A Novel To Be
Enjoyed By All
Phyllis A, Whitney is
America’s answer to
Victoria Holt. She too is a
writer of novels for
women and they are
consistently best sellers.
Ms. Whitney has
developed a loyal
following of readers who
await each and every
novel she produces.
Among the best known of
her previous twenty-four
novels are The Stone
Bull, The Golden Unicom
and Columbella.
In this her latest novel.
Whitney once again has a
beautiful heroine fighting
to regain her sense of self
as well as solve a
mystery. Laurie Morgan
has lapses of memory
that hide a tragic event in
her childhood. Her
mother fled with her
when she was eight away
from the death of her
husband and some
terrible events in the
town of Jasper, Colorado.
Now years later Laurie
has been summoned back
by her strong willed
grandmother, Persis

Decisions
Decisions .... some
come easier than others.
We find it less difficult to
reach a conclusion when
it coincides with our
desires, than to come to
grips with something that
goes against our wishes.
There is more to
consider than our “likes
or dislikes” when con
fronted with which path
to take.
There is more to
consider than “self", and
further to look than "here
and now".
Snap decisions are
risky as they are subject
to being made ahead of
God’s timing.
Wrong decisions, those
made on our own, reap
unhappiness. Right
decisions, those made in

Morgan.
Unable to withstand
that summons, Laurie
returns to the town and
the memories. She is
accompanied by her
boyfriend Hilary. That is
boyfriend as in boyfriend.
Ms. Whitney’s characters
are usually very moral
people. In Jasper she
meets a young man from
her childhood and
develops a strong at
traction for him. Soon
however her personal life
is put aside as she
struggles to unravel the
mystery of her father’s
death and her part in it.
This search leads her into
personal jeopardy and to
a surprising conclusion to
the book.
This novel is one for
light reading and en
joyment. It is much like
working a puzzle. Ms.
Whitney plants little
clues throughout the
story as to who the really
bad guys are. As you pick
these hints you start
adding up the total to
reach the solution before
partnership with God,
bring peace and con
tenment to all concerned.
As we look toward a
new year, knowing not
what the future holds,
faced with decisions, we
can move forward with
confidence, knowing that,
“It is God who directs the
lives of His children.”
(Job 12:10 TEV)

Lions Hold
Ladies Night
The Perry Lions
honored their ladies at
the annual Christmas
party held at the New
Perry Hotel, December
18, 1979. Having such an
excuse is looked forward
to by the Lions since their
attendance means going
an extra mile toward fun
and pleasure.
Even though the ladies
were honored, the real
theme of the night’s
fellowship revolved
around the true meaning
of Christmas. This was
most ably done by Mr. Ed
Davidson, Director of
Music and Youth,
Evergreen Baptist
Church, Warner Robins.
Mr. Davidson presented a
portion of the cantata,
“Noel -- Jesus is Born,”
which touched the hearts
of everyone. In addition
to this, he sang, ac
companying himself with
the guitar. Along with all
this he interspersed some
fun and frolic along with
group singing. Certainly,
the true Christmas spirit
was felt by all.
Not only was the
program enjoyed im
mensely but the excellent
dinner, tail twisting by
Lion Tom Adams and
good fellowship among
some 46 Lions and
Lionesses added to the
occasion, making it a
joyous event.
Before adjournment, a
resounding round of
applause was given to Ed
Davidson for his program
and support given to him
by his wife, Lynn. Truly,
everyone left the hotel
with an uplifted spirit
and peace of mind.
