Queen of America Response
Dear Editor: Astounding u € t l o 0.
The writer has been very
fortunate, while traveling on
business inside and outside of our
country to have visited shrines that
have evolved atcer her appearances
in individuals (visionaries).
One shrine comes to mind that
any one living in the Hinton area if
they visited a small city in southern
France at the foot hills of the
Pyranese they would blink,
believing they were in Hinton, W. V.
The Mother of God Mary who is
known by many names, "Queen of
Heaven, Queen Of The Universe,
Mother of God, Lady of the Cross,
Our Lady Of Fatima, Our Lady Of
Guadalupe, to name a few. Presently
she appears with Jesus her Son in
the middle of Bosnia, in a small
community called Medjugoria. She
appears to people of all faiths
recently to a Baptist house wife a
husband in Covers, Georgia.
The most famous and visited
shrine is right here in the America,
where the Indians, Mexicans crawl
to the shrine Good Friday and
Saturday.
Right here in the U.S.A. bus loads
of pilgrims visit Mother of God
(eastern rite) Conyers, Georgia. Our
Lady of the cross, Illinois and Queen
of America, Ohio. The writer has
witnessed the pilgrims coming from
all over what a profound effect it has
'had on the communities, as
witnessed by the writer, a book has
been written on the Illinois shrine
Our Lady of the cross; Queen of
Heaven from Totally Yours
Publishing P. O. Box 897 Hillside,
Illinois 60162.
Have access to the internet
w w w.. c o ny e r s. o r g,
www.apparitions.org and scroll
down to the U.S.A. sites fascinating
what some of the visionaries have
to say it is hard to disclaim. In the
19th. century there were about 396
claimed apparitions of these about
100 were disclaimed by authorities
but that still leaves nearly 300
unaccounted for. The ones that have
been approved about 50 the
visionaries accounts are compelling.
Just Maybe if we pray here in the
mountain state of all faiths, Our
Mother might come and Visit the
mountain state and Jesus would be
close behind. What a profound effect
it would have on our community and
the mountain state. Just maybe 911
would never happen again, to
America.
Let us all join in prayer and beg
her and her son Jesus to visit us and
have the Holy Spirit protect us after
all she wants to be called Queen of
America. Don't stop praying and also
ask for peace, any thing is possible
with the Lord. He loves the Prayer
"Holy God, Eternal God, Immortal
God, have mercy on us."
Think about this. Your comments
appreciated.
If she appears we would know it.
Sincerely yours,
Charles A. Maxant

Dear Editor,
It is wonderful to see the
excitement over our article in the
=church section" entitled "The Truth
Shall MakeYou Free." The response
in letters, phone calls, etc. has been
astounding.
I want to praise Rickey Smith for
his desire to publicly proclaim that
which he believes to be true. It is
not often in our day that someone is
willing to publicly state that which
he believes to be the truth of God's
word. This being said, I would like
to encourage Rickey, any preachers,
or others who would desire to
commit to such, to get with me, Fred
Seavers - 466-9169 after 8:00 p.m.
any night, to set up a time for public
discussion of this important issueof,
Pnat must I do to be saved?"
Maybe we could use the Memorial
Building, or some other large
meeting place for a public discussion
of this topic. This way, those in the
Hinton area interested in becoming
Christians, or even those wanting to
make sure they have done what God
has said as opposed to what man has
said, can have opportunity to ask
questions in a kind and controlled
atmosphere. Wouldn't it be
wonderful if we could do such, and
have a great turn out. That would
truly say a great deal about the
spiritual desires of the Hinton
people.
We could then discuss such
passages as Mark 16:16, which not
only tells one how to be lost, "He that
believeth not shall be damned," but
, also tells the lost (who by the way
remain lost until saved) what to do
to be saved, "He that believeth and
is baptized shall be saved." In a
short answer to Rickey's statement
about this passage, the last part of
this verse in no way cancels out the
first. If I understand correctly, one
who believes can be lost if he does
not repent N Acts 17:30; one who
believes can be lost if he does not
confess -- Romans 10:9-10; and
according to the words, "and is
baptized," one who believes but is
not baptized cannot be saved --
Mark 16:16.
The offer will continue to stand.
I would love to publicly discuss this
with someone such as Rickey, or any
other who is not afraid to speak out
on that which he believes to be right.
Thank you,
Fred Seavers

other people's habits.

Extension Agent
Volunteers play a key role in
carrying out the mission of WVU
Extension Service. WVU extension
faculty get the opportunity to work
with hundreds of outstanding
Volunteers providing vital support
for many educational programs in
Summers County. These Volunteers
provide a learning partnership with
WVU Extension with a proven
record dating back to 1913.
In Summers County, we have
between 30-70 4-H Adult Leaders
giving thousands of hours each year.
These 4-H Leaders volunteer as
Community Club Leaders, School
Club Leaders, 4-H Camp
Counselors, Volunteers for 4-H
Special events, and on committees
supporting many 4-H opportunities
at the county, state, national and
international level. 4-H Volunteer
Leaders have touched the lives of
thousands of Summers County
youth, helping to Make the Best
Better." Some of the dedicated 4-H
Club Leaders are: Jim Gaal, Sonya
Murrell, Donna Wykle, Jonathan
Cottle, Shirley Richmond, Amy
Richmond, JC and Michelle Cales,
Ann Lipscomb, Toni McQuaid, Angel
Cales, Sara and Roger Cox, and Ben
Williams.
Another Volunteer Organization,
the Community Educational
Outreach Service (CEOS), has
served Summers County since 1918.
Previously known as the Farm
Women's Club the Home
Demonstration Ciub, and Extension
Homemakers, the CEOS have an
outstanding record of leadership and
service in Summers County.
Through the years they have
volunteered time doing Breast
Cancer Awareness, organizing the
Walk for Her Lifetime, doing a Blood
Drive at Jumping Branch, and they
host the Ouilt Show during the
Summers County WaterFestival.
Erma Meadows, President of the
Jumping Branch CEOS was just
honored with the Beckley Area (a
nine county region) Outstanding
Volunteer of the Year Award.
Thank you to all our Volunteers
in Summers County. As Volunteers,
they have learned the important
lesson of giving--the pride and joy
felt in serving others. They are
trustworthy, respectful, responsible,
fair, caring, understand citizenship
and have a true sense of community.
Leadership and volunteerism is
learned and improved over time. It
begins with a willingness to serve.
Leadership and volunteerism are a
daily choice-- a choice driven by
good character. If you are interested
in becoming a 4-H Volunteer, or
joining the CEOS, please feel free to
contact the WVU Extension Office
at 466-7113.
