The Harding UniversityStevens Art Gallery will fea-ture an art exhibition titled“Saints Re-formed” Mon-day, Oct. 7 through Thurs-day, Oct. 27. Local artistTessa Davidson is knownfor her realistic oil paintingsthat utilize peculiar imageryto spark spiritual reflection. 

The exhibit features 12paintings and a video pro-jection inspired by the leg-ends and symbols of historicsaints but with a moderntwist. The paintings range insize from 18 inches by 24inches to 6 feet by 6 feet, de-picting figures in an isolatedsetting. 

“I am very excited aboutthe completion of this bodyof work, and I am gratefulthat the exhibition tour willkick off in Searcy,” saidDavidson. “All the modelswho participated in the proj-ect live in this area and areremarkable examples ofwho I consider modern-daysaints.” 

The project was inspiredby Davidson’s interest inMedieval and Renaissanceart history, fields of studydominated by images ofChristian saints. In March2019, Davidson traveled toAssisi, Italy, and drew inspi-

ration from significant sitesand stories connected withthe life of Francis of Assisi. 

“I continue to be mystifiedby historical depictions ofthese religious figures,” saidDavidson. “I'm intrigued byhow they are portrayed inart, and how the strange andsymbolic objects associatedwith them remind viewersof events from their life ormartyrdom. In this project, Iwanted to explore theseartistic traditions and dis-cover how the ideas behindthese symbols might speakto a broader, contemporaryaudience.” 

Davidson’s work has beenexhibited internationally,and she received her Masterof Fine Arts from the NewHampshire Institute of Art in

2018. Davidson holds aBachelor of Arts in art edu-cation and a Master of Edu-cation in secondaryeducation from HardingUniversity, as well as a Mas-ter of Arts in art history fromthe University of Arkansasin Little Rock. Davidson iscurrently serving in her firstyear as an assistant profes-sor of art at Harding Univer-sity. To find out more abouther work, visit tessadavid-sonartist.com.

From State RepresentativeJim Wooten

October 11, 2019LITTLE ROCK –

The annual report cardsfor Arkansas publicschools has been re-leased by the state Edu-cation Department, andthey show improve-ment over last year.

More schools earnedan A grade and fewerschools were labeledwith an F. The numberof schools getting an Awent up by 11 percent,and the number ofschools getting an Fwent down by 14 per-cent.

The grades are basedon test scores, changesin test scores from oneyear to the next, gradu-ation rates and otherfactors that indicate stu-dents’ academic suc-cess.

The report cards canbe found on the Depart-ment’s web site. An In-ternet search forArkansas and“myschoolinfo” willbring up the main page.Then you can searchfor individual schoolsand school districts.A report card providesa letter grade and a de-mographic analysis ofthe students. For exam-ple, once you find aschool and click on thebutton that says “Statis-tics,” you will get infor-mation such as thepercentage of studentswho are in special edu-cation classes and wholive in low income fam-ilies.

The page lists the av-erage years of experi-ence of the teachingstaff, and the averagepupil to teacher ratio inall the classrooms.This year, the reportcards were releasedearlier than in pastyears in order to giveeducators time to iden-tify problem areas andadjust their teachingstrategies accordingly.The school report cardsare part of the 2019federal and state ac-countability reports.They indicate that 557schools improved testscores, and 505 schoolsimproved weightedachievement scores.For the third consecu-tive year, students’graduation rates im-proved.

In 2017 the legisla-ture enacted wholesalereforms in the account-ability system forArkansas schools. Al-though still very relianton standardized testscores, Act 930 of 2017ushers in “next genera-tion accountability” togive local districtsmore flexibility and tofactor in more variedmeasures of studentachievement.

Some educators ex-

press caution that giv-ing letter grades to indi-vidual schools cancreate misconceptions,if parents and civicleaders focus only onthe letter grade.

Numerous factorsmust be taken into ac-count to accuratelymeasure how well aschool educates chil-dren. One of the mostimportant is the socio-economic level of thestudents. In general,children from prosper-ous homes have betterscores on standardizedtests than children fromlow-income homes.

Holding schools ac-countable is part of thelegislature’s constitu-tional duty to provideall children with an eq-uitable and adequateeducation, as mandatedby the state Constitu-tion and affirmed bythe state SupremeCourt in the historicLake View case.Arkansas Still Leads inMallard Hunt

According to a recentreport from the UnitedStates Fish and WildlifeService, Arkansas isstill the national leaderin the hunt for mallards.Last year hunters inArkansas shot 477,817mallards, which notonly was more than inany other state butmore than the entire At-lantic flyway.

