CHRISTIAN EDUCATION FEATURE

T h i s is a t r e a t i s e on murder. A “ do-it-yourself” guide for youth sponsors who suffer from the inner urge to commit homicide. My aim is to help you get rid of that bothersome Sunday evening youth group. You may have tried to give your job of sponsoring to someone else, but without success. Or perhaps you had hoped that the group would “ die a natural death.” But, for some reason, the teens still keep coming to the meetings. Now you are wondering if there is a quicker, cleaner means of teen extermination. Youth work, you may have concluded, is not worth it. After all, being a sponsor keeps you from your choice Sunday evening TV programs. Planning and attending socials with annoying adolescents robs you of your coveted

evening-at-home leisures during the week. Teen-agers are nice kids, but they get on your nerves. They come to you with petty problems such as whom to date and where to go to college. They have such fluctuating emotions. They are so difficult to understand. You are frustrated. You are at the point of ulcerating despair. “What’s the answer?” you ask. There is only one alternative: murder! Therefore, the following arsenal of homicidal helps is offered for your convenience. Take your pick, and remember this one note of advice: suit your weapon to your victim.
