COMMENTS
On Here & Hereafter
By Dr. Bob Jones
I stood on the steps of a museum
in the city of Cairo, Egypt. My
guide was an intelligent Moham¬
medan. He said to me, “Doctor,
before you leave the city, I should
like to take you into a museum
and show you statues that will tell
you the story of Egyptian deprav¬
ity thousands of years ago.” I re¬
plied, “I do not wish to see those
statues of perversity. I have been
to Rome, and in the midst of the
crumbled ruins of that civilization
there were statues of perversity.
I have been to Athens, and in the
midst of the wreck and ruins of
Athenian culture there were sta¬
tues of perversity. This city of
Cairo is built upon the ruins of
other cities whose inhabitants were
so wicked that God would-not let
them live.” Then I thA'it of
America. On the walls Sr public
buildings in this country you will
find the same statues of perversity
and the same pictures of depravity
that you will find among the ruins
of nations that God destroyed.
God is under no obligation to
America. A nation has no right to
live unless it lives right. The dust
of the centuries blows over the
bones of dead nations who lived
like we have begun to live. Amer¬
ica has done in a few years what
it has taken other nations cen¬
turies to do — America has put
a big percentage of her population
in the cities. We have in these
cities some of the same elements of
degeneracy and decay which
wrecked Rome and destroyed
Greece and sent to Hell other na¬
tions who at one time were power
ful.
... the plowing of the wicked,
is sin.” I was surprised to find
that statement in the Book of
Proverbs. This means that even
the legitimate work of a wicked
man is sin. The reason is plain.
A wicked man plows God’s dirt.
He cultivates God’s soil. He de¬
pends upon God for sunshine and
rain to make a erop, but. he never
stops to recognize God. He plows
for himself. The sin of building
the tower of Babel was the sin
of the spirit of the people who
built it. “Go to, let us build us
a city and a tower . . is what
they said. They should have said,
“Go to, let us build for God a
city and a tower . . .” Had they
built in that spirit, the city would
have stood. It is a sin to build a
city without recognizing God. It
is a sin to do legitimate business
wthout havng a God-consciousness.

What's Going On
in Your
White County Schools
By Telford Hulsey, Superintendent
NATIONAL SPOTLIGHT: Did
you read the Readers’ Digest ar¬
ticle about Georgia’s excellent Vo¬
cational Education Program? On
page 78 of the February issue, it
mentions former White County
man Jack Nix, who is now direc¬
tor of the Division of Vocational
Education in the State Department
of Education.
THIS WOULD BE OUR SHARE:
I went down to Atlanta Monday
and found out that our share of
the 34 million that Georgia would
get for low income families under
the new Johnson bill would be
$87,057. That would be for one
year. The first year’s cost of the
Johnson bill would be 1.5 billion.
Georgia’s share would be about
40 million. Most of this — the 34
million — would be for the educa¬
tion of children in families with
less than $2,000 income. (The 40
million dollars would be in addition
to what Georgia gets in federal
cash and goods now, which is about
55 million dollars. White County
in the school year 1963-64 got
$19,850.05, according to the recent
report of T. V. Holley, Statistical
Supervisor.
FIRST GRADE AND THEIR
READING: I was over at the Cleve¬
land Elementary School visiting
the first grade the other day. They
were doing a good job. Mrs. Don
Husley was teaching them how
to read. Reading is the key to all
learning, and I was glad to see
these boys and girls getting an
early start.
I AM PROUD of the good work
going on in our five schools in
White County, of the excellent
work of the teachers, the spirit of
the boys and girls and the good
support which we get from par*
ents and taxpayers.
HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW
ABOUT YOUR OWN COUNTY?
Mrs. Parks, 3rd grade at Cleve¬
land Elementary has had a fine
exhibit on White County. They
could teach us all more about the
county we live in. They had a
chapel program about White Coun¬
ty, too.
