BIBLE PROMISE IS OUTLINED FOR WITNESSES "Mankind's greatest needl will be satisfied soon b yl means of a new system of things yet to be made, thc\ 'coming system of things' of which |he Bible speaks at Mark 10:29,30. This was the Bible promise outlined Sunday, Nov. 13, at Cary Grove high school by Angelo C. Manera, Jr., a special representative of the Watchtower Bible and Tract society of Brooklyn, N.Y. Manera spoke to an audience of 1,927 on the theme, "Satisfying Mankind's Greatest Need." "Efforts by man to solve mankind's problems," he said, "are being undermined and there are three things doing this: pride, selfishness and inborn sin. Mr. Manera showed from the Bible that Jehovah God has provided what mankind needs, a new sytem of things for mankind's blessing. This is the Christian system o f things, brought in through the death of his Son, Jesus Christ, which provides the basis for solving the problems of mankind. Manera urges his listeners to live for the coming system of things, to mold their lives in harmony with God's will, so that they might look forward confidently to the fact that Jehovah God, in our generation, will usher in that new system that will satsify all of mankind's needs. Manera's discourse was the climax of a three-day convention of Jehovah's Witnesses designed to aid the attending ministers to strengthen the spirituality of their families and those to whom they minister. On Saturday, thirty-f our new ministers were ordained, symbolizing their dedication to God by water immersion in keeping with the baptism of Jesus. On Saturday evening an audience of 2,050 viewed a new film "God Canpot Lie," a color presentation of the story of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, which included views of many sites from Biblical history. The Friday evening session included a model ministry school of the type provided for the ministers in each local congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses in 199 lands and islands all over the earth. This was followed by a sound film titled, "Heritage." a portrayal of the need for close family unity in study of the Bible and the application of Bible principles to daily family living. HON EE SOMMEES My Ted Hawwh Huttiesburg, Miss.-- When yuu hoar about her, her .schools,' her religion, her poems, your image of her will probably be that of, a Bohemian --yet she's entirely the opposite. Ronee Sommers, a sparkling young lady who might easily pass for the girl next door, came to the University of Southern Mississippi this fall as a freshman from Wonder Lake, 111. She brought with her a background of speech and theatre worldly ness that she gained in the Jack and Jill Dramatic school of Chicago, the lUniversity of Loyola Summer Institute of Speech and six finishing schools, including Patricia Stevens, and the Chicago Career college. She's put a lot into her 18 years! Ronee took the lead in the first production by the Southern Players this year as Antigone. Her stage career began at the fragile age of 6 when she danced; her first role in a play came "eons later, in the seventh grade." Among the plays that she's appeared in since then are "Bye-Bye Birdie", "Best Foot Forward", "Portrait of Jenn y " , " C r a d l e S o n g " a n d "Thurber's Carnaval". In Chicago, she captured a dramatic role in "The Spirit of Man", a television program viewed on Sunday afternoons and affiliated with the Church Federation of Chicago. At home she held the title of Miss Wonder Lake. Her laurels include winning a state speaking contest, being an accomplished pianist, and "spending a great deal of my time working on a volume of poetry." At Southern, this versatile young woman is a Delta Zeta sorority pledge and vice-president of her pledge class. Of course she's also a member of the Southern Players. A practicing Zen Buddhist, Ronee takes the viewpoint of life that man should believe in his own divinity. She also believes in universal oneness and thinks that man should strive to achieve this. After a few years at Southern, Ronee plans to return to Chicago and attend the Goodman Theatre school. This is where her ambitions lie. "Yes," she admits, tossing her blonde hair, "I'd like to be a star." On living her life and achieving her ambitions, Ronee paraphrases a quotation from Thoreau! "I hope I can live my life to the fullest so that when I die I will not discover that I have not lived." Cnjoyment for all the family 1X26 Rive re Itl e Drive PHONE 38.V<>979 Mcffeiirv.
