F" PARSON'S PONDERINGS j
* BY REV. JAMES E. ELERSON >
A few days ago my good friend
and fellow minister, Milton Smith,
was telling me about a yearling
calf that belonged to him which
did not show up with the rest of
his cows one afternoon. He said
that he noticed that the mother of
this calf kept going to one cer
tain area of the field in which
the herd had been grazing; there
the cow would low as if calling
for her offspring.
He went on to say that he re
called an old, abandoned well that
was located in this part of the
field and, upon investigating,
found that the calf had fallen into
this well. Fortunately, there was
little or no water in the well and
the calf was not harmed.
With the help of two of his
neighbors. Rev. Smith rigged up
a hoist and then went down into
the well and fashioned a sling
around the calf, using a cotton
sheet, and soon they had the ani
mal safely out of the well. Hej :
said that this yearling stood still I'
as a stone during the time it tookp
to arrange the sling and get it !
secured on him, and that he was |
meek as a lamb while being hoist-1
ed from the well, but as soon as ।
he reached the surface, it took all I
the three men could do to hold j
him long enough to get the sling i
off. As soon as he was free, off
he went as fast as he could run.
As Brother Smith told me of
this incident I thought of other
incidents involving persons who
had gotten themselves into situ
ations most unpleasant, and of
how, in their time of trouble, they
called upon the Lord for help;
they were glad to look to the min
ister and the church for strength
and for love and for prayers. But,
like the calf, when they “got their
feet on the ground,” they went
their way, apparently forgetting
God and failing to show any
thanks for His goodness and mer-।
cy.
Jesus experienced this sort of
ingratitude in the case of the ten
lepers who were healed, but only
one of the ten was grateful enough
to come back and express his
thanks to Jesus (See Luke 17:11-
19).
The Apostle Paul aiso was
keenly aware of this widespread
failing among the people of his
day when he wrote, “ . . ■ When
they knew God, they glorified j
Him not as God, neither were
thankful; but became vain in
their imaginations, and their fool
ish heart was darkened” (Romans
1:21).
The poet, Rudyard Kipling, saw
that there was the very real dan
ger of his nation feeling too self
sufficient and forgetting the God
who had blessed and made her
great. He expressed his concern
in his poem “Recessional,’ writ-1
ten on the occasion of Queen Vic-।
toria’s Diamond Jubilee, June. ’
1897. which concludes with these!
lines:
“If drur.k with power, we loose
Wild tongues that have not Thee;
in awe —
Such boasting as the Gentiles use ,
Or lesser breeds without the Law-1
Lord God of Hosts, be with us:
yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget’
For heathen heart that puts her i
trust

Mrs. Pearl Pope is visiting her
daughter, Mrs. Sam Hurd in
Jackson, Ala.
; All valiant dust that builds on
dust,
And guarding, calls not Thee to
guard —
For frantic boast and foolish word,
Thy mercy on Thy people, Lord! ’
Amen.”
In these days when so much
emphasis is placed upon numbers
and power of man’s devices, we
need to remind ourselves that we
are not self-sufficient; that there
is One to whom we must look for
all our needs. Realizing this will
cause us to reflect as did the ,
Psalmist as he wrote: “I waited
patiently for the Lord; and He ;
inclined unto me, and heard my ।
cry. He brought me up also out ;
of an horrible pit, out of the miry
clay, and set my feet upon a rock,
and established my goings. And
He hath put a new song in my
mouth, even praise unto our God: ■
many shall see it, and fear, and
shall trust in the Lord.” (Psalm
40:1-3).