Although anecdotalevidence from somehunters indicated that itwas a less productiveseason than usual, it isno surprise thatArkansas led the nationin mallard hunting be-cause of the abundanceof wetland habitat thatmallards prefer. Also,Arkansas is geographi-cally situated along themigration route thatmallards follow whenthey fly south for thewinter.

A 2017 study titled“Indicators of SchoolCrime and Safety,”published by theUnited States Depart-ment of Justice and theUnited States Depart-ment of Education, re-ported that 20% ofstudents ages 12-18 re-ported being bullied atschool during the pre-vious school year.

The same study also re-ported that about 33%of students who re-ported being bullied atschool indicated thatthey were bullied atleast once or twice amonth during theschool year.

The persistence ofschool bullying has ledto instances of studentsuicide across thecountry, includingArkansas.

October is NationalBullying PreventionMonth. Bullying iswhen someone hurts orscares another personrepeatedly. It can in-clude name calling, in-flicting physical pain,exclusion, public hu-miliation, hurtfulpranks and defacingproperty.

The Arkansas legis-lature began passinganti-bullying legisla-tion in 2003. This yearwe strengthened thoselaws in an effort to re-duce the instances ofbullying in our schools.

In 2019, the GeneralAssembly passed Act1029, an Act to Amendthe State Anti-BullyingPolicy.

It requires parents ofthe victim of bullyingto be notified as soonas reasonably practica-

ble. It requires schoolsto investigate and writea report on the com-plaint within 5 schooldays. The act also re-quires the school to no-tify the parent or legalguardian of the studentwho is determined tohave been the perpetra-tor of the incident ofbullying.

In addition, it requiresthe superintendent toannually update theschool board on thenumber of incidents ofbullying reported andthe actions taken.

Act 1029 states theDepartment of Educa-tion shall require 2hours of professionaldevelopment for li-censed public schoolpersonnel in bullyingprevention and recog-nition of the relation-ship between incidentsof bullying and the riskof suicide.

This General Assem-bly also passed Act 190which requires schoolcounselors to spend atleast 90% of his or herworking time provid-ing direct and indirectservices to students.

The legislature willcontinue to study theissue of bullying butthere are things we canall do.

Help children under-stand bullying.  Talkabout what bullying isand how to stand up toit safely. Tell kids bul-lying is unacceptable.Make sure they knowhow to get help.

And finally we canall model how to treatothers  with kindnessand respect.

My sweet Simba!

Today (Tuesday) weare getting a little rain.We really need it andI’m glad to have it.

I sure am missing mySimba and Herman -who both died a littleover a month ago. I stillhave one of my alarmsset for Simba when Ihad to give him his dia-betic shot at night. Andmy other two catswhich are at in thehouse are really miss-ing them, too. One ofthem, Tigger, is de-pressed and so I am try-ing to give him extraattention and playingwith him with a cat toy.Herman used to cleanhis face and I’ve triedto do that with a warmwashcloth but Tiggerdoesn’t seem to like ittoo much. I guess mywashcloth is not thesame as another cat’stongue. At any rate, Idon’t think any of us re-

alize how much ani-mals have their ownpersonalities and feelthings such as loss andlove. Anyone whoowns a cat knows aboutcats and the fact thatthey are somewhat jeal-ous creatures - not all ofthem - but I would saymost of them. They arefunny!

I heard from one ofthe birding sites thatyou should leave yourhummingbird feedersout and fresh for awhile as many hum-mingbirds are travel-ling through and needthe nectar. I have hadtwo that are reallyusing ours.

I hope you have got-ten your flu shot!!!!

Go to your happyplace!

The following article is published in accordancewith the wishes and in memory of Robert L. Kemp,

former editor/publisher of The Beebe News.by R.B. Thieme, Jr.

A catalog of available tapes and publications will be pro-vided upon request by contacting R.B. Thieme, Jr., BibleMinistries, 5139 West Alabama, Houston, TX 77056Before you begin your Bible study, be sure that, as a be-

liever in the Lord Jesus Christ, you have named your knownsins privately to God (1 John 1:9). You will then be in fel-lowship with God, under the control of the indwelling HolySpirit, and ready to learn doctrine from the Word of God.If you are an unbeliever, the issue is not naming your sins. The issue is faith in Christ:“He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he whodoes not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of Godabides on him.” (John 3:36)

Divine Essenceby R.B. Thieme, Jr.

