“ You couldn’t get Marge or Enid to "go to bed without reading their Bibles,” he told me. “Why, they’d stay up all night, rather’n do that!” Their mother confirmed the boy’s opinion. “ Yes, that’s true,” she said. “ For six years, those girls have not once missed their daily devotions. They started the practice in the Junior Christian Endeavor Society, you re member.” There had been no compulsion about their reading. Love for the Christ of the Book had led to faithfulness in communion with Him through its pages. A little en couragement from mature Christians would lead many more boys and girls to estab lish habits of daily fellowship that will hold them true through the unsettled adoles cent years. In the third place, we must hold before Christian boys and girls the vision of the harvest field of the world— “white already to harvest.” We must impress upon their minds the picture of millions of souls, per ishing without Christ. Not every young be liever is chosen of the Lord for Work on some foreign field, but it is His will that every one of them should be missionary- hearted, stirred with desire to make Christ known among those in heathen darkness. Finally, we must train regenerated boys and girls for Christian service and leader ship. In the familiar verse, “ Train up a child in the way he should go: and wh'en he is old, he will not depart from it” (Prov. 22:6), there is a greater depth of meaning than most adult Christians grasp. Not mere discipline is meant (the necessary, though negative, side of the question), but also positive, practical training—the fitting of the child, so far as it is humanly possible thus to equip him, for a life work of wit nessing for the Lord Jesus Christ. For illustration, we might point to one church alone, from which forty members have gone into the ministry or to the mis sion field. While these young people were growing up, they were given worth-while tasks in the local church. They were not asked to satisfy themselves with merely keeping the church’s machinery in action in “church work.” These young people were given definite spiritual responsibilities that led them into a deeper knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. They found that a place had been made for them at the week ly prayer meetings. They received training as officers of classes and as leaders of other groups. Is it any wonder that with a back ground of this kind, each of the forty went on to a Bible Institute or seminary, and thence to the field of Christian leadership to which the Lord appointed them? The great majority of Christian leaders are drawn from those who in their child hood were led to see their need of a Saviour. Under the guidance of consecrated parents and Christian workers, their youth has been a time of growth in the knowledge of the Lord. And now their love for Him gives them a message that must be told to others. A harvest of souls both now and in the future will reward the Lord’s servants who catch His vision concerning the boys and girls. Do you see them as He sees them?
