Jean C. has another interest in
Fort Valley now.
Charles, you should know Mack’s

Scoop hasn’t seen Ann B. around
lately. Where do you keep your

True love never runs smooth, uh
Betty?
Mildred, who was your visitor
Friday night?

Scoop has noticed that Mack
doeesn’t particularly mind pretty
girls on skates falling into his arms.
Doot, why do you like the curb
service at Griffin’s so much?
Did you say you were disappoint

because no one was knocked out,
Mildred?
Scoop heard that Evelyn had a
nice time at the football game Fri

Sara Abrams has finally proved
that she goes skating. She is a
casualty!
Just 34 more weeks until Jean

Cecil Ford, what have you been
doing lately? Scoop can’t find out
any gossip about you.
THE EIGHTH GRADS': NEWS
After returning to school, the
Perry High Eighth graders were
very sorry to learn that two of the
last year’s seventh graders v/eee uir
able to return to school this term.
One of these unfortunate class
mates was Billy Huggins, who has
returned to iris home, following
an appendectomy. He was late en
tering school
Sylvia Harrison is also at home
with a serious foot infection.
At the beginning of the term the
girls took Home Economics one day
and civics the next. This caused so
much confusion that one-half of the
girls now take Home Economics and
, the other half are taking Civics.
Another exciting event of the
new school term was the electing of
our class officers, Thursday, Sep
tember 15. We voted by means of
the secret ballot. The persons in
Mrs. Chapman’s room had some
thing to be proud of because the
president, Billy Beckham, and the
secretary-treasurer, Sylvia Tabor,
were both from that room.
Instead of having a vice-president
lor the entire eighth grade, we de
cided to have one for each of the,
I three sections. From Mrs. Chap
j man's room Daphine White was
| selected to serve a one-yea' term.
Barbara Davis is to represent Mrs.
Tucker’s room and Joyce Pierce was
elected from the third section which
belongs to Miss Conner, a new tea
cher and one we are proud to wel
come to Perry High.

DEVOTIONAL READING: Hosea 14.
What is aCall oi God? _
Lesson for October 2, 1949
TF YOU knew exactly what God
* wanted you to do, would you
do it? Os course you would. The
trouble is: How does any one know
what God’s will is?
For example, a
young man is |
thinking about his M
life’s work; what
shall he choose?
Most young men B
would do what
they were sure
God called them j
to do, but what is
a call? Dr. Foreman
The story of
Isaiah throws some light on this
problem. (We are beginning this
week a three month’s study of the
great prophets Isaiah and Jere
miah.) True, he lived some 2700
years ago, and half way to the
other side of the world; but human
nature has not changed in 2700
years.
• • *
From Man about Town
To Man of God
ISAIAH was a young man about
town, in the small but wealthy
city of Jerusalem, about 700 years
before Christ. He was a personal
friend of all the important people,
a man of good education, with
wide horizons of interest, of inde
pendent means, eloquent, polished,
the sort of man who makes a good
career diplomat.
He tells in some detail the
story of how he came to be a
prophet. The story is in Isaiah
6. Perhaps if we had been
there with a camera and a wire
recorder we might have been
able to photograph the sera
phim and take down their
cries, just as Isaiah saw and
heard them.
What we do know is that that
experience changed Isaiah’s life.
Up to that time (on his own show
ing) he had been a “man of un
clean lips;” from that time on he
began to be a spokesman for the
Lord. Let us try to say what the
story of that life-changing vision,
that call, means in terms of our
own experience.
* * •
The Flame of God
"pIRST there was the overwhelm
mg sense of God’s reality and
power and holy majesty. No one
can ever experience a call who
does not take God seriously.
A God “afar off,” a God
who is only a problem, an idea,
a hypothesis, never called any
one. God alone can make him
self real to man; and only a
man with a real sense of a
living God is going to hear his
call.
Next came Isaiah’s realization
of his own unfitness and sin. A
man who feels equal to a great
task is probably not equal to it.
“Them as knows nawthin’ fears
nawthin’,” as the Irish say. A
man who feels good enough to
serve God, just as he is, is not good
enough. A man without a sense of
sin is too full of it.
Then comes the burning coal
from the altar; Issiah feels that
bis guilt is gone. No one can fully
do God’s will with an unforgiven
heart. Isaiah was not sinless at one
stroke, of course, yet it is possible
to turn from all known sin; it is
possible to devote one’s loyalty to
God; and this Isaiah did.
It was only then that he
heard the call: Whom shall I
send? In modern and less pic
turesque language, Isaiah was
conscious of a need he had not
felt before—that is, of God’s
need, of Ids people’s need.
What those needs were will
come out in later studies. The
point is that young Isaiah, who
hitherto had lived only for himself.
now saw the need of the city and
the people airon« whom he lived.
• ♦ *
“Hero Am I;
Send Me.”
THEN comes the last stage—
Isaiah’s willing offer of himself.
His great talent was the ability
to use language. He could make
w'ords march and sing as few men
of any race have done. But up to
that time, it seems, his gift of
eloquence had been used chiefly
in telling dirty stories.
Now he has repented, and
been forgiven, and he says to
God: Use me. His voice, his
knowledge, hi s eloquence,
which he had been using
against r cd 'or at best, only
for Isaiah) he was now to use
for God and man.
So there is a call: A sense of
J God, near and commanding and
holy; repentance; forgiveness; a
sense of need; willingness to de
vote all one’s gifts to fill that need.