The Characteristics of Divine Essence

In harmony with His sovereign decree thatman be allowed freedom of choice, God willnever use His absolute will to coerce the volitionwhich He gave man (John 7:17). God honorsyour decisions, whether they are for or againstHim. As far as the believer is concerned, God hasa Plan for his life - to take in Bible doctrine (1Tim. 4:16) under the provisions of grace bymeans of the communication of doctrine by thepastor-teacher, the filling of the Holy Spirit, andpositive volition transferring that doctrine to thehuman spirit and to the right lobe of the mental-ity. You can choose to accept His will and moveon into a fantastic “super-grace” life in whichGod pours out His blessings (Jas. 4:6), or you canchoose to go against that will and wind up underdivine discipline (Heb. 12:6).As far as the unbeliever is concerned, God’s willis that all should be saved (2 Pet. 3:9; Rev.22:17). Those who accept His will for salvationand believe in Jesus Christ receive everlastinglife; those who reject Him, everlasting condem-nation.He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting

life: and he that believeth not the Son shall notsee life; but the wrath of God abideth on him(John 3:36).

RIGHTEOUSNESS: God is ABSOLUTE righteousness or holi-ness: “There is none holy as the Lord...” (1 Sam.2:2; cf. Lev. 19:2b; Psa. 22:3; 47:8, 111:9; John17:11; Rev. 3:7; 6:10). God is not simply right-eous by comparison with someone else; Hisrighteousness is independent and incomparable.We call some people “good” and some people“bad.” Yet when we get to know people, we mustadmit that the “bad people” have some good inthem, and the “good people” have some bad inthem. What, then, is our criterion? It is a matterof relativity or comparison (2 Cor. 10:12). At

ReligionReligion

best, man’s righteousness is only relative.

Now immediately this poses a problem for manas far as having fellowship with God is con-cerned. PLUS-R (absolute righteousness) cannothave fellowship with MINUS-R (relative right-eousness). If we are to have any relationship withGod - be it temporal or eternal - we must havePLUS-R. God took cognizance of this barrier ineternity past and made provision for it through theCross:

For he [the Father] hath made him [Christ] tobe sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might bemade the righteousness of God in him (2 Cor.5:21).

Even the righteousness of God which is by faith ofJesus Christ unto all and upon all them that be-lieve: for there is no difference (Rom. 3:22).

God’s righteousness is FREE FROM SIN (2Cor. 5:21; 1 John 1:5). I don’t know what yourconcept of sin is - perhaps you have been hit allyour life with “wine, women and song” as theepitome of sin; but the sins listed in the Bible arefar more comprehensive (Prov. 6:16-19). Here isone description of sin: “For all have sinned, andCOME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD”(Rom. 3:23). The “glory of God” is the essenceor perfect character of God. We do not measureup to His perfect righteousness; yet we are “Jus-tified freely by his grace through the redemptionthat is in Christ Jesus” (Rom.3:24).“Being justified” means that we receive PLUS-

R freely. We do not work for it; we do not earn itor deserve it. It is credited to our account whenwe believe in Jesus Christ - and that’s GRACE! Itis free to us; but like most things which are free,someone pays for them. In this case, Jesus Christ“picked up the tab” at the Cross. He purchased usout of the slave market of sin!

The Beebe News, Thurs., Oct. 17, 2019, Page 5.Community/DeathsLittle Things MatterAfter AllBy Roger Campbell

I once visited a man inthe hospital on his birthdaywho had suffered a brokenneck in a serious accident.He had been told by his doc-tor that he would neveragain be able to use his armsor legs.  Now, in spite of thisdisturbing professional pre-diction, some feeling wasreturning to his arms.  “Godhas given me a wonderfulbirthday present,” he said.

I left that hospital roomwith a new attitude.

Healthy legs were carry-ing me down the hospitalcorridor.  I was able toswing my arms and movemy fingers at will.  Sud-denly I realized I had beentaking these blessings forgranted and determined tonever do so again. To keepmy commitment, I oftenquote the first two verses ofPsalm 103: “Bless theLORD, O my soul, and for-get not all His benefits.”

