The Senior Deparhnent of the First Baptist Church of Gallipolis held theirs at Gene Ball '~ Restaurant at Point Pleasant. P astor Don Loomis of E, 1 ans, ille Ba pt1st Church ,vas the speaker. Since he used to be the ..:\ s istant Pastor and Youth Director at Gallipolis, this \\ as naturally a time of ren1ini'ii11g ,, 1 ith the Loomises.

Write to Cedarville College Cedarville, Ohio In The Days of Thy Youth erve the Lord in the days of youth, Learn I Ii s law and accept His truth; ing Hi s pra1se with ready tongue, \'7h1le the heart 1s young, While yet the heart 1s young. Give to Hjm what He writes to you , Bouyant strength and a courage true. Ringing voices and eyes alight, Souls all pure and white, Unstained and pure and white. Serve Him then, every youthful day, Choose His guidance without delay, Waste no part of these precious years, Youth soon disappears, Too soon it disappears. Serve the Lord in youthful days, Do His will and walk His ways, Wait not for what the years may bring, But serve Him O serve Him. -Selected --------- Honors to Porthsmouth Y. P.
