Along The Pathway
Hardy-Daniels Engagement
Mrs. Elaine Hardy of Greenville and Dennis Earl Hardy Jr. of
Albany, Ga., announce the engagement of their daughter, Jamie
Elaine, to William Bray Daniels Jr., son ofMr. and Mrs. Willaim Bray
Daniels Sr. of Jamesville. An April 2 wedding is planned.
Along the pathway of life we
have many storms and worries
that accompany the storms. The
storms of nature bring much con
cern. When the rain storms come,
there are many people that have
to seek shelter wherever they can
find It When the snow storms
come, there are many who do not
have enough frjel to keep them
warm, though they are sheltered
from the storm.
Wind storms leave many peo
ple homeless each year, with no
choice but to brave the storms of
life and make a new start. Hail
storms, along with the wind, tear
up and destroy many crops and
leave farmers destitute and
wondering how they will make
ends meet. Looking at the snow
blanketing our area recently
makes me think of many diffe
rent storms and the hardships
that follow.
There is a place we can anchor
our hopes when the storms of life
assail us. That place is the Lord
Jesus Christ. He will never fail
us. He told us to cast all our cares
upon him because he cares for
us. He is concerned about every
thing that touches our lives. If we
put our trust in him, he will meet
our every need. There is no need
too great for him to meet. He is
the master of the impossible
made possible. He specializes in
the impossible.
Take a look at the time the
apostle Paul was shipwrecked.
He knew whom he had trusted
and because of his prayers and
obedience to the Lord, there was
nota soul lost on that ship. Take a
look at Acts 27:31. They had to
abide In the ship. If we want to
make it we have to abide in the
lifeboat also. That lifeboat is no
other but the Savior that came to
this world, bom as the poorest of
them and died on the cross
paying a debt he did not owe. He
paid a debt we owed and could
not pay, all because he loved us
that much.
No matter what extent the
storms may be, remember that
Jesus knows about everyone of
them. He may not save you flrom
every storm, but if you trust him
he will save you in the greatest
storm. It is better to be in the
storm with him than in the sun
shine without him.
Abide in him and he will keep
you. Bless his name in all you do.
Impossibles are made possibly
by him. Directed in the light that
will never dim. Eternal hope you
can have in him.

The Census
is in the mail
The 1987 Census of Agriculture is coming to a
mailbox near you. Take the time to fill out and
return your Census of Agriculture report form and
return it by February 1,1988. Why?
The Census of Agriculture is vital to our farm
economy.
Farm suppliers use it to make sure the goods
and services you need are there when you need
them. Congress and state legislatures use it to
consider important farm legislation. Farm organi
zations use it. The federal government uses it to
plan farm programs and determine the impact of
farm legislation.
You can use agriculture census data, too. It’s
available at your local and state university libraries.
You’ll find facts and figures about every county in
America. And you can use that information to
better plan your own production and marketing.
You don’t have to be a big operator to be
counted in the Ag-Census. In fact, you don’t even
have to be farming now. But, if you receive an
Ag-Census form in the mail, we want to hear from
you.
So fill out and return your Ag-Census form
early. All the information you give is completely
confidential. That’s guaranteed
by law.
