I am a junior in high chool and member of Temple Baptist Church, Portsmouth. I received Christ as my Lord and a,,.ior in Bible School in 1952, and I can say along with any other Christian that Christ is the answer for all our needs and that we have peace with God through Jesus Christ . 11}" fa ,:orite Scripture is found in Romans 8: 3,5-39. "\ ho shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution or famine or nakedness, or peril, or S\\'Ord?

The mileage is computed by multiplying the number of miles traveled by the 11un1ber of p eople presen t from that p articular church. If any church should win the trophy three consecutive years it becomes their property and a nevv travel torphy vvill have to be acquired. This is the second consecutive year that the travel h~ophy was won by the Temple Baptist Church, in Ports– mouth. T emple Baptist almost lost the travel trophy this year, but they are already making plans to win next year . From what we h ear T emple Baptist vvill need close to fifty p eo– ple to assure bringing home the b·ophy. The young people of Temple Baptist Church challenge any youth group i11 our association to break this record. ----------- "vVherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking h eed thereto according t o thy ,vord" Ps. 119:9.
