...procession creeps forward, passing the squat, faded hall of Hod Carriers Local Union 153, a one-story commercial social center (AVAILABLE FOR ANY OCCASION), the New Bethel Missionary Baptist Church, white with green trim. Lead Me, Savior has followed Just a Closer Walk with Thee, and soon the dirge is What a Friend We Have in Jesus.

Since you are a sinner, you will die and go to hell unless you save yourself by accepting Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. Since you will go to hell if you are not saved, obtaining salvation is the only thing that should matter to you. From the pamphlet: "You say, 'Surely that is not all that is necessary to do to be saved.' Yes it is, absolutely all. Thank God many have been...
