REPENTJESUS
SHALL RETURN!
Many years passed before
the great event transpired. Yes,
hundreds of years. Babies were
born, became men and died.
Generation after generation
lived and died. “But when the
fulness of the time was come
God sent his Son, made of a
woman.” Yes, and as a multi
tude of the heavenly host said,
“Glory to God in the highest!"
this writer shouts.
It had been many moons
and much water had gone
under the bridge since God had
announced the good news that
the woman's seed (Jesus
Christ) would ultimately defeat
the serpent’s seed (which in
cluded Satan) Genesis 3:15
gives us the first promise of the
Redeemer, the Lord Jesus
Christ
Long years before the virgin
birth of God the Son occurred,
it was foretold by God’s
prophet, Isaiah, in Isaiah 7 14
and 6, “Therefore the Lord
himself shall give you a sign.
Behold, a virgin shall conceive,
and bear a son, and shall call
his name Immanuel, l or unto
us a child is born, unto us a son
is given: and the government
shall be upon his shoulder and
his name shall be called
Wonderful, Counsellor, The
mighty God The everlasting
l ather, The Prince of Peace."
Not only was the virgin
birth of Jesus Christ foretold
hundreds of years before it oc
curred. but the place of his
birth was also foretold In
Micah 5:2, we read what had
been told concerning the birth
place of the coming Savior.
Bethlehem was to be the place
of the great event Oh, how
precious is the Bible, the peer
less and priceless Word of God,
both the Old Testament as well
as the New Testament
Now the birth of Jesus
Christ was on this wise When
as his mother Mary was es
poused to Joseph, before they
came together, she was found
with child of the Holy Ghost.
And (Joseph) knew her not till
she had brought forth her
firstborn son and he called his
name JI SUS (Matt I IS, 25)
In Luke 2, we read of the
full ill ment of what had been
foretold hundreds of years be
fore We read of the: virgin
birth of God’s only begotten
Son in a manger in Bethlehem
No doubt there were some,
many, who were saying,
“Where is the promise of his
coming 9 for since the fathers
(ell asleep, all things continue
as they were from the be
ginning of the creation " But
Tech Studying
Flammability of
•
Hugs, Carpets
Ihe Georgia Institute of
Fechnology School of Textile
I ngmeering has been investi
gating the effect of commercial
carpet cleaning procedures on
the flammability of carpetsand
tugs. The project is under the
sponsorship of the Carpet and
Rug Institute and research is
being conducted by Dr. Wayne
( Tincher and James W Mc-
Carty of the Textile School
The work has two major
objectives. The fust is to
evaluate a laboratory washing
procedure for assessment of
the durability of flame re
tardant treatments to com
mercial carpet cleaning The
second phase of the project is
direitcd toward determination
of the durability of a common
flame retardant used in carpet
construction, aluminum oxide
trihydrate, to cleaning pro
cedures
Over 25.000 square feet of
impel have been subjected to
cleaning procedures, both in
the laboratory and by com
mercial cleaners, and 1,700
individual specimens have been
tested for flammability as part
of this project
Results of this research
studs have been presented to
officials of the federal Trade
Commission and the Depart
ment of Commerce to assist in
development of unproved pro
cedures tor assessing the
flammability of carpels and
rugs

Jesus was born when the ful
ness of the time was come.
That is the way it is today.
After Jesus was crucified on
the cross for our sins, buried
and arose for our justification,
He ascended back to the
throne of God. While He was
on this earth He promised, “I
will come again.” When Jesus
was taken up into heaven, the
ones present were informed
that He would return.
OK, so it has been about
two thousand years since the
Lord Jesus Christ went back to
the throne of God, “But, be
loved, be not ignorant of this
one thing, that one day is with
the Lord as a thousand years,
and a thousand years as one
day The Lord is not slack con
cerning his promise, as some
men count slackness, but is
longsuffering to us-ward, not
willing that any should perish,
but that all should come to
repentance.”(ll Pet. 3)
Just as Jesus came as
promised the first time. He will
come again, as promised for
those who have repented of
their sin, and definitely re
ceived Him by faith as their
Lord and Savior “The dead in
Christ shall rise first: Then we
which are alive and remain
shall be caught up together
with them in the clouds, to
meet the Lord in the air and
so shall we ever be with the
Lord."
If Jesus should return
today, are you prepared to
meet Him? He will return! God
cannot lie; therefore, repent:
and again I say, Repent!

Care in Handling
Leftovers
ATLANTA Home econ
omists with USDA s Meat and
Poultry Inspection Program say
that leftovers should be
handled with extra care.
Be sure to cover leftovers
tightly and refrigerate or freeze
them immediately. Whenever
possible, put large quantities in
several small containers rather
than one large one to speed
cooling.
Always separate the meat or
poultry, any stuffing, and the
broth or gravy and store in
different containers. Also, be
sure to heat leftovers thorough
ly before serving.
Consider Public’s Needs,
Talmadge Tells Congress
ATLANTA (GPS) Assert
ing that urgent work was left
unfinished by the 92nd
Congress, U. S. Sen. Herman
Talmadge has squared off on
busing and the economy and
challenged the upcoming legis
lative session to “meet these
problems head-on and do
something about them.”
The Georgia senior senator,
in a recent speech to the Amer
icus Rotary Club, said the aver
age American “is tired of the
federal government trying to
run local school systems when
it can’t keep its own house
straight.”
“If the Congress of the
United States is going to ex
pect to keep the confidence of
the people, it better take more
notice of what they want ac
complished,” Talmadge
declared. “According to poll
after poll, citizens all across the
nation are most upset over two
things.
“They are sick of the
federal government hauling
children all over creation to
attain some arbitrary,
contrived racial quota while
the idea of equal education for
everybody goes down the
drain. And they are tired of
seeing their hard-earned money
devoured by inflated prices and
by taxes which are then reck
lessly spent.” He continued:
“The federal government,
through wage and price con
trols, has placed economic re
straints on the people. Now the
time has come for the people,
through the Congress, to im
pose economic restraints on
the federal government. We
have spent into the red for 37
of the past 43 years, and 1 do
not believe we can continue
this policy. There is no way we
can spend ourselves rich. We
need to put a tight lid on
federal spending and keep it
there.
“It is also time for Congress
to stop the idiocy of forced
school busing. Aside from cost
ing local school districts and
taxpayers untold millions of
dollars, there is no way to
measure the chaos that it has
inflicted on education.”
Pointing out that he has
sponsored, and will again spon-

WE order!

sor, a constitutional amend
ment to prohibit busing to
achieve racial balance, Sen.
Talmadge declared:
“The President has re
peatedly voiced his opposition
to busing, but he has done
nothing toward curtailing the
practice. I hope he will now
throw the full weight of his
office behind efforts to stop
forced busing.”
