Allen Camper Company in 58th Year of Service Despite the rumors, the Allen Camper Manufacturing Company has not closed their doors but simply downsized to keep pace with the slower statewide economy and cuts in oil production. It was a difficult but necessary decision made by the owners of the company to layoff part of their production crew. After taking a week off earlier this month, the company started back at a
slower pace and unfortunately eleven employees were cut with the hope that they will be recalled as business picks up. At this time, ten full time and several part time employees are still with the company and business continues as usual. E.C. Peay founded Allen Camper Mfg Co. in 1958 by accident. E.C. became dissatisfied with the models on the market at that time and decided to
build his own. Before he got it finished, somebody bought it from him. He sold four before he could
get one build one for himself. The sale of recreational vehicles continued to
grow to and became the family business when sons Jerry Peay, Tom Peay and Dale Peay joined the

The “good old days” continue to make a comeback! To my delight more bookstores are opening than closing. Ann Patchett and Karen Hayes are partners in a bookstore and she recently wrote the following . . . “When Karen Hayes and I opened Parnassus Books in Nashville a little over four years ago, I repeatedly said that we were part of a trend. The small independent bookstore, long ago beaten down by Borders and Barnes & Noble, then repeatedly kicked by Amazon, was rising up from the ashes. “People were tired of pointing and clicking. People were tired of screens in general. They no longer wanted one store that promised them everything but instead were longing for a store that sold good books, had a staff of smart readers, a thriving children’s section, and maybe a couple of shop dogs. That is what we were offering. “I don’t know if I’m prophetic or just lucky, but what was at the time not much more than wishful thinking has turned out to be true. New stores are opening; old stores are branching out into new locations. In Nashville, we’re not only doubling our size in 2016, we’ve bought a mobile book van. Booksellers are, generally speaking, a cautious group when it comes to voicing optimism, but I sense a cultural shift coming on: Books and bookstores and reading are the wave of the future.” Although I don’t remember a local bookstore, I do remember my favorite place as a youngster was the local library. I still love reading and most of the time I have two or three books going. Friends have told me I need to get a Kindle. No, thank you. I love to hold a book, smell a book, and turn the pages. Speaking of the “good old days”, Joe Queenan asked the question, “Is it an accident that so many new films are set in bygone eras that do not have access to the technologies we take for granted? Or does this profusion of films laden with Paleolithic technology reflect the public’s subconscious desire to return to an earlier, less nerdy time when you couldn’t text friends to warn them that Dracula or a gigantic albino whale or an asteroid or a grizzly was coming? Cellphones and the Internet do not exist in such current films as “The Hateful Eight,” “Carol,” “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2,” “The Danish 3.5” x 2.5” | Maximum Font Size: 30 pt

Girl,” “Bridge of Spies,” “In the Heart of the Sea,” “Trumbo,” “Son of Saul” and “Macbeth.” The digital society was not yet invented when Philippe Petit did his epic World Trade Center tightrope promenade, as shown in the recent film “The Walk.” Mobiles and PCs were not around in the early days of hip-hop (last summer’s “Straight Outta Compton”) or in ancient China, where John Cusack turns up in a recent Jackie Chan film at the head of a Roman legion. Even “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” boasts super-high-tech spacecraft but not much in the way of cellular communication. And apparently no Internet. In the harrowing new film “The Revenant,” Leonardo DiCaprio plays a mountain man in the Old West who gets stabbed, shot, attacked by a bear, abandoned by his companions and buried alive. A cellphone would have really helped him out here, as would access to the Internet. It would have prevented his so-called friends from getting lost in the wilderness in the first place or at least would have given him a way to report the scoundrels to the relevant authorities. But these technologies did not exist in the early 19th century, so Mr. DiCaprio had to do things the old-fashioned way. He had to track down his faithless companions all by himself. No GPS. No texting. No 911. Had the Web existed in the 1950s, the setting for “Brooklyn,” the Irish heroine wouldn’t have been able to return home and start larking about with an eligible bachelor, because people would already know she had a husband back in New York. And she could have attended her sister’s funeral via Skype.

