We would Uke to comment
on some important scripture
concerning "words of life"
Let us look at the Gospel
according to John the third
chapter and the sixty-eight
verse. "Then Simon Peter
answered him Lord, to whom
shall we go? Thou hast the
words of eternal life."

Contained in this passage
of scripture we find the state
ment made by Simon Peter the
spokesman for the twelve dis
ciples "To whom shall we
go?" That Is the question
being harbored In the heart
and mind of millions of people
In this day and age in which
we live.
As the people whom were
following Jesus began id turn
back and forsake him, Jesus
said to the twelve diciples
that has such intimate rela
tion with him "Will you also
go away?" They In turn em
phatically said to him "To
Whom shall we go?" As they
pondered all this in their heart
they were concerned about
life. We all love life and are
also concerned about it, but
generally speaking we are
more' concerned about tem
poral life, and love the physi
cal portion so much that we
forget the most important part
of life.
The disciples said "Thou
hast the words of eternal life."
No where else could they go
and find tha Words of Eter
nal Life. Eternal life could
and can only be found in the
Lord Jesus Christ.
As people of today are
searching and seeking for
peace of mind and satisfaction
they seem to plunge deeper
into confusion and disturbance
disunity, disappointment, dis
respect for their fellow man
and God and finally loss of
life itself. This all takes
place because one is seeking
for the wrong things with the
wrong motive in mind. Now.
peace of mind is good and
should dominate everyone's
life, however this peace can
not be obtained with a selfish
attitude.
Jesus was constantly con
cerned about the welfare of
others. In the light of Him
who possess the Words of
Life, when we put a simple
trust in the Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ we gain the poss
ession and knowledge of the
greatest thing that any man
could ever acquire in a hun

Q. la Matt. 16cU It rttdi,
"And I U?w) My mm torn*.

ibis rock 1 will build ray
church ..." Doaaa't ihla

Son of Cod.
Matthew was inspired by
God. Ha wrote la Greek. The
original Greek a hows the dif
ference "And 1 say unto thee
that thou art Peter (Petros)
and I4?n this rock (petra)
I will build my church."
If the Church waa built upon
Peter It would read " . . and
H?n this rock (petros) 1 will
build my church."
I have rea4 where It has
been said that that makes a
difference because the Lord
spoke Aramaic not Greek. A
person that makes a state
ment like that is denying that
Matthew was Inspired. In fact
they would be saying that the
whole book of Matthew could
not be depended upon and then
they turn around to quote it
to try to prove that the church
was built upon Peter. I have
a debate in my library where
this is done.
Other verses in the New
Testament prove that the
church was not built upon
Peter.
First Cor. 3:11 "For other
foundation can no man lay
than that is laid, which is
Jesus Christ," The church
is built upon Jesus and not
Peter.
Eph. 2:20 "And are built
upon the foundation of the
apostles and prophets Jesus
Christ himself being the chief
corner stone."
Now if Peter was head of
the other Apostles and the
church was built upon him this
verse would say so, but it
doesn't. All the Apostles are
equal In authority. All re
ceived power to bind and loose,

dred earthly lifetimes. Eter
nal Life and it is just what
it ssys: It is Eternal, Ever
lasting, Neverending Life.
With this Eternal Life comes
peaceful seaurlty and happi
ness with a passionate con
cern for the welfare of others.
So the question comes to us
again, .to whom shall we go
for the greatly needed peace
and serenity? The answer is
to him who has the Wor%ls of
Eternal Life. This is not in
worldly fame and publicity or
pride, but in the humble lowly
Nazarene, none other than the
Lord Jesus Christ.
SOLD OUT!
Yes, we have sold out our 2 story and basement building at 226 Hiawassee Street,
In Murphy, to the State Highway Department but ?
We have thousands, AND THOUSANDS, of Dollars of Merchandise that we have NOT
sold; six stories of Hardware and Building Materials In our own building, and the Mercer
Fain Building nearby, ? "just across the tracts."
We must be out of die 226 Hlawassee Building by July 17th, for'at that time the
"wrecking crew" will take over.
We are on a trade to sell our stock of merchandise to a man, or men, who will take over
and continue this Wholesale Business here In Murphy. Murphy needs a Wholesale Hardware
as badly as any place I know. It Is almost 100 miles to the nearest jobbing city.
But in the event this deal Is not consumated, we will carry on the Business just as we
have been doing until about July 4th, at which time we will move the heavy part of the
merchandise remaining into the Mercer Fain Building, and all the other to the three
stores we operate in Georgia.
We are continuing purchases of all fast-moving merchandise, and will do so right
on down to the very last, for with all our sources of outlet, it is not possible for us to
become overstocked with die fast-moving Items; and we will continue to keep our
Salesman out and take orders as usual right down to the closing date.
This process of llquldadon will be very orderly, for we have very little of merchandise
that is not of the best: But we will "ransack" our stocks dally, and will have many
Special BARGAINS at all times, for both the Wholesale and Retail buyers.
Of course, It will be necessary that we confine our credits to those who can pay by
the 10th of each month following date of purchase; and we will appreciate It very much
Indeed If those who owe us past-due accounts will let us have payment in full by the
first of July.
I hate to leave Murphy, very much Indeed: The 20 years I have had a business here
have been very happy ones, and my leaving is with a deep feeling of sadness and regret.
But I am leaving you one of my FOUR most precious treasures, and I know you will
treat Marvin with the same consideration, and honor, and love that you have accorded me.
I hope that you will make it a point to visit us many times during the next 9 or 10
weeks, and I assure you that we will do all possible to make it profitable and advantageous
to you to do so.

What is the story behind this "For Sale" sign?
Is it just a house that's for sale, or is this a tale
of happiness or sorrow ? of success or defeat?
Let's hope this story has a happy ending! But
this isn't a world of make-believe we live in. God
made us human beings, not puppets. He has given
us minds and bodies, nerves and muscles ? and
weakness as well as strength.
Maybe the story behind this house is a happy
one. Maybe it's a sad one. Regardless, the people
who lived here, like all of us, will be able to
accept both good fortune and bad if there is yet
another house in their lives.
The House of the Lord, the Church, has been
built to endure through the ages. Here we will
always have a home? during our lives on earth
as well as throughout eternity.
