City officials found out first
hand there's nothing like country
music after taking part in a concert
here Sunday evening- well, sort of.
Mayor Jim Worrall and
councilmembers Hervia Ingram,
Charles Lewis and James Moore
actually donated their time by
taking up tickets at the Trisha
Yearwood concert held at the
Georgia National Fairgrounds.
The concert, tabbed as the
"Flood Relief Concert ’94", was
attended by more than 10,000
people who braved early rains and
winds for a chance to see their
favorite performer.
Yearwood, a Monticello native,
came back to her native state to
help Georgians whom she said "was
devastated" by the storm. The
country star, with such hits as
"She's In Love With The Boy", and
"The Woman Before Me". Michelle
Treptow, a spokesperson for the
Georgia Agricenter, reported this
week that an estimated $50,000 was
raised for the concert. All proceeds,
Treptow said, will be contributed to
the American Red Cross.

Westfield 'class of 74' holds reunion
By JIMMY SIMPSON
Staff Writer
It had been 20 years since the
group formally gathered to discuss
old times, but members of the
"Class of 1974" at Westfield
Schools seemed to pick up right
where they left off at the start of a
three-day reunion this past
weekend.
A reception was held at
Westfield Schools on Friday,
followed by a Saturday pool party
with family. Later that evening, at
Houston Lake Country Club,
classmates were served dinner
Clean Hearts Are ‘Happy’
Hearts on road to heaven
“Blessed are the pure in heart:
for they shall see God”
(Matthew 5:8).
Pure is defined as sincere,
unfeigned, upright, virtuous,
void of evil. Purity includes (1)
the absence of the corrupt, and
(2) the presence of the pure.
The heart is the center of our
spiritual life and being. It is
that inward part of man which
includes mind and soul with all
their parts - affections, motives,
intents and purposes. Therefore,
according to the nature and
character of the heart, we shall
see the character of the life and
actions.
The heart may be compared to
a reservoir which supplies a
large city with water for its
population. The water is carried
by thousands of pipes.
If the water in die reservoir is
pure, it will be carried in its
purity through the pipes to the
inhabitants; but if it is dirty and
impure, it will be dirty and
impure when it arrives at the
house. The heart is the reservoir
from which life flows.
The mouth, hands, feet, and
actions are the pipes through
which it flows. If the heart is
pure, cleanness will be seen in
life, word, and deed. The pure in
heart correlates to the secret
purity of the soul. Purity is not

only the absence of evil, but is
also the addition of good.
I believe the clean and pure
heart is its own reward. But
Jesus did not leave it there for
He promises that the pure in
heart shall see God. I am sure
this is not a sight the
unrepentant or impure man
would enjoy.
Christian, you shall see God
in the day of the Lord, but you
also see God now. You see God
in all His works. You see God
in the means of grace. You see
God in providential events.
Blind Fanny Crosby was able
to write, “Some day the silver
cord will break, and I no more as
now shall sing; But oh, the joy
when I shall awake, within the
palace of the King! And I shall
see Him face to face.”
