cializing and meeting of old friends

people who hadn't.secn each other

Dear Editor:
"Abortion."
Do we realize that- God has al-
ready spoken in His word,poncern-
ing this? Wc can either accept it, or
reject it.. But not without conse-
quences.
God says in Jeremiah 7:5-7: "For
IF yc throughly amend your ways
and your doings;.If yc throughly ex-
ecute judgement between a man and
his neighbor; If ye oppress not the
stranger, the fatherless, and the wid-
ow, and SHED NOT INNOCENT
BLOOD IN THIS PLACE, Neither
walk after other gods to your hurt;
Then will 1 cause you to dwell in
this place,- in the land that I gave to
your fathers, for ever and ever." IF
not?...What then?
The cup of God's wrath is filling.
Will we stop this evil now, while
there is time? Or. reap the conse-
quences of God's Judgement?
Sincerely,
Mrs. Ruth Smith'
