“WHATSOEVER
THINGS”
By DONALD E. WILDMON
A couple of interesting stories
have appeared in print recently.
One was about Mrs. Dorn T.
Rollins of Fort Worth. She
died and left $400,000 to two
dogs and 15 cats. The other
story was about Mrs. Andree
O. Montet of Charlotte, N. C.
Mrs. Montet died and left $200,
000 to two canaries and a fat
tom cat.
Of all the things that these
ladies could have used their
money for to aid and help,
they chose to leave $650,000 to
16 cats, two birds, and two
dogs. William H. Abernathy,
the attorney for Mrs. Montet’s
estate, said he “tried to suggest
other course, but she wanted
this for the pets and it was her
money. ”
Now these stories seem not
only silly, they are ridiculous!
To look about in this world
and see all the people who need
help and could use help and
to see what $650,000 could do,
and then to think that a pair
of ladies could leave that money
to a bunch of animals is ridicu
lous! Sometimes we call this
world we live in a civilized
world, and then sometimes you
wonder if we have not mis
named it.
It is a real tragedy that
these ladies could not have
b^en touched by a Carpenter
who was a Nazarene. They
would not have died lonely like
th°y d'd and they could have
found a place where their mon
ey could have made friends for
her even in her death. But the
story remains the same—they
died, as we all must, and the
best thing they could find to
do with their money was to give
it to a bunch of animals. The
capers carried a story about
Mrs. Montet’s animals saying
that one of the birds died of
old age and they didn’t expect
the other to last long, or the
tom cat either.
It is one of the shames of our
day that there are so many
who have so much who do not
know how to use what they
have. To have the power to
relieve hunger, to heal broken
bodies, to enlighten minds is
a real power and a great chal
lenge. But to misuse that pow
er, to twist it and pervert it is
nothing short of a sin against
the Creator as well as against
our fellow man. Six hundred
and fifty thousand dollars and
all they could do was to leave
it to animals. How indifferent
to the needs of the world can
one become?
It all leads us around to this
—most of us have a little that
we will leave when we enter
the other life. What shall we
do with it? Shall we foolishly
throw it away? Shall we leave
it and have no plans for it and
let it wind up where it will? Or
shall we plan for its’ use now
so that we can continue to be
of service even in our death?
You know, there a lot of
cold, sick, and hungry people
in the world who would like
to know the answer to that
question as well as the Crea
tor. How are we going to use
it? I guess we will use it in
our death like we used it in our
life.
You see, when we are dead
it is too late to change.

ecy will hold revival services

pastor of the church, Rev. Net
tie Carroll of Clinton, invites
the public to attend.
County Agent’s
1968 forecast
Strong economic activity both
at State and National levels
will create a good demand for
most farm products. Prices to
farmers will not increase over
those received in 1967.
This makes for an outlook,
in general, that is not overly
optomistic. Farmers still have
the opportunity to produce.
For those who produce quality
products and can hold down
production expenses, the out
look is good.
Prices to dairy farmers for
milk fthould continue about the
same as for 1967. Beef cattle
prices will continue favorable.
Hog prices are expected to dip
somewhat in the new year.
On the crops side, the mar
ket situation for cotton should
be excellent in 1968, especially
for quality cotton. Soybeans
will again be a good crop pros
pect with prices about the same
as during 1967.
Prices for all poultry pro
ducts, including eggs will not
likely improve in the near fu
ture. Poultry farmers should

HOW DID IT COME ABOUT? Our Pilgrim Fathers
came to this land because they were determined
to have religious liberty, and they had discovered
that it was impossible to have religious liberty
without political liberty. They had no precedent, *
no blueprint, but they had clear minds. They de- "
vised, for the first time on a major scale in all of
human history, a system whereby people control
government instead of government controlling
people. And it worked.
RELIGIOUS HERITAGE OF AMERICA, INC., was founded
in 1951 as a national, non-sectarian, non-profit organi
zation, for these purposes:
1. To increase the general knowledge of the religious
heritage of the nation from the earliest settlers to
the present day.
2. To encourage the application of religious principles
to government, business and industry.
3. To develop a greater understanding among all people
of the theistic presuppositions in our common life
on which our nation has been founded and its insti
tutions of government created, and to make these
relevant in our day.
