Food for thought!
Did you know that people spend
eight times more hours
at the movies than at Sunday
School?
That only one
out of twelve persons in our country
attends church?
That seven out
of eight children stop attending
church and Sunday School
before they reach fifteen
years of age?
Fifteen million
sex magazines are printed monthly
and read by one-third of
the American people.
There are more
barmaids in this country than
college girls.
One million
American girls have venereal disease.
One million
illegitimate babies are born annually.
Our nation harbors
three times as many criminals as
college students.
A major crime
is committed every twenty-two
seconds.
An aggravated
assault or rape occurs every hour; a
murder, every forty minutes.
There are sixty
suicides in our nation daily. Two
out of three persons smoke.
Three out of
ten who start as light drinkers end up
drunkards.
As a nation
we spend about $750 on pleasures, sins,
cosmetics, and amusements
to every dollar given to
foreign missions.
Read, pray,
weep as you consider America's dreadful
spiritual plight.
