it ends, and you may even go bankrupt. But as for life itself, we must all face squarely the question as to how we our­ selves are going to end up. No man can tell when his earthly life will cease, when the death angel will call for his. soul. Ths wisdom of such action is that we might be prepared for the eventuality that befalls us. Here is a sinner who plans to enjoy his folly for a season. He is going to I'M FINE There's nothing whatever the matter with me, And when I talk, I talk with a wheeze; M y pulse is weak and my blood is thin. But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in. Arch supports I have for my feet Or I wouldn't be able to be on the street. And every morning I'm a sight. Sleep is denied me, night after night, M y memory is failing, my heart's in a spin, I'm practically living on aspirin; But I'm awfully well for the shape I'm in. The moral is, as this tale I unfold, That for you and for me, who are growing old, It's better to say, "I'm fine" with a grin, Then to let 'em know the shape we're m ." do what he pleases or what he feels like doing. If he wants to drink, he will drink. If he wants to swear, he will swear. If he wants immorality, he can have all of that he wants. He never stops to wonder how he is going to end up. All of these sins accumulate and pile up until the day comes when the Lord says, “This night thy soul shall be required of thee.” There is no use of us fooling our­ selves. There comes an end to our phi­ losophies and reasonings. There is a time for us to pillow our heads on earth for the last time. I have a poem I'm just as healthy as I can be.

Mr. P hill Butler (standing), manager of Biola's San Diego outlet , KBBW , confers w ith George Manning, announcer, concern­ ing schedule of station which operates 18 hours a day. that Robert Ingersoll, the famed atheist wrote. In it he asks himself, “Is there another life after death? After the long night is there a day time? We don’t know, we just hope and wish that we knew.” How sad, for instead man can have the assurance of Scripture and say, “I know whom I have be­ lieved.” Life comes to an end, childhood days come to an end, married life comes to an end, business comes to an end, and health comes to an end. Balaam said, “Let me die the death of the righteous and let my last end be like his.” He knew he was going to have an end and he wanted to die as the righteous lives. Yet, he didn’t want to live that way. He preferred to be among the Mo­ abites, Edomites and all the other ene­ mies of God. The end of rebellion is the lake of fire. The end of unbelief is hell. The end of rebellion against God is to be put into chains in outer darkness kept until the day of judgment. If we are wise we will prepare for our latter end. I am an old man, and the only way I know of making sure of life’s end is getting to know, personally, the Lord Jesus Christ. He blots out all our sins, removing the record which is against us on heaven’s books. He covers these sins through His precious blood.
