Business raided, drug arrests made

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com ATOKA – A national epidemic is becoming a local problem, police say, as a local business was raided this week and found to be selling bath salts.

On Monday, a search warrant was executed at Shrooms,

a business located at 13842 Highway 51 South. According to a press release from the district attorney’s office, undercover buys are what prompted the raid.

“The search warrant was based upon prior undercover controlled purchases of the illegal bath salts from this business location on May 15,

June 24 and June 25,” said district attorney general Mike Dunavant.

Agents with the 25th Judicial District Drug Task Force and officers with the Atoka Police Department found and seized numerous products labeled and being offered for sale as Charge+, which contain synthetic deriv-

atives of methcathinone, an illegal drug known as “bath salts.”

But these are not the bath salts you’d use when soaking in your tub.

Sources say methcathinone and its derivatives are being made and marketed as “bath salts,” but are labeled not for human consumption, making

these designer drugs legal in many states.

These bath salts have similar effects of meth, cocaine and ecstasy. They are amphetamines and stimulate the central nervous system, often causing increased blood pressure and heart rate. Dr. Jennifer Ashton, a CBS News medical reporter, said sympSEE DRUGS, PAGE A2

Atoka celebrates

Town honors centennial with three-day event

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com

t was an event 100 years in the making and this weekend, residents of the Town of Atoka honored a century of incorporation with a celebration that last three days.

“I think we did what our intention was,” said committee chairperson Jackie Walker, wife to mayor Daryl Walker. “I think it was great.”

Though first incorporated in 1872, the Town of Atoka voluntarily gave up its charter in the late 19th century to keep saloons from being established within its city limits. On June 24, 1911, the town was once again incorporated.

Friday night Atoka’s Centennial Celebration began by honoring Mrs. Jewell Forbess as Atoka’s oldest citizen and Baylee Jill Rogers, granddaughter of former alderman Tommy Rogers, as the town’s youngest citizen.

To help in the committee’s mission to honor the past, there was also a costume contest, won by Jackie Snell, and dance contest, won by Becca and Daniel Moore. During the waltz contest, “Mama Jewell” made her way to the dance floor, too.

Though temperatures were close to triple digits Saturday, approximately 2,000 people braved the heat to participate in the event’s largest day.

Craft and food vendors, demonstrators, media outlets, artists, model train conductors and other businesses were stationed in Nancy Lane Park, Adkison Park and in Atoka United Methodist Church’s McQuiston Hall.

To end the three-day event, on Sunday, boy scouts from Troop 60 served barbecue and hot dogs from FasTimes and Post Office BBQ. Arkansas State University head football coach Hugh Freeze spoke to the crowd before fireworks ended the evening.

Coming home: Garland green beret debuts TV show

By ECHO DAY eday@covingtonleader.com A combat-wounded green beret from Garland is making waves as he embarks on a new adventure, combining his love for freedom and the outdoors in a new show called “Coming Home with Greg Stube.”

“If you’ve ever stepped out your back door at home, whatever home is

to you, wherever home might be, if you’ve ever done something outside that you remember as a warm feeling, then the outdoors you know is connected to your freedom and what you love about coming home.”

Stube, a 1987 graduate of Covington High School, retired from the U.S. Army last week. He was a green beret with 23 years of service, a sol-

dier wounded in battle in Afghanistan.

After retirement, he’d intended to return to the Middle East as a contractor, continuing his operations as a combat medic.

But a key battle during the war changed things for Stube.

“It was an emotional time, almost losing everything and not being able to come home,” he said quietly, reflecting on the

injuries sustained during the Battle of Sperwan Ghar nearly five years ago, the battle that killed him and took away his plans.

“All I could talk about was that I was grateful it didn’t happen in some accident, that I knew what I was doing and I was proud that it happened in service to this country,” he said.

Continued from page A1 well,” Walker said.

“Everyone worked so hard to make it a success.”

Walker said one of the committee’s intentions was to bring the community together, both the people who grew up in old Atoka and those who’ve moved to Atoka since it’s seen a spike in population during the

past decade.

“It was good to see all of those come together - the old Atoka and the new,” she said. “I think we did what we set out to do.

This weekend’s event wasn’t the end of the celebration, however.

The committee is already working on plans for an event in December.

“Later this year we’re going to close our time capsule, debut the history book written and edited by David Gwinn, unveil the expansion of the enlarged memorial for (medal of honor recipient Sgt. Joseph B.) Adkison and maybe celebrate the season while we’re at it,” said Walker.

She hopes the event is

something that will take place every year.

“We’re hoping to grow from this into an annual event, taking something away from the centennial and building on it.”

Signs of “bath salt” abuse

toms can include chest pain, heart attacks, stroke, delusions, paranoia and psychosis.

In May, Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam signed into law a bill which prohibits the sale or possession with intent to sell products containing these dangerous ingredients.

Similar laws in other states have been passed.

The United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and Israel have already banned the chemicals.

Shrooms’ owner Leburn Dorris Barnes, 41, was charged with four counts of selling or possession with the intent to sell products containing the methcathinone derivative.

Employees Robert Edman Zelinski, 31, and Matthew Ryan Cook, 21, were charged with two counts and one count of the same charge, respectively.

A total bond in the amount of $25,000 was

set by the court on Barnes for all counts; Zelinski and Cook were released on their own recognizance.

All three are set to make their first appearance in court on Friday, July 22.

The business, which promotes the sale of hookahs, or water pipes, on a billboard near its south Atoka location, has been widely criticized since its beginning.

It is currently still open for business.

Most users are experienced drug users/abusers. Patients have primarily been young adults in their 20’s to 30’s. Some binge for 3-4 days. There is craving for more once the binge is over.

“Bath salts” are snorted, ingested, mixed with water, injected, or inserted rectally or vaginally.

Side effects include: severe paranoia violent behavior hallucinations chest pain seizures decreased need for sleep lack of appetite self-mutilation

‘The Jungle Book’ wildly received at CIAA Last week, students and teachers at Covington Integrated Arts Academy and the Tipton Arts Council took care of the “bear� necessities for their second annual Summer Theatrical Camp.

After a week of production from June 20-24, camp goers successfully performed a riveting version of Walt Disney’s “The Jungle Book� last Friday night.

The organizers seemed to have about as much fun as the children did. “I just love working with the kids,� said theatrical director Leah Billings. “I also like providing them with an outlet other than sports to showcase their talents.�

The students did just that. A group of 33 camp goers composed of students entering 2nd-8th grades took part in every aspect of production of “The Jungle Book,� from costume design and construction to singing, dancing and acting.

