Heard And Seen By POP The WMU's "Poor Man's" supper last Thurday night at the Marshall Baptist Church turned out to be a fine occasion... there was plenty to eat... those Baptist ladies always have plenty of good food to serve... I especially appreciate the corn sticks which Louise Huey and Billie Jean Haynie made for me... (so they say)... Ed Niles, Doug Taylor and I sat around after the supper and talked for 30 minutes about sports in general... Nell Niles came by our table and told Ed and me that there was a little apple pie left and proceeded to bring us some "extra" dessert... Moody Chandler still gets a kick out of telling people about beating me at checkers about 20 years ago well, Moody, I haven't forgotten about it either... The badly needed rain finally came to this area last Friday night... just before the World Series third game started the lightning, thunder and rain began and it sounded good... many WNC areas are in critical need of more rain although this area has not been so desperate... but I can remember well our low water level a few years ago and sympathize with the places which are now badly in need of rain. By jove, some snow, not much, but some snow fell in Marshall Monday mor ning... if you don't believe me, ask John Corbett... he'll tell you it certainly did snow... frankly, I'm not looking forward to slick, icy raods and sub-zero weather but it won't be long now... so the weatherman predicts. Principal David Wyatt, of Madison High, announced this week that students will receive their report cards next Mon day... 'nuff said. Edwin and Mattee Mash burn returned Sunday from an exciting two-weeks trip to Spain, Portugal and Morocco... Mattee came in the office Monday afternoon and told me about some of the interesting highlights of the trip... just to listen to Mattee tell about the wonderful places they saw was exciting... they were accompanied by Mrs. Eugene Bolinger, of Asheville, formerly of Marshall... I'm glad they had such a wonderful trip and it's nice to have them back home again. MRS. BEN FRISBY of Redmon Road, Marshall, is shown with three large pumpkins she grew in her garden. The pumpkin on the left weighed more than 175 pounds and was 48 inches in cir cumference.

SHACKELTON By J.D. SHACKELTON We speak that which we know, and bear witness of that which we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. If I told you earthly things and ye believe not, how shall ye believe if I tell you heavenly things?? JESUS. If psychology is a deter mined effort to find out why men behave the way they do, then the entire field is at a great disadvantage if its in vestigators will not hear the words of Jesus. "But Jesus did not trust Himself unto them, for that He knew all men, and because He needed not that anyone should < bear witness concerning man; for He Himself knew what was in man" (John 2; 24-25). If we accept these words, then we must recognize .that we are dealing with the ultimate Authority on human nature, the One who does understand why men behave as they do. He knows ALL men, and He knows what is in men. That surely is the epitome of all psychological insight. The insight of a great student of human behavior in the Old Testament is reflected in the 139th Psalm: Such knowledge is too wonaenui tor me; 11 is nign, i cannot attain unto it... I will give thanks unto Thee; For I am fearfully and wonderfully Dr. Ditmore Dies Saturday In Switzerland Word was received here Saturday that Dr. Harry B. Ditmore, prominent Marshall physician, died suddenly last Saturday in Switzerland while he and Mrs. Ditmore and other Madison County people were on tour. It was announced Tuesday that his body has been cremated and the remains will arrive here later this week. Further details were unavailable at presstime. A memorial service will be held at the Marshall Presbyterian Church Sunday afternoon at two o'clock. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Pauline R. Ditmore, and two sons, Dr. Dan Ditmore of Boston, Mass., and Dr. Harry Ditmore Jr. of Germany . FESTIVAL OF PRAISE Marshall Presbyterian Church SCHEDULE OF EVENTS: .Oct it made: Wonderful are Thy works... The knowledge that was too high for David was the un derstanding of his own ways. He did not know exactly why he acted and felt as he did or how to change for the better. But he knew that God knew both. One of the essential things for men in pursuit of learning to remember is that there are many things outside the reach of man when he operates by himself. The universe of the seen and felt and reasoned is not the entire universe. The Bible deals with a whole realm of facts outside the limits of scientific enquiry. This universe of unseen things is of utmost importance to man, for it deals with the age-old questions of God, His pur poses, man's place, eternity and the ultimate questions of life and death. These things are written in God's Word, but not all men can read them there because they are clouded over to those who haven't a proper moral relationship to God. As men receive the Bible revelation of their own sin fulness, the "poor in spirit" turn to Christ as Saviour and Lord; and when they do, a whole new insight is given to uiciu as urcj ai c uuiu iiuiu above and their Lord begins to show them heavenly things. This accounts for the basic difference in viewpoint bet ween Christian and non Christian about the nature of man and the value to be placed on earthly things. It also accounts for the notoriously simple solutions Christians offer for what appear to be complex human problems. This is not to say that we do not have complex problems or that each case can be handled with a brief prayer and a Scripture verse. The point is this: Sin is the elemental problem of man, and the root of all his ills. God has the only answer. His answer is Jesus.