Modern technology hamstrings contemporary films, resulting in an awful lot of typing and texting, none of which makes for great cinema. People can’t just vanish into the Mojave Desert or Dodge City or the Hindu Kush the way they could in olden times, because someone will spot them in a group photo on Facebook. Even in “Spotlight,” in which Internet searches already exist, reporters do most of the investigative work by knocking on doors or rifling through old court filings. Likewise set in the recent past, last fall’s crime movie “Black Mass” also mostly keeps the Internet on the sidelines. People are sick of watching movie stars do Google searches. Especially gangsters. And, no, Yahoo wouldn’t be much better. Just as earlier generations adored ripping yarns set in eras that lacked trains and telegraphs and Gatling guns—“Treasure Island,” “Ben-Hur,” “The Scarlet Letter,” “Ivanhoe”—the appeal of many new films is that the hero can’t defeat his enemy by hacking into his PC or texting the cavalry to bail him out after the grizzly goes to town on him. These films let us take a vacation from the technological predictability of our daily lives. Mr. DiCaprio may get torn to pieces by a grizzly, abandoned by his friends and buried alive. But at least he doesn’t get spam. — Joe Queenan Wall Street Journal —CC— And speaking of the good old days, I recently overheard the following . . . “She’s in great shape for someone her age,” said a woman to her friend. “Well, replied her catty friend, “way back when she was born, things were built to last.”

Devotion of the Week How to Recognize a Christian A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. John 13:34 Consider how easy it is to tell the religious faith of many people in the world by their dress or actions. One religion’s members shave their heads, wear saffroncolored robes, play musical instruments, and chant and sing in public. The faithful of another religion stop and kneel for prayers, wherever they are, five times a day. Another religion’s orthodox members wear black coats and hats, white shirts, and have long, curly locks of hair or beards. What about Christians? Can you look at the crowd in a mall or an airport and tell who is a born-again follower of Jesus? There is only one mark Jesus asked His followers to display to the world: the mark of love. He told his disciples, “By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:35)—not if we dress or speak a certain way or act religious in a certain way, but if we have love for others. Loving people the way Jesus loves people is the true mark of His followers. Love is the highest kingdom value (see Romans 14:17; 1 Corinthians 13:13). Let your love and service for Christ be translated today into love and service for others. Smile of the Week A reporter asked a football coach the secret of his success in selecting young players. “I have a system,” the coach answered. “I take all the recruits into the woods. When I fire my gun, they all start running. The ones who run around the trees become my guards, and the ones who run into the trees become my tackles.” Postmaster send change of address to:

solicit ads for our school yearbook. I used encyclopedias often to check the correct spelling of words for those ads. One day I needed to look up a word that began with un. I could not believe there were so many words that began with un. I was so intrigued that I counted the number of pages that listed how to pronounce the words and the meaning of them. The number of pages in two dictionaries was nineteen that began that way. The number of words listed at the bottom of those pages that did not show the meaning and were in addition to those listed that did, was 1874 words. I kept looking at those words and they were all verbs or words that showed action. It was hard to believe there were so many. The two dictionaries I have are college editions and they were almost identical as to the number of pages and listings. I think I bought them from a salesman who came to my door one day many years ago. One is more advanced than the other but I have certainly used both of them many times. There is much more to these two books than you would ordinarily think of in a dictionary. One of the books lists all the colleges, junior colleges and universities in the

Voters Should Apply Early for Absentee Ballots
Vo t e r s i n P o n t o t o c County who want to have absentee ballots mailed to them for the February 9, 2016 Annual School Board Member Election for Allen, Asher, Gordon Cooper Technology Center or the Stonewall School Special Bond Election should apply now, County Election Board Secretary Marilyn McDaniel said. Although the County Election Board can accept applications for absentee ballots until 5 p.m. on Wednesday, February 3rd, McDaniel urged voters who want to vote by mail absentee ballot to apply early. Absentee ballot application forms are available at the County Election Board office located at 131 W. 13th. The absentee ballot application forms also can be downloaded and printed at: www.elections. ok.gov. “At least two mail transactions must be made,” McDaniel said. “The County Election Board must mail the ballots to the voter and the voter must return the voted ballots by mail.” Ballots must be in the hands of the County Election Board by 7 p.m. on Election Day in order to be counted. McDaniel said that any registered voter may vote by absentee ballot in any election in which he/she is eligible to vote. However, a voter must be registered and reside at an address within the geographical boundaries of a school district or a municipality to be eligible to vote in