The characters showed their antagonism to Shere Khan the tiger and Kaa the snake through skillful singing and dancing.

Led by other CIAA teachers, music director Susan Cavin and art director Brandy Akins,

and by Barbara McBride, the young students participated in a genuine musical production.

McBride, a member of the Tipton Arts Council, was camp director. “Last year, I proposed the idea to the Tipton Arts Council to have a theater camp for kids,� said McBride. “They said if I coordinate it then they would do it. The teachers at CIAA have really

made this possible too.

This is really important the we get kids not only interested but involved in the arts.� “The first theatrical camp was a hit,� said Billings. “It really helps the kids develop their character. After the first (camp), we saw an overwhelming response.

People talk about throughout the entire year.�

SHOW

Continued from A1 On Sept. 4, 2006, an improvised explosive device (IED) exploded the humvee in which he was operating a 50-caliber machine gun.

Stube’s right tibula and fibula were completely severed. His foot and ankle still in his boot, he continued fighting back against Taliban forces and was shot twice.

A rescue helicopter came, flying him to a field hospital in Kandahar.

When they arrived Stube had no pulse; he had died in Afghanistan, but was brought back to life by his fellow combat medics. The shrapnel had severed major arteries in his abdomen and Stube underwent blood transfusions for four days.

In the past five years, Stube has undergone countless surgeries to repair his damaged body.

His patriotism, however, wasn’t broken and he shared it with everyone who allowed him the opportunity.

For years he has traveled around the country, delivering motivational speeches. As he shares his story he notices people pay attention. “People were, I found, finding strength in the message. It seemed to be really boosting people’s patriotism and boosting their realization and appreciation for daily freedoms and life in a country like this. As I expressed mine, I could see that people were realizing their own.�

Stube has appeared on television shows and the inspiration to own one came from his experiences. “I knew that if I had an opportunity to be on television, I would make it less commercial, more patriotic, more emotional, more meaningful. I think a lot of kids look at TV and I think they deserve more than what we give them.�

He wanted to have control over the message, he said.

Stube, along with Tipton County resident Ben Baker, have been traveling all over the country to sell their privately-owned show to sponsors. “We’ve been selling patriotism,� he said. “We’ve been selling honor, we’ve been selling membership on an American team that stands for core values. While I couldn’t offer them the viewership of a major network and I couldn’t offer them direct sales through my program, I offered them recognition in America as a company that stands by our core values.�

Those values, he said, are the same values held

by Americans on both sides of the aisle who want commitment, integrity, honesty and something they can believe in.

Stube said he ties the outdoors and a sense of home together during his show as he travels around the country, even internationally.

Enjoying the outdoors, he said, exemplifies the kind of freedoms Americans have every single day. “If you’ve ever stepped out your back door at home, whatever home is to you, wherever home might be, if you’ve ever done something outside that you remember as a warm feeling, then the outdoors you know is connected to your freedom and what you love about coming home.�

During the show he asks people of different races, religions, cultures and backgrounds what they love about coming home. “Immediately you can see them hit a rewind button on their life,� he said. “It’s just beautiful to see that no matter where people are from, is the same thing that you might say.�

The shows include activities like hunting and fishing, but quickly evolve to the area’s culture and history, he said.

While fishing for King Salmon in Kenai, Alaska, Stube said he came across a Russian Orthodox cemetery with American flags decorating the tombstones.

As he found out, though these people were not Americans very long, they worked hard and earned freedom.

No matter how far he

travels, Stube said he carries with him the culture of the place he calls home: Tipton County. “It’s a culture of service, where people serve one another and where they serve something bigger than themselves.

That has stayed with me and that wholesome perspective I learned growing up here.�

This week his show, “Coming Home with Greg Stube,� debuted on The Sportsmen’s Channel, enabling he and Baker to realize they’ve been working to achieve for a year and a half.

Stube’s friend - Tipton County Sheriff J.T. “Pancho� Chumley, along with his son, Tucker joined him in Texas to film an episode that will air in September.

BASS Angler of the Year Kevin VanDam has also joined Stube. Both guests, he said, are men he considers role models, men who decided what they wanted to do in life and have worked hard to make it happen.

And that hard work is what has catapulted Stube into this venture. “I’ve sat in Covington High School with the other kids; I went to Crestview Middle School and Garland Elementary School. We never thought we’d be anything important, but I want people in Tipton County to know that it doesn’t matter where you’re from or where you grow up, the opportunities are the same in this country. We get to choose what we do in this country and be great at it.� “Coming Home with Greg Stube� airs Sundays at 10 a.m., Wednesdays at

6 a.m. and Thursdays at noon on The Sportsman Channel, DirecTV channel 605 and Dish Network channel 395.

THURSDAY, JUNE 30, 2011

From Bucca with love, part 5 On a mid-morning in July, we received a rocket attack from one of the many thugs who would get within a mile of the base in some old vehicle, launch a rocker or mortar and then drive off. Sometimes our forces would catch them, but usually they came in the dead of night and got away. Fortunately, their aim JIM HARDIN was bad and they usually just hit sand, making a crater inside our base.

But this late-July morning was different. A rocket landed in the middle of a “Green” compound (low risk detainees), killing 9 and wounding over 50 captured Iraqi’s. Immediately, security and medical staff moved in to secure the area and begin triage on among the dead and wounded. It was the first time a large mass of Iraqi’s in Bucca were able to witness how we took care of those who were injured, and the care we took of the bodies of the dead.

Word spread among the over 20,000 detainees at the kind and great care being given to the captured by the captors. At the same time, the “Awakening” movement was taking hold across Iraq and word of this spread within Bucca as well. Riots, which were fairly common place, began to subside and our detainees become in many cases more cooperative and less hostile.

At about the same time, we increased programs of education and tolerance classes for the detainees.

Many were learning to read and write, working on a high school education, and learning trades that could lead to jobs. In our “red” compound, I was able to get the chiefs of the Sunni and Sh’ia quads to meet together with the TIF Commander, a first among the “reds”. Our Sh’ia chief who had earlier offered to kill the Sunnis for me would not look the Sunnis in the eyes, and you could see the hate in his demeanor, but he remained calm and tried to be polite. It was a start.

