wants us to do it, we must know
what he wants us to do. Then there
is that final, and probably most dif-
ficult step, actually doing it.
The book of James tells us the
difference between real and false
faith is seen in the actions it pro-
duces. If we claim to be followers
of Christ but it does not produce an
on going process of change in our
lives, we could be deceiving our-
selves.
As we contemplate the new year
and all it holds, each one of us need
to examine our lives. As one man
said, "the unexamined life is not
worth living." Wt must make sure
our faith is r<?al, our discipleship
authentic. There is nothing more
important than this. For what is a
man profited, if he shall gain the
whole world, and lose his own
soul?
The Panola County Commis-
sioners' Court will hold a special
meeting at 9 a m. Monday in the
Commissioners' courtroom in the
courthouse.

tributed on the basis of each state's
head count.
Businessesa also find the
information helpful for determining
things such as age groups for a
product market. According to
Norwood, emergency situations
like hurricanes, often call for
census data to estimate the number
that rescue workers, should look
for. * »
"The information is great for
genealogical research, toe," Nor-
wood said.
Norwood also assured that the
information taken in the census is
In preparation for the year 2,(MX)
census. Panola County residents
may already be getting visits from
census workers who are trying to
establish address listings for the
government’s biggest head count to
date. ' /
Suzanne Norwood, a community
partnership specialist with the Bu-
reau of the Census Tyler office,
gave an update on the census
progress at a recent Carthage Noon
Lions Club meeting.
Norwood noted that the census
has been taking place since 1790
when George Washington ordered
that one be taken. He placed
Thomas Jefferson in charge of the
massive.undertaking and Jefferson
delegated the job to U.S Marshalls.
The population numbered sonic 3*
million in the fledgling country's
first reckoning.
Some Panola County residents
may have noted that census work-
ers have already been in their
neighborhoods. Norwood ex-
plained that they are doing the pre-
liminary work of making sure their
address lists match the actual
homes in the area.
Homes with street addresses .
will receiBfc a form by mail in
March of 2^000. Rural addresses
will receive a personal visit.
Norwood also noted that one in six
homes will receive a long form
which has some 34 questions.
"I really encourage businesses
and civic groups to help us spread
the word about how important par-
ticipation in the census is," said
Norwood. "If you can encourage
participation through your com-
pany newsletters or through bank
statements, we would really appre-
ciate it."
Norwood pointed out the census
data is used for the apportionment
of congressional seats and for the
distribution of federal funds. She
said that federal funding is dis-
Words For Winners
The central issue in discipleship
is that of control. Who is going to
be in control of my life? Me or Je-
sus? There is no question as to
what the scripture says. Jesus tells
us in Matthew 16:24-27 that real
discipleship in giving ourselves
totally to him, he says the disciple
must "lose his life for my sake.
This is all well and good,
something most of us only want to
hear about on Sunday. But the di-
rect truth here is that real disciples
live a life that is totally, absolutely
and unconditionally under his con-
trol. That means our own agendas,
our own lives, our own opinions
are all subordinated to his. This in-
volves every minute of every day
of our lives. Il involves our actions
and our altitudes. It involves our
motives and our money. It involves
every area of our lives.
Many people who think of
themselves as good Christians have
never come to terms with the real-
ity of this strident demand Christ
made on our lives. It goes beyond
this understanding that he wants
absolute control. It means that we
must be familiar enough with his
word,'the Bible, that we know what
he wants us to do. In other words, it
is not enough to know that he

"During the confinement of
Japanese Americans in World War
II, some agencies tried to get more
mformaition from census data, but
the Supreme Court said 'no,'" Nor-
wood asserted.

genealogical purposes.
Norwood concluded. "During

public to improve those figures."
