Confidence In God
Psalm 61
When we covenant with God,
we are obligated to perform
our vows daily. We often think
that God will continue to be
with us, even if we are not
faithful to Him. To have com
plete confidence in God re
quires of us a noble faith and
a heart filled with love. We
often express our faith and
love in word, but not in deed.
Again, we must be mindful that
oral expression is not enough.
Our confidence in God needs to
be deeper and stronger. When
we have a noble faith, we live
and do those things which are
in accordance with the will of
God. When we do this, then
God is very close to us and our
confidence in Him can become
stronger each day. We will be
lifted up when the world seems
to overwhelm us. We shall be
led to that Rock which is high
er than our greatest expecta
tions. This Rock is none other
than Jesus Christ, our Lord and
Saviour. Jesus has macle it even
more possible for us to have
complete confidence in the God
of our salvation. He has made
the heart of God the Father
known to man. If Christ is our
Saviour, then we should have
confidence ; . God, who will de
liver us.
David had faith and trust in
the Lord. He knew that God
could and would deliver him at
all times. He could rejoice in
God because he walked and com
muned with Him daily. Walking
and communing with God was
a daily blessing in which David
rejoiced. He knew God and his
confidence was complete in the
Lord. God was David's Refuge
and strength. David could con
fide in God and pour his heart
out to Him. God would hear
and instruct David as to what
should be done in the strength
ening of his life. David would
commune with God at all times
of the day. The place where
David was, was no factor in
this communication. This was
the blessed privilege which God
had given to David and David
used, but would not abuse this
privilege. It is good to have
confidence in God as David had ।
confidence in the Lord.

Bryan County Getting Set For
Red Hot Races For Practically
Every Office In The Court House
Up to the latest information we have there has been many
to offer their services to Bryan County as a “servant of
the people”, but so far “few” have placed their announce
ment in our paper, therefore we are going to try and help
them keep their candidacy a secret until they announce
in the paper. For if they fail to announce in our paper we
are going to cooperate with them.
As of today it looks as if the Clerks job is the most
attractive in the Court ouse, already two have paid their
fee of S4OO in this race.
The candidates for Senator and Representative have to
qualify in Atlanta with the State Democratic Committee, their
fee has been set at S4OO.
Journal Editor And His Son-In-Law
W. 0. Lee Elected To Head The
First District Press Association
Saturday night at the quar
terly meeting of the First Dis
trict Press Association at the
Club House at Scarboro, Geor
gia, W. O. (Bill) Lee was elect
ed as President and the editor
of The Pembroke Journal, his
father-in-law was elected as
Vice President, which came as
a surprise to both of those
elected to head the Association
for the next year. Mrs. Joyce
Odom, of The True Citizen of
Waynesboro was elected Secre
tary-Treasurer.
This meeting with the Millen
News as the host newspaper
was one of the best we have
ever attended. There was a
large attendance, there was
loads of good food, and the set
ting was delightful, at a Club
House right on the banks of
the Ogeechee. Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Edenfield of the Millen
News had some of the finest
Ogeechee Red Breast, prepared
fit for a king, plus fish chow
der, and hush puppies, with
some of the most delicious corn
bread we ever ate, with salads,
pie and all the other necessities
for a delightful meal.
At the conclusion of the meal
the meeting went into session
and there was much discussion
of the problems we are all fac
ing today, and we are sure that
many of us were greatly bene
fitted over the way that some
told us how to overcome some
of our troubles. It was great
to meet and eat with a fine
crowd of fellow publishers.
Editor Frank O. Miller invit
ed the Association to hold their
Augusta meeting in Pembroke,
and the invitation was immedi
ately accepted. We are going to
keep pace or outdo the little
town of Scarboro Saturday
night.
Poor Peoples
March Through
Bryan Unnoticed
Due to the publicity that
thousands of poor people would
come through Bryan on their
way to Savannah, and then on
to Washington had caused
many to wonder just what
might happen and what it
would look like. Ye Editor
went to Bl itchton to catch a
glimpse of the “poor peoples
march” and all we saw was,
some busses “high tailing” it
towards Savannah, and passed
through Blitchton much like “a
freight train passing a tramp.”
Our local people showed very
little if any interest. Just how
many will ever get to Washing
ton and what they will accom
plish is more than we can say.
But we all know that for gen
erations, the poor people, both
white and colored has caught
hell and it has been a struggle
for many of them to make the
grade.
If those going there act as
they should, it is possible that
the poor people will be bene
fitted, and in this world of
plenty, it is nothing but right
for all of our people, of all
races and creeds have the
necessities of life.

Highlights Os
Mayors Trip To
Capital City
Last Wednesday afternoor
after having gotten The Journ
al mailed, we loaded up in the
faithful Pontiac, and the May
or and Mrs. Miller set out for
Atlanta, on business, pleasure,
to See some baseball and to
visit with the Jim Rodgers
family out in Decatur.
We made the trip to the
Rodgers home in less than 4
hours, and soon was headed out
to the Stadium to see a ball
game, along with Mr. and Mrs.
Jim Rodgers and their two
handsome little daughters, and
see a game we did, it was be
tween the Braves and Phila
delphia and ran for 14 innings,
and the Braves came out on the
losing end. Then back to De
catur and the Rodgers home
where we went to bed, but was
being called early Thursday
morning, soon we were out and
going. We stopped only long
enough in the middle of the
day for a hamburger and a milk
; shake, then back seeing people
about our affairs back in Pem
broke. We made progress, and
met a friendly co-operation of
all that we visited.
Then back to the Rodgers
home, where our good friend
Jim Rodgers insisted on the
Millers along with friends of
theirs and who through the
past years has been the Millers
friends, and are among our
most enthusiastic subscribers,
and say they enjoy Bills ad
along with everyone else in
the paper, Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Skiene, and we went to the
Parliament House where we
were guests of the Rodgers to
one of the most delightful meals
ever. It was complete with
everything the heart could wish
for, then Jim Rodgers who is a
young man, compared with the
Mayor said that he was going
to return home and go to bed,
for he was not as young as the
Mayor, but he left and the rest
went out to the ball game.
Mr. Rodgers had a fine home
here that he sold to Mr. and
Mrs. Robert Neal, near the TV
Station, when Mr. Rodgers was
in charge, but he left here and
returned to Decatur, where he
was with the State Board of
Education. He is now with
Ampex, a big company out of
San Francisco, and if our eyes
and ears does not fool us, he
is a “big dawg” with the out
fit, has a brand new Ply
mouth station wagon furnished
him by the Company that has
everything on it that the heart
could wish for, and the Com
pany pays the gas, oil, and
keep for this fine car, and told
him to use it as a family car
or in anyway he wished. The
Rodgers already owned two late
mode] Pontiacs that was loaded
with all the “high saluting”
accessories.
Mrs. Rodgers worked with
Journal while they were here,
and it was then that we became
the best of friends.. Mrs. Rodg
ers evidently felt sorry for the
little “country editor,” for un
known to us she took our Ponti
ac and filled it with gas, prob
ably saw that it was standing
on empty and was looking out
for us, because she had been
hearing so much about the
Poverty March, she did not
want her friends to have to
connect up with this outfit,