Review boards began in August to work on a program to begin releasing detainees back to their homes and families. Those from green and amber compounds were being released in large numbers by September. Some of our folks in the red compound were reviewed, but few were released. Still, some made it, including our chief and his interpreter from the Charlie Sh’ia Quad. The chief went by Tony and the interpreter was Mac. They were always respectful and cooperative, and seemed to have a kinder way among their group than the Alpha chief.

Our Sunni’s in Bravo and Delta quads were still fairly cold to us, but there were moments they would lighten up. One day, we received a message written on the remnant of a juice box and tied to a stone made of sand mixed with tea. A detainee in Bravo (this was a new group moved in after sending the last group to the “hasties”) said he wanted to talk to us and would signal at morning headcount by wearing a yellow cloth wrapped around his right hand and raising it to his face. We identified him as he suggested, made arrangements for a “medical call” to the infirmary, and then took him to a briefing room.

He proceeded to tell us there were about 15 detainees who ran the Quad and kept everyone in line by nighttime beatings and death threats. He gave us their names and suggested things would get better if we removed these men from the Quad. After reviewing the records of these 15, we decided the information was likely good so we made arrangements to call them up. They all thought they were going to a release review board. I am sure they were a bit surprised to find themselves moved to the dreaded hasties (last resort compounds for the really bad detainees).

The change was immediate and amazing. A new chief was selected by the detainees, a young man with a gentle demeanor. They started requesting a radio and soccer balls, fun that was not allowed by the thugs who ran the Quad before. You could sense a weight was lifted off the entire group and men would be seen smiling as they spoke to each other. They even agreed to a volley ball match between themselves and their Sunni brothers in the Delta Quad. It was a bit of a security issue setting this up, but the game was conducted and morale was lifted in both Sunni quads. There was a detainee in Delta who was a dwarf, standing just under 4-feet tall. He played as well, sitting on the shoulders of a taller detainee on his team while he impressively slammed the ball to the other side.

If you recall, I mentioned Sami in the last article, the Bravo Quad interpreter who with the others was removed to the hasties. We had put in a recommendation that he not be kept there, and he was soon moved to Compound 18 just up from our location.

After some months had passed, I received a call from the “S2” (Intel) representative in Compound 18 saying that Sami, now a chief in his assigned Quad, requested to meet with me. I arrived later that evening and was ushered to the holding area of Sami’s Quad. There was a fence between us, and as his folks were watching so we could not shake hands.

Sami proceeded to tell me that he was selected for release and would leave in the morning. He wanted me to know that his time in Camp Bucca taught

Can you remember when there was a time country Doctors made house calls? How many folks can garner up a tale or two about being on their ‘so-called’ death bed and the brilliant physicians came flying to the rescue. Take a slow trip down memory lane and visualize the black, faded leather medicine bag with the broken latch that probably never did work anyway.

Even faded photos, paintings or clips always depict the bag as scuffed, bulging and ‘pert nigh’ dilapidated. However, the small, hand carried bag could hold enough supplies to overflow a cotton wagon with cracked and splintered sideboards.

Neighbor, I never saw or heard of anyone except the Country Doctor sticking his or her paw inside a Doctor’s vault to extract any medicine except the healer himself. We talked about it occasionally. Why? Speculation or educated guessing.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Thank you for the Sherry Hatton (secre- Bank, First State Bank, tary), Jeremiah Jones Patriot Bank/Mortgage, support Dear Editor, Thank you for your insightful coverage of Atoka’s Centennial Celebration. Editor Echo Day and Shane Waits are to be commended for their willingness to work intensively to uncover the history of Atoka. Echo’s articles have included much information about the Atoka of long ago and its metamorphosis of today.

Andy and Stephanie Borhman faithfully kept pictures and information posted on Atoka’s Centennial Facebook page that allowed those within the community to stay informed. Check it out; they have taken some awesome pictures.

They truly captured Atoka “Honoring the Past, Celebrating the Present, and Embracing the Future.”

The Centennial Committee members put in a lot of hours to make the celebration a success. I would like the thank the following committee members: Jackie Walker (chairperson),

(treasurer), Stephanie Bohrman (administrator), Bill Anderson, Don Barnett, Robin Barnett, Sonny Beasley, Julie Brooks, Steve Carpenter, David Dean, Gary Fite, Barrie Foster, David Gwinn, Jason Forbess, Angela Hardy, Bob Hatton, Julie Joyner, Faye Kitchens, Patsy Langley, Carolyn McDaniel, Bob McFarland, Sharron Montgomery, Jaclyn Morris, Debbie Pickard, Eddie Stafford, Amy Turnage, Shane Waits, Darren Walker, Gladys Walker and Traci Wickham.

The excitement expressed by the sponsors was contagious. All the children and adult activities were provided by the following sponsors: Title Sponsors; Atoka Family Dentistry, Atoka Fitness Center, Atoka Kroger: Centennial Sponsors; Automotive Pro-tek and Munford Tire & Brake; Generation Sponsors; InSouth Bank and Millington Telephone; Decade Sponsors Bank of Tipton, Darrbe Lane Salon, First Citizens

and Tipton County Land Co.: Donations; Atoka Nails, Haddad’s Dept.

Store, J & K Fireworks, Olympic Steak & Pizza, Playland Moonbounce, T’s Tresses and Republic Services.

Sunday’s evening meal was provided by FasTimes of Atoka and Post Office Bar-B-Q with the Atoka Boy Scout Troop 60 serving. These Boy Scouts and their leaders worked tirelessly the entire weekend helping set up tents, cleaning up and assisting in any way possible. These young men and their leaders are to be commended for their organizational and leadership skills.

The children’s activities would not have been possible without the help of the volunteers from the Brighton High School Honor Society who were Haley Craig, Aevor Jo’nsson, Hunter Sarten, Tayler Sarten, and Nicki Veckwith. One of the honor society’s members mother, Delana Sarten, assisted also.

Gateway Baptist Church provided music

and volunteers for the event. Atoka’s Genesis Church willingly provided volunteers. Atoka’s United Methodist provided volunteers and graciously provided use of their facilities for the Memphis Railroad & Trolley Museum demonstrations along with butter churning demonstrations and display of Atoka memorabilia.

It was great to have the support of the South Tipton Chamber in the planning process and as we sought help with volunteers.

The employees of the Atoka Police Department, Fire Department, Maintenance and Water Department, and Emergency Service went beyond the call of duty without concern as to who received credit to achieve success for Atoka’s Centennial Celebration.

