Trio named to UT
spring honor roll
The College of Busi-
ness Administration at
The University of Texas
at Austin named 1,203
students to its 1982
Spring Semester honor
roll. Among them were
James Fredrick Huitt and
Herbert Elwyn Ressler of
Palacios, also Kelly Re-
nee Jalutka of Blessing.
To qualify for the busi-
ness administration hon-
or. a student must have
carried 12 or more sem-
ester hours of graded
work, passing all course,
and have compiled at
least six hours of A above
a B average in all courses

"What is truth?” This was asked by Pilate in
response to Christ’s statement, "Everyone that is of
the truth heareth my voice." (John 18:37,38). Not
only did Christ express trnthr he is truth! (John
14:6). He is the embodiment of truth. Satan is the
embodiment of falsehood and error.
Truth is an elusive thing, yet, all-should seek after
it. To so do is the noblest occupation of man. One is
wise if he refuses to be deceived by Satam Who
wants to be deceived? Who wants to be cheated,
tricked, or defrauded? Yet this is what occurs when
one follows Satan.
How can one know the truth? How can one know
that he knows the truth? Christ answers: "If ye abide
in my word, then ye are truly my disciples and ye
shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you
free." (John 8:31,32). Again, "Sanctify then in the
truth: thy word is truth.” (John 17:17). The word of
God is truth. It is the precise, definitive, eternal
truth. Today God speaks through Christ and Christ
speaks through his word, the gospel. (Gal 2:5). This
is truth, God’s wonderful, absolute troth!
Man is responsible to know the truth, and to
believe the truth. (2 Thess 2:13). He must obey the
truth. (1 Pet 1:22).-Paul asked, ‘‘Who hindered you
that ye should not obey the truth?” (Gal 5:7). Those
who refuse to obey truth can expect God’s wrath.
(Rom 2:8,9).
• "Buy the truth and sell it not." Eternal salvation
depends on it.
