Bible Seminar
Attended By
Area Group
Will God Intervene in
Men’s Affairs? Joseph Sala,
district director of Jehovah’s
Witnesses in the Southeast
ern United States, answered
in the affirmative as he con
cluded the week-end Bible
seminar of the religious
group at Dalton High School
Sunday afternoon
Eight-hundred thirty-five
persons from a three-state
area were in attendance for
this principal lecture of the
conference. Thirty attended
from Summerville.
Mr Saia told the assembly
that contrary to the "God Is
Dead" tenet so vigorously
propounded of late, that Je
hovah God is very much
alive and has been active ex
tensively in men’s affairs
especially since the First
World War of 1914. when ac
cording to chronological cal
culations and physical facts
of world happenings, the
Kingdom of God was estab
lished in the heavens.
Christians Respond
"A kingdom is in existence
when it has subjects that
submit to its rule”, Saia said.
"Since 1914. upward of a
million Christians have re
sponded to the commission
to preach the Kingdom in
all the earth as set forth by
command at Matthew 24:14.”
Mr. Saia pointed out that
God has named this genera
tion as the one to see the
destruction of God’s ene
mies and the putting into
operation a righteous new
order under heaven's rule.
Delegates attending from
Summerville felt that the
three-day Bible conference
helped them to better serve
the spiritual interests of the
community.

MY ‘LUCK’
TURNS
You will be goggle-eyed
with envy. I would, too, if it
were happening to you in
stead of to me.
You see, it is like this. I
was sitting at the kitchen
table one cold, cold night. It
was drizzling outside and
about to turn to sleet and
ice. And the water pipes may
all pop (each and every one
of them) like they did last
year, and here I sit high and
icy like I did when I was
without heat for a week re
cently. And then before that,
I couldn’t use my kitchen
sink for a couple of weeks,
simultaneously with my
bathroom plumbing being in
a state of repair for several
weeks). And during all this
time I had a light touch of
the Asian flu, I supposed, in
my right jaw. It felt like a
Greyhound bus had taken
residence. Like I say, the last
few weeks have been no pic
nic.
Anyway, I was sitting here
in the kitchen trying to get
some flame in the puny little
fire on the hearth, and
jumping up every whipstitch
when I heard SOMETHING.
Each and every time I heard
it, I thought it was a haint,
but then I would jump up to
see where it was coming
from. Once it was over by
the heater, and then in front
of the bench by the door,
then over under the safe.
No. it wasn’t a haint at all.
It was just Spot snoring as
he moved around from place
to place. (He has just started
sleeping in the house).
Anyway. I was sitting here
meditating on the sadness,
seriousness and solemnity of
life. I got to thinking about
how my nice green-eyed jet
black cat. Soot, mysteriously
passed this life, and next
Red, Charlie's cat, who after
Soot’s demise took up with
Spot and was always run
ning in and out. playfully
hopping up on the table and
all, and then Meow.~a tiny
kitty given me to fill the
aforementioned gaps.
Wondering how they all
met death so strangely, ac
companied by Spot’s peculiar
snores, left me a little
creepy-splned as I was sit
ting here mulling over the
viscissltudes of life.
Well about that time, the
telephone rang, and I got up
to answer it. And here comes
the part where you’re going
to get Goggle-Eyed with
Envy. The nicest, sweetest,
pleasantest voice you ever
heart says, "Hello. Mary Jo!”
And I says. "Hello???”
And the voice says, so
nice-like, "How are you?”
And I says, "Fine, thank
you, how are you?”
And then the voice says,
“How’s the weather up
there?”
And I says as how it is
rough and everything is ic
ing over and all.
And here comes the good
news. The voice says, “It’s 75
in Miami! Why don’t you
come on down?”
And I says, “Well, er, er,
ah—!?!?”
And the nice voice comes
to my rescue and says, “This
is Glennis, you know, your
cousin Glennis Wilson.”
And about this time my
legs turn to jelly and my
breath leaves me and all. In
short, I am about to keel
over being as how this is all
so sudden and unexpected.
Nobody in all this whole
wide, wide world has ever
called me from Miami before
and invited me down before.
While I am trying to gain
my composure and equilib
rium and all. Glennis tells
me as how Florida Trammell
is coming down soon and
suggests that we might wish
to make the journey togeth
er. And I tell her as how I
think It is a great idea, but
warn her that if I find the
breezes balmy enough and
the sunshine sunny enough,
she might have me on her
hands for some little time to
come. And Glennis tells me
that nothing would please
her better!
She tells me that her sis
ter Minnie. (Bryant) sent
her a clipping of Rambling
Around, and she enjoyed
reading it. and she got to
studying about it. and she
wondered why she hadn’t
asked me down sooner.
It has been about 10 years
since I wiggled my toes in
Florida sand, and I have
never been further south
than Tampa and Sarasota
and never in Florida in the
winter, so I should have
plenty to write about soon
(I am trying to lose 15
pounds so I can wear my
beach togs I am on the
grapefruit diet I sure hope
it works.)