In his classic book on thePsalms, “THE TREASURYOF DAVID,” C.H. Spur-geon wrote: “We should notforget even one of God’sblessings.  They are all ben-eficial to us, all worthy ofHimself, and all subjects forpraise.  Memory is verytreacherous about the bestthings; it treasures up the re-fuse of the past and permitspriceless treasures to beneglected.  It grips griev-ances tenaciously and holdsbenefits too loosely.”

Life is made up of littlebenefits with great poten-tial.

Dean Farrar wrote: “Lit-tle self-denials, little hon-esties, little passing wordsof sympathy, little namelessacts of kindness, little silentvictories over tempta-tions—these are the threadsof gold, which, when woventogether, gleam out sobrightly in the pattern of lifethat God approves.”

George WashingtonCarver, who found so manyuses for peanuts to the eco-nomicbenefit of the people of hisarea, said that as a young

man he asked God to tellhim all the mysteries of theuniverse.  When no answercame, he asked God to lethim know the mysteries ofthe peanut.  Then, he said,God seemed to say, “Well,George, that’s more nearlyyour size!”  And soon themysteries of the peanutbegan to become clear tohim.

Little things can also dogreat harm.

A husband of more thantwenty years told me he wasending his marriage becauseof a remark his bride hadmade shortly after theirwedding; one he shouldhave forgiven.

A bit of gossip may causeuntold harm in a church orcommunity by blowing in-significant things out of pro-portion, sometimes ruiningreputations and buildingbarriers between formerfriends that, sadly may lastthrough lifetimes.

Churches may prosper ordecline over handling of lit-tle things.  Appreciationshown to deserving peopleover little accomplishmentscan cause personal andchurch wide growth, whileneglecting to respectfullyhonor those who serve be-cause their contributionsseem so small may stiflegreater effort in the future.

Our Lord respected littlethings: a widow’s mitegiven in the temple offering,a boy’s lunch that finally fedfive thousand, faith the sizeof a mustard seed.  AndHe’ll respect what you dofor Him today, no matterhow small it may seem toyou.

Obituaries Why Do the Righteous Suffer?By Pastor Steve Ellison

Who among us has neverwondered why it seems thatthe wicked prosper and therighteous suffer?   I certainlyhave and I am sure that youhave also.  We are in goodcompany.   The psalmistscomplained about that regu-larly, asking God first of allwhy He allows that, secondasking how long will He letit continue.   It is a vexingquestion.  It is often a verypersonal question, which wehave difficulty examininglogically without bias.  Inthe majority of the times thatwe ask the question, wehave cast ourselves in theposition of the “righteousone who is suffering un-justly”.  It hurts, but usually,or should I say always, weare nowhere close to beingas righteous as we wouldlike to think.  Sadly, much ofwhat I think is persecutiontoward me, is really only thenatural consequences of myown failures.  It is a hardthing to face, but maybe theunrighteous is me or you.

Solomon, TheTeacher/Preacher of Ecclesi-astes, addresses this problemin chapter seven.  From aJewish perspective, onewould believe that the right-eous should prosper and thewicked should suffer pun-ishment.  In fact, the OldTestament is full of warn-ings for disobedience toGod’s commands and thepromises of blessings forobeying those same com-mands.  Thus, it would seemthat we should expect therighteous to prosper and thewicked to fail.   It seems tome that many of the OldTestament warnings andpromises are corporate in-structions.  It appears thatthe blessings and curses aredirected toward nations, so-cieties, communities.   I amconvinced that God pun-ishes and rewards “individ-uals” in the next life. Eventhough I do believe thatsome of that occurs in thislife, that most of it is re-served for the next life.   Onthe other hand, much in theBible clearly shows God tobe punishing and rewardingnations here and now.  Thatseems logical to me, as I do

not believe that nations willexist in the next life.  Thus, Ithink maybe we have mis-takenly tried to apply somecorporate blessings andcurses to individuals, whenthey are really meant for na-tions.  I am speaking gener-ally because I do believethat God can and does applythis to individuals on occa-sion. 

There is another interestingperspective on this. FrancisBacon, the English philoso-pher of the 1500s, wrotethis, “Prosperity is the bless-ing of the Old Testament;adversity is the blessing ofthe New.”   That is a very in-teresting perspective and itmight impact your thinkingon the apparent dilemma ofwhy sometimes the right-eous suffer and the wickedprosper.  Christ said we areblessed when people insultus, persecute us, and lieabout us to hurt us.   He alsosaid that they would hand usover to the courts and wewould be scourged.   He toldus that what they did to Him,they would do to us.  It ismore comforting to thinkthat following Christ willlead to prosperity and com-fort and being treated well,but that is not the picture ofthe New Testament.  Therecorded experience of theearly Christians bears outChrist’s warning. 

