MAN DETERMINES
HIS ETERNAL
DESTINY
PSALM 73
This Psalm contrast the end
of the wicked with that of the
righteous. Oftimes, in our
everyday outlook on life we be
come fretful and discouraged.
We see the actions of the
wicked and then say, “what’s
the use of even trying.” The
psalmist is in this same de
spondent mood. He is in a key
position to see all that is taking
place in the kingdom of Israel.
He aptly describes the wicked
and their prosperity in the land
of his day. His description is
quite adequate and fits the
wicked even of our day. The
psalmist tells us they are never
plagued like other men. They
live on the fat of the land and
they are covered in violence to
obtain their end. They do not
care for their fellow-man and
will step on anyone to fulfill
the desires of their hearts. The
wicked even scoff at God and
say in their hearts, “How doth
God know? And is there
knowledge in the most high?"
Surely, God does know and He
is the source of all knowledge
The wicked might prosper
while here on the earth for a
season, but in the end of the
wicked will have to meet God
face to face. Then the folly of
the wicked will be made known,
and God’s day of reckoning
will be a justified judgment
pronounced upon them.
The man who tries to live in
the center of the will of God
will receive the benefits of the
reward of eternal life. On that
day. God will judge man by
what is in his heart, and He
will know the truth. God will
say, “Well done thou good and
faithful servant, thou hast been
faithful in a few things and
now I will make you ruler over
much, enter thou into my King
dom.” Then God will say to the
wicked, “Depart from me for I
never knew you.” Then the
wicked will be cast into outer
darkness, never to enjoy the
blessings and the presence of
God. God cannot be blamed for
the eternal destiny of man.
Man determines, for himself,
where he will spend eternity.
Do not be caught lacking, when
weighed in the balance of God’s
scales of justice.

ANNOUNCES FOR
STATE SENATE AS
REPUBLICAN
till
CLEVE FOUNTAIN
Mayor Cleve Fountain an
nounces his candidacy for Sen
ator of the Third Senatorial
District on the Republican
ticket.
Mayor Fountain is 36 years
of age and married to the for
mer Sadie Tillman. They have
three daughters: Diane, Denise,
and Dale. He is a native of
Ware County and was reared in
Chatham County. He was edu
cated in the Savannah public
schools and he is a graduate of
South Georgia College, the Cin
cinnati College of Emblaming,
and attended the Gilbert E.
Johnson Law School for three
years. He is the owner of
Fountain Funeral Home and is
a general agent with the United
Family Life Insurance Com
pany. He is a Steward of the
Port Wentworth Methodist
Church, a member of the
Shrine, a Mason, Elk, Giddeon,
Woodmen of the World, Ameri
can Legion Post No. 184, Pres
ident of the Chatham County
Municipal Association, and a
former U. S. Army Officer.
He was the former Port
Wentworth Clerk of Council,
Registrar and Treasurer, and is
the present Mayor of Port
Wentworth. During his admin
istration, the City of Port
Wentworth has purchased and
up-graded the Port Wentworth
Water and Sewer system, has
extended a massive paving pro
gram, lowered the tax millage
rate for the City of Port Went
worth, and is securing a retire
ment plan for the City em
ployees.
In qualifying, Mr. Fountain
states, “The people have allow
ed me to work in many capa
cities as their public servant, of
which I have done to the best
of my ability. I did not sudden
ly decide to become a candidate
for a Senator because my many
friends have urged me to of
fer. I have worked, studied, and
displayed my talents and intia
tive as a public servant over
the years in order to ask the
people to allow me to serve
them in the humble position as
their Senator. I could speak
with regards to what I stand
for; however, talk is cheap, as
action speaks louder than
words. You, the people, have
observed my political ability
over the years. You have drawn
opinions and conclusions as to
whether I have represented my
constituents in the past. I have
never made any political prom
ises to my given segment and
don’t intend to do so now. I can
say I will represent the people,
as this Third Senatorial Dis
trict seat is for the people, by
the people, and of the people.”
Mr. and Mrs. Grover Den
mark have as their guests for
a few days Mr. and Mrs. Ar

TO THE VOTERS
OF BRYAN COUNTY
I wish to thank the voters
who supported me in the recent
election. I feel sure that they
did so because of their real
concern for their children and
welfare of the County.
I never paid as much as a
penny or made a gainful prom
ise for a vote. My only promise
was to bring complete fairness,
honesty and integrity to the of
fice with the people taking a
more active part in the future
plans for their schools. My
philosophy is that the school
system is the heart of the com
munity and the mold of the fu
ture and should consider the
welfare of the children first by
providing the best educaiton
possible.
I certainly have no hard feel
ing towards those who voted
not to make a change at this
time. I share much of the blame
because I feel sure over half of
the voters did not know me, or
not very well, and were sincere
in their effort to do what they
thought was best.
Sincerely,
William B. Mock

Grand Old Man
While we were away from
Pembroke for a few days fol

He is one of those truly fine

into the Gatch family. He likes

of him.
We plan on going back over
there in October when his
church will have a Revival
meeting and wind up the Re
vival with Homecoming Day
and dinner on the ground. We
are going to fast for several
days before we go, so we can
really put away the “vituals.”
