“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.”

About
9 Statistics!
RDINARILY, statistics are dull .. . uninteresting. 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.
