That's the third thing for )·ou )·ouna folks to see t o, that it really gets done! O~ E :W10RE CA 1P CHA GE The ne,v man to take ) 'Our money at Camp Pahnos will be Rev. Leland Ho\\·ard. Ile suggests that much time could be saved if the adult counsellor in charge of each group would collect the money b efore starting and bring a cl1eck made out to Ohio Regular Baptist Home and Camp. It vvou1d also save l1im from the \\"Orry of coming back with over $1,000 in bills. That is a good t1ggestion. ----·---- A TEENAGER SPEAKS By: Jim Absalom, Emmanuel Baptist Church, Akron ' 'Enter ye in at the strai t gate : for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadech to destruction, and many there be '\\:hich go in thereat : ''Because strait 1s the gate, and narrow 1s the v.'ay, which leadech unto life, and fev: there be that find i t." :lvfatt. 3: 7, 14 Where a person will spend eternity is a very fascinacing subjecr. It's a thought thac rurns your stomach and mind into a revolving eruption. Are you prepared to leave this v.orld of toi ls and strifes? When you leave, where will you go? Will you go to God's wonderful H eaven or to acan's Lake of Fire? 1 faoy peo?le poke fun and mock at the idea of rhe everlasting life where no one g:-ov;s old . o sickness, no pain, no cry- ing or heartaches will prevail. Many make a big joke of it. Heaven will be a glori– ous place, a place where you won' t have to fight to exist, no more backbiting, gossip– ing and hard labour. It will be a place where you will have eternal rest. On the other hand , if you aren' t ready to meet your Creator, you had better start preparing now. If you donrt, you will end in eternal damnation. You will be swimming in hell fire. Instead of hav– ing peace and contentment, many will be suffering with pain and agony throughout everlasti ng e:e:nicy. I hope your aspira– tions are homeward bound for che streets paved v.rith pure gold-heaven. - Jim is the son of Pastor Wm. J. Absalom .
