Deliver Me,
0 Lord
Psalm 59
Have you ever asked the
Lord to deliver you from pre
vailing circumstances? Did you
give thanks when you knew the
Lord had intervened on your
behalf? So often, we offer up
the prayer, “Have mercy upon
me, a sinner, O Lord?” This
prayer should be offered be
cause we are all sinners. But,
we should ask the Lord to de
liver us from temptations
which are beyond our power
to cope with. Or even better,
we should ask for strength to
overcome these same tempta
tions. We should ask the Lord
to set us on high, so that we
can rise above the prevailing
temptations.
The Psalmist asked the Lord
to deliver him from his ene
mies. Were these enemies, per
sons, who intended to do him
harm in any way ? Or were
these enemies in the form of
temptations which he knew that
he was able to overcome in his
own strength alone? Surely,
the Psalmist had been in both
situations, where he had seen
his enemies standing before
him in the form of persons and
also as temptations, which
would eventually pull him down
if yielded himself to them.
The worse enemy you or I
have is not someone who would
do us bodily harm or try to
ruin us by tearing down our
reputation. Neither is our
worse enemy the temptations
which beset us. The worse
enemy I have is “myself.”
The worse enemy you
have is “yourself.” You cause
yourself more misery, worry
and anxiety than anyone else
can ever cause you. You are
the only one who can commit
yourself to sin and transgres
sion. You are the only one
who can give yourself to the
Devil and his way of life. You
can- make life worth living or
you can make it a chaotic mess.
Lives are not usually ruined
by out side invironment, but
by that which goes on in the
person. Remember, God looks
on the inward and not the out
ward appearance.

Sheriff Harry Williamson Gets
Initiated To The Job Os Sheriff
Soon After Assuming His Office
Just after Sheriff Harry Wil
liamson got elected and took
office as Sheriff of Bryan
County he was patrolling the
section near Blitchton late at
night on Tuesday, April 27,
when he noticed a car with
three young men in it, and
after keeping an eye on them,
saw them go to the Southland
Oil Station just beyond Blitch
ton and break in, enter the
building and secure what they
wanted and when they got back
outside of the building, they
ran into the arms of our new
Sheriff, who immediately load
ed them up and brought them
to the Bryan County jail to
await action by the Courts.
But lo and behold they got
out of our “escape proof” jail,
in a manner that seemed im
possible, and due to a condition
that has existed since the jail
was built. First some time ago
the keys to the cell block had
been lost, and the individual
cell, although locked was con
trolled by the main cell block
that was made to keep both the
white and colored cells locked
again inaddition to each cell
being what they thought was

securely fastened. But these
young men got out of their cell,
and they had discovered an en
trance to the ceiling, which was
supposed to have been locked,
but in fact never had been, and
they went up through this and
got out on the ceiling of the
court house by descending a
rope made up of sheets and
blankets.
As soon as their escape was
discovered Sheriff Williamson
got busy, they got out on the
20 and was caught in South
Carolina on the 23 and was
back in the Bryan county jail
on the 24th. Which we consider
fast work for a brand new
Sheriff. All places are securely
locked now, and new keys have
been made for the missing ones,
and it is thought that these
young bullies will be there when
Court needs them.
The trio arrested were,
George Ellis Grooms, 19, John
Allen Grooms, 17, brothers and

of Savannah, and all of whom
have previous records.

Celebrate Wedding Club Members
Anniversary Sat. Attend Meet
Mr. and Mrs. Frank O. Mill
er, having reached their 49th
year in “double harness,” that
is of married life on Saturday,
May 4th, will celebrate the
event this coming Saturday
evening at Charlies Lounge at
Richmond Hill with the fami
ly and less than a half dozen
close friends.
To start with it is a big day
in the life of the two of us, and
not knowing whether the two
will make the next year, we
insisted on having a “little af
fair” this year, and if the good
Lord spares the two of us for
another year, then we are go
ing to put on a Golden Anni
versary Celebration that will
make the headlines.
We have selected 4 couples,
to dine with us at our favorite
eating place, Charlies Lounge
at Richmond Hill. We just wish
that we were able to open the
“lot gate” and tell all of our
friends, and we believe there
are many of them scattered
from the “Hills of Habersham
to Tybee Light,’ ’to come, eat
and celebrate with us. But not
knowing just what fate holds
for us in the months ahead we
are taking time by the fore
lock and will celebrate in a
small way our 49th wedding
anniversary.
