Crucifixion


DftuSpC
On this blessed and sinful day.
Our loving Saviour gave up His
life.
The hypocrites did know what
they would pay,
1t was all through envy and
strife.
1t was proved by Judas that
betrayed our Saviour,
What the love of money will do.
1t will lead you into evil behavior
And then take your own life too
Still when one tries to end it all
His trouble has just begun.
No forgiveness after death but
a fall.
This is true as the rising sun.
We can clearly see that right will
stand,
Let Us be true and join the
heavenly band.
In that blessed judgment day.

Dear Miss Ball:
| am % years old and have
just completed my college course
which was interrupted by two
years Of Army service. The CT
Bill covered my tuition and
worked part time to take care
of myself, My brother complet
ed law school in much the same
way.
| met a very nice girl on the
campus and we were planning to
marry but my family insisted we
wait They offered to help fl
nance my course in medical
school if | did not marry They
feel | should nave at least $500
in the bank, clothes to last a
year and a career well started be-
fore considering marriage My
parents also feel they have done
a lot for us and as part payment
in return, my brother and
should make a down payment on
home for them.
My girl friend feels we should
marry and that since I'll have to
work anyway, we could work to-
gether. She does not feel that
my parents are being fair or that
they want me to marry, but rather
that my mother wants 10 keep US
home. With my sisters, it was
just the opposite. She let them
marry while in college and con-
tinued to finance their courses,
even to their masters degrees.
| am torn between my mother
and my girl. Who is right?
Arnold-Ohio
Dear Arnold:
Have you decided that you want
to study medicine, or is that just
your parents ambition? If you
want to be a doctor, more power
to you. Since you must work
anyway, marriage would be good
for you. From your letter, it
seems your girl really loves you
and has thought through the
situation thoroughly. Recent sur
veys have proved that married
students are the better students,
and that they are stable and well
adjusted. Besides, at 49, you will
be older than most of your class
mates. and this is an age at
which a man is normally MAJ
ried.
If you are sure you are in love,