school district or municipal elections. It is not necessary to give a reason— or excuse—for voting absentee. “While anyone can vote absentee without giving a reason, the law still provides several excuses, and it is to the advantage of some voters to use one of them,” McDaniel said. By stating one of the following reasons on their applications, these voters can activate some special conditions that make it easier for them to use absentee ballots. The reasons are: • Voters who are physically incapacitated and voters who care for physically incapacitated persons who cannot be left unattended may vote absentee. They may apply only by mail, by fax, or by email. • Voters who are confined to nursing homes in the county may vote absentee. An Absentee Voting Board actually goes to the nursing home a few days before the election, sets up a small polling place and allows these persons to vote under circumstances similar to those at a regular precinct polling place. They may apply only by mail, by fax, or by email. • Military personnel and residents of the county living overseas and the spouses and dependents of each group are eligible receive absentee ballots. These voters may apply only by mail, fax, or by email. Military personnel should contact the Voting Service Officers in their units for application forms and additional information or visit the Federal Voting Assistance Program website (www.fvap.gov/ oklahoma) for more information and instructions. Residents of Oklahoma living overseas can obtain the same materials from any United States military installation and from United States Embassies and Consulates as well as on the FVAP website.

One Pharmacist’s View Taking a vote on something doesn’t always help. Recent attempts to make people lay their phones down and drive safely ended in the legislature passing a new law against it. Everyone felt better anyway, whether it actually changed any behavior or not. Such decision making may trickle down to our classrooms. My favorite is the one where the first grade class can’t find out if their class pet, a rabbit, is a boy or girl rabbit. The teacher couldn’t tell so she had them vote on it. Then there is the first grade teacher who told her class that if anyone needed to go “P P” just hold up their hand. “How can that help?” asked one
Well. Let’s just vote on it.
little boy. Indeed! Some time back responsible lawmakers, alarmed at gun violence, started passing gun control laws. Some cities, places like Chicago and New York City passed very tough gun laws. In fact, it is practically impossible to buy or possess a gun there. When the crime rate with guns and murder rate just kept on climbing the lawmakers made the laws tighter until they had the strongest anti-gun-laws in the country. Baffled, they then wanted all their laws made national and the same political thinking brought federal gun control to America. So

We enjoyed the morning even though the weather was cold. We have been blessed, but winter is here and we have to expect some cold temperatures. We have several on our prayer list and need to remember them daily. Bro. Larry has a daughterin-law who was in a car wreck and may lose her foot. How quickly our lives can change. But God is in control. Murphy and Larry sang a medley of songs including “In the Garden,” Just a Closer Walk with Thee,” and “What a Friend we have in Jesus.” Kathy Spillman joined with Sharla in singing “Breath of Heaven.” We always enjoy having them visit and sing for us. Bro. Larry’s sermon was taken from Isaiah 43:17 and entitled “Time to Come Home.” God has created us and has a purpose for our lives. That purpose is to know and serve Him. Many are unaware that God even knows them, because they don’t know Him. If they don’t think about God, why would they think he cares about them? God gave us his only son to bring us to Him. Some of us have been away from home for a long time. Although God loved the people of Israel they were in exile, far
popular” Merkel, many liked to think of the refugees as deserving of help, and a desire to rescue these hapless Syrian Christians and other victims seemed commendable. But we need to be careful. Like Germany, you won’t get what you want. There are people now running for president on the issue of immigration. While opposing mass immigration may tag one as a racist, American’s need to review carefully what’s happening in Europe. I know it toughens my attitude.

