“Billy,” questioned a Sunday
School teacher, “what must we
do before we can expect the
forgiveness of sin?” “First,” he
■answered, “we must sin."
David had sinned and he need
ed forgiveness, so he turned to
God. Only He can forgive. In
love He forgives without limit
our transgressions without num
ber.
In Psalm 51:5 David prayed
with a broken and penitent
heart, "Have mercy upon me, O
God, according to Thy loving
kindness: according unto the
multitude of Thy tender mer
cies blot out my transgres
sions.”

ATLANTA (PRN) - For
years we as Southerners have
been exposed to hypocritical
statements and speeches from
national leaders of both
parties. We have been singled
out for special orders and
decrees which have not been
applied to the rest of the
nat ion.
During this past school
year, teachers, students and
parents in Georgia have
responded admirably to the
trying conditions imposed
upon them. We have sought to
place the education of each
individual student above all
else. We all have recognized
that our most important job is
to insure that every child in
Georgia, black or white,
receives the best possible
education. The massive
transfer of students or
teachers to achieve some
arbitrary racial quota ser es no
useful educational purpose. It
diverts badly needed funds
from worthwhile areas and
disrupts the lives of families
and communities. For this
reason, I am and always have
been opposed to it.
Our President now says that
he agrees. But words are
cheap. Words that seek to
mislead and manipulate us
when we all are desperately
seeking a workable solution to
age-old problems are
contemptible.

“Yes, mother,” he answered.
"Well, bring it to me,” she re

erased it.” "But where is it?”
she insisted. "Why, mother," he
explained, “it is gone, all gone.”
“That,” she explained, “is what
the Lord means when He says,
‘I will blot out thy transgres

When He blots out our trans

from our record but also His
remembrance. He says, "I am

Governor Wallace of
Alabama has taken action this
past week which provides the
Nixon Administration an
opportunity to demonstrate
its sincerity or to reveal to us
all its total lack of principle.
If the President is sincere,
let him place the full resources
of the federal government,
including the Justice
Department and H.E.W.,
behind whatever legal or
administrative action is
necessary to eliminate once
and for all the shipping of
students and teachers far from
their homes and friends for
purposes that have absolutely
nothing to do with education.
Let him express his
appreciation for this timely
assistance and get on with the
job of translating his speeches
and campaign promises into
concrete action.
This is not time to hide in
the White House and pretend
that nothing is happening. The
people of Georgia and the
nation are waiting and
watching.
We are sick of seeing, again
and again, our educational
system become a battleground
on which political factions
jockey and maneuver for
advantage with total disregard
for the welfare of our
children.
We need leadership from
our President. It is not yet
clear whether we shall have it
or not.

We take a long look ahead.
So you won’t come up short
on electric power.
Your electric needs continue to grow. And so does
the number of people we must serve. Unlike most
businesses, we can’t turn customers away. We’re
responsible for supplying everyone who applies for
electric service.
To meet your needs, it’s necessary to build. Our
present generating capacity took 40 years to de
velop. But in only three years, it must be doubled.
And by 1980, quadrupled.
This growth demand comes in a period of serious
inflation. Building materials, fuel and interest rates
have skyrocketed in price. For construction alone
this year, we’ll spend $363 million —an average
of $376 for each customer we serve.
Environmental protection adds millions to con
' struction costs. For our obligation is to continue
supplying you with dependable electric power. And
we want to safeguard natural resources, too. It’s
no easy task. But our viewpoint is toward tomorrow.
