmqus.
It was on this road that Jesus

the day of his resurrection.
They said, "Did not our hearts
burn within us as He opened
unto us the Scriptures along the
way.” Many memories come
back as we think of that mem
orable day.
A stop at Sychar was most
interesting. This has a new
name now, but it Is the Samar
itan City, where Jesus met the
woman at the well. A marve
lous revival broke loose In the
city after their meeting. Some
drank from well as we went
down into the Greek Orthodox
Church that covers Jacob’s
Well.
Our hearts were burdened as
we saw a crippled man begging
Just outside the gate. We longed
for the power of Peter, and John
to say, "Rise and walk”.
History fled past as we drove
on to Tiberias, and then to a
Kibbutz near the sea of Galilee
for lunch. There were two cars
along with us so several of us
alternated from one to the other.
I rode with the guide for a
whlle, but then we would ride
In separate cars so I could ex
plain some of the significant
scenes.
The Sea of Galilee is always
a wonderful sight. We were con
scious of the fact that here Je
sus called His disciples, taught
them, and launched His minis
try. Here He calmed the storm,
and told them that He was the
bread of life.
A visit to Capernaum remin
ded us of His warnings to this
great and majestic city, where
He performed several signifi
cant miracles. "Except ye re
pent, your fate will be worse
than that of Sodom and Gomor
roh.” They failed to repent,
and now they have only the ruins
of a formerly great city'.
We reflected on our own lives,
as we looked at the libraries,
and synagogues. Are we ful
filling the mission to which God
has called us?

Social Security
Young Workers' stake in
social security, among other
topics, is discusses In today’s
column. These questions and
answers are furnished by Wal
ter S. Hendrix, District Mana
ger, Social Security' Adminis
tration In East Point.
Q. How do I know the social
security program will be finan
cially sound when I’m ready
for retirement In about 10
years?
A. Financially, social se
curity Is sound because It Is
assured a continuing Income In
the form of social security con
tributions from people who are
working. The trust funds of
the social security program act
as a guard against sllghtvarla
tlons In tills contribution Income
and the trust funds are in good
financial health. With this as
surance of continuing Income,
the social security program
has no need to have enough
funds on hand at any one time
to pay all future benefits.
Future income will guarantee
future benefits.
Q, I was 18 years old in
May, and I graduated from high
school in June. lam receiv
ing survivor benefits from so
cial security now. lam plan
ning to attend the area com
munity college for 2 years be
ginning in September and then
go on the Die State university.
Will social security Help me?
A. You can continue receiv
ing social security payments
until you are 22 provided you
attend an accredited educational
Institution full time and are
not married. You would qualify
for payments as a full-time stu
dent at either a community col
lege of State university. Be

Response To
Vets Program
Georgia cities and coun-
ties, often hard-pressed to at
tract qualified policemen and
firemen, have shown enthu
siastic response to a new train
ing program for veterans to
fill these public service and
protector positions, State Vet
erans Director Pete Wheeler
said today.
Announced only 2 weeks
ago by the Georgia Depart
ment of Veterans Service, the
new VA training program has
already brought inquiries from
the counties of DeKalb and
Richmond and cities of Deca
tur, Augusta, Savannah,
Athens, Lyons, Brunswick and
Toccoa, among others.
The program is a new facet
of the G1 Bill training pro
gram for veterans with mili
tary service since January 31,
1955, and provides a VA
supplement to the policeman
or fireman trainees of from
SBO.OO to SIOO.OO monthly
above what the city or coun
ty would pay.
Elmer Barfield, State Su
pervisor of Veterans Educa
tion and Training, said police
men would undergo a 13-
month training period under
the program and firemen, a
14-month period. Both groups
would be instructed in duties
common to any police or fire
department.
This is the first time such
a program dealing exclusively
in police and fire protection
training for veterans has been
offered under the GI Bill.
Mr. Wheeler noted that in
most cases, so far, city and
county police and fire depart
ments are meeting the basic
requirements to take advan
tage of the new program.
