Terrace Esso dealer Harry Peters and Imperial Oll combined to donate one cent each for every liter of gas pumped at the station on Dec. 5, and when the pumps were read at the end of the day Terrace motorists had _ bought over 10,000 liters. Additional mohey came from raffles held during the course of the day.

Sn a To. the Editor; I was shocked and pertuibed the other night when I saw on TV a bunch of fundamentalist Christians praying in the. spirit for a global nuclear holocaust, saying it wouldn’t make any dif- ference because their children will go to heaven anyway. I lost my temper and cursed . those people. About 96 percent - of the world’s population ‘today has rejected Jesus Christ. Only four percent will go in the Rap- ture that .is soon going to take place. Explaining . dispensational teaching, largely rejected in fun- .damentalist churches today (or distorted beyond recognition), is difficult. Many people have heard of the Antichrist. He is a world leader who will come more as a-. ‘Gandhi than another Hitler. He will lead the Western nations on a mission of peace. The greatest stumbling block in that mission -will be the Middie East. For a | time he will make a peace pact with Israel; but mostly he will . -use military force to subdue : Kadafy and his cohorts. Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia, etc., will all -fall to his sword. This egotistical leader, who will seduce the Western nations, will claim to be. God. He will notice that religion plays a very important part in human affairs and so he will create a humanist religion with himself at the center. 2, Scripture says that. the world © system is under the control of Satan. If Reagan or the An- tichrist or Gorbachev want to ef- fect the world system it can only be done with the permission of Satan. God has nothing to do -with these halls of government today, or yesterday for that mat- ter, God’s laws are written in ecology. The earth is the Lord’s.

Rather - than let the Antichrist get a hold on planet Earth and build a new Tower -of Babel, God will cause . the environment to rebel. As the Antichrist enlists people into his campaign of terror- against the Middle East, God will enlist the rivers and the seas, the animals, the winds and the rains. The Tribulation: period that . comes after the Rapture of the Church is most prominently marked by natural disasters, nat nuclear disasters.
