Mr.. johnson selected as his text,
a very appropriate passage OF scrip !
ture in Ecclesiastes 18th Chapter ISL
verse: Remember now thy Creator
in the days of thy youth, while the
evil days come not nor the years |
draw nigh when thou shall say
have no pleasure in them" COO
wants boys and girls. Jesus says,
Suffer the little children to come
unto me and forbid them not for OF
such is the Kingdom of Heaven.
When we are young, impressions are
easily made upon our minds. But
as we grow older, it becomes very
hard to make impressions. that IS,
lasting ones. The Importance OF
having young people in the church OF
today is most vital. 1t will not be
very many days before we will have
nassed away, and the church work
will fall upon your shoulders.
Listen parents. don't be afraid for
the safety of your children. COO
has special guardian angels to look
after their little hayward feet, TO
see that nothing shall harm them.
Did you know that a, professional
burglar will not burglarize a house
where there is a sleeping child. Now
mind. l said professional burglars.
And a little child shall lead them.
You will never know how many oan-
gers YOUR children have kept you
from. We think that GOOD time
means having our pockets tul.* OF
money and having jolly good time.
There is no peace, saith - I -
"for the wicked" chrlstlan liile
is the happiest time if you starr II
right. Our millions don't amount 10
very much after all. We are lree
moral agents, we either make or ma.
orr characters. But some of us are
like the stranded goat. We nave
eaten our tag, and we don't know
where we are heading. COO says
even the very hairs of your head are
numbered. But we ought to be care
ful of our acts if we are so closely
watched over by God. II l eoulu
only tell you of the joy of being
Christian you would instantly say
ooh, why didn't some body tell me
before?" If the young people under
the sound of my voice tonight Woulo
turn to Jesus I'll say it would mean
"Cambridse for Jesus" regardless OF
everything else. od
About. Is young people stepped
out on the firing line for Jesus Cnilst
and we feel that the revival mas
truly started. 4