HEARTWARMING
"You'd better not say any-
Rambling
Around
thing about the people in
Chattooga County . . . not
to me!” Bud Warren said as
he lifted a white daybed a
friend had given them and
hoisted it up on his red
pickup truck, covering it
carefully with plastic to
keep off the rain and sleet,
and weighted the plastic
down with bricks.
He told how that he was
figuring his income tax late
into the night after Martha
and the four children at
home had gone to bed, and
he happened to look up and
see a circle of red around the
stove flu and then it just
mushroomed. He woke up
the family, and they got out
by the skin of their chinny
chin chins (his hair was
singed). The house fell in
as they got out. and they
saved only themselves and
the night clothes they were
wearing.
Preacher A. A. Tanner and
Preacher Farris Baird and
possibly others, announced
about their loss on the radio
the next morning, and by
daylight, carloads of cloth
ing. food and household
things were coming in.
They are staying with Mrs.
Lula M. Warren, 2 Curran
Street, Phone 853-4565, Sum
merville, at present. They
have rented a house, which
is unliveable at present with
all busted waterpipes, but in
which they are storing the
things Chattoogans are giv
ing them.
They need a refrigerator
and three beds to get started
back to housekeeping as well
as pots and pans and many
other things.
After hearing about the
fire and going down and
looking at the charred flat
tened out remains, I couldn’t
help but be thankful for
each thing I used the rest of
the day, even my old rub
board. which I used to scrub
some white collars and my
bar of soap, which I had
made from melted tidbits of
soap, and for my new ruby
and clear water goblets I got
for Christmas, and well, for
each and everything that I
heretofore might have taken
for granted, or been a little
peeved at because it was
getting old and decrepld, or
might not be quite as fine
as the Joneses.
I feel like Bud. I want to
stay around in this neck of
the woods where people are
so good to you. especially
when misfortune strikes or
you are down and out.

FLYING
SAUCERS
I am trying to get a scoop
on a flying saucer spotted
across the road from the
Penn Drive-In over the Sel
man field (which is used for
a landing strip).
I will tell you more about
it when I find out more. In
the meantime, keep your
eyes peeled. Perhaps. Mars
is about to communicate
with Chattooga.

TIP
If you would like to keep a
systematic record of your
Bible reading in 1968. you
may do so by getting a
unique little sheet, "My Per
sonal Reading Record.” for
2c each from the Navigators,
Colorado Springs, Colorado
80901. You should send them
a self-addressed stamped
envelope with your order.
You will be surprised how
much more you will read as
you enjoy circling the chap
ters on the record.
From time to time, we
praise each other and our
selves. It was very strange
and very pleasant to have
had the following exper
ience at a family conference
at Covenant College back in
the summer. This family of
singers were at the meeting,
and the man (I forget his
name) smiled constantly. I
never saw him when he did
not have a glow in his eyes
and a smile on his lips As
I was leaving. I saw him and
his wife, and I felt compelled
to tell him that I noted and
appreciated his happy coun
tenance. “It is God. Praise
the Lord!” he said.
I was reminded of this
incident when reading the
last verse In Psalms:
“Let every thing that hath
breath praise the Lord.
Praise ye the Lord."
