You Can Bring an Industry to Honey Grove
Don't look shocked because it's
true. At least you can help keep
Honey Grove progressing and di-
versifying its activities so a slack
in one Industry won't paralyse the
city.
Industries searching for plant,
locations send "site sleuths" or de-
tectives to visit various towns.
Among the items they notice are
the appearance of the downtown,
the general upkeep of the resi-
dential area.
At the moment our economy is
expanded and new plant sites are
being selected. If our town is to
benefit, we must wash our com-
munity face and get dressed up
for "company." And this exact op-
portunity is coming our way next
week with Clean-Up Paint-Up Fix
-Up. time
This year, redouble your efforts.
It will not only make present day
living more pleasant. It can in-
sure a Job for yourself in the fu-
ture. Do your part to develop our
city. Clean-Up, Paint-Up and Fix-
Up.
Be a partner In Honey Grove's
future. Soon you'll see people
helping to Clean-Up, Paint-Up,
Fix-Up our town. This is when
every member of every family
helps to beautify. It's fun work-
ing together doing something im-
portant, and the start can be
made right at home.
We know you are interested in
making Honey Grove a cleaner,
more attraotive town, so put your
best foot forward, get in tune
with the season and spruce up
your home, yard, business or of-
fice. Get rid of that dirt and ool-
lect trash and debris from cellar
to attic and let's do a real Clean-
Up Job.
In order to arouse the interest
of all Honey Grove haa been di-
vided into zones with a chairman
appointed for each zone to can-
vass the neighborhood and ex-
plain how and when the trash will
be picked up.
To make this campaign a suc-
cess it is essential that we have
your wholehearted support. We
are confident that each citizen will
pledge to do their part in their
own neighborhood for a cleaner,
healthier and happier place In
which to live.
A Plea For Cooperation
There's one thing we can all be
unanimous on and that's a clean
up campaign of our entire city,
which Is the first step toward
good health and an attractive
town. Since all of the organizat-
ions are a hundred percent for it
will be a mammoth job to get it
done.
First of all every home, and
that goes for the colored and
white working together, cutting
all the weeds, cleaning their yards
of all trash, fixing It so It can be
handled conveniently. The city, the
Lion's Club, the Chamber of Com-
merct have kindly offered to haul
It off.
The Garden Club, the P-T A,
the B. & P. W. Club and others
are going to assist In every way
possible.

Re>41l|; Psalm
Lesson for May 5, 1957
mm
THE BIBLE has a plot, take it
ss a whole, as much as any
thriller you ever read. In fact the
Bible is more thrilling, because it
directly concerns each one of the
human rsce. It Is the story of age-
long conflict between Good and
Evil, portrayed as a personal con-
flict between God and Satan, s
struggle for the
control of the
earth sndof man.
The story begins
in a sunny, hope-
ful way. God
makes 9 world,
an unfinished
world but never-
theless beautiful,
and he calls Into
existence Man Foreman
and Woman, to live on this earth,
to beautify and complete it further.
They are to be God's friends and
fellow-workers. But before the
reader quite knows how it hap-
pens, the Serpent appears on the
scene and persuades man that God
is not his friend but his enemy.
So the man rebels against his
Maker, is faithless to his divine
Friend. Philosophers and theolo-
gians have other ways of telling it;
but from the simple picture-stories
of Genesis shines the same double
truth and tragedy: Man Is made
for fellowship with God and other
human beings, lt>ut he has broken
the fellowship, he has turned
against his truest Friend.
Qod Planning
Mysteries darken our knowledge
here. But of some things we can
be sure. One is that God does not
deal with his world and his crea-
tures haphazard. He is a planning
God. Another thing that seems
clear is that man has freedom to
obey God or to disobey; to fit in
with the Plan or to reject it and
the Planner. God could, no doubt,
have made a race of beings who
could not possibly do anything but
right, a race of perfect robots; but
for some reason God chose . to
make man free. One suspects that
the reason is that God would ra-
ther be loved by persons who
would lpve him freely, than to bo
loved by "creatures "wound up,"
so to speak—bound to love him
whether or no. (Would that be real
love?) Another thing that stands
out Is that God is resourceful; in
one sense his Plan can be broken,
when men go contrary to his will.
In another sense men do not break
his Plan, for God appears in Gene-
sis like a wise general who has
more than one plan of strategy—
all pointing to victory.
6ed Rsjsoted
Man is not free unless he is free
to do wrong as well as to do right.
And if he is free to do wrong,
which is a short way of saying
free to go against the will and plan
of God, then he is free to destroy
himself. For the Plan of God for
man, born as it is infinite Wisdom
and Infinite Love, is always for
man's best. For man to resist God,
to Ignore him, scorn him, live by
man-made plans, is to choose the
way of death. Genesis shows dra-
matically how the sin of man
grows worse as a snowball grows
larger—the farther it goes the
more rapidly it grows. Adam's sin
seemed a rather slight thing—then
his son is a murderer, and his
descendants so bad that God could
scarcely xfind one good family
among them. The story in Genesis
is the story of mankind; men pre-
fer their own way to God's way—
the way of hate and conflict rather
than the way of fellowship and
love; and they suffer the judgment
of God; namely that those who
take their own way must accept
the inevitable disaster.
Ood Undefeated '
Many religions know of just and
'righteous gods who have been re-
jected by wicked or careless or
Ignorant men. But the God re-
vealed in the Bible does not act
as the "gods of the gentiles" are
said to act. For man's sin, other
gods may have resentment, venge-
ance, punishment. But these things
leave man as he was, an enemy—
a 'conquered enemy perhaps, but
with rebellion still smoldering in
his soul. Other religions provide
elaborate methods by which men
may pay for their sins—going long
pilgrimages, undergoing self-im-
posed tortures. But the true God
is quite different from the gods
whom men Imagine—a god unde-
feated, infinitely resourceful. He
never gives up his Plan for a peo-
ple In fellowship with him. Men
are changed, saved made''fit to
be God's friends, only by stead-
fast undisoouraged love.