HOME NOTES
By WILLIE LEGGITT
NOTES ABOUT FURNITURE
Today’s furniture is a product
of the mass production methods
of our time. Our ancestors would
be quite surprised since most of
their pieces of. furniture were
hand-made by traveling cabinet
makers if they lived in the coun
try, or they might order from a
local shop if they lived in one of
the larger towne.
The pieces made were often
copied from books published by
the most eminent European cabi
net makers, or, if no books were
handy, they improvided on their
memory of pieces they had seen.
If you’re lucky, you may "till
have some of these treasures a
round. Although antiques re
highly treasured, I have to admit
that many of them do not fit into
the modern house with the great
est of. ease. Houses were bigger
and pieces of furniture fewer at
the time these pieces were made,
so the pieces are big and out-of
scale with present day pieces.
This is where modern furni
ture makers have done us a ser
vice. Not only have tHy made
furniture so abundant so that we
can afford what we need, but even
the most carefully reproduced an
tiques are scaled down so that
they will fit into the present
homes with the same ease and
grace that the older pieces fitted
their homes.
When buying pieces of. tradi
tional furniture, judge the piece
to determine if the scale is pleas
ing and if there have been addi
tional liberties taken in simplify
ing overly ornate decorations. You
will probably find you like the
modifications that make older
styles so attractice in today’s <
home. But it’s always a good idea i
to check details. i
Most of the groups of furniture;
you see this season will probably !
be Provincial styles with a Med-<
iterranean influence — Country
English, Italian Provincial, French
Provinical, Early American and
Colonial.

Summertime. Wintertime. Makes no difference.
Not when springtime climate indoors is yours

and heating system.
It’s year-round clean. In homes cooled and
heated electrically, there are no grimy, sooty
by-products of combustion. Redecorating costs
are cut drastically.
Savings begin with construction. No costly
vents, chimneys or flues to install. Also, an elec
tric heating and cooling system may qualify you
for SIBO toward wiring or rewiring your home.
What’s more, there is our special low total
electric rate. And with our budget billing, your
electric bill is the same amount every month.
So, ignore the seasons and enjoy perennial

Two New Student
Aid Programs
Now Available
Two new student aid programs;
are now available to needy and J
I able Georgia college students. {
j One involves scholarships ad- j
! ministered by the State Scholar-
I ship Commission, the other loans
; through the Georgia Higher Edu
cation Assistance Corporation.
Both agencies were created by the
Georgia General Assembly earl
। ier this year as part of Governor
I Carl Sanders’ overall program to
| improve education at all levels
i in Georgia.
I The State Scholarship Commis
! sion in the 1965-66 academic year
1 will provide 450 scholarships for
students in nursing, dentistry,
1 social work, pharmacy, physical
therapy, occupational therapy,
I medical technology, dietetics, hos
pital administration and other
I para-medical. fields. The number
provided in 1966-67 will be 900.
The Georgia Higher Education
Assistance Corporation will guar- j
ntee the repayment of loans
made by banks or other financial
, institutions to students to finance
■ their college education.
i These new programs will sup
'plement three existing State stu
dent aid programs in the form of
medical scholarships, teacher
! scholarships, and Regents’ schol
' arships.
The Regents’ scholarships must
1 be used at institutions of the Uni
' versify System' of Georgia, the
1 teacher scholarships in either
State or private colleges in Geor
i gia. The other loans and scholar
i ships may be used at accredited
! institutions either in Georgia or
: outside the State. Qualified stu
! dents attending college or accept
;ed for admission may apply for
i them.
i Receipts of loans obtained
i through the Higher Education As
-1 .sistance Corporation must pay
back the loans after graduation,
! plus interest not to exceed 6 per
(cent. Those who receive other
i loans or scholarships may repay
■ them either by practicing their
i professions for specified time per-
I iods in Georgia communities
j where their services are needed,
j or by cash with interest.
j Requests for application forms
|or for further information about
i these programs may be made to
j L. R. Siebert, Executive Director,
j 244 Washington St., S. W.. Atlan
! ta, Ga. 30334. or to the college the
{student is attending or will at-
I tend. Inquiries about teacher
scholarships should be made to
the State Department of Educa-
: tion, Atlanta, 30334.
Card of Thanks
We want to express to our
many friends throughout the
county our eedp appreciation for
your every act of. kindness and

All this has helped ease the
sorrow in the loss of our loved
one.
