From January through March, farmers across the country nominated their local public school districts for the grants. Once nominated, these districts were eligible to submit completed grant applications in April. Over the past month, a panel of educators from ineligible counties reviewed all of the grant applications. The strongest submissions were selected as finalists and will be sent to the America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education Advisory Council for final review. Composed of farmer-leaders from across the U.S. with a vested interest in both agriculture and education, the Advisory Council will select the winning school districts. This local school district is in the running for a grant of up to $25,000: • DeWitt School District The winning grant recipients will be announced in early August. Last year, Grow Rural Education invested $35,000 in
public school districts across Arkansas to improve math and science curriculum. Since 2012, Arkansas school districts have received $110,000 through the program. Grow Rural Education grants have allowed rural schools to invest in the enhancement of student learning in math and science. Past grant recipients used funding for projects such as technology and scientific lab equipment upgrades, greenhouses and outdoor classroom learning environments, teacher and curriculum development and other math and science related initiatives.

FAITH & RELIGION WEEKLY SERMON
A Woman Rides The Beast (No. 2) By Tom Smith Last week we spoke of the woman riding the Beast, as seen in Rev. 17:7. We showed by Scripture that this Woman is a Church, and we see in Scripture that John proves the woman’s identity beyond any reasonable doubt. But before I go any further, I want to clear the air, so to speak. We hold no ill feelings toward Catholic people. We love them just as we love the Methodist, Baptist, or any other religious group! Fact is, there has been Catholic people in the family. And though we heartily disagree with their doctrine, we hold ho grudges against the people themselves. It is rather our bounden duty to point all people to Jesus Christ, not to the Virgin Mary, not to a pope, and not to a church with its man-made rules! Some of our readers may have misunderstood our motive in preaching against the Catholic Church. But let it be said that it is a spirit of anti-Christ in that church that we come against, and not the people themselves! The Woman that rides the Beast in Rev. 17:7 is a City built on seven hills, and reigns over the Kings of the Earth. Only one City, for more than 2,000 years, has been known as the City on Seven Hills. That City is Rome. The Catholic Encyclopedia itself states, “It is within the City of Rome, called the City of Seven Hills, that the entire area of Vatican State Proper is now confined.” The first thing we are told about this Woman is that she is a Whore! Rev. 17:1 “ - - - - I will show unto thee the Judgement of the Great Whore that sitteth upon many Waters” (water represents people). (Please read this in your own Bible and let it soak in.) Friends, this is God’s Word we are dealing with, not the teaching of some men! In Rev. 17:2, “The Kings of the Earth have committed fornication with her, and been made drunk with her false teaching. Thousands of good Catholic people are not thinking clearly! Why would a City be called a Whore? Why would a City be accused of having committed Fornication with Kings? Is it not because her Worldly Pomp and Glory, and her World-Wide Power has caused the people to marvel at her beauty, and therefore receive her anti-Christ teaching? John the Revelator himself did marvel at her beauty! That is, until The Lord revealed the truth to him. It is no secret to the informed reader today, that the Roman Church holds most of the world’s wealth! Much of that wealth has been acquired by the Sale of Prayers for People whose Salvation was in question, who were in a place called Purgatory (after death). The teaching being that a Catholic Priest, with the proper financial incentive, could pray and save that soul from hell! No greater deception could be dreamed up by an unspiritual mind! The more one probes into the history of the Catholic Church, and also of its current practices, the more clearly we see the truth of John’s revelation, given to him centuries before it would all be brought to light! John’s attention was drawn to the inscription on the Woman’s forehead, “Mystery Babylon the Great, The Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth.”(Rev. 17:5) Much of the Catholic Church’s evil history can be traced to its unscriptural teaching that its Priests should not marry! The apostle Paul left that decision up to the individual, and so must we! Amen!
