Story in imposing fig- ure. The six-foot-four former Nevada state arm wrestling champion is a self-admitted former drug abuser, des- cribed in a press release as “tattooed strongman” and “former motorcycle gangster and enforcer.” Story has been travelling in the U.S. and Canada speaking to high schools and public gatherings like the one held in the gymnasium of Stanley Humphries Secon- dary School. The problem is a “free so- ciety that is not working too well, folks,” and the answer is a return to Christianity, which is what Story did 8' /years ago. His 1% hour talk — presented with oratorical style — covered the follow ing: DRUGS — Story says RCMP statistics indicate Canadians spent more on il. legal drugs in 1983 than they spent on automobiles — about $9.65 billion. This is up from $9.4 billion in 1982. According to Story, the "where 18 kill DAVE STORY drug trade has corrupted even the police and legal sys- tems in Canada and the U.S., with the “number three ranked RCMP drug man” re- cently being arrested for trafficking. Story tells the tale of giving a talk to an American high school, during which a student requested that the teachers and principals leave. When they'd gone the stu- dent said, “Mr. Story, how do you expect us to get off drugs, when not only our teachers but our principals sell it use it on school grounds.” ALCOHOL — Story views with suspicion that fact the alcohol is sold by the govern- ment in Canada — “a big money-making thing.” “You have a problem with alcohol in B.C.,” said Story, pointing out that RCMP statistics say 154,100 of driv- ing offences committed in Canada were alcohol related. In B.C. 73 per cent of the population are drinkers, com- pared to’a 65 per cent aver- age in the U.S. Added Story: “Alcohol has caused more murder, more rape, more incest, more crime than any other drug around.” TEEN SUICIDE — Teen- agers committing suicide is a problem in both the U.S., themselves every day on the average, and in Canada, where there were 672 teen suicides last year, said Story. He noted that a 15-year-old Calgary Boy who recently killed himself said in his sui cide note “I want to be buried with my Black Sabbath (rock group) album.” Commented Story: “I don't know, my friends, you've heard of Black Sabbath. But I went out of my way to listen to some of their albums .. . They're telling the kids to kill their parents.” CREATIONISM VERSUS EVOLUTION — Story points out that secular humanists “don't even believe in crea tionism, they believe in evol ution.” “Personally, I think (evo- lution) is a bunch of gar- bage,” he said. “That's the only way I can describe it. To me it’s never been proved, it's a theory.” Story said because pupils are taught evolution in schools and creationism in churches, it makes them con- fused. SEX — The U.S. is under- going an epidemic of teenage pregnancies, with 70 per cent of teenage girls ing pregnant before marriage, said Story. PORNOGRAPHY — which Story says leads to sexual perversion — is a problem in both countries. In Canada pornography generates up to $50 billion in business, he says. Story’s talk was sponsored by the Castlegar chapter of the Full Gospel Businessmen. Lotto West Nobody won Wednesday's Lotto West Lottery jackpot, so the $175,830.23 prize was carried over.

Box 1299 Rossland, would be appreciated by the family Pulpit & Pew version of John Wesley as told by Ralph M. Smith, that when I read it, it just thrilled my soul and yet put a sadness inside at the same time. Years ago, a ship bound for America was caught in the jaws of a mighty storm in mid-Atlantic. The voyagers were filled with fear. It seemed certain that all would go down into a watery ve. Aboard the ship was a roung minister, John Wes- ley, enroute to Georgia to convert the Indians. As the story raged in its fury, Wesley observed that a sionaries appeared calm and confident, having no fear. He said to them, “Are you not afraid: Our lives are in grave peril!” Calmly they replied, “We have no fear whatever. Our lives are hid with Christ in God. He is our Savior and nothing will ever separate us from Him!” One of them asked Wesley, “Do you know Christ as your personal Savior?” Wesley replied, “I fear that I do not.” Later he had a vital, ex- periential confrontation with Christ. Then he said, “Think of it! I was going to Georgia to convert the Indians when I myself was not converted.” After preaching to the In- dians, John Wesley returned to England and began to pro- claim the transforming Gos- pel of Christ. Revival fires began to glow throughout result of John Wesley's con- version many souls were won to the Lord and revival broke through England. But notice what John Wes- ley said in the second last paragraph, “Think of it. I was going to Georgia to convert the Indians whey I myself was not converted.” How many people are there who call themselves Christians and even those who enter into the ministry as a minister/priest and yet have not accepted Christ as their own Lord and Saviour; experiencing a personal rela- tionship with God through Jesus Christ. Yes, they believe in God, in Jesus Christ, and in the word of God. They have felt led to enter the ministry but how many are born again. How many have confessed Christ as their Lord and Savior and have had a transformation taken place in their lives. John Wesley realized this when he was converted. A person can go to all the Bible studies, attend church every Sunday, go to Bible College, know all there is to know about theology and the mech- anies of religion, but first of all, if that person has not ac- cepted Christ into his heart and confessed him as Lord and Savior, then according to the word of God that person will not make it. John 14:6 says: I am the way, the truth, nd the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Secondary, those who are in the ministry must have point number one fulfilled in their lives and have a call of God upon them. Far too many are in the ministry be- cause it is a job or it is what htey like to do, but where does God fit the picture. For when God calls a person into the ministry that person will change and be according to what the Bible says a person should be and not what man may say or believe. T have talked to too many people and have seen it my- self, that even we as minis- ters can and have been a stumbling block to those who are seeking for the truth. For when those who come to us for the answer, see that our lives are no different from their own way of life, they begin to question. When they see ministers smoking, drink ing alcohol, compromising the Gospel and swearing, they begin to have second thoughts about his so-called “man of God” and say if they will make it, then I will too. These are just a few thoughts that came to my mind as I was reading this story. It has made me stop and think of where I stand as tions that all of us should ask ourselves. Are we truly con- verted or are we as the blind leading the blind. True con- vertion comes only by and through Jesus Christ, God's Son.