We get discouraged whenwe fall into the trap of tak-ing the short view of things.We must remember that thislife is very, very, very, veryshort when compared toeternity.    Paul explains itwell in Romans 8:18, “For Iconsider that the sufferingsof this present time are notworthy to be compared withthe glory that is to be re-vealed to us.” NASU   Whenwe take the long view, wesee that the righteous reallydo prosper.  Hallelujah andAmen!    Who among youwould trade being eternallyglorified with Christ fortemporary worldly prosper-ity?

TEXT & PHOTOS BY C. MICHAEL LONG

Staff Sports Photojournalist

The Badger footballteam hosted the White HallBulldogs Friday night and itwas all White Hall, as theymercy ruled the Badgers forthe 4th consecutive week, inroute to a 63-17 victory atBro Erwin Stadium,WootenField.The Bulldogs got on the

scoreboard early and often,as Donta Buckner scoredfour touchdowns for WhiteHall. The Bulldogs scoredfirst on a 40-yard touch-down pass from MatthewMartinez to Kam Robinsonat the 9:53 mark of the firstquarter. Buckner would thenscore his first touchdown ofthe night on a 10-yard passfrom Martinez, with 6:20 re-maining in the period, mak-ing it 14-0.Early in the second quarter

Martinez used his legs toscore from 16-yards out, ex-tending the Bulldogs lead to21-0 at the 11:45 mark ofthe second quarter. TheBadgers finally hit pay dirtwith 7:21 remaining in thehalf when Gannon Robertspunched it in from 2-yardsout, pulling the Badgers towithin 14 points, at 21-7. It

took little time for Bucknerto strike again, as he brokeloose and zig zagged hisway to the end zone from80-yards out with 6:29 re-maining in the half, puttingWhite Hall up 28-7. TheBadgers would answer thisscore also, as Robertsmoved the Badgers downthe field with a few quickout passes and finally ran itin from 3-yards out with4:06 remaining in the half tomake it 28-14. Buckner wasjust getting warmed up, asthe Bulldogs marched downthe field after the Badgerscore and with 2:00 remain-ing in the first half Bucknerran it in from 16-yards ofmaking the score 35-14. TheBadgers went to their hurryup offense and moved theball to the White Hall 21-yard line and with time ex-piring, kicker JaimeRodriguez punched it in fora 31-yard field goal, to makethe score 35-17 Bulldogs athalftime.

The Bulldogs turned uptheir defense in the secondhalf – not allowing theBadgers to score – as theyoutscored the Badgers 28-0in the half, behind the playof back up quarterbackGage Holliwell, who scoredtwo touchdowns and Buck-

ner added his final touch-down. The Bulldogs also in-tercepted the Badgers threetimes in the second half,which gave them the greatfield position for their scor-ing, as they cruised to theeasy victory.

The Badgers tallied 18first downs in the contest on33 rushes for 197 yards and11 of 31 passing for 159yards and three interceptions– giving them a total of 356total yards. Chase Jerniganhad 78-yards rushing on 12attempts and Roberts rushedfor 71-yards on 11 carries.Roberts was 8-23 passingfor 102 yards and two inter-ceptions and Cade Longingwent 3-5 under center for57-yards and an intercep-tion. Seth Howard had 48-yards on three catches tolead the Badgers. The Badg-ers fall to 1-5 overall and 0-3 in 5A Central play.The road gets no easier for

"As expected, the nationalaverage has reverted to de-clining in the midst of reso-lution to refinery issues inthe West Coast, while lowerdemand also weighs on oilprices, leading to modest re-lief in some areas of thecountry," said Patrick De-Haan, head of petroleumanalysis for GasBuddy."While a partial trade dealwith China may temporarilyinterrupt continued relief,the devil will be in the de-tails- will any potential tradedeal lead to solid expecta-tions for economic growthin the U.S.? If so, then ex-pect oil prices to follow tohigher ground, before tapingoff after new optimismbrings a small rally to oil,but if the latest talk of atrade deal is believed to bemore like lipstick on a pig,then I expect gas prices willcontinue to decline. Eitherway- one thing holds true nomatter if there's a trade dealor not- and that's that Cali-fornia motorists will see re-lief in the weeks ahead afterrefinery issues have abated."
