FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK
con’ t,,
They Misled Us by Paul Ha They”tolusthatQ if we’d relax about sex,
t,ke our clothes off and not get all up”tight about it, there would be no more sex crimes.
So we let it all hang out—and the incidence of rape has increased 10 percent in one years
Maybe we’s better question some of the other advice “they” gave us.,
“They” told us we’d been too tough with criminais, that we should go easy on them0 So we went easy on them--and the rate of violent crime has increased 47 percent since 1968. increased six percent since last year;’. is increasing 15 percent this year.
“They” told us that, if we’d just be more generous with poor folks, there’d be no more motive for stealing any any more, go we gave everybody a guaranteed income, and zobbery burglary, larceny, and auto theft are running 15 percent ahead of one year ago.
“They” said the churches were “old-fashion— ed”, that they must modernze, liberalize, rationalize, compromise
And those that compromised most are shrink ing fastest,,
If is is appearing up to here that “they” gave us some awfully bad advice, they did.
“They” insisted that our schools must boo God out and rely on enhancing junior’s intelligence
So we graduated a generation of juniors with refined intellects and undisciplined emotions- so school-age suicides have soared 92 percent in two years.
“They” told us alcoholism and drug addiction were sickenesses, not crimes. Now were gagging, choking, strangling on forbidden fruit0
“They” said informal marriage was enough, so now the odds are 5 to 4 our rapture will be ruptured and 2-in7 that the next baby will be born illegitimate.
Every ugly headline in today’s newspaper’and yesterdays and tomorrow’s- is somebodys emotions gone out of whack0
Spaceship earth came with a book of in— structions let’s see what it says,
It says we should not be slothful in business,, In fact it says he who does not work—1et him not eat.
It says women should wear modest apparel.
It says don’t steal anythinganything
It says don’t get drunk-”-period.
It says you sleep only with your own
It says you don’t do what you “want” you do what you “ought,” and for those whose consciences are anesthetized it specifies which is which,
In other words, if that rule book were not divinely inspired, it would still be the best blueprint for an orderly existence 0

PND YOUTH DIRECTOR
Did you know that High Attendance Day is being promoted by the Tennessee Sunday School Department and that we have the privilege of being a part of this great day in reaching people for Bible study and Sunday School enrollment? Are you doing all you can to make Qu? goal of 300 in Sunday School a reality? If not, may I share with you a plan by Dr. A. V,, Washburn to gain maximum results from High Attendance Day0
1,, Prepare for a great day by making unusual preparat.ions for spiritually alive and effective Bible Study perio4 every Sunday0
2,, Put the welcome mat out and keep it out,,
3. Enroll every prospect who is willing
4. Make a special effort to reach unen— rolled church members.
5 Continue Visitation0 Nothing succeeds like visitation,
Plan to attend SS and Church regu1ar1y If you have gotten out of the habit then get back into the habit. See you Sunday
