Life’s Greatest Question
By TERRY JONES
"Then ihall the King tar un
to them on his right hand* Come
ye blessed of my Father, inherit
the kingdom prepared for you
from the foundation of the
world:" Matthew 25:34.
It has been said that life’s
greatest question is, ‘‘Whither
do I go.” Or in everyday lan
guage, "What will happen to me
after death?” I believe every
one sometime ih his life faces
this great question. No matter
how much of an atheist he may
be. Some people take this great
question and fumble with it
and then push it aside. Some
really take this question seri
ous and find the answer that
gives them peace of mind.
It has been ? ? ? ? ?
The world seems to have of
fered three answers to this
question, ‘‘Whither do I go?”
One by the poet, one by the
atheist and one by the Chris
tian. Will you take the time
to analyze each one and find
the logical one for you to
choose? 4 1 '
(1) The poet’s answer is life
is a sleep, a dream, a shadow.
Life is compared with a vapor
that rises from a pipe, it ap
pears for a while then fades
away. To the poet life is but
a flash of light hanging between
two eternities. So the poet’s
answer to life’s greatest ques
tion is “Whither do I’ go
to the unknown.” ' 1 ' •*
(2) The atheist, the man who
believes in no God offers this
answer. His answer is oppo
site from that of the poet. The
athetist knows no unknown. He
thinks he understands it all.

“I go to dust,” is his answer.
! There is no future for him as
: ter death, all is dark; life if
. snuffed out for all etenity. This
■ is a poor answer.
I (3) Then there is the Chris
tian’s answer. His answer ex
plains something, it opens a
doorway of ligjht. Where does
i the Christian think he goes af
ter death? “I go to my Father,”
in his answer. This is not a
■ definition of death, the Chris
tian knows nfc> such thing as
death. To him death is not a
departure, it is an arrival. It
is not a sleep but an awaken
ing in the annis of Jesus. The
Christian faces eternal life with
God. . He faces joys we can’t
imagine here on earth.
Which answer do you choose,
. dear reader? When your life
■ closes will you leap into the
, arms of God or into a black
eternity of loneliness? Trust
, Jesus to lead you into the arms
of the Father.

Hardin Comments
On Cancer Crusade
Continued from Page 1. Section 1
:hey can show, in human terms,
iramatic and remarkable results.
Twenty-five years ago about
160,000 persons were alive, cur
ad of cancer. Today there are
more than 1,000,000 and the
number is increasing each day.
Even here in Edenton there are
many who are, alive and well
after being successfully treated
for cancer.
“The cure rate for cancer
climbed from one out of seven
in the late 1930’s to one out of
three ih the late 1950’5. Today
it could be one out of two if
all cancer were diagnosed early
and treated promptly.
‘‘Progress against cancer is at
tributed to two major factors.
First, developments in research
which have resulted in new di
agnostic techniques and improv
ed methods of treatment. Sec
ond, response to public and
professional education which has
resulted in earlier detection,
prompt treatment and better,
more available facilities.
“More women must be per
suaded to have annual checkup
—checkups which include pelvic
examinations and the (pan)
smear. This is a major phase
of our public education program.
“This, you as individuals can
do. Also it is you as individ
uals-with ■’your contributions to
the Cancer Society which will
make available the research and
study necessary to eliminate
this dread disease. The more
we give the more we can cure.
I sincerely hope this year’s Can
cer Crusade will be the most
successful ever.”
