The Way to Abundant Living
Do you know how to live? Have you found real satisfying peace
and purpose for living? The art of living is the least learned of
all ARTS. The modern man knows everything about life except
how to live it! But to know is not necessarily to know how to live.
To really live is to be the possessor of an inner life that is able
to meet outer life with joy and confidence.
Jesus Christ claims to be that source of inner life for every;
person. His claim is based upon the merits of His death on the
Cross and His recurrection the third day as He said He would!
If this is true-- and . all attempts to disprove it have failed--
then you and I would be wise to consider ‘the claims of this Jesus
Christ’ !!
The Bible says; “ Before anything else existed, Christ was with
God. He has always been alive and is himself God.” Then we
are told that, “ He was the true Light who came to earth to shine
on everyone coming into the world...only a few would welcome and
receive Him. But to all who received Him, he gave the power
to become children of God. All we need to do is trust Jesus to
save us” . Jesus said; “ I am the Way, the Truth, and the LIFE,
NO MAN comes to the Father but by me.” God the Father said
of Jesus; “ This is my beloved Son, Hear ye Him!”
Yes we would do well to consider the claims of Christ. They
are found in the Bible. The Bible is the greatest textbook on life,
the greatest classic, the alltime bestseller...the book of books
because it IS the Word of God. If you will be honest about life,
and not only have knowledge but the wisdom to use knowledge
to live by-you must KNOW your Bible. Most have a Bible--few
have faced their need of knowing their Bible and its author per
sonally. Jesus made this possible by dying on the cross for our
sin. Sin is a word for saying that we have all missed the mark
for our life by not receiving Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior
of our life. Jesus has promised personal peace within by forgiv
ing our sin when we simply ask Him in faith to forgive us and
to come in to our lives. The moment we do this new life begins.
The source, the power, the inner strength to live with peace and
purpose becomes ours thru Jesus Christ the creator of life.
This is the tested, tried and proven Way to Abundant Living !!

Sheridan Mayor Charlie Jordan
recently outlined his plans for
the next two years to the Sheri
dan City Council.
Lauding the progress that has
been made by Sheridan over the
last two years saying “ in the
past two years Shéridan has
rightfully moved to the forefront
and is no longer a follower,,
but a leader. Sheridan is now
consulted on a county level and
on a state level. You will find
the thoughts and opinions of Sher
idan are respected in all levels
of government.”
Jordah also urged the council
to keep the town moving forward.
The priorities for Sheridan for
1973 include the completion of the
water program, the consolidation
of the Sheridan Fire Department
with the rural fire department,
.the use of the money from rev
enue sharing monies on the city
park system, starting a complete
comprehensive planning pro
gram, raises for city employees,
a study on the financing the main
tenance and paving of streets on
a regular basis, the continuation
of the landscaping of the sewer
lagoon area and the appointment
of Councilman Wolfenbarger to
the position of the judiciary com -
mittee.
Outlining his plans for the water
program Jordan called it “ the life
blood of Sheridan, the key to all
the future.” Sheridan has run
into legal difficulties concerning
water rights.
Jordan appointed Councilman
Herbert to chair the water com
mittee. Assisting him will be
councilmen Stork and Firestone.
By consolidating the Sheridan
and the rural fire districts Jordan
feels this will allow for the needed
expansion of the fire department,
the building of a new firehouse
which would lay the groundwork
for paid fire personel. Financ
ing would be split between Sher
idan and the rural areas.
Named to this committee were
Councilmen Cole as chairman and
Councilmen Herbert and Potter
to assist him.
Stressing that revenue sharing
was a gift from the government
that could not be counted on from
year-to-year Jordan urged the
money be used as a windfall and
suggested using this year’s
money on the park program.
This money would be used at
both the river park and the large
park. He also recommended con
struction of a dam on the South
Yamhill River and the develop
ment of the river for recreational
purposes.
Councilman Stork was named
committee chairman and will be
aided by councilmen Potter and
Wolfenbarger.
The need for a comprehensive
planning program was also ex
plained by Jordan. The needs
are in rezoning, annexation
boundaries, new streets, traffic
flows and industrial lands. He
also pointed the special need for
laws for mobile homes. Jordan
said that Sheridan will apply for
a grant this year to deal with
these problems.
Councilman Stork was also
named Chairman of this com
mittee. Serving with him will
be Burton A. Benson and Elwin
Heilinger.
