REV. JERRY MAHAN (C) WELCOMED TO ROTARY CLUB MEETING
By Jack Richardson (L) And Fay Hurley
Christ Can Meet Needs,
Mahan Tells Rotarians
There's no need known to
man that can't be provided by
Christ, the Summerville-Trion
Rotary Club was told Monday.
The Rev. Jerry Mahan, a
former Chattooga Countian
who now serves as pastor of
the First Baptist C?mrch of
Cedartown, gave an inspira
tional talk at The Tavern in
Trion, lacing it with humor and
Biblical wisdom.
He was the guest of
Rotarian Fay Hurley and in
troduced by Jack Richardson,
a Rotarian and association
Baptist missionary.
SERVE GOD
The speaker, who is work
ing on his doctorate degree,
quoted part of Christ’s Sermon
on the Mount at the beginning
of his address. The Rev. Mahan
noted that Christ told the
multitudes that they couldn't
serve both God and material
things and that they should
take no thought of their life,
what they should wear or eat.
He used that starting point
to say that there is a dif?erence
between ‘‘concern’’ and
“worry.”" Christians should be
concerned about their
neighbors, the souls of men and
the poor, the Rev. Mahan said,
because ‘‘concern’’ focuses
one's mind on the issue.
“Worry,” on the other hand, in
volves merely disturbing
thoughts.
Rotarians shouldn't worry
about the inevitable and things
theg have no control over, he
said.
TEENS
A psychological study of
teen-agers indicated that they
think most about sex — once
every two minutes on the
average, the Rev. Mahan said,
but their second greatest worry
was cited as death. It's not
that they were fearful of dying
Benefit Sing
At Ridgedale
A benefit singing will be
held at Ridgedale Unity
Church of God this Saturday
at 7 p.m. The Faith Temple
(i]uartet, Joan and John, and,
the Singing Revelators will be
performing. Pastor Bill Moses
said everyone is welcome.
Church Of Christ
VBS Next Week
Vacation Bible School will
be held next Monday through
Friday, June 17, at West Fifth
Street church of Christ. It will
be held from 9 until 11:30 a.m.
each day.
Joel V. Brown is minister.
Marriage Course
A five or six-week course on
marriage will be taught at Cor
nerstone Ministries, South
Penn Street, Summerville,
beginning at 6 p.m. Sunday. It
wifi‘ be taught by Gary and
Phyllis Howell.
Decoration Day
There will be a cemetery
cleaning at Ami Cemetery,
Jamestown Road, Friday and
Saturday.
Sunday will be Decoration
Day.
immediately, he noted, but
that they were worried about
dying eventually.
“Death is 100 percent every
generation,” he noted, and
nothing can be done about it so
there's no need to worry about
it
Adults worry about aging,
getting older, he said. They
often react to people getting
older by putting them in in
stitutions when there may be
nothing “‘wrong’’ except that
they have gotten older. “We
treat them as if they have a
disease that we'll catch.”
People should grow old
gracefully, the Rev. Mahan
said, a(i’ding that it was
ridiculous to see an older man
dating a woman young enough
to be his daughter.
We shouldn’t worry about
tomorrow or yesterday — ‘‘the
good old days that never
were . . . and always come up
short with today.”
GRIEVE
It's possible to grieve so
over the past as to destroy to
day, the Rev. Mahan said. “We
shouldn't worry about tomor
row and wish our lives away."
' Christ said people must
have ‘‘the right set of
priorities,” the Rev. Mahan
said. Christ told the poor not to
worrg about shelter or food, he
noted. “‘I know many rich peo
ple who are absolutely
miserable.”
Education can also be over
valued, the speaker said. Refer
ring to the Copeland murder
case of the mid-1960s in Chat
tooga County, the Rev. Mahan
sai§ one of the convicted killers
had an IQ of over 160.
PRIORITIES
Man should always put
God first and the other
priorities, spouse, children and
neighbors, will fall in the right
order, he indicated. In most
cases, we don't place our
priorities in that order unless

is to get your relationships

Christ cannot meet.”