The efforts of all make Atoka “A GREAT Place to Call Home.”

Roth IRA: a lifetime investment

By EDWARD JONES Special to The Leader Some investments are appropriate during your working years, while others are more suitable for retirement. But a Roth Individual Retirement Account (IRA) can provide you with benefits at virtually every stage of your life. Let’s take a quick “journey” through some of these stages to see just how valuable a Roth IRA can be.

To begin with, you can open a Roth IRA at any age, provided you have earned income and meet certain income limits.

So if you’re just starting out in your career, put as much as you can afford into your Roth IRA and gradually increase your contributions as your income rises, up to the contribution limit. A Roth IRA is an excellent retirement savings vehicle because it can grow tax free and your contributions can be invested into just about any investment you choose — stocks, bonds, mutual funds, CDs and so on.

Of course, when you’re

He thanked me for my leadership.

We talked about our families and hopes for the future for a few minutes. I then thanked him for speaking with me and wished him well, as he wished me. I had not seen Sami for months.

He was already released, so he had no need to tell me these things to try to curry favor. Sami was sincerely moved by the way we conducted ourselves, and he committed to tell his people in Hit (a town near the Syrian border) that Americans were not bad people.

A few weeks after Sami left, word came back through the detainees from family members who had visited that he had been captured one night and taken away in a vehicle. He was never seen again and many suspected he was killed for being too friendly with the Americans. My heart sank, but I still hold out hope that the report was in error and that Sami is once again with his wife and children.

We came home January 2008, changed forever by our time in Iraq, strengthened by the camaraderie of shipmates in the sand without a beach, and mixed emotions about the future of American commitment to a free and democratic Iraq. We spent years in Germany and Japan, evening writing the Constitution

This means that you might have more money to bequeath to your children or other beneficiaries, and they won’t have to pay income taxes on withdrawals from either your contributions or your earnings, provided your Roth IRA account has been open for at least five years. Keep in mind, though, that your beneficiaries will be required to take distributions based on their life expectancy.

As you can see, a Roth IRA can be an excellent financial “traveling companion” as you go through life. So consider adding a Roth to your portfolio — and bon voyage.

currently used by the Japanese people. It worked, and I pray our efforts in Iraq will bear the fruit of liberty, peace and justice in Iraq.

The enemy saw our disunity at home, and I can say first hand that the thugs used this disunity as a propaganda tool to encourage others to violence. Whether you support our nation’s efforts or not, once Congress and the President have committed our men and women to war, we should stand in unity and

been the case had the Muslim world seen a united America.

On this weekend we’ll celebrate the 235 years of Independence. What Americans yearned for across the patriot battlefields of the Revolution is really what all people want. I know, many Iraqis told me, and I believe we have at least given them a chance. Happy Independence Day and thank you all for reading.

God Bless!

wait until after the job is done before vilifying a president or questioning our cause for the world to hear. The surge was started late in large part due to political concerns related to the debate at home. Members of Congress who voted to support the war, quickly attacked President Bush and his supporters for the war. It was disgusting, and I suspect cost us some American lives and much longer hard times in Iraq that I suspect would not have

Cooking with Claudia

“Long lazy days of summer—who are we kidding!!

Summer is here in full force! I love thinking about summers growing up in Munford. The two recipes I’m sharing are updates on those taken from mother’s kitchen many years ago. Mother and Daddy both worked and would come home for lunch. One of our favorites was when she would bring in a lb. of “American” cheese and a loaf of fresh Wonder Bread.

It was my job to grate the cheese, add a little “Duke’s” mayonnaise and chopped pimiento. Classic homemade pimento cheese with a fresh tomato—nothing better!!

My recipe for Pimiento Cheese calls for several different cheeses and it is baked. This is a little different flare on an old favorite of mine. The second classic recipe is what mother called“Co-Cola Cake” It actually has a cup of coke in both the cake and the icing. Just a little trivia—I remember when you could buy a small coke for $.05!! When it went up to $.07, the Coke machines had to be changed to accommodate the additional $.02!! Oh, those were the days!”

Baked Pimiento Cheese Dip (Southern Living) 1 ½ cups mayonnaise ½ jar roasted red bell peppers, drained and chopped ¼ cup chopped green onions 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced 1 (8-oz) block extra-sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded 1 (8-oz) block pepper Jack cheese, shredded Garnish: fresh cilantro leaves Serve with: French bread cubes Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir together first 4 ingredients in a large bowl; stir in cheeses. Spoon mixture into a lightly greased 2-qt baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until dip is golden and bubbly. Garnish, if desire.

Serve with French bread cubes.

150 YEARS AGO: JUNE 1861

Editor’s note: The following is a historical piece commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, written and compiled

by Tipton County Historian Russell B. Bailey.

By RUSSELL B. BAILEY Tipton County Historian

Fort Wright, Randolph Captain Smith P. Bankhead, a Memphis lawyer, commanded the battery of heavy artillery at Fort Wright. Ten of his cannon included two 64 and eight 32-pounders, besides howitzers. A newspaper reported that Bankhead’s men were like his guns, ‘huge caliber.’

The steamboat Edward Howard arrived at Randolph June 24th for the purpose of stretching a chain across the Mississippi to blockade the river. This was part of General Gideon Pillow’s plans to obstruct and destroy the Union ships coming down the Mississippi: “I am preparing to effectually blockade the river at Randolph by a ship cable chain, supported by buoys, anchors, etc.

This barricade will arrest any fleet of boats that may attempt a descent of the river under my batteries, so that my guns will sink and burn them up with hot shot. I have six batteries, mounting about thirty heavy guns, completed. All my defensive works will be completed this week.”

In order to provide his batteries with illumination in case of a night attack by Federal ships, General Pillow had large barrels of tar placed in five piles. These were “to be lighted successively as enemy vessels made their way downriver, thus keeping the enemy ships silhouetted

The Civil War in Tipton County

between the guns and the flaming barrels. Pillow also experimented with the ‘Drummond Light’ and ‘Calcium Light’ to aid night firing.”

On June 23, Captain S. R. Latta of Dyersburg wrote home to his wife Mary: “It is Sunday—about noon. The sun is shining brightly and hotly – but a fine and pleasant breeze is blowing from the river…Our tents are stretched along the Bluff, immediately facing the great river, and we have a fair view of it up and down for several miles…

The only drawback is the dust by which we are considerably annoyed. I am writing now in front of our tents, facing the river – with magnificent farms stretching out on the opposite side of the river – beyond them the luxuriant forest…I have been out this morning to hear our chaplain preach. He is the Rev. Hafford who used to be the stationed (Methodist) preacher in Dyersburg. He preached in a shady grove seated on our blankets on the ground. I don’t know when I have enjoyed religious services more, or when my full heart went up with warmer thanks to my Creator.

