Roberts County Savings Bonds Chairman. Poem written by minister The poem below was submit ted by James L. Koon, Church of God Minister, Route No. 3, Newberry, South Carolina. “NOT GROWING OLD w “They say that I am growing old, I’ve heard them tell it times untold. But I’m not growing old. This frail old shell in which I dwell Is growing old, I know full-well, But I am not the shell. What if my hair is turning grey? Grey hairs are honorable, they say. What if my eyesight’s growing dim? I still can see to follow Him Who sacrificed His life for me Upon the Cross of Calvary. What should I care if time’s old plough Has left its furrows on my brow? Another house, not made by hand, Awaits me in the glory land. What tho I falter in my walk? I still can tread the narrow way, I still can watch, and praise and pray. My hearing may not be as keen As in the past it may have been Still, I can hear my Savior say In whispers soft, -This is the way.’ The outward man, do what I can To lengthen out his life’s short span, Shall perish, and return to dust, The inward man, the scriptures say, Is growing stronger every day. Then how can I be growing old When safe within my Saviours fold? E’re long my soul shall fly away, And leave this tenement of clay This robe of flesh I’ll drop and rise To seize the “everlasting prize. I’ll meet you on the streets of gold, And prove that I am not growing old.” Another Great Service Added For Yonr Convenience!
