John Mayer, quoting an article from an AP news release, has indicated that Marine Corps re­cruit training at Parris Island has been extended from the nor­mal eight weeks to nine weeks. Sgt.

WHEN TOMORROW COMES

i Ooiiyriuht., 11170, Donald E. Wildmon)

Four-year-old Alison Hann com­plained to her parents one day that her stomach hurt. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Terry Hann of Hornchurch, England, took Alison to a doctor for examination. The doctor came back from making an X-ray of Alison’s stomach and explained to Mr. and Mrs. Hann why her stomach hurt. The doc­tor told the girl’s parents that she had swallowed 28 beads, a dog’s bone three plastic toy bricks, a deflated balloon, a toy dog, eight coins, some bird seed, sand, and leaves. You know, I would imagine that if you had all that in your stomach that you would have stomach pains also!

Higher TruthNow the story about little Alison

Hann might startle us, or we might even find a touch of humor in it. But there is a higher truth which the inci­dent brings to mind.

We are created, you see, in a certain way. The organs of our bodies are made to perform certain duties. Put food in our stomach and we get ene­rgy to perform our work, run our brain, and build our body. But fill that same stomach with junk — beads, bones, toy bricks, deflated balloons, toy dogs, coins, bird seed, sand, and leaves—and you wdll come up with a tummy ache.

Can we move now to another step, just a little higher? Man has about his makeup another part—we call it his spirit. Nurture that spirit with love and devotion and dedication and it will grow and give us the energy to perform countless good deeds for our­

selves, our fellowman, and our Crea­tor. But fill that spiritual side of us with junk—booze, filthy reading, self­ish greed prejudice, indifference, ha­tred, jealously—and you will come up with a spirit that has a spiritual tum­my ache.

Diet Of JunkNo man with average intelligence

would dare feed a child of his, or even himself, such objects as beads, bones, toy bricks, coins, balloons, and the like. Yet the same man willingly offers his soul only a diet of filthy reading, profane speech, indifference, and all the other junk which will kill the soul. And the diet he offers to his children is no better.

Our lives can get so cluttered up with things that have no lasting sig­nificance that we lose sight of those things which are most important. Eter­nity. Few people think seriously of it anymore. The only thing important is the here and now. ‘‘Don’t come around me with this Carpenter bit, preacher. I have a house, good car, good job, money in the bank, booze in the cooler, and bets on the horses. Don’t bug me, preacher, I have every­thing I need.”

Maybe you do have everything you need. Maybe you do not. I will not argue the point. But how about to­morrow? When it comes, and it comes once to everybody, will you have every­thing you need?

Eternity may seem like a long way off. But somehow it manages to get around to us. To all of us.
