Congratulations, Hi School Graduates!
TTie 106 seniors who graduate from Murphy High School Thursday
are due congratulations and best wishes for the future. Whether they
enter college or go to work they have gained an independence which
they have looked forward to throughout their school years. Now that
they are on the threshold of that adult world, it may seem a little
uncertain or even frightening to them.
However, the fact that they have successfully completed 12 years
of schooling under the rigorous standards set by H. Bueck and his
associates, the teachers of Murphy schools, is ample evidence that
they have the qualifications for success in the future.
Those 12 years of training were vital to their future success and
happiness, and the next 12 are equally important. Now, their
achievements will depend upon their own individual ambitions and
initiative.
These young people will no longer have teachers to guide them and
give them individual attention. However, they will find that wher
ever they go, there will be people more than willing to lend a
helping hand ot the young person who is willing to work for what
he or she wants.
They will also find that America is still the land of opportunity
and we sincerely hope that they take advantage of it.
Georgia Town Gets A New Industry
There was a story in last Thursday's Atlanta Journal that should
be of interest to Cherokee County folks. It was about how Talla
poosa, Georgia, population 2826, got a new industry.
The folks down there got together and decided they wanted a new
industry. So they contacted one, a rubber company, and got a com
mitment. Then they raised $75,000 among themselves, borrowed
another $100,000 and constructed a 25,000 square foot building, all
within a period of eight months. They'll get their money back from
rentals over the next 15 years.
The plant itself only employs about 30 people and maybe that
seems like an awful lot of money and effort for an industry that
small, however the folks down there didn't feel that way about it.
They knew that 30 new workers in their town means 90 more peo
ple; 34 more households; 17 more school children; $196,000 more per
sonal income per year; 32 more passenger cars registered; 57 more
workers employed; and $120,000 more retail sales per year.
Besides, Tallapoosa's citizens felt that the plant, which manufac
tures a rubber compound, will attract other companies who want to
use its raw materials.
A company spokesman at the formal opening of the plant said
that they had rejected many good sites because the people of the
community did not show enough interest in the new industry.
They picked Tallapoosa, he said, because "any town that wants
new industry like these people did is bound to succeed."

Different as we are in so many
ways, in this way we are all alike.
We need to be saved. To experience

spirit. The statement "Thy f*i th
have saved thee," may also be
of given unity o I mind and
read: "Thy faith hath made thee
whole."
To be saved is as one going down
gasping and despairing, into the
deep watersfor the last time and
being caught by a strong arm; it is
also the emergence from a helter
skelter mass of brick, sand, ce
ment, lumber, tile, glas<, of a
building of lovely symmetry and
worth.
Salvation can be gained in only
one way. "There is no other name
under heaven given among men,"
the apostle declared, "Whereon you
must be saved." Their word still
holds good. Jesus Christ is the
only name. His purpose in coming
was to rescue people from sin and
its miseries, death and utter loss.
"Thou shall call his name Jesus,"
was the word of the angel to Jos
eph, "because he shall save his
people from their sins". "The Son
of Man came," declared the Mast
er in the home of Zaccheus, to
seek and to save that which was
lost."
We are not being narrow in in
sisting there is no other way, but
realistic. "There is one Mediator
between God and men, Himself the
Man Christ Jesus." So dire is our
condition, so sinful our natures, so
hopeless our lot that God alone can
deliver. Rightly should we pray
with Jeremiah: "Hail me, O Lord,
and I shall be healed; save me,
and I shall be saved."
Christ saves by the perfect, ob
edient life He lived; by the word
of wisdom He spoke, by the sacrifi
cial death He died, by rising again,
by ruling over us and praying for
us. At times God's way of salvat
ion is explained in shallow fashion;
in content it is far richer than oft
en we imagine. We are saved b>
the death of Christ, yes; but we are
also saved by His life. "If we were
reconciled to God by the death of
his Son," Paul declared, "much
more .... shall we saved by his
life." "He is able ... to save those
who draw near to God through
Him," we read in Hebrews, "since i
He always lives to make interces
sion for them." (RSV)
God saves, but we must receive 1
salvation. "By grace you are sav- i
cd", all of God-but "through
faith," that we must exercise. Sal 1
vation costs us nothing, being j |
God's free gift, but it costs us our i
very lives. For when he receive c
we give. To accept Christ's Cross, i
Those He saves become His ser <
vants, His bond-slaves. Cross is the <
means to take up one's own.

time, that we are just about as
close to another war as it is safe
to be. As all of us know, another
war might be disasterous, ont only

in our own country could easily de
stroy in less than 10 minutes more
than we have built up in the last 50
years, though I don't think that
any nation could ever actually con
quer our spirit.
Now, something very interest
ing and very vital? vital directly to
you and me? has happened a few
weeks ago. A number of outstand
ing Europeans for many, many
years have worked on the idea of
the United States of Europe,
fashioned in a certain way after
our own country. There are in
Western Europe a number of coun
tries who have an old civilization,
technical knowhow and a fairly
high standard of living; democra
on the life committed to him.
In later treatments in "The Word
of Life" we shall look at from
what we are saved, and to what.
But for now the question is: Have
you made sure of this experience

saved" as receiving the Saviour,,
saying "Yes" to Him, giving
Christ in our lives the complete
right-of-way.

cies somewhat similar to what w?
have in this country, though not
at all alike. The intelligent, for
ward-looking and selfless states
men in these countries have felt for
a. long time that unless Europe
ufiites and becomes one, that more
blood yet will flow for needless
wars in Europe.
After all, if you look at the map
of the world, you can see that Eu
rope, composed of a numper of
little independent countries, pop
ulated by about 400 million people,
is only the appendix of the vast
continent of Asia, and the largest
part of Asia today is communistic.
You might be interested to know
that a few hundred years ago a fel
low called Genghis Khan brought
havoc, destruction and bloodshed
to the whole vast piece of land
from Mongolia to the very edge of
what is now called Europe. There
has always been, it seems, some
thing bloodthirsty in that Asian
part of the world.
This little appendix of Asia, Eu
rope, is not in the fortunate posi
tion we are ? to have 3,000 miles
of water between itself and possi
ble aggressors.
I think one can safely say that we
would not have had World War I
an World War II if we had had a
United States of Europe. Now this
wonderful dream has not become
a reality, but a first step in the
right direction was made a few
weeks ago when six European
countries, France, Belgium, Germ
any, Italy, Holland and Luxem
bourg, signed an agreement in
Rome to' undertake the first steps
for a United States of Europe. A
long range goal of the signatories
it to create something very simi
lar to the United States of Ameri
ca, to take away all the barriers,
customs, differences, different
governments, courts and parlia
ments, and make them one. This is
the great chance, the golden op
portunity, for our country to help
create peace forever on this earth.