I am getting along in camp life admirably well.

My health is good and we have plently to eat.

I have my tent floored with planks – and I lay down on one blanket and drawing another over me, sleep as soundly and pleasantly as you please.

We are not troubled with mosquitos, being too near the river…We drill daily…”

On June 25th, a Memphis newspaper reported that persons going up to Randolph on government steamboats “will for the future be charged $4 the trip up

Velma Reynolds of Memphis visited her sister, Flossie Pugh, recently.

Bobbie Ballard paid her a visit as well.

Jean Pilkington of Dyersburg visited her brother, Charlie Womack, and his wife, Glender, recently.

David and Holly McDow had a family get-together on Sunday, June 12.

Some friends were attendance as well.

There was Jerry McDow and his son, Mike, Reggie McDow, Donna Cousar Ross and husband, Jimmy, Maviline Cousar, Johnny and Paula Cousar, Ada Fletcher, W.L. and Pearl Studivant, Randy and Myra Cousar and Cobe.

John Pickard came by after lunch.

Atoka Mabel Smith

Dear readers, I am still in my house so I don't plan too much. Carol took me in my wheelchair to Atoka on Sunday to watch the fireworks. It was lovely and being out in the air was wonderful. I liked the local folks and the others as well and it didn't seem to be bad for me.

I didn't see a lot of friends, but it was good.

Usually I've always seen every celebration but not this year.

My grandson Albert had surgery

and down.” The notice added “We expect some of our boats will run the excursion at half the rate if the business is not made a monopoly.”

It was reported on June 27th that General Pillow ordered the firing of 25 guns in honor of James T. Jackson, proprietor of Marshall House Tavern in Alexandria, Virginia who was killed May 24, 1861.

On that day, Colonel E. E. Ellsworth commanded Union forces attempting to take down the Confederate flag flying from Marhsall's building. Marshall shot and killed Colonel Ellsworth who was in turn shot and killed by one of the Union soldiers.

On June 29th, the Tennessee General Assembly authorized Governor Isham Harris to entrust the defense of the state and Tennessee’s army to the immediate control and direction of Confederate President Jefferson Davis.

During the latter part of June the issuance of the whiskey ration to the troops was suspended and the sale thereof prohibited. Soldiers then had to purchase their booze either at Covington or from peddlers hiding in the woods near the fort. Some men resorted to bringing liquor into camp in their musket by stopping up the vent tube.

One afternoon several Irishmen of Co. C, Colonel J. Knox Walker’s 2d Tennessee Infantry got drunk rather than report for evening dress parade. After learning of the insubordinate conduct, Col. Walker ordered the arrest of the guilty parties. In attempting to carry out the order, a sergeant, himself intoxicated, was badly beaten by one of the offenders.

An innocent bystander,

The mayor of Randolph, Jackie Ballard, has a birthday July 12.

On Father’s Day at Randolph Assembly of God, the oldest was W.H. Harrison, the youngest was David Womack and the Father of the Year was Don Billings. They received gifts, and our Pastor got a gift, too.

On the prayer list: Kim Hodge, Maurice Harchfield, Jerry Dye, Charlie Womack, Mr. and Mrs. Climer, Emily Sweeney, Mindy Tankersley, Odis Poole, Pete and Polly Branch, Brother Joe Bridges, Donnie, Rita and Will Haislip, Zach Wallace in the Marines and all the other men and women in the military.

“Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need, so don’t worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will bring its own worries.

Today’s trouble is enough for today.”

Matthew 6:33-34 this morning so I hope all is well for him.

VBS at First Baptist Church was good.

On Sunday July 10, the Men's Prayer Meeting will take place at 6 p.m.

Sunday, July 17 is Homecoming Sunday. There will be an old fashioned service with activities and food all afternoon.

On Monday, July 18 to Friday, July 22, Vacation Bible School is from 6-8 p.m.

I am happy to write all I can. It hasn't been quite a whole lot, but I must try to do more and keep all okay.

Maybe someone will do a lot.

Good luck.

Private Patrick Whalen of Co. C., intervened to rescue the sergeant from his assailants. About this time an officer arrived on the scene and assumed that Whalen was one of the drunken men he was sent to arrest. Whalen informed the officer of his innocence; therefore, he would not yield. The officer tried to seize him but was knocked down.

Next came the regimental surgeon who attempted to assist his fellow officer, and who ‘got a pair of damaged eyes for his interference.’ By this time a crowd of officers had gathered. The drunken soldiers of Co. C. also assembled armed with muskets and took sides with Whalen. In the ensuing melee, one of the officers shot Whalen, inflicting a slight wound.

Undaunted, Whalen continued to strike the officers down with his fists as fast as they approached.

Colonel Walker called for reinforcements including his light artillery and two companies of infantry.

He placed the cannon so as to sweep the camp of the mutineers and then summoned the Irishmen to surrender. Only when the artillerymen began loading grape and canister did the rioters lay down their arms and submit. The offenders were placed in the guardhouse where that night another fight took place. More men were hurt with one culprit being ‘pinned to the wall by a bayonet.’

Fourteen of the mutineers were tried by a general court-martial.

Whalen was sentenced to be shot and others placed

in a ball and chain with forfeiture of pay. General Pillow pardoned Whalen and transferred him to

Greetings Firstly, let me begin with “Sorry!” As all of you are aware by now, Jamestown news was a “no show” last week.

What happened? It’s beyond me! As always, I mailed it out. However, instead of sending it out like usual on Monday, this time, I mailed it on Sunday afternoon at the main post office in downtown Memphis.

My contact at The Leader office never saw it! Once again, all of us are sorry over this mishap, especially me! Please continue reading me each week and hopefully this won’t ever happen again.

Let’s see!

Last Saturday, another of our cousins was laid to rest, Erbytine Hall, Jr., formerly of Covington, now of Ripley, Tennessee passed away June 19. He was the son of Verice Alston Hall and the late Erbytine Sr. of Covington. He was the husband of Shamel Hall, and the father of nine children and loving brother to nine sisters and two brothers, as well as loving grandfather to twelve. St. Stephens M.B. Church of Covington and Pastor Tony Hall along with the Barlow Funeral Home in Covington honored this loving family with their services of love for them. Keep us all continue keeping this wonderful family in our prayers.

