Mr. J. M. Carroll, Ordinary,
Trenton, Georgia
Dear Mr. Carroll
I have read with considerable interest your recent report on the
“State of the County”, and note that you have greatly improved
the financial status of our County during your administration. On
top of this, you have certainly done a good job building new
county roads and maintaining those already built.
In order to reduce your bond ed indebtedness and increase
your cash surplus, both by substantial amounts, it was certainly
necessary to economize considerably. At this rate we should be
able to retire all our bonded ind ebtedness within a few more
years. I hope that our bond mone y is being handled equaly as well.
As stated before, it would be quite a feat to accomplish these
results under ordinary conditions and it is certainly outstanding
that you were able to accomplish this with a decline in ^ taxes.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) BELK.

Bombardment
The airplane is the parable on
religion. The plane can soar high
above the rugged mountains;
even above the dark clouds. So
can true religion and trust in
God take you above the terrible
rugged trials and temptations
we have. When the clouds seem
darkest it lifts us over the storms
of life. As the bombs fall from
the planes and burst into de¬
struction, so can the power of
God send destruction to satan
and his co-workers. They can’t
stand the bombing of prayer;
nor the shrapnel of God’s word.
The go hurrying away, seeking
some other victim, just as the
bombers on the plane go seek¬
ing other targets. Satan can be
bombed into the background
with prayer and righteous liv¬
ing. If we would all pull together
and bombard the kingdom with
earnest prayer for our world and
be as concerned over it as our
boys are on their missions of the
enemy targets we would ac¬
complish something.
I’m afraid we are not as anx¬
ious and concerned on our mis-
ion. We don’t drop enough pray¬
er bombs— 7 we have too many
misses. We don’t pray through
on it. We need to hold and
wrestle with God as Jacob of old
did, for our nation. God has said
“ask and ye shall receive, but
we have to be in earnest about
it and not a doubting Thomas.
When the boys start out on their
missions of bombing, the are giv¬
en a map of the target and told
to eet it—so with confidence in
themselves they go after that
enemy target. All right. Jesus
mapped out a plan for us to fol¬
low. He showed us satan as our
enemy, but hof many of us are
bombing him out of our lives and
I blowing up his enemy emplace-
ments? Let’s make the bombs
' fall fast and furious him
so on
until our nations will come to
peace. This can be accomplished
through and by continuous bom¬
barding of earnest prayer and
intercession to God.
We should be so concerned ov¬
er the world’s condition and
what our boys are going through
with that we would have no
misses in our prayer life. Those
boys are no failing us over there
and we should feel so concerned
over It if we let them down, we
could have no peace of mind.
While they are bombing the
enemy with man-made destruc
