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.

Cain, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Cain of 223 Solomon Hoad, Kathleen, Ga., has graduated at Lowry AFB, Colo., from the U.S. Air Force supply inventory specialist course conducted by the Air Training Com mand.

Larry Walker The Georgia House of Representatives has ap proved a record $1,614 billion appropriations bill for fiscal 1974 and a no-fault auto liability insurance bill as it heads into the final week of the current session. Action on the budget came Wednesday and passage of the no-fault insurance measure came Thursday. On Monday the House approved legislation authorizing a 3 percent tax on hotel and motel rooms, the proceeds of which will go to local governments. The same day, the House okayed A Faith \ I L' f Is ror Jlff 1 ® Sharing 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 I i"£cT Open 7 Days A Weekl I A,ex Herrera ' Mgr - I HI . .MB ~ Juntme twfcaift B I "A Shoppers Delight— Day Or Night" I I Alex Herrera Says, Thanks To You Our I I Customers, Without You We Have No Business.

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.
