I would protect my Christian
influence as a priceless jewel.
In order to accomplish this, you
will have to guard very carefully
the company that you keep, and
especially your close associates.
To do this, you will have to
learn to say no and to say yes at the
right time. Learn to say these wor
ds with no apologies.
“Be not deceived: evil com
munications corrupt good man
ners” (I Corinthians 15:33).
A young man told his minister,
“I have been in college nearly four
years. Now I am about to graduate
in three weeks. Since I have been
here, I have run with the crowd
that made fun of Christianity. I
have not only run with the crowd
that did that, but I have done my
part in it too.
Six weeks ago, I began to thing
about graduation and going out in
to some community. I asked
myself if I could afford to take my
living into a community. It was
then that I decided to pick out
some young people on the college
campus and watch their lives for a
time. I picked out eight college
students who are members of
your church.
I observed them as closely as
possible; not one of them knew it.
After observing their speech, con
duct, interests, 1 have come to tell
you that they knocked all the props
out from under me, and I want tc
ask you to tell me how to get whal
they have.
That minister told him what to
do to be saved, and during the
evening service, he became a
Christian.
Shortly thereafter, he went to
the battle field overseas. A few
months later, the lady where he
had made him home while in
college, called the minister. She
was weeping as she said, “I have
just received word that Ivan has
fallen in battle..”
Can you imagine what thoughts
rushed through the minister’s
mind—what if some of those
young peopl whom he was wat
ching hand not guarded their
Christian influence?
If they had not been true,
perhaps Ivan would have died lost.
Oh young people, you can dance
at every dance, dress like pimps,
pushers and hot pants Jezebels, go
to the night-spots and drink happy
juice, but you will not influence
other young people to become
Christians. If I were a youth again,
I would protect my Christian in
fluence as a priceless jewel.
I Would Not Destroy
My Life With Dope
A tragic, twisted re-wording of
the twenty-third Psalm was found
in a closed car in Reidsville, North
Carolina, beside a dead heroin ad

old. Senator Sam J. Ervin, Jr., of
girl’s message in the Congressional
Record. It reads thusly:
King Heroin is my shepherd, I
shall always weant. He makes me
to lie down in the gutters.
He leadeth me beside the
troubled waters, he destroyeth my
soul.
He leadeth me in the paths of
wickedness. Yea, I shall walk
through the valley of poverty and

and Senator Gary Hart would have
conceded the Democratic
nomination for president to the
Rev. Jesse Jackson. The current
president and vice-president could
then move to endorse brother
Jackson by not campaigning
against him.
However, the only choice left
for Blacks, is to vote against the
current president by voting for
“take them for graned” Mondale,
a white candidate who has failed to
ganin any significant Black sup
port thus far. Neither the
Democrats or Republicans have
any genuine respect for Black
voters. Perhaps it is time to form a
Black political party to support
those who support our goals and
progress.

If I were a youth again
wil fear no evil, for thou, Heroin,
art with me.
Thy Needle and Capsule com
fort me. Thou strippest the table
of groceries in the presence of my
family. Thou robbest my head of
reason.
My cup of Sorrow runneth over.
Surely heroin addiction shall stalk
me all the days of my life and I will
dwell in the House of the Dammed

Found in the car with a dead
woman was this written message;
“Jail didn’t cure me. Nor did
hospitalization help me for long.
The doctor told my family it would
have been better and indeed kin

hooked on dope had taken a gun
and blown my brains out. And I
wish to God he had. My God, how
I wish it.”

“Know ye not that your body is
the temple of the Holy Spirit which
is in you, which you have of God,
and you are not your own? For ye

Anyone who uses dope is a dope.
You don’t hear me.
Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, the
greater preacher of Rockefeller’s
church in New York City, said that
he suffered a state of depression
and almost lost his mind. One day
while shaving in the bathroom, he
had drawn his razor to cut his own
throat. When his father saw him,
he said, “Harry, don’t do that!”
Those words, “Don’t do that,”
motivated himself to get himself
together. All of us need guidance
sometimes; that is why young

What a wonderful change in my
life has been wrought,
Since Jeasus came into my heart.
I have light in my soul for which
long I have sought,
Since Jeasus came into my heart.
And my sins which were many are
all washed away,
Since Jeasus came into my heart.
If you are not a Christian, why
not let Jesus into your heart right
now. You can by believing in Jesus
who died for your sins, repenting
of your past sins, confessing with
your mouth that Jesus is the
Christ, the Son of the living God,
and being buried in water baptism
for the remission of your sins. If
you have gone astray as a child of
God, why not come back home to
God. Why not let Jesus be the best
things that ever happened to you?
