P Phoenix Tick e t
Com m enfs

During the last 10 years,
Phoenix has been afflicted
with an ever-growing bureau
cracy that is dedicated to
making surveys and building
little other than an elaborate
network of officialdom.
We of the Phoenix Ticket
have joined hands to offer
the voters an administration
of sound, dynamic action
not just grand-scale dreaming.
True, careful planning is
necessary, but it is without
meaning if it fails to bring
positive results.
Itshould be remembered that
most major civic improve;
ments in the last 10 years,
including the library, airport,
fire stations and expanded
water system were begun be-
fore the ascendancy of the
present administration.
The most shocking examp pie
of City Halls inaction is the
tragic death rate from auto
mobile accidents, already
standing at 80 fatalities this
year. We believe this is not
the fault of the police, but of
the materialistic scale of
values under which they are
constrained to operate A law
officer should not find it
necessary to waste time fer
reting out minor violations for
revenue-raising reasons. His
time--aS it is now sadly OBJ
viouS-- should be used to
range widely in an all-out
effort to make the city safe.
Another glaring exam DE of
a lack of dynamic action is
the disgraceful condition of
arterial streets. After 10 con-
secutive years of power, a
decade during v.hich the city

that was never done.
He wishes us to come that we
may have life.
Surely there can be no greater
gift than eternal life in a passing
and dying world. Christ wishes
you to come with all your sins, and
come now that you may have ever
lasting life. If you fail to come the
blame is all and only yours.
Years ago the papers contained
the account of a man who took his
own life by jumping into the bay.
A man on the wharf threw him a
rope that fell within a few inches
Of his hands. Instead of Selling
the rope he deliberately pushed
it away and went down to a
watery grave. Today c h r i S I
throws out the lifeline that every
sinful sinking soul may be saved
with an everlasting salvation!
Sieze the lifeline and Christ will
draw you to Himself!

BY Rev. Cecil Mulloy, Pastor
Eastside Baptist Mission, Durant.
And We will come to me, tha'
We may have life. John $40
Man wandered away from God
and not God from man. Adam
turned the Garden of Eden int
a mighty gulf, that separated him
and all mankind from God and
righteousness. This great gull
Christ bridged with His own bruis-
ed and bleeding body, thus making
possible the way home.
The clear and emphatic teaching
of the text is that Christ wishes us
to come. He does not mock us In
our sin and misery. 1t is man,
not God, that delights in mans UNI
doing. God delights not in the
death of the wicked but r~ejoices
in the presence Of His angels over
one sinner that returns. The sin
ner can never experience the Joy
in coming home that Christ feels
in welcoming him home.
He wishes us to come as we are.
The sinner must come to Christ
with his sins, and be saved by
Christ from his sins. If one can
get rid of his sins without Christ
then there is no need of his COM
ing to Christ. The condition of the
prodigal would have remained UNI
changed as long as he remained
In the far country. It was when he
reached home that he was fed and
clothed. Christ came to call, not
the righteous, but sinners to re-
pentance.
He wishes us to come now.
Christ makes no promise to the
lost sinner for tomorrow-today, if
you will hear His voice, harden
not your heart. He deals in the
everything, eternal present. All
the years that n past were once
the present, and all the years that
shall be must become the present.
Now is the accepted time and
now is the day of salvation.
A preacher visited a man who
was dying in a hospital, away
from his family and without hope
and without God. The preacher re-
quested the privilege Of talking
with him concerning the salvation
Of his soul. With all possible po-
likeness he suggested the preacher
wait until tomorrow. The follow
ing day the preacher called and
he begged to be excused on account
of nervousness. The man asked
the preacher to return tomor-
row." And whatever his condition
he would talk to him about his
soul. The preacher called the next
day, but the mans body was at
the morgue, his soul in eternity
There is nothing to be gained
and everything to be lost by de.
lay. Procrastination is not only the
thief Of time but of eternity. The
highway of the years is strewr
with the wreck of splendid pur.
poses, the kindly word that was
never spoken, the generous deed

The legally-regulated beer
industry has added substan-
tally to Mississippi's growth.
Now employing nearly 10000
persons, the 5000 beer retail
ers and 81 wholesalers in
Mississippi have an invest
ment of over $28 million in
trucks, buildings and equip
ment.
The legal beer industry pro-
vides an important market
for a wide variety of farm
produce, too.
The states tax on malt
beverages is one of the highest
in the nation. Largely through
public acceptance of this
beverage of moderation, legal
ly-regulated beer still brings
about 81 million in taxes a
year: nearly one-fourth the
sum needed to retain Home
stead Exemption, and impor-
tant funds for Old Age pen
Sions, school and rural road
programs and other necessary
government functions.