A Thought
When You’re Afraid By Tom Smith Fear. It comes in all shapes and sizes. Its sources are seemingly endless. And, it’s known by many different names: anxiety, panic, phobia, worry, nervousness, dread, horror, fright, terror, alarm, trepidation, etc. But, they’re all still the same and produce the same result in us. That’s why we need to know how to recognize it for what it is and how to cope—yea, even conquer—it. The Bible teaches us that “God hasn’t given us the spirit of fear— but of power, love and a sound mind” (II Timothy 1:7). Therefore, it comes from somewhere else. And, where might that be? Believe it or not, we’re born with it. Yes, fear—like anger, sadness, happiness, etc.—is one of our primary emotions. And, we express them in many different ways. But, it doesn’t mean we have to let them control us, especially when it comes to their destructive ways. A baby doesn’t have to be taught to be afraid. A loud noise will startle him and he’ll immediately begin to scream at the top of his voice. If she feels like she’s being dropped, she’ll cry uncontrollably until she’s held tightly and comforted. And, sometimes traumatic experiences in those early years will affect a child for the rest of his/her life. It might be a car accident. Or, getting bitten by an animal. Or, being burned. Or, being emotionally, mentally, physically or sexually abused. All of these—especially in one’s formative years—can result in various phobias that last a lifetime. But, that doesn’t mean we have to be controlled by them. King David wrote in Psalm 27:1, “The LORD is my Light and my Salvation. Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the Strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” However, in Ps. 56:3 he also wrote, “What time I am afraid, I will trust in You.” Thus, it’s clear: Faith is the antidote of fear. When Faith arises, fear flees—just as darkness flees when the sun arises. Hallelujah!! The story is told of a pastor flying overseas on a jumbo jet for vacation. While enroute, the plane encountered heavy turbulence. For a number of min-

Bro. Dennis Ingle Pastor Jason Burke Assc. Pastor/ Youth Minister Perry Simpson Music
By Michael P. Daniel “ … Jesus spoke to the multitudes in parables, and without a parable He did not speak to them, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying ‘I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things kept secret from the foundation of the world’” (Matthew 13:34-35). Because we have been conditioned over generations toward Jesus’ many parables each with its own distinct meaning, we are often inclined to overlook certain parables and take them for granted as having been figured out. While we might agree there may be only one meaning for any particular parable, we cheat ourselves when we strike one off the “list” of things completed – especially when it comes to the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven which the parables speak to and teach about. So when we believe we have “finished” any portion of the Scriptures, we stop reaching; and when we stop reaching, we stop growing spiritually. It is the reason there are so many “mature” Christians who have become stunted in their growth; it’s all “figured out”, the ‘secrets’ have been revealed. Nothing could be further from the truth! There are treasures within each parable Jesus teaches that demand a closer look, and it is the reason why our Wesleyan Methodist heritage has an official “discipline”, a discipline which transcends denominational “rules” and promotes and encourages the many “means of grace”. The study of the Scriptures is a lifelong journey in search of “joy unspeakable” which can only be revealed as we draw nearer. We must never forget that discipleship can never be considered a “hobby” nor is it a way of living. It is Life itself which comes only from The Word. Blessings, Michael
utes the airliner was tossed around like a child’s toy by the wind currents, air pockets, etc. The overhead bin doors popped opened and some of the carry-on luggage fell out. Some of the oxygen masks even dropped down on the seated passengers below. Needless to say, everyone was afraid. Except for one little girl across the aisle from the pastor who seemed oblivious to what was going on. During the whole, frightening ordeal she just sat there in her seat. . .coloring in her coloring book. . .humming various songs. Although gripping his seat’s armrests with white-knuckled grips and praying like he’d never prayed before, the pastor stared in amazement at the young girl. “How can she be so calm in a time like this?” he whispered to himself. “She must be the strongest Christian I’ve ever seen,” he thought. So, after the flight landed and the passengers were getting off, he bent over to the still-coloring little girl and said, “Young lady, I want you to know that I’m a pastor and I watched you during the scary part of the flight and noticed you weren’t worried. What kept you from being afraid?” She smiled and said, “My daddy’s the pilot.” What simple, childlike trust! And, dear Reader, in reality, that’s the same type of trust we should have in the Heavenly Father. Truly, He’s a sparrowwatching, hair-counting, tear-catching God and loves us very, very much (Matthew 6:25-34; 10:2931; Psalm 56:8). Therefore, place your trust in Him today, knowing He loves you and has promised to “never leave you or forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5b; Ps. 46:1). That way you’ll not succumb to fear when everything’s falling apart. And, when others ask how you can be so calm, cool and collected, you can reply “Oh, my Daddy’s the Pilot.” (NOTE: If you’d like to contact Bro. Tom or receive his daily e-mail devotional, entitled “Morning Manna,” you can write him at P.O. Box 10614, Fort Smith, AR 72917 or e-mail him at pressingon@hotmail.com).

