considered an authority on

Christian Seeds
Modern Pharisees
How dare you say to your
brother, “Please, let me take
that speck out of your eye,’’
Gifting the Guys
Play it cool this Christ
mas. Don’t get involved in
a last-minute/ knockdown
scramble chasing from store
to store. Shopping can be
fun, especially for the guys
in your life.
Here is how the miracle is
wrought I. Start right now!
2. Select a category, like,
say, men's grooming aids.
3. Make up your list of
names. 4. Decide on some
thing within that category
for each giftee. 5. Pick an
hour to shop when the stores
are less likely to be crowd
ed. and 6. Do ail your shop
ing in one visit to one store.
It's easy!
Il you've chosen grooming
aids for instance, Dad or
Uncle would love those
handsomely-packaged groom
ing kits smart-
Z. ly decorated
/ vi with a sailin ^
fr ” ship. Your true
' : M love will flip
~ < over men’s co-
. , ' logne or after
,' \ shave with that
■' old spicy scent
with maybe a touch of lime
added. Gramps 9 His favorite
shaving mug with a sea
going motif. And the younger
men in your life will find
good grooming more groovy
with their own personal
supplies.
Stocking staffers are a
bundant, too, at the same
counter. Stick cologne, tal
cum shower soap-on-a-rope
and so on. And quicker than
you can say Merry Christ
mas. you’re done! Your
budget’s ship shape and
there's lots of time left
over to sing those Christ
mas carols and hang the
mistletoe. A’P Features)
when you have a log in your
own eye? These words of Jesus
apply to each one of us even
today.
The Pharisees accused Jesus
of sin because He healed on the
Sabbath Day We often accuse
air neighbor of sin because
she washes dishes on Sunday
or because he plays ball on
Sunday. Jesus tells us, “Let
liim without sin cast the first
stone,”
We say, “Your body' is the
temple of God. And therefore
it is a sin to wear s lac Its oi’
have long hair and side bums
or to do anything we personally
dislike. But these personal ac
cusations can work two ways.
Young people today can turn
such rash statements right back
on us by saying, “You are
temples of God too. And you
drink coffee as a stimulant,
and diet soft drinks which have
no food value. You smoke and
spend money for beer instead
of giving a better wage to your
domestic help.” And so on.
Why can’t we return to
Scripture for our moral guide
lines? The Bible states that
“God saw everything that He
had made and behold it was
very good.” It is our proper
use or our abuse of God’s
gifts that makes an action right
or wrong, not whether we con
form to the Blue Laws of New
England or not. Jesus said,
“If you love me, keep my' com
mands. And a new command
ment I give you, tliat you love
one another as I lave loved
you.”
Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me
be more merciful. Help me
consider Your words often,
“Judge not, that you may not
be judged.” Help me become
compassionate and of service
to others, not trying to take a
speck out of another’s eye until
I can get the log out of my
own. Amen.
God bless you now

The McGuires build toys
for their church nursery.
And help us build power plants.
In Lakeland, May and James McGuire enjoy retire
ment, but stay busy working for their church. In
addition to building toys, they also spend time each
week with activities involving children.
The McGuires, like many other individuals, are
shareholders in the Georgia Power Company. In
fact, some 121,000 men and women are direct in
vestors in this company and its parent firm, The
Southern Company.
Many more people are indirect owners. For
example, insurance companies, mutual savings banks
and pension funds have investments in electric com
panies all over the nation. This gives millions of
Americans an indirect financial interest in the indus
try. The money invested helps to build plants, lines
and other facilities required to assure your supply
of electricity.
So, you see, companies such as ours, serving
just about everybody, are owned by just about every
body. Chances are, that includes you, too.
