.STATE CAPITOL
i
By Sid Williams
The House passed last Wednesday
by a vote of 112 to 71 a 3% sales
tax bill. Under a resolution by
Repr. Byrd of Taylor, the act was
limited to a period of 6 years. Un
der provisions of the bill, tokens
would not be used; goods costing
9 cents and under would go tax
free; gods retailing between 10 and
30 cents would be taxed one penny.
On other sales merchants would
compute the 3% tax to the nearest
penny. Also, merchants would be
required to pay a straight 3% tax
on all sales regardless of the fact
that they do not collect a tax from
the consumer on goods costing 9
cents and under. The bill now goes
to the Senate where considerable
amending is expected.
A $40,000,000.00 “gift of apprecia
tion” to Georgia veterans of World
War II was voted by the House last
week in the form of a constitutional
amendment to provide a bonus for
these veterans. The people will
vote on the measure in the 1948
general election. A bond issue
would finance the gifts. Veterans
would be paid $lO for each month
spent in foreign service and $7 for
each month spent in domestic ser
vice. A flat sum of $250 would be
paid to the widow of each Georgian
killed in service. If the widow is
remarried the money would go to
children or parents.
A hill to legalize pari-mutuel bet
ting on horse or dog racing as a
means of raising new revenue in
Georgia was introduced in the
House last week. Its passage was
quickly recommended by Agricul
tural Committee No. 2. The bill was
signed by 47 Representatives, chief
of whom were Reprs. Crowe of
Worth, Joel and Wells of Clarke,
Harrison of Wayne, Williams of
Toombs, and Dykes of Bleckley.
Under provisions of the bill racing
would be legalized between April
15 and Nov. 15. No racing would be
permitted on Sunday. A State Rac
ing Commission would regulate the
industry.
A resolution to continue the fede
ral financing of school lunch pro
gram in Georgia has been passed by
the House. A similiar resolution was
passed last week by the Senate.
Copies of the resolution will be
sent Georgia’s delegation in Con
gress.
The Senate Appropriations Com
mittee has slashed to $950,000 the
original two million dollar annual
allotment to increase the pay of
school bus drivers. It was explained
by Senator Calloway of the 35th
district that the two million figure
was an error and that the $950,000
would give drivers a 50% pay in
crease.
Reprs. Hill and Thompson, of
Meriwether, have introduced a bill
which would require all persons in
stalling or constructing a septic
tank for the disposal of sewage, and
all engineers or architects super
vising such construction, to submit
plans for the job to the State De
partment of Health.

INTIMATE FELLOWSHIP WITH
CHRIST
LESSON TEXT—-John 14:l-«, IMS;
MEMORY SELECTION —Ye are my
friends, If ye do whatsoever 1 comifiand
you.—John 15:14.
The hour had come for our Lord’s
final intimate words with his dis
ciples. It was indeed a solemn, but
also a blessed, hour.
It was the night before the dark
est day in the world’s history. On
the morrow the Son of man was to
hang on Calvary’s tree for the sins
of the world—for your sins and for
mine. But for the moment he was
alone with his disciples.
The last Passover had been eaten
together, the betrayer had been dis
covered, and the Lord has told them
that he was soon to go where they
could not follow. Peter had, by his
bold self-assurance, brought forth
the prophecy of his denial.
The disciples were disturbed in
heart and mind. Then came from
the Saviour’s lips the words of com
fort, assurance and power which
have been the strength and solace of
his people through all the centuries.
Our life both here and hereafter is
in his mighty hands.
We Team in this precious portion
of Scripture that
I. The Christian Need Not Be
Fearful (14:1-0).
That is indeed a good word—a
needed word I Troubled hearts are
every where—in the palace and in
the cottage, on land, in the air and
on the, sea. There is a place of
rest, thank God! There is One who
still speaks the majestic words,
"Let not your heart be troubled,
believe in God, believe also in
me."
His comfort is one which covers
the future life, for he says, "I go
to prepare a place” (v. 2). Concern
about future destiny is settled at
once when Christ Jesus becomes
our Lord and Saviour. We need
worry no longer. He has gone on
before to the Father’s house to pre
pare a place for his own. When we
come to that ever-peaceful shore
we shall not come as strangers, but
as sons and daughters to a pre
pared place in our Father’s house.
His words, "I will come again”
(v. 3), gives present meaning to the
future promise. He not only pre
pared the place, but he it is who
brings us there. The glorious hope
of his coming again is the Chris
tian’s greatest comfort and might
iest incentive to useful, holy living.
11. 'The Christian Need Not Be
Powerless (14:12-15),
Christ’s followers are not here in
a world of sin and need as a little
group of hymn-singing weaklings,
thinking only of the day when they
shall be in a brighter land. Ah, yes,
they sing hymns and rejoice in
them; they look for a better land;
their weapons of warfare are not
carnal. But weaklings? Oh, no! God
uses them to do great and mighty
things for his glory.
Note the blessed words of Jesus,
"He that believeth on me" (v. 12).
The army of God carries the royal
banner of faith in a living Christ.
"Greater works . . . shall he do”
(v. 12). Jesus only began his work
on earth; its greatest development
was to be the joyous privilege of his
followers. We are ashamed that we
have not Jived up to this great prom
ise, but by his grace we will do bet
ter.
“If ye ask ... I will do” (v. 14).
Someone has called this a signed
blank check on all the resources of
God.
111. The Christian Need Not Be
Distressed (14:16-18).
The Holy Spirit, promised by
Christ as the abiding comforter,
■ame so to abide in the believer on
he day of Pentecost (Acts 2).
The ministries of the Holy Spirit
ire many, but here the emphasis
s on his work as Comforter. What
i blessed and helpful ministry, and
ow much needed by distressed and
isturoed souls! The Christian may
amt on him and not be dis
ressed.
IV. The Christian Need Not Be
'etached (15:1-6),
What is worse than the feeling
lat one does not belong to any
e else, that one is a detached
’ividval! That is never true of
believer in Christ. We are as
e to him as the branch is to the
e We are in him.
rist is the vine, and the be
er as a true branch is united

h is difficult to express, but de
ful to receive and believe. He
is the vine needs no cleansing,
•he branch needs constant, daily
'’cation by the word. Are we
itting God’s Word to keep us
t? Only if we are reading it,
/ing it, meditating upon it.
ere is, moreover, a severer type
urging to which the husband
subjects the vine that it may
more richly, and that is prun
v. 2).