Also on Saturday, June 15, at 4 p.m. at O’Charley’s in Bartlett was the meeting place for several birthdays of our family members born in June.

Hi everyone.

Sorry I missed you last week. We had a death in the family. My niece, Miss Andrea Houlihan, died of aspiration at 25 years old.

Andrea was the daughter of my youngest brother, Larry Houlihan, who preceded her in death at the age of 34. Her mother, Carol Brewer, and her stepfather, Mr. Bobby, live in Louisiana, where Andrea was in her second year of college. They will be moving back to the Memphis or Tipton County area soon. They went down there for her to attend the college she wanted. She was definitely a momma’s girl.

We will all miss her a great deal. I am so happy they chose the Morrison Cemetery in Brighton. It’s nearby, so I can visit. She was so young, but the Lord has an appointed time for us all. Thanks to those of you who knew about it and sent such lovely cards.

Well, the ball games are almost all over. My little grandson, Zach Kidd, and his team, the Bolton Wildcats, are finishing up in the World Series and doing very well. They will be going to Louisiana for the final competition soon. These young men are eight, nine and 10 year olds. Way to go Wildcats!

Last week, while I was in McDonald’s, I met a very sweet young lady.

Her name is Miss Kaitlyn Ward. She is a seventh grader and member of the National Honor Society. She shared with me that she and several other honor society members from Tipton County have received a trip to New York City.

She had just returned and was very excited about it. Congratulations to Kaitlyn and all you other students who have worked so hard.

Compliments to the superintendent and board for giving these students such wonderful rewards. This week at McDonald’s – we go there a lot you know – Mrs. Irene Parker had a birthday on Monday.

She’s a very special lady.

Miss Mattie McClelland,

Hello My Brighton Friends, What a busy week we have had. And I might add a hot one. But we are so grateful for the rain.

The Harrison Simonton Memorial Fish Fry was absolutely wonderful. There are so many to thank for the success of the event. Neal and I are so blessed to have so many good friends who have helped this year and in years past.

We truly live in a close, loving community. And I also have come to know every year of someone who was touched by my sons kindness and love for the people he came in contact with. This year was Tyler Walker.

His mother, Christy, provided me with such wonderful pictures of the two of them during the Brighton Buddies program. Harrison was so popular with the kids, they just loved him and he loved them.

The food was just terrific, thanks to Kenny Campbell, Well's Kitchen, and all the people who helped serve. Cooking on site was the way to go.

There has been so many compliments on how good the fish was in particular. Also many thanks to those who helped with

Charlie and I were wishing her a very happy birthday, and my friend, Steve Smith, who works there came by and found out. Suddenly there were ten or more employees coming by to sing her happy birthday. Thanks to y’all! Thank you Steve for the special twist to the song! She and George had plans with their family the rest of the day.

My daughter-in-law, Stephanie Scott, got a new car. My son, Mike Scott, found it for her. It is so cool! I mean really cool.

It is a 2007 Mazda Miata, beautiful burgundy, hard top convertible. She looks so cute in it. The car and she are both so small. She let Charlie and I take a ride in it. It was fun. It’s been years since I’ve ridden in a convertible.

This past Sunday, Jonathon and Kim McDaniel presented their son, John Tucker McDaniel, for the Sacrament of Infant Baptism. We will observe the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper on July 10.

Hope they are each the greatest! Happy anniversaries go to: Ron and Jeni Chaney, Lloyd and Rosie Barnes, Brandon and Jill Matlock, and Billy and Ann Chapman. May God Bless you all! We were so blessed Sunday for a lovely a young lady, Miss Chloe Dalrymple to accept Jesus Christ as her risen savior and put him on in Baptism. We love you Chloe and are praying for you.

In closing, we have a new restaurant opening soon, by the name of IVYS. It is located here at the corner of Hwy. 13 and Atoka Idaville Road, across from Fastimes and beside Sheer Essence.

the desserts. This was a random request, except for the Brighton Bank.

They help every year and always provide ample sweets. But I did just ask those I knew made good desserts and they were more than happy to help as usual. :) The auction was tremendous. The merchants were so generous from Millington to Covington.

My good friends who always rally around me during this time in particular really outdid themselves. The organizers Michelle Johnston, Liz Flanagan, and Robin Racine my many thanks and gratitude for all you do for the benefit and always. Coach Will Wolfe for corralling several football players to help with the heavy stuff along with himself. I do appreciate you. And Michelle Rankin for carrying the load for the FFA department. They were at leadership camp.

And last but not least thanks to everyone who collected the auction items and all those who attended. All this was done out of love for us, Harrison, and the needs that are fulfilled from the money that is raised each year. It is a lot of hard work but the rewards are so worth it. We enjoy seeing and visiting with all the friends each year.

My sweet sister, Beth, was in from Atlanta for

the event. She throws her own pottery which she brings for the auction. It is always a hit. And yes we did a back road trip through West Tennessee.

It was truly an adventure again. This I will save for next week.

The Brighton Football team will be traveling to Hoover, Alabama in July for the 7 on 7 program.

This was quiet an invitation. We were one team invited out of thirty something and the only one in our area. The first football game will also be a big one. It will be out of town at Riverdale. This is over close to Murfreesboro.

We will be starting out tough and yes we also play Millington this year.

I attended the Brighton Park and Rec meeting last night and the renovation to downtown should be finished

by August. Hopefully around the time school starts. And we will have the Christmas Parade this year. The Park and Rec are planning a great new send off for the Parade.

If you have any suggestions in promoting this event please give town hall a call. This is the town's parade so input from you will always be appreciated.

Since I have a work allotment I will sign off now. Love you, Debe

Happy 4th of July!

body massage for my Fibromyalgia. It is so nice to have so many things so close as we age. The 4th of July is here. Let’s remember our government the way it used to be, our Constitutional rights we still have left. We have lost so many military men and women through the years protecting our rights and then to have a president who is trying to take so many away.

He definitely needs all our prayers. Hope your 4th is fun filled day with friends and families. Be careful with those fireworks. I have to wear earplugs now, but they are beautiful to watch.

Have a great week!

Hello everyone! Sure hope you all got to come out to the Atoka Centennial last Saturday!

It was a blast! Can you believe that? 100 years, how cool is that! It was a very fun time! Everyone seemed to enjoy all the exciting things going on!

