Every soul on this earth is
headed for either Heaven or
Hell. Which is it in your case?
If you don't know the Lord,
you are headed for Hell. And
if you remain in your lost con
dition, it can be said of you as
it was said of Judas; “it had
been better for that man that
he had never been born.” You,
who are in rebellion, have no
idea of the awful destruction
that awaits you one minute
after death. The greatest
thing in all this universe is to
know Christ as your Lord and
your Saviour. The most awful
thing is to go out into eternity
without Christ. We are living
in the darkest hour, spiritual
ly, that the world has ever
known. All this njeans that
Christ is coming soon, but
only for those who are looking
for Him. Are you looking for
Him? I am. If you are not look
ing and waiting for Him, you
vill be left behind when he
comes. Now, you can go on to
church, but that is no evi
dence at all that you know the
Lord This religious generation
today is the most deceived
that has ever lived on earth.
“Behold, ye despisers, and
wonder, and perish: for I work
a work in your days, a work
which ye shall in no wise
believe, though a man declare
it unto you.” (Acts 13:41). The
salvation of a lost soul is a
most mysterious work of graofe
wrought in the heart by the
Holy Spirit. Only those elected
by God before the foundation
of the world, (Ephesians 1:4),
are the blessed objects of
grace. When the blessed Holy
Spirit is working in an elect
soul, those around that soul
despise and wonder at that
wonderful work of grace. You
don't understand it because
you are not an object of God’s
grace and have never known
Holy Spirit Conviction, John
16:7-11. Every unsaved soul
despises and wonders at God's
grace.
Church volunteers serve school

DECATUR, III. - The second
day of school was hectic
enough for Washington
Elementary School Principal
Toni Nale before the sad-faced
12-year-old in the Chicago
Bulls T-shirt showed up in her

On the verge of tears, he
begged Nale to let him return
to her school, not the one he
transferred to after his mother
moved across town this sum
mer. At Washington, he had
begun turning away from the
lure of the streets that kept
getting him into trouble, and
the prospect of going to a new
.school was earthshaking.
The Rev. Eugene Green
arrived just after Nale had
called the boy’s probation offi
cer to take the child back to
the school he had skipped.
It was the first day of the
One Church, One School pro
ject in Decatur, a plan to have
local churches “adopt” a public
school and provide volunteers
to help children. Green was
there to work as a mentor
and role model for students
like the boy in the Bulls shirt.
“How would you like to know
that you have someone in your
corner?” Green asked in a
would you like to have some
one who cares about you, to
talk about your problems?
Would you let me be that per
son?”
The boy in the Bulls shirt
was skeptical. “I dunno,” he
said in a barely audible qua

boy’s quivering arm. “How
