Wilson 1 bu rg and graduated from Wofford “To Whom Are You Turning In This Hour?” This is the title of an editorial which appeared ten years ago in the Tupelo (Miss.) Daily Journal. It made a great impres sion on me. and I kept it. It wad true then and is even more true now “It is dear now to everyone that (he suicide of civilization is in prog ress. What yet remains of it ks no longer safe It is still standing be cause it wiKi not exposed loathe de structive pressures wdiich over whelmed the rest, but. like the rest, it is built upon rubble, ana the next landslide will very Ukely carry it away. “These prophetic words were written 27 years ago by one of the greatest Christian missionaries in the world, namely, Albert Schweitz er. History has proven the truth of this utterance. “Where can wo turn for a solu tion to the present crisis? Is Tru man big enough to handle the job? Is anyone in Washington or London or Paris big enough to handle the! job? ‘We are being realistic, not pes simistic. when we say that we do not behove that there is any one man or any group of men alive who can meet die challenge of this hour. We are simply beyond human help “Who can save us from this val ley of death - ’ God can Only God 1 can do so But God does not save 1 men just so they can enjoy the ma terial comforts, the security and the freedom of the American way of life ■v?- “If we are to be aanod, wt must follow the prafram that Jesus brought when he came preaching Repentance and BeheL And when we any repentance, we do not mean verbally saying, ‘We are sor ry 1 that we are in such a mess, please help us get out so that we can go back to business as usual.’ “Repentance is TURNING TO GOD. It is turning from seeking the things of the world to seeking the things of God. As Paul says, it is a change from the mind to the flesh to the mind of Christ. “Until the American people are willing to turn to their Heavenly Father, as the prodigal son turned to his father, we cannot expect God to come out and meet ik and welcome us home. “But if we do turn from ‘our way’ and follow ‘God’s way’ we can be sure that God will hear and He will help. Repentance is the starting point but Belief in God is the abid ing principle by which we must live. “We wish we could be as sure :hat the American people will turn to God as we are that God will help us if we honestly and com pletely turn to Him and follow Christ No- one of us can change the American people. But the King dom of God comes into the world WHENEVER and WHEREVER ONE person itllows tied to com pletely reign in his heart. “Tlie greatest service to you, as an individual, can render to Ameri ca in this hour of evias is for you IF YOU DO NT READ THE CHRONICLE YO'T DO NT GET THE NEWS PHONE 74 to get right with God.” This is a newspaper editor writ ing and not a minister. A similar call was written buDdrsds of years ago in the Bible (I Chronicles 7:14), .A “11 my people, which are called by My name, shall bumble them selves, end pray, and seek My face, and turn from Stair wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive Swhr sm, and wtt heed their tend.” Km is fhe anoat powsrtul edito rial I have read on oer prsesat situation. ^ Jerry Wing Mrs T V Wingo < 2) rh.viit Kesler • hddress <2 Chocolate cream."

But every so often, statistics relate a story—a story worth reading. Some twenty odd years of statistics can easily be woven into an interesting yarn about the progress of one of I^aurens County’s biggest industries, the Laurens Elec tric Cooperative, with headquarters in Laurens. Y HE STATISTICS of Laurens Electric tell more than just the progress of a home-owned, home-controlled industry. ’They proclaim a tribute to 8,096 citizens of Laurens, Greenville, Spartanburg, Newberry, and An derson counties. These fine people, many of them on your Christmas card list as friends, business associates, fellow church members and all proud citizens of Clinton and other nearby towns and communities, have invested their time and money and staked their reputation on the future of South Carolina by Inyrrowing money at interest to build Laurens Electric Co operative. Q IT WHAT about the statistics? You might start with the smallest statistics of all, a pathetic three per cent. Actually less than three per cent of the rural citizens of the counties served by Laurens Electric had central station electricity 21 years ago when the Laurens Electric Ooopera- was organized. Today over 97 per cent of our rural people enjoy magical living better electrically— thanks in most part to the Laurens Electric Coop. ^55! Q Some 8,0% families, churches, rural business firms, schools and industries now depend on Laur ens Electric Co-Op power. On a statewide scale, more than one-fourth of all South Carolina’s fine citizens use low-cost electric cooperative power from their own private power companies. Each family, church, school, industry or farm connected by Laurens Electric’s 1,920 miles of lines is an equal shareholder in this fine corporation with each profitably benefiting from its dedicated service. m EMBER-OWNERS of Laurens Electric Co-Op are not the only people that have benefitted from its sustained 21 years of South Carolina progress. This ‘‘Partnership Power for Palmetto Progress.” has been felt with a resounding ring all up and down the main streets of Clinton. An estimated $17,000,000 has been spent with local merchants for electrical 1 ”” appliances and labor-saving devices alone. What’s more, Laurens Coopera tive shareholders spend some $8,500 weekly for new appliances and equip ment in this area with the market growing every day. What’s more, Laur ens Electric’s annual payroll exceeding $135,000 adds further to local econ- J OME FINAL statistics: Laurens Electric represents an investment of over $4,000,000. South Carolina’s 24 independent electric co-ops have cost some $80,000,000. They’ve already repaid their banker over $22,000,- 000 including over $9,000,000 in interest. Laurens Electric, like all electric co-ops in South Carolina pays its own way in the finest tradition of democ- racy at work and private enterprise at its South CaroHn* best. “WHERE THE CO-OP POWER LINE GOES.