They really did a bang up job on that! There has got to be a lot of planning way far ahead for anything like that to be such a great accomplishment! The town of Atoka should be proud! Job well done organizers!

The main event of course for us was our booth, “Ms. Patsy Fee’s Fried Pies.” Wow, was that a success! We don’t have an exact count, but we think we cooked about six or seven hundred pies! Boy were they good!

I’d like to thank everyone that helped with that undertaking! Especially Ms. Patsy, Courtney Fee, Kim Gray, Lisa Simpson, Ms. Juanita Waits and Tim Honeycutt! Ya’ll are nothing less than wonderful! Thank you so very much for taking time out of your life to do such a selfless endeavor! There are so many people that came to help and because I’m afraid I will leave one of you precious souls out, I just want to say thank you all from the very bottom of my heart!

Mary Ann, you and the girls are awesome! And my new little volunteer at Dunlap, Lee Ann that was right there the whole time, all of you special people, dough rollers, pie putting together people, money takers and our little “draw the crowd in person” Amber, thank you everyone! Y’all have no idea how encouraging that was for me to see all of you pulling together and making a difference in our community!

Dunlap will be eternally grateful to you all!

Speaking of that, just

in case you didn’t see last week’s Leader, all the proceeds of the pies went to Dunlap Retirement Center, a non-profit organizations that is here to serve the elderly folks in the community who can no longer live alone, because of slight health reasons, can come out here and just “be retired”, not having to worry about cooking their own meals and doing dishes and cleaning and doing laundry, because we do all that for you here! It’s a great place to be and people such as the folks that helped us last Saturday, are the ones that we can thank for that! I also want to say thank you to Bob and Barbara McFarland who paid for our booth, gave us shade for the whole day and helped us get started in this whole thing! Thanks Bob and Barbara, you two are special folks!

Since this is almost July, I have a couple of birthday’s I’ll share with you!

Ms. Suzetta Johnson’s birthday is July 8th, and one of my staff members, Keke Hart is July 31st.

Happy birthday you two!

Hope they are great days for you both! There is another special person that I would like to say happy birthday to this month and that is Ms. Tricky Hoffman! She is living in Memphis now and we sure do miss and love her! Happy Birthday Ms. Tricky! You will never be forgotten here at Dunlap!

Gotta close for now, but don’t forget, we have rooms open and waiting for you to move in! We do respite care for you care givers who need a break! Call me if you need either of our services at 476-7014, and we’ll set up a time to talk! Until next week, tell the Lord how much you love Him, give somebody a big hug, keep a short list of your sin and don’t forget to ask forgiveness and say your prayers! God bless!

BEHIND THE ARTS

BY ECHO DAY

Headed north for outdoor fun Editor’s note: This is the sixth in a 10-part series detailing historical sites, outdoor adventures and other family-friendly destinations no more than a day’s drive from Tipton County.

With attractions like Mud Island River Park, the Memphis Zoo, Pink Palace Museum, Children's Museum of Memphis and much, much more, Memphis often overshadows the rest of West Tennessee when it comes to family fun.

When it comes to outdoor fun, though, northwest Tennessee has much more to offer.

STATE'S LARGEST NATURAL LAKE

Located in the northwest corner of West Tennessee, Reelfoot Lake State Park is a natural lake created after the New Madrid earthquakes in 18111812. The quakes caused changes in landforms and reportedly caused the Mississippi River to flow backwards, filling the lake.

Two hundred years later, Tennessee’s largest natural lake is also known for being the home of bald eagles during the winter months and is popular for excellent crappie, bream, bass and catfish catches in the spring.

Affected by the May 2011 flood, some debris remains at the park, but it is currently open. The south campground reopened this week, just in time for the Independence Day holiday. The park features two campgrounds (rates are $20-25) with 100 total sites and bathhouses that include showers and dump stations, a museum and nature center, hiking, fishing, boating, picnic pavilions and playgrounds. Don’t miss the Reelfoot National Wildlife Refuge.

Visit www.state.tn.us/environment/parks/ ReelfootLake/index.shtml or call 731-2539652 for more information.

OUI, OUI, OUI! OFF TO PARIS!

Another of Tennessee's beautiful state parks, Paris Landing, is located in Paris, Tennessee on 841 acres of Kentucky Lake waterfront. The lake, which was formed when the Tennessee Valley Authority dammed the Tennessee River, is perfect for boating, fishing, swimming and skiing. Don't miss fireworks from the landing on Monday, July 4.

Visit the Cypress Bay Resort (cypressbayresort.com), a full-service, familyowned marina, to rent a pontoon boat if you don't have one of your own, then spend the day on the water.

The surrounding areas offer much in the way of lodging, from campsites to hotels and cabins, and activities.

Ft. Donelson National Battlefield, the site of Civil War battle on Feb. 14, 1862, is located in nearby Dover, Tenn. Tour the site to learn more about this historic battle, see the cannons along the river, take a hike through the woods and picnic in a field (you might also see deer while you eat). From July 1-3, a special Army and Navy exhibit will be featured at the museum; Saturday, July 2 will be Junior Ranger activity day. See www.nps. gov/fodo/index.htm for more information and rates.

Ready to take another step back into the 19th century or to get an up close and personal experience with bison and elk? Land Between the Lakes (www.lbl. org) gives the opportunity to do both and much, much more.

LBL is located between Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley and features hundreds of campsites, bike trails, hiking, fishing, boating, horseback riding, hunting, sightseeing and historic sites.

Facilities at LBL include the Woodlands Nature Station, where animals live in their natural habitats; an Elk and Bison prairie; mid-19th century homeplace; and a planetarium. Some activities are free, others cost from $2-4 per person.

Part seven in this series, Day Trippin' to Lauderdale County, will be published on Thursday, July 7.

A DASH OF COLOR Over the past few decades, Barbara McBride has taken commissioned jobs in portraiture and has pleased countless clients. At left, she touches up a few spots on a large portrait in the works. Over the past three years, McBride has enjoyed teaching an adult class privately.

For local artist, children come first Covington painter and world traveler says Covington's a new art epicenter

By TYLER LINDSEY tlindsey@covingtonleader.com “That one I painted while I was in Korea,” said Barbara McBride, cultured painter and creative community figure, upon being asked about an oil painting hanging in her house.

She, apparently, has been doing it since before she can remember; that is to say, all of her life.

