Congratulations, Seniors, upon the successful completition of an im-
portant phase in your preparation for the future!
As you leave Columbia High School to enter the adult world, we hope
you will take with you the keys of success. The key of knowledge, the key
of happiness, and most important of all, the key of love which is found
only in Jesus Christ our Lord.
In high school you have prepared to face the challenges of the world
today. Have you faced the challenge of meeting God in eternity? The
only way to meet this challenge is through faith in Christ as your per-
sonal savior.
God's word makes plain the need and the way of this preparation, "For
all have sinned and come short of the glory of God"-Rom. 3:23, and "The
wages of sin is death ... "-Rom 6:23a. The Bible also declares that the
need has been provided for by the shedding of the blood of Jesus Christ
on Calvary-1 John 1:7b, and "God commendth His love toward us in that
while we were yet sinners Christ died for us"-Rom. 5:8. Now the only
thing that remains is the simple act of accepting the gift of God. "The gift
of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord"-Rom. 6:23b. The
promise of God is that "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord
shall Be saved"-Rom. 10:13.
Have you prepared for eternity as you have prepared for the challeng-
ing world? If not, will you accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior
today? The word of God says "He that believeth on Him is not con-
demned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath
not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." John 3:18
