SENIORS, LOOKING BACK AT 1957

By Dr. Hoyt W. Allen, Jr.

Comments made in the year 1957:

1) "I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, it's going to be impossible to buy a week's groceries for $20."
2)"Have you seen the new cars coming out next year? It won't be long before $2000 will only buy a used one."
3) "If cigarettes keep going up in price, I'm going to quit. A quarter a pack is ridiculous."
4) "Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a nickel just to mail a letter?"
5) "If they raise the minimum wage to $1, nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store."
6) "When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 29 cents a gallon. Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage."
7) "Kids today are impossible. Those duck tail hair cuts make it impossible to stay groomed. Next thing you know, boys will be wearing their hair as long as the girls."
8) "I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying 'damn' in 'Gone With The Wind,' it seems every new movie has either "hell" or "damn" in it.
9) "I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century. They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas."
10) "Did you see where some baseball player just signed a contract for $75,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn't surprise me if someday they'll be making more than the U.S. President."

Plainly, don’t get short changed. Let’s be ready to meet our Maker. The Bible (in Acts) teaches that to avoid hell and gain heaven - one must:

1) Believe In Jesus As Savior (16:31) 2) Repent Of Sins (17:30)
3) Confess Christ Audibly (8:37) 4) Be Baptized In Water (2:38)
5) Live A Christian Life (14:22) 6) Be Active In the Church (2:47)
