The youths agreed to cove­

Love Waits is a national cam­

Sunday School Board of South­

ers of the campaign hope to
receive more than 20,000 signed,
covenant cards and expect the
youths to participate ina youth

King said"there is a pattern
to recent natural disasters in
America. Each involved mas­
sive destruction, yet relatively
little loss of life". That, he said,
is consistent with biblical testi­
mony of how GOO deals with his
people and reflects a progressive
discipline as GOO seeks to get
people's attention.
King told Ferrell Foster, "we
are living in some dark ages in
our nation. The' darkness
around us seems to be growing
darker and darker. But, the
problem is not with the dark­
ness. The problem is with the
light, that is not shining forth to
dispel the darkn ..
King added, "when we depart
form God's plan, His plan for
world redemption shuts down,
and He (God) continues to disci­
pline until He gets our attention.
If we repent and return to Him ..
God brings revival. -