However, she didn't take her first art class until her senior year of high school in Covington.

“I was always drawing, especially in high school,” she said. “I started painting in college.”

McBride went on to earn her bachelor of fine arts degree from the University of Tennessee.

Explaining whether she had any other interests to pursue in college, she quickly said, “No. I never really thought about it. I've never considered anything else."

From this period on, nearly wherever McBride found herself, she taught art classes.

In 1963, because of a longing to see the Far East, she joined the American Red Cross. After arriving in Korea, it wasn't long before she began painting there and eventually began exhibiting her work there.

Her art subjects encompassed observations of the natives in each location.

Due to a juxtaposition of cultural backgrounds, her painting style which began to resemble her environment.

"When I was in Korea, I painted with a palette knife in bright, bolder colors."

She explained that her education is unique in that she was taught expressionism first and then realism instead of the usual teaching of realism first.

During her traveling with the Red Cross, she taught

Children in McBride's summer art camp proudly display their paintings after a productive day in the teacher's home studio.

art for the Army Education Center and gave tours at different art museums around the world including the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

After Korea, McBride made Berlin her home for four years where she again exhibited her work and watched her style evolve into more earth tones and muted colors.

One of McBride's favorite stories took place in Germany.

"I had a show in Berlin and sold an abstract painting titled Seven Women, Three Boots, and a Bridge.

It cause more conversation than any other painting there because nobody could find them. They really weren't there. I thought it was the funniest thing."

In 1980, McBride received her master of arts in economics from Memphis State and moved back to West Tennessee.

From there, McBride tied herself up in mortgage lending while teaching at Memphis State as well as taking commissioned art projects. These jobs includ-

ing paintings of houses and eventually led to her current specialty of portraiture in acrylics.

"Now I paint with acrylics because they're so light. It's good to do portraits with because of that," she said.

Over these past few years, she has made it a mission of hers to stir artistic creativity in the youth of Tipton County.

For the past three years, McBride has taught privately out of her home studio. Monday-Thursday, she teaches a children's summer art camp in the afternoons in week-long increments which she says the children love. On Tuesday mornings and Wednesday evenings she instructs an adult class.

Her niece, Cejae Hall, serves as a prime inspiration in this and other endeavors.

Last year, Hall expressed a deep longing for a way for her and her friends to be a part of a theatrical production.

McBride, a member of the Tipton Arts Council, decided she'd try to make

it happen. Last year, the first Theatrical Summer Camp was a hit with "101 Dalmatians." Acclaim for the production buzzed ever since and last week the TAC and CIAA collaborated again to help students put on "The Jungle Book."

"I think it's wonderful.

The Tipton Arts Council said if I coordinated it then they'd do it. After the teachers at CIAA and the school board were up for it, we started planning it. The main thing is for childrn to realize that if they wish we as a community had something that we don't, then they should voice it to an adult. We're filling a huge need and it's important. There's no reason we shouldn't be doing this."

McBride has also taught economics at Dyersburg State Community College Jimmy Naifeh Center where she has coordinated the art exhibit for 13 years. Any artist interested in showing their art at DSCC or in taking art classes can contact McBride at 237-4006.

What's Wrong?

Recently a Bible class teacher asked his class, “What’s wrong with America?” One student gave what he thought was a smart aleck answer and responded, “I don’t know and I don’t care.” The student was surprised by the next words of his teacher. Instead of being reprimanded for his response, the teacher said, “That’s right!” Ignorance (not knowing) and apathy (not caring) are the two greatest problems that face our country and the church.

The following statements have often been made and applauded as true.

“What you don’t know won’t hurt you.” “Ignorance is bliss!” Several years ago, the Hatchie River bridge on US Hwy. 51 collapsed. Several died on that bridge because they were not aware of the problems concerning the bridge. Did what they not know not hurt them? On the contrary, what they did not know caused them to lose their lives that night and wake up in eternity. A bank customer went to the doctor for a routine check up. By chance, the doctor ran a particular test that showed he had an aneurysm in a major artery. The artery could have ruptured at any time and he would have bled to death before the problem could have been detected. Did he wish he had not found out about his problem? Had he rather have been ignorant about his condition?

Of course not, he was thankful to the doctor for his diligence and regards him as having saved his life.

The above underscore the fact that ignorance is not a good thing. In fact, it may be harmful or even fatal in a physical sense. Some family members who have a loved one with a terminal illness will not tell them the truth about their condition judging that it is better that they do not know.

Does not that loved one deserve to know? There may be business he wants to finish. His life may not be right with the Lord. How can we withhold information that might

affect one’s eternal destiny?

The majority in this world and even in our country and community do not want to know about God. They are content to live as they please without God. They seldom attend any church or pray or even think of God unless there is a crisis in their lives. They reason that things are going pretty well for them, therefore God must be happy with them. They think if something were wrong, God would let them know. They mistake God’s “blessing” with God’s approval. Jesus makes it clear that the unjust enjoy the same blessings as the just. Mt 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. The majority of us are like the proverbial ostrich with its head buried in the sand and exposed everywhere else thinking it is safe and protected and not understanding it is vulnerable.

God will allow us to believe a lie, to ignorantly believe we are all right and the way we are going is all right.

2Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Yes, God does tell us when we are wrong and when we are right. It is not by direct revelation or some windfall that blesses us or calamity that befalls us. (Remember Job.) He tells us by His Word but most of us do not know the Word. Joh 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. Joh 12:48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. We know about politics, the weather, science, mathematics and business but we do

Phone : 476-2631

not know the answer to the greatest questions of eternal consequence, “ What must I do to be saved?” and “What must I do to keep saved?”

James gives us the answer to our lack of knowledge. Jas 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. Only looking into the book (the Bible) and being obedient to it will save us.

Man’s lack of knowledge is not something new. Hosea lamented for his people concerning the same problem. Ho 4:6 ¶ My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. We tend to think that God will overlook our ignorance of His will and His way but He will not. Ac 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent. You can be going down the highway and the speed limit change from 55 to 45.

You may miss the sign. If the trooper pulls you over, we will not excuse you for not knowing the speed limit was lower. Ignorance of the law of the land is no excuse. Ignorance of God’s law is no excuse either. The Bible is crystal clear about who will be punished when Jesus comes again.

Listen to Paul’s words. 2Th 1: 7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Those who do not know and those who do not obey will be lost. With all God has done for us He expects (and has the right so to do) us to know Him and His Word.

Anything less is unacceptable!
