Betm ,,ti Baal and Jehovah, be-

between the world and Christ,
the choice must be made.
Sometimes• I wonder how
great the number is of those
who were . near to the great
choice of decision, but never
made it. •When the spirit .of
conviction stirred their con-
science, and, all was ready, save
the act of their will and choice,
They sent that blessed spirit
away, saying "When I have a
more convenient season, .I will
call for thee."
Where can you show me pat

people' to choose whom they
would serve, and Elijah called

Tomorrow, but alwaYs Today.

the choice muSt not be delayed.
Choose todayrbecause this may
be the only day for your choice.

The voice of the prophet ages
ago, and the voice of the preach-
er today, calling upon men to
choose life rather than death!
So today I fling out this„ great
text. I call heaven and earth
to record this day against you
that I have set before you life
and death, blessing and. cursing,
therefore, choose life.

The Volkswagens arriving in Cancida tAese days are quite a
bit difierent from earlier arrivals.
For ane thing` they've got a new engine thet delivers 10%
mOre acceleration and passing power. And a new heavy-dutY
transmitsion (that will stand up to almost any abuse), with new
gear ratios selected to deliver every ounce of the extra
engirip power to the Ovine wheels. (You get bettez_per-
The first gear is synchronized. Now you can slip into first
on the move, just as easily as you engage the other three.
There have been many other improvements too. Among the
mostt,recent; a better heater, and fully adjustable seats.
yi;Ye're constantly seeking ways. to make the Volkswagen
mote efficient. And when we find them, we build them in. So
f4 we haven't dicovered how we can improve the basic
design of our vehidles. That's why.the latest arrivals look just
like the ones that came over last year, the yegr before, and
the yeat before that.
Try as we might, we can't upset the.logic of putting the
driver up front and the engine at the rear. It provides better
traCtion in mud and snow, and the load rides cradled between
the wheels.
, look at the vans. Big, double side doors, and q rear door
make them easier to load than any yae ever built. •
Volkswagens still deliver the goods for, less. Less loacling
and unloading 'time. And less runningi,cost. Your dealer has
the facts to prove it„