Atwood Nazarene We enjoyed the morning even though the weather was cold. We have been blessed, but winter is here and we have to expect some cold temperatures. We have several on our prayer list and need to remember them daily. Bro. Larry has a daughterin-law who was in a car wreck and may lose her foot. How quickly our lives can change. But God is in control. Murphy and Larry sang a medley of songs including “In the Garden,” Just a Closer Walk with Thee,” and “What a Friend we have in Jesus.” Kathy Spillman joined with Sharla in singing “Breath of Heaven.” We always enjoy having them visit and sing for us. Bro. Larry’s sermon was taken from Isaiah 43:17 and entitled “Time to Come Home.” God has created us and has a purpose for our lives. That purpose is to know and serve Him. Many are unaware that God even knows them, because they don’t know Him. If they don’t think about God, why would they think he
cares about them? God gave us his only son to bring us to Him. Some of us have been away from home for a long time. Although God loved the people of Israel they were in exile, far away form home. Their disobedience had led them astray. Some had been “through the waters” and “through the fire.” Those who walk with Jesus have Him to comfort them in such times. Those who are walking alone will find themselves in anguish and despair.
God is calling those who are far off to come home. Some of us have been wandering aimlessly in the far country for a long time. Others of us may have simply lost our way for a time. We want to be restored to a close relationship with God. No matter what has held us, he wants us to come home. The last Sunday night of this month we will host the Fifth Sunday Singing. We invite you to come hear the gospel in song.

L ooking out the window, I thought that it was a beautiful, sunshiny January day. Walking out the door, I learned that looks can be deceiving and that my jacket was all looks and no warmth! It was an especially good day to enter into the gates of the church sanctuary. R ight away, I started fulfilling my duty as a typical church member to find something to criticize. When I opened the church bulletin it was apparent that the songs had not been placed strategically. “Freely, Freely” was first, and “Precious Lord Take my Hand” was scheduled just before the offering. Perhaps if it been the other way around the plate offering would have been larger! Just thought this was something they would want to know. There was some good information on the other page in the bulletin, though. We will have the January Fellowship Meal
next Sunday after the morning worship service. Also, the South Canadian Association Rally will be held at the FBC in Seminole. It begins at 5:00 in the evening on January 24th. J o y c e S e a r c y s a n g “Sheltered in the Arms of God” as the special music this week. Joyce is one of those people who does really, really well with everything she takes on, but I especially enjoy hearing her sing this song. Its message is appropriate in this day and time, and as it happened, this song was the perfect introduction to the sermon. B ro. Dwight Dickey, our guest speaker, based the message, “The Exclusivity of Christianity,” on John 1:1-18 and John 14:6. He posed the question, “Is it true that all religions worship the same God?” and “Are Christians too critical and judgmental of others faults and beliefs?”

of other religions is that each religion thinks they are fundamentally superior to the others. Which one, though, really teaches beliefs that are most loving and receptive to those who differ? At the heart of the Christian belief system is a man who died for others, praying for His enemies. Though our faith began with few people, it grew rapidly because, following Christ’s example, Christians practiced sacrificial service, generosity, peaceful relationships with others, and a genuine acceptance of converts from many different backgrounds. Through the past 2000 years Christians have done some horrible things, but it was not because our fundamental beliefs are wrong. In fact, the more fundamental Christians become the more loving and merciful we should be. Believe in Jesus for who He is and what He did. This week pray for those you dislike the most. Christianity can’t save the world. H owever, Jesus gives us the privilege of being the ones to share the good news that He is the One who came to save the world, and not condemn it. He allows us to participate in the power of prayer, and He gives us the responsibility of saying the words and treating all people in a Part of the conflict be- way that shares the amaztween Christians and those ing love of Christ with them. The answers are “No,” and “Sometimes.” In recent years Christians are regarded by many as being intolerant and disrespectful of others beliefs. They find it offensive that Christians claim that heaven is for those who have put their trust and faith in Jesus. After all, most religions teach people to be good and to do good for others. They say that almost all religions point us to God, and Christians believe in only one of those ways. The book of John points out 7 signs that Jesus is truly God. It also records 7 statements Jesus made in which he claims to be God. Jesus also clearly states that He is the way to the Father not a way. Though they don’t regard themselves as exclusive and disrespectful, Buddhism, Islam, and Judaism also claim to be the true way. Why place our trust only in Jesus then? The first reason is that Jesus fulfilled all the prophecies about Him in the Old Testament. Second, He lived a sinless and miraculous life. Third, Jesus predicted and accomplished his own resurrection. He completely conquered death, never to die again. Because Jesus conquered the death that Adam and Eve’s sin brought into the world, we can live eternally, too.
