entire chapter of his book
discussing whether or not
total honesty is desirable
between a doctor and his
patient. He feels that the
right decision was made in
his case but does feel some
regret that his wife had to
carry this worry alone.
As the years passed, his
condition grew worse and he
was told that the only thing
that would help him would be
a new heart. Since this was
an impossibility, Dr.
Blaiberg accepted his fate
and prepared for death.
Shortly after this, history
was made by Dr. Christian
Barnard when he tran
splanted a heart into a
patient and the man lived
another eighteen days before
his body rejected his new
heart. In spite of the death of
the first patient, Dr.
PAGE 9-A
Blaiberg never hesitated
when Dr. Barnard offered
him a heart transplant.
The emotions expressed by
the doctor and his wife in the
book are very realistic and
you feel a great surge of
admiration for their courage
in not only facing such
problems but for sharing
such personal feelings with
us. He says that he wrote the
book to bring hope to other
heart patients and I feel sure
that he would encourage
each of us to remember to
send the Heart Foundation
the pledges we made on
Heart Sunday.

measure came Thursday.
On Monday the House

Rev. Dick Reese
Crossroads Methodist Church
•‘Do not conform out
wardly to the standards of
this world, but let God
transform you inwardly by a
change of your mind."
(Romans 12:2 Good News)
How do you know a
Christian when you see one?
If you should be asked to
make a list of the things that
make a Christian stand out
in a crowd, what are some of
the things that would be on
your list? 1 think we should
rule out such things as at
tending church and saying
prayers because these things
ought to be expected as the
normal activity of a
Christian. We would want
our list to indicate some of
the things that the above
activities, and others like
them, might produce in the
life of a person.
Let me suggest several
things which are most
noticeable to me in the
behavior of Christians I
know and things which I
would like to cultivate within
my own life.
f irst of all, I believe that
there is a quietness about a
Gov. Jimmy Carter’s plan to
reorganize county health and
welfare boards and to put
them under the State
Department of Human
Resources. An amendment,
however, requires the ap
pointment of board members
by the county governing
authorities.
On Tuesday, the House
passed a bill establishing a
uniform tax on beer in
Georgia, a measure
estimated to bring in an
additional $6 million an
nually for Georgia’s cities
and counties.
Action on the ap
propriations bill came
during a lengthy session
Wednesday. The measure
concentrates its heaviest
new spending on tax relief
and assistance for mental
retardation and education
programs. It also places
great emphasis on fiscal
conservatism by reducing
Gov. Carter’s current
revenue estimate and by
voting lump sum ap
propriations for many
construction projects rather
than financing them through
the sale of bonds. The bon
ding process doubles costs
through interest payments
and increases the continuing
spending level.
A highlight was the ap
propriation of more than sll
million over two years to
keep 116 mental retardation
centers operative.
On Thursday, the House
approved by a 140-31 vote the
no-fault insurance bill which
is estimated to save
Georgians S3O million in
premiums the first year
through mandatory rate
reductions. The measure
requires a 15 percent rate
reduction on bodily injury
insurance and 50 percent
reductions for automobile,
medical and uninsured
motorist coverage. It also
would bring compulsory
liability insurance to the
state.
The same day, the House
disagreed with Senate
changes in House Bill 1,
which is designed to give
Georgia property owners SSO
million in tax relief.
However, leaders expressed
optimism that a conference
committee will work out
differences successfully.
Christian that we cannot
miss. Before you get the
wrong impression from this
statement, let me hurriedly
add that 1 do not mean he is
less noisy than the non-
Christian or that he fails to
express himself. 1 mean that
there is a quietness in his
character, he seems to be
more at peace with himself
and others. He is not as
fearful as others about the
future.
There are two kinds of
quietness. One comes from
resigning themselves to
defeat and despair. This is
not the kind of quietness I am
referring to here. The other
kind of quietness, the kind a
Christian has, comes from a
confidence in God. It is a
trust which says that after
we have done our best, there
is someone who will com
plete that which we have
begun. That someone is God.
Secondly, I believe there is
an unworldliness about a
Christian. This certainly
does not mean that the
Christian has withdrawn
from this world. The
Christian loves this world
because God loves it and
gave Himself for it. But the
Christian is not weighted
down by the things of the
world. A Christian enjoys the
food of his table. He eats to
live but he does not live to
eat. He makes money to live
on, but he doesn't live to
make money.
In the third place, a
Christian is gentle. This is
not because he is weak or

does care about others, but
because he is strong and
cares so much that he does
not want to violate, or crush
the life of another. He is
dedicated to loving others
rather than fighting them.
I would say, in the fourth
place, that a Christian is the
kind of person others enjoy
having around. He makes
others more alive because he
is so alive. The Christian
knows real joy. He enjoys
life. The Christian can know
that joy because Jesus knew
that kind of joy and love for
life.
Finally, a Christian is a
person who knows that
whatever he has ac
compolished is as a result of
the grace of God. God ac
cepts us as we are and we
cannot cause ourselves to
become other than what we
are, except by giving our
selves to God. It is by
committing ourselves to God
and living in obedience to
Him, that others may
recognize us as Christians.
