For our Hope Devotional this
week, I would like to quote a former
President of the United States,
Ronald Reagan:
"This nation cannot continue
turning a blind eye and a deaf ear to
the taking of some 4,000 unborn
children's lives every day. We can-
not pretend that America is pre-
serving her first and highest ideal,
the belief that each life is sacred,
when we've permitted the deaths of
* 15 million helpless innocents since
the Roe vs. Wade decision.
"Fifteen million children who will
never laugh, never sing, never know
the joy of human love. Abortion has
denied them the most basic ofhuman
rights. We are all infinitely poorer
for their loss.
"This nation fought a terrible war
so that black Americans would be
guaranteed their God given rights.
Abraham Lincoln recognized that
we could not survive as a free land
where Bome could decide whether
others should be free or slaves.
"Well, today another question
begs to be asked. How can we sur-
vive as a free nation when some
decide that others are not fit to live
and should be done away with? I
believe no challenge is more impor-
tant to America than restoring the
right to to life to all human beings.
"Without that right, no other
rights have meaning. 'Suffer the
little children to come unto Me, and
forbid them not, for such is the
Kingdom of God.m
(Spoken before the NRB Conven-
tion, January 31,1984.)
*The only difference in this situ-
ation in January, 1990 is instead of
the deaths of 15 million helpless
innocents, that number has in-
creased to over 25 million!
May we be in prayer for America
and this year purpose in our hearts
that we will attempt to be a nation,
a people, an individual that is pleas-
ing unto God and His Word.
Slave a great week!

Local chapter of ACS
holds January meeting
By Mrs. Beth Capps
On Wednesday, Dec. 13, Joey
Pate, son of the Rev. and Mrs. Tho-
mas Pate Jr. flew from Interconti-
nental Airport in Houston to Milan,
Italy, for an eventful and enjoyable
holiday season. He accompanied his
grandmother, Beth Capps of
Jacksonville for a Christmas visit to
the home of his aunt Dianne. His
aunt and her husband, the Rev.
Michael Parsons, pastor and Super-
intendent of Italy for the United
Pentecostal Church International,
took Joey and his grandmother on
exciting trips. They went to Swit-
zerland for a time of shopping and
sightseeing i rito the beautiful Swiss
Alps.
They also visited France and
French Hi viera. Monaco was another
of the highlights of his trip. There
he visited the palace of Prince Ra-
nier, where he witnessed thechang-
ing of the guards. The beautiful
coastal scenery and the villas of the
very wealthy were sights to remem-
ber. The tomb of Princess Grace
(Kelly) was beautifully lined with
Flowers on the day after Christmas
when he visited the cathedral in
which she was entombed.
The Amsterdam stop was one he
will not soon forget. Trying to con-
verse with people, who speak Eng-

Joey Pate
lish as a second or third language,
can be quite a chore for a U.S. for-
eigner.
He er\joyed spending the lire,
francs, etc. but converting U.S.
dollars into foreign money is quite a
problem in math. Even a math
teacher might have difficulty at
times. Paying 27,000 lire instead of
$20 for an item seems quite mind
boggling.
The day s s pent i n Italy were event-
ful (including being ill). He climbed
to the very top of the Duomo, which
is one of the largest cathedrals in
the world. Simply riding a tram to
town to go shopping was quite an
adventure.
Each of his experiences, includ-
ing the food (which he tried to eat)
has been unforgettable for a 13 year
old young man, who had a very
Merry Christmas except for the fact
that Mom, Dad and Nikki were so
far away.
When the plane landed in Hous-
ton on the evening of Dec. 28, Joey
was filled with many pleasant
memories, but he was happy to be
able to tell his parents in person of
his holiday visit to Europe.
The Cherokee South Chapter of
the American Cancer Society met at
5:15 p.m. on January 8 in the con-
ference room of the Main Building
at Rusk State Hospital. The atten-
dance was such that additional
chairs had to be located.
Dennis Perkins, the staff repre-
sentative from Lufkin explained the
services that the Society provides to
residence of Cherokee County and
their associated expense. The bene-
fits that the area has received ap-
pears to have consistently exceeded
our contribution. Because of the

Selective Service
gives good news
for 26 year-olds
Young men who will turn 26 in
1990 will be reaching an important
milestone, according to the Selec-
tive Service System.
Beginning on Jan. 1 1990, men
who were required to register with
Selective Service in 1982 will be
turning 26 and will no longer be
eligible for induction should a draft
be reinstituted. Selective Service
does not have the authority to ac-
cept late registrations after a man
reaches his 26th birthday.
Selective Service State Director
Harold D. Doyle warned that, with
few exceptions, a man who fails to
register before turning 26 will per-
manently forfeit his eligibility for
certain benefits such as federal
student aid, job training, and most
federal employment in addition to
facing possible prosecution as a
felon.
Some states also require registra-
tion for state student aid, entrance
to state-supported colleges and
universities, state employment and
permission to practice law.
Doyle points out that men age 18
through 25 who have not yet regis-
tered can avoid the risk of prosecu-
tion and loss of benefits by register-
ing promptly at any local post office.
Failure to register is a felony pun-
ishable by a fine of up to $250,000,
up to five years in prison, or both.
Over 14 million men, age 18
through 25, are currently registered
with Selective Service. Over one
million of those registered are from
Texas.
table contribution, it was generally
agreed that the Unit, would concen-
trate its fund raising efforts on the
Residential and Business Cancer
Crusade scheduled for April.
We are very pleased that several
board members have volunteered to
serve the Society in various essen-
tial roles. Mrs. Del Cox will be the
Unit's Communications Chairper-
son. Mrs. Kay Hunter and Mrs.
Melba Darrow Ballard will Co-Chair
Public Education. Boyd andCathry n
Newman offered to prepare a pam-
phlet identifying the services avail-
able to area residences for distribu-
tion in various public locations. Ed
Glenn will assist in preparing the
monthly meeting notices and Mau-
rene Glenn co-chair the crusade
effort.
The unit's next meeting will be at
5:15 p.m. Feb. 5 in the conference
room of the Main Building at Rusk
State Hospital. The interested pub-
lic is invited to attend. If you have
any questions related to the Soci-
ety, contact Mrs. Hunter, 683-4285
or Mrs. Ballard, 795-3641.
We are pleased to add our
Congratulations
to the Texas Department of
Criminal Justice on completion
of its nearly $8 million
Psychiatric Facility.
Everyone can be proud of this first of its
kind in the state and nation. We look
forward to continued growth in service
by this fine facility.
