Fire Destroys House Sunday
Fire destroyed this four room house located on the
Laurens Highway near Lake Thomas around -1:00 a. m.
Sunday. The house was occupied by Mrs. I/ois Whaley
and her three children. It was owned by A. L. Neighbors
of Rt. 2, Laurens. A neighbor, who aided Mrs. Whaley in
saving a few articles of furniture, said that the fire
started in the attic, apparently from defective wiring.
The house was partially covered by insurance.—Photo

EVERYDAY
COUNSELOR
By Bishop Herbert Spaagh
A CALL TO PRAYER
"Never since the time of Christ
has the world faced dangers so
great as now.” So the members
of (he 87th Congress were told by
the late Speaker Sam Rayburn as
they were sworn into office. Peo
pie throughout our country are
being awakened to this danger
and are daily becoming more
apprehensive as to the future of
America.
"This is not a suggestion that
war will come, for the United
States is already at war—and
with a foe whose primary aim is
the destruction of America. Until
recently the people of this coun
try have not attached proper
significance to what is called
‘The Cold War.’ But the fact that
this new type of warfare has en
circled country after country is
beginning to dawn upon the citi
zens of the United States It is a
subtle warfare to gain control of
men’s minds and thus control the
country’s government.
“We are encountering a second
danger. Age-old sin has been
creeping deeper into our lives, un
heralded and without alarm to
many. It has caused a growing
laxness and carelessness in the
lives of our people, and is evi
denced by the lack of concern
over crime; by the way in which
standards have been lowered,
and practices once scorned have
been accepted; by the numbers
I who have their names on church
rolls but who are wanting in faith
and work; by the emphasis plac
ed upon material things rather
than upon the higher and more
noble things of life.
“A group of citizens searching
for a defense against these dan.
gers has claimed God’s promise
as is found in II Chronicles 7:14,
If people, which are called
b\ My name, shall humble them-
-i! es, and pray, and seek my
face, and turn from their wicked
ways; then will I hear from Hea
ven, and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land ’
“This is a promise of God, and
knowing that not one of His
promises has ever failed, this
group has initiated a movement
through which our people are be
ing asked to unite in prayer at
the noon hour each day, wherever
they are, giving thanks to God for
His mercies, confessing their
sins, asking His forgiveness and
praying that He will heal our
land. If these prayers are sincere
we will surely be seeking His face
and under His influence there is
bound to be a turning from our
wicked ways.
"As people become more aware
of the crisis an increasing num
ber are asking this question,
‘What can 1 do?’ Groups sponsor
ing the ‘Cali to Prayer’ are being
organized in their communities
and it is our prayer that this
m o ve m e n t will continue to
spread across our land. You can
have an important part in this
movement by: (1) Uniting with
us in prayer each day at noon.
(2) Widening the circle of prayer
by furthering the cause in your
community.”
