An Open Letter To Teens
By JUDGE PHILIP GILLUM
Juvenile Court, Denver, Colorado
We hear the plantive cry of the teenager, What can we do?
Where can we go? the answer is ... GO HOME! Go home,
hang the storm windows, paint the woodwork, rake the leaves,
mow the lawn, shovel the walk, wash the car, learn to cook,
scrub some floors, repair a sink, build a boat, get a job. Help
the Minister, Priest or Rabbi, the Red Cross, or the Salvation
Army. Visit the sick and helpless. Assist the poor. Study your
lessons. And then when you’re through and not too tired, read
a book.
Your parents do not owe you entertainment. Your village does
not owe you recreation facilities. The world does not owe you
a living. You owe the world something. You owe it in your
time and your energy and your talents so that no one will be
at war, in poverty, or sick and lonely again. IN PLAIN SIMPLE
WORDS . . . GROW UP! Quit being a cry baby; get out of your
dream world; develop a backbone, not a wishbone, and start
acting like a man or a lady.
It strikes fear to the very heart of me for the future of our
country when I see these young people who are completely and
utterly indifferent to their responsibilities toward others and
towards society in general. I’m a parent. Pm tired of nursing,
appealing, begging, excusing, tolerating, denying myself comforts
for every whim and fancy just because your selfish ego, instead
of common sense, dominates your personality and thinking
and requests. - NHS Bulldog

NYSSANS TO ATTEND
MEETING IN EUGENE
Six high school students and
Pastor Wallace Prowell of
Nyssa First Christian church
will leave early Friday morn
ing, Mar. 8 to attend theChris-
tian Youth Fellowship(CYF)
state convention in Eugene. The
youths planning to attend are
Mary Webb, Linda Denny, Lona

The convention will start Fri

People Play.”
The Nyssa students will
remain in Eugene after the con
vention and visit the Northwest
Christian college campus and
the University of Oregon
campus. They will tour a man
ufacturing plant in that area.
But a backslider is Hie sad
dest of ail sights.
Backsliding usually begins by
being Bibleless. Salvation with
out service always leads to
stagnation. And you cannot be
strong in the Lord if you are
weak in prayer.

hand that first rescued him
from his sin reclaimed him
from his straying. It is he who

In His restoration.
A tramp went to the home of
a church member and said,
“Lady, 1 am a Christian, but 1
am hungry. Will you please
give me something to eat?”
"How do I know ttuat you are
a Christian?" she asked. “Just
look at the patches on my
knees," he replied. “I have
worn out my trousers praying.”
Because of the patches she gave
him a big dinner.
But as he got up to leave
she noticed even bigger patches
on the seat of his trousers.
"How did you get th«* patches
back there?" she demanded
"Lady," he explained, "that is
where I wore them out back

praying.” Where do you have
your patches?

Mother is not really able to

that I should write you and let
you know that your letters have

are very much enjoyed by her.
As a matter of fact, Mrs.

in Tyler almost weekly at this
