NEWBORN AND GROWNUPS
? Mr. and Mrs. Boyce Guy's rab
bit pens at their home on N.C. 211
west at the edge of Ashley Heights
had these scenes last Thursday.
The rabbits are purebred Rex
breed, but they come in different
colors, as the blacks and whites in
one picture proves. The other
photo shows infant Rexes only
hours old. Mrs. Guy found the
eight infants at 8:30 a.m. Thursday
when she went to the pens. She
said they were born during the
night. The Guys also raise other
breeds of rabbits and are members
of the Cape Fear Rabbit Breeders
Association, which held its 1982
show in Raeford Saturday. The
large white rabbit in the lower right
corner of the photo of the
grownups is checking one of Mr.
and Mrs. Guy 's chickens. (Photos

LAW For Laypersons
Suicide as a criminal offense was
abolished by North Carolina's
General Assembly in 1973.
By abolishing suicide as a crime,
the General Assembly in effect also
abolished the crime of attempted
suicide which had been recognized
in an earlier North Carolina
Supreme Court case.
No criminal punishment,
therefore, can result today from
suicide or attempted suicide in
North Carolina.
The successful suicide is thus
buried, arid no more is said or
done. But what about the unsuc
cessful suicide?
What happens to the person who
is found in time and the poison is
pumped from the stomach or the
bleeding from the slashed wrists is
stopped?
The unsuccessful suicide is still
with us, and we cannot ignore him.
If we can't punish the unsuc
cessful suicide, can anything else
be done? Certainly many who at
tempt to commit suicide get help or
support from family and friends.
Others may seek help from
religious counselors, psychologists
or psychiatrists.
The laws of North Carolina pro
vide for some help for the attemp
ted suicide in particular cases.
Chapter 122 of the North
Carolina General Statutes provides
for certain people to be involun
tarily committed for treatment at a
mental health facility.
One section in that chapter pro
vides that anyone who has
knowledge of a mentally ill or in
ebriate person who is dangerous to
himself may appear before a clerk
of superior court or magistrate of
district court and petition that the
person be examined by a doctor.
A person "dangerous to
himself" is defined, among other
things, as a person who has at
tempted suicide or threatened
suicide or as a person who has
mutilated himself or attempted to
mutilate himself.
If the clerk or magistrate finds
reasonable grounds that the allega
tions in the petition are true, then
he must issue an order to a law en
forcement officer to have the per
son picked up and examined by a
doctor.
Once the doctor has examined
the person and found the allega
tions of the petition to be true, the
law enforcement officer must take
the person to a mental health
facility where he will be held until a
full hearing on his case is held by a
judge.
At the hearing, if the court finds
by convincing and cogent evidence
that the person is indeed a mentally
ill or inebriate person who is
dangerous to himself, then treat
ment may be ordered for the per
son at a mental health facility.
The statutory provisions of
Chapter 122 provide for numerous
re-examinations of the person once
he has been committed to the men
tal health facility. If his condition
has improved, he will naturally be
released; if further treatment is
needed, he will be retained.
Sunday School Lesson
Background Scripture:
Luke 3:21 through 4:15.
Devotional Reading:
Luke 3:15-20.
; There are essentially two things
?.that we must understand about the
; temptation of Jesus as recorded in
; Luke 4. The first of these is that
'.they were real temptations.
Lots of people have tended to
1 regard the temptations of Jesus as
tmore of a drama than an actual
temptation, as a setting simply for
a confrontation between Jesus and
Satan. It is hard for these people to
think of Jesus as really being temp
ted.
"Really being tempted" means
more than just having an attractive
offer. It means having a yearning
to accept that offer. Luke wants us
to understand that the temptation
in the wilderness was for Jesus a
real temptation: he not only
perceived the attractive offer from
Satan, but he had some yearnings
to accept that offer. That is why
Luke tells us, "And he ate nothing
in those days; and when they were
ended, he was hungry." His
hunger made the offer from Satan
attractive.
Secondly, we must realize that
the temptations were appealing
because they were so reasonable. A
temptation that is not reasonable is
no temptation at all. Note that all
of the offers that Satan made to
Jesus followed a kind of logic:
Jesus was hungry, so if he was the
Son of God, why not use his power
to save him from collapse from
hunger? There was nothing il
logical about it. Arid when Satan
showed him all the kingdoms of
the world and offered them to
Jesus if he would worship him all
the kingdoms of the world and of
fered them to Jesus if he would
worship him, there was a logic to
that as well. No less logical and
reasonable was the challenge to
prove his Sonship by throwing
himself down from the pinnacle of
the temple. The temptor was call
ing his Sonship into question; was
it not reasonable therefore to at
tempt to prove it?
You and I never have to wonder
if our temptations are real. We
know they are. We know how
reasonable they seem, how logical
their invitation. That is why it is
important for us to know that the
temptations of Jesus were real
temptations, for only thus are we
assured that he can understand
what it means to be attempted.
And because of the way Jesus
responded to his temptor, you and
1 know that we too can resist temp
tations and Find redemption when
we have failed to resist it. Jesus fell
back for support on what he knew
about God. Each time, he said, "It
is written..." and remembered im
portant truths from God that had
been handed from one generation
to another: "Man shall not live by
bread alone," "You shall worship
the Lord your God, and him only
shall you serve," and "You shall
not tempt the Lord your God."
Defeated for the moment, the
devil departed. But he would be
back at an "opportune time." Just
as he returns again and again to us.
