Congratulations to kendall Freeman

Hogansville Public Library offers not
only high-speed communication lines and
plenty of machines for you to explore
the Internet, we also provide easy to
understand guides to assist the most
computer-illiterate in learning to use the
computer. For the novice, we have guides
explaining the basic common elements
in Windows programs used by our
machix]es. We have a quick guide to
Internet Explorer that shows, with pic-
tures, what all the buttons and comput-
er terms mean.
You say, "I don't even know how to
use. a mouse?" The Gates computers pro-
vide a basic "mouse" tutorial to teach
you how. It gives you hands-on experi-
ence in how to "click" using the mouse.
In no time, you can be clicking with the
best of them. Also, since we have equip-
t
ment to plug two headphones into each
machine, you could bring a grandchild
along to help you; and the two of you can
enjoy the children's games together as
you learn more about the computer.
If the mouse is not suited to you or
you prefer to push the keys, we can adjust
the machine so the mouse pointer can be
controlled using the keyboard. Don't let
your eyesight allow the World Wide Web
to leave you behind. We can adjust the
Gates machines to display large print on
the computer screen. We also have other
accessibility settings that we can use to
suit your special needs.
Once you feel ready to venture onto
the World Wide Web, we have lots of help
to guide you. Our guides include Internet
resources to assist you with finding med-
ical, legal, genealogy, black history,
Native American, and environmental
information you need. We also have
guides on children's resources on the
Internet, how to access Free Application
for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) infor-
mation, and how to print IRS tax forms.
We also have Internet resource guides
in Spanish.

"Is there any way to make
up for or undo past mistakes?"
"Can I be delivered from the
bondage of quilt and be forgiv-
en?
These are more of the basic
questions that can plague
humans. Many who suffer from
remorse and failure think doing
good deeds can redeem them.
Doing good works is commend-
able, but if it is done without
faith in Jesus, good works
cannnot save one.
"So, how can I be saved?"
God's promise to Abraham was
to send His son to set us free
and give salvation to all who will
believe. "For if the heritance
depends on the law, then it no
longer depends on a promise;
but God in his grace gave it to
Abraham through a promise."
(Galatians 3:23 2S NIV) ,
Believers can be confident that
all their sins are forgiven.
God loves all people and
wants everyone to accept his
gift of salvation.
In the lesson "The Way to
Spiritual Freedom" in Sunday
School on August 6, we exam-
ine how to live in the freedom
from spiritual bondage that is ..... : ....
provided through Jesus Christ.
Join us on Sunday as we learn .....
about God's promise to save us
from our guilt and sin.
Women of all ages are invit-
ed to join in service to the Lord

But often in vain,
Some thirst for glorY
So hard to attain.
Some crave
That wealth alone.
But these also are
Transitory things.