City Council Approves Resolutions for Hospital and Airport Grants By Terrye Seamon Everyone needs a little help now and then, and the DeWitt City Council extended their hand Monday night by passing resolutions which will allow DeWitt Hospital and Nursing Home and DeWitt Municipal Airport Whitcomb Field to apply for grants. These grants will allow the hospital to purchase a new digital X – Ray machine and the airport to fund the repair and expansion of the apron. The Council unanimously passed a motion to approve Resolution 2014-07 which will allow the hospital to apply for a $50,000 grant. The USDA Rural Development Community Facilities Loans and Grant will go towards the cost of purchasing a new digital X-Ray machine. Annie Scroggin, radiology director at the hospital, said the number of cases the current equipment services has quadrupled since it was purchased in 2004. “The original machine was never designed to do the number of exams that we are performing today,” Scroggin told Council members. The current X-Ray equipment was guaranteed a life span of 5-7 years, and it has been in service now 10 years. Scroggin said replacement parts for the current machine are no longer available, and it barely passed inspection this year. Inspectors recommended that the machine be replaced, or it probably would not pass inspection in the future. The new equipment is designed to last 10-15 years. The total cost of the new machine is approximately $200,000, and the grant would cover 25 percent of the cost. City Attorney T. Buie said although the city doesn’t own the current machine and won’t own the new equipment, the city does own the underlying facility and approved the additional sales tax that helps support the hospital. Approving this resolution “shows the city’s support of them applying for that grant and purchasing that equipment,” Buie said. In the area of new business, the Council unanimously passed motions to approve Resolution 2014 – 08 and Ordinance 774 concerning DeWitt Municipal Airport Whitcomb Field. Resolution 2014-08 authorizes the go ahead to enter into a grant agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration for repairing and expanding the airport’s apron. The estimated cost of the project is $51,700, and the FAA grant would fund 90 percent of the cost. The remaining 10 percent, which is owner funded, will be reimbursed from the Arkansas Department of Aeronautics once the project is completed. Ordinance Number 774 allows for the automatic bank withdrawal of funds to pay the airport’s Grand Prairie Regional Water District, CenturyTel, and First Electric Cooperative utility bills. In another area of new business, the DeWitt City

Council unanimously approved Resolution 2014-09 accepting a property donation from Black, Inc. The property behind DeWitt Publishing Company, which was the previous location of Big D’s grocery store, will be used now to store materials for the city’s street department. In the area of old business concerning a proposal to ban leaf burning within city limits, Mayor Relyea informed the Council that he thought they had a grant to buy leaf-removal equipment, but they don’t. “We are back to not having money to do this at the present time,” Relyea said. The Mayor also said he visited with several constituents who suggested if a leaf-banning ordinance becomes a reality, that provisions be made for so many days a month to be set aside for leaf burning because of the over abundance of tree limbs in the city. “Most towns that have a ban have a 10,000 plus population,” Relyea said. He also said if the city doesn’t ban leaf burning, maybe they could set some guidelines such as specific times of day and specific items citizens could burn. The Public Works committee is going to continue to investigate the possible proposal, and the Council will keep the topic on the agenda and revisit it at the August meeting. In another area of old business concerning street paving, the Mayor told Council members, “We will not be eligible for street aid until 2015.” The street aid grant program works in cycles, and DeWitt already received one of the grants in the current cycle. Mayor Relyea said the city is still going ahead with plans to pave 5th and 6th streets and Adams Street. The project will cost approximately $700,000, and the city currently has $800,000 in the Street Fund. The Mayor said he plans to start taking bids by the end of July and for the project to be finished by end of year. City Attorney T. Buie informed the Council that a trial date of May 18, 2015, has been set concerning the lawsuit filed against the city by Southern Arkansas County District Court Judge Park Eldridge concerning the funding of the deputy court clerk’s position. “There’s nothing happening right now, but there will be in the near future,” Buie said. He told the Council that setting the date is standard procedure. Deadlines will be given at various points throughout the process to meet certain criteria like filing motions, etc. Buie told Council members that he will keep them posted as they go along. City Attorney Buie and Mayor Relyea also discussed with the Council the idea of electronically coding city ordinances after 1960. The process, which costs $3,600, would make researching city laws a lot easier for city staff, Council members and citizens via the city’s website. Relyea and Buie are still researching the