Cities and counties inter
ested in establishing training
programs for policemen and
firemen should contact Mr.
Barfield or Mr. J.T. Handley
at the Georgia Department of
Veterans Service, State Capi
tol, Atlanta, Georgia.
I I Would Say This I
By DR. L. S, WILLIAMS
I read vary tow modern
novela. Thia is true tor several
reasons. Ono is the foot that
there are too many better books
to use. Thon too, in many
thoro is too much vulgarity
and blasphemy.
Recently Mrs. Williams
chocked out a novel that was
written last year. It is by a
famous British author and it
contains 403 pages. My wife
started the book but it was
so bad she decided not to com
plete it. Since I had not read
one in so long, I decided to
read it.
As the pages were covered,
I found myself wondering just
how many times alcoholic
beverages were referred to and
how many times the characters
engaged in drinking. There
must be more than a thousand
of these references. Drinking
was Included even when it made
no sense at all to the local
circumstances.
Rarely was there a reference
to decency and moral behaviour.
The entire story was centered
around a drunken, immoral,
vicious man. Around him and
In his life was a group of men
and women who had abandoned
personal morality. It is very
difficult tor me to understand
how a man with the intelligence
to write a book of 403 pages
would dare write such filth.
I am also amazed that men
who own printing presses would
allow such words to roll from
the machinery.
In the middle of the book,
I found the philosophy of life
and human conduct. The "hero’’
was talking to a famous cour
tesan In high writing and per
forming circles. She asked
him his views about sex. He
said, "It doesn't matter three
hoots what we do with our
bodies. It’s what we do with
our minds that counts." In
these simple words we find
If We Knew Our Need, Would We
Make It Profitable To Us?
No. #33:69
Make strait paths for your feet, lest
that which is lame be turned out of
the way, but let it rather be healed.
(Heb. 12; 13.) Here is the work that
everyone needs to engage in with their
whole mind, their whole strength, and
their whole soul. There is no work
that is more honorable, more virtuous,
or more forwarding of mans peace,
maturity, and perfection. Where a de
sire to heal that which is lame, and
being turned out of the way, is evident,
and put into practice, it is the power
of God’s Spirit at work. Where there
is no such desire, and practice; men
are among those who are lame and out
of the way, and need to be diligently
exorted to seek God, and to yield to his
holy Spirit until they are filled with all
the fulness of God. ' (Eph. 3:19 & 4:13)
God has given men the power of judg
ment by which they can if they will,
heal themselves of being lame, and out
of the way. “For if we would judge
ourselves, we should not be judged"
(1 Cor. 11:31.) Men are born again;
not of corruptible seed, but of incor
ruptible seed, when they cease from
the self and yield to God’s Spirit as
the monitor of their life. In yielding
to the monitoring of the Spirit the
old corruptible branch which is lame
and out of the way is cut off, and a new
branch grafted in; which is incorruptible.
(Rom. 11:17-24.) Whosoever is born of
God doth not commit sin, for his seed
(graft) remaineth in him, and he can
not sin because he is born of God.
(1 John 3:9.) In this we clearly see the
work of the Lamb of God for taking
away the sins of the world. (John 1;29.)
The branch of the wild olive tree is cut
off, and a good olive tree has been
grafted in; bearing the fruit of the
Spirit, unity, peace, and love. The
corruptible nature of those who are born
of Adam, and represented as wild olive
trees is abundantly and unmistakeably
demonstrated every day and on every
hand. We read of it in the daily news, all
of mans history is a record of it. When
we examine our own conscience, and the
conflicting elements in our nature, we
see it. In all that has gone on, and all
that is going on among men from day
to day, there is overwhelming evidence
of man’s need for a wholly different
nature.
the slant of human thought that
separates the physical self from
the mental person,
If this point of view is ac
cepted and put into practice,
then we are to live like ani
mals and think like saints. This
Is nonsense. It calls tor that
which Is Impossible. The fact
is, man is both body and soul.
They must live and operate
together until death separates
them. What an individual does
with his physical body affects
the mind. The deeds of the
body are dictated mainly by
thought. The Word of God
requires that we keep both mind
and body clean. This Is the
way of health and peace.

IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS, the alleviation of poverty is
impossible without vast improvements in our vocational, educa
tional and job training programs. In short, the best answer to
poverty is gainful employment.
The best, most productive, way to accomplish these goals is
with the aid of the private sector of our economy. My tour last
spring of several job training sites in Georgia demonstrated this
fact, and strengthened my belief in the need for more involvement
on the part of business and industry in this field.
In Atlanta, Dublin, Columbus, Albany, Augusta and Savannah,
I saw working examples of successful job training programs pro
viding highly skilled workers for local industries. In Dublin, for
example, the Georgia Furniture Manufacturing Corp, and the
government combined to provide training and jobs for about 85
unemployed and underemployed persons with no previous ex
perience in this line of work. This is the kind of partnership be
tween government and private industry that we need to encourage
even more.
♦ * *
ANOTHER SPLENDID EXAMPLE of what can be done by
private enterprise is the Firestone Tire and Rubber Plant in
Albany.
Working closely with the nearby area vocational-technical
school, Firestone took men from the field, many of them dis
placed agricultural workers, and trained them. Although their
average educational level was below high school, these people
are now operating highly complex, sophisticated machinery worth
more than $5 million dollars. They take great pride in their
work.
They derive satisfaction that can never be felt in receiving a
monthly relief check. One worker told me that he could never
have gotten a job like this without training, and without a job,
he said he didn't feel he had much of a future. Now he said he
had one and indeed he does. This man already has received one
promotion.
♦ » »
THESE ARE JUST TWO of the many examples of federal
state-local cooperation in the job training field. They are dupli
cated in many other worthwhile projects throughout the State
and the nation.
However, much more can and should be done. With the
proper incentive, private business will become more actively in
volved in job training. An important step in this direction would
be to allow private business and industry a tax credit for some
of the expenses involved in training people, which I am pushing
in the Senate. In the long run, a program such as this would pay
for itself many times over.
Man’s need to be born again, with a
nature that is full of grace and truth,
is met through learning, and enlighten
ment, and yielding our lives in obedi
ence to the law of life in Christ Jesus,
by whom we have been given all things
that pertain unto LIFE, AND GODLINESS,
through the'KNOWLEDGE of him that
hath called us to GLORY AND VIRTUE.
Whereby are given unto us exceeding
great and precious promises: that by
these we might be partakers of the
DIVINE NATURE, having ESCAPED THE
CORR UP TION that is in the world through
LUST. (2 Peter l;3-4.) Therefore if
any man be in Christ he is a new
creature, old things are passed away;
behold, all things are become new. The
old olive tree has been cut off, and the
graft of a good olive tree yields much
fruit to God. Men belong among them
that are of the world, or among them
that are not of the world, and who are
in the world as sheep in the midst of
wolves. (Matt. 10:16.) Paradoxical
as it may seem; the sheep in the world
are God’s power to make sheep out of
the wolves that are in the world, simply
by being sheep, the good Shepherd, and
his sheep are the light that lighteth
every man that cometh into the world.
The salt of the earth, and the leaven
that leaveneth the whole lump with the
Spirit of Truth and life that is in Christ
Jesus. The truth that frees men from
the law in their members that wars
against the law of their mind, and
brings them into captivity to the law
of sin in their members. (Rom. 7:23.)
It is up to men to be doers of the truth,
and not hearers only, to see with their
eyes, and hear with their ears, and yield
their hearts. Whosoever cometh to me,
and heareth my sayings, and doeththem,
I will show you to whom he is like; he
is like a man which built a house, and
digged deep, and laid the foundation on
a rock; and when the flood arose, the
stream beat vehemently upon that house,
and could not shake it; for it was founded
upon a rock. But he that heareth, and
doeth not, is like a man that without
a foundation built a house upon the
earth; against which the stream did
beat vehemently, and immediately it
fell; and the ruin of that house was
great. (Mark 6:47-49.) How solidly
are we building?
