Evangelism by Verse Ten little Christians, standing in a line. One disliked the preacher; then there were nine. Nine little Christians stayed up very late. One slept on Sunday morning; then there were eight. Eight little Christians on the road to heaven, One took the lower road; then there were seven. Seven little Christians got into a fix, One disliked the music; then there were six. Six little Christians very much alive, But one lost her interest; then there were five. Five little Christians wishing there were more, But they quarreled; then there were four. Four little Christians, cheerful as could be, But one lost his temper; then there were three. Three little Christians knew not what to do, One joined a sporty crowd; then there were two. Two little Christians■— our rhyme is nearly done — Differed with each other; then there was one. One lone Christian won his neighbor true, Brought him with him to the church; then there were two. Two earnest Christians, each won one more, That doubled their number; then there were four. Four sincere Christians worked very late, But each won another; then there were eight. Eight splendid Christians — but nothing rhymes with sixteen, So we simply note that in a few more rhymes there would be 1.024, which would be quite dchurch- ' full. Eyes to See The south wind’s supple fingers Lift the willow's long green hair; Swift dragon flies are stitching Pale robes of thinnest air; The busy water spiders. The short-lived, gay May fly Live out brief lives beside this pool Beneath a blue spring sky. God, who loves peace and beauty,
WHERE THERE'S A WILL THERE IS A WAY to reach those who have never heard
Many have never heard because there has been no way for them to hear. ". . . and how shall they believe in Him o f whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? and how shall they preach, except they be sent? . . .” (Rom . 10:14, 15). The Christian’s will can provide the means for thorough training in handling the Word o f God for consecrated young men and women who have said, ". . . Here am I; send me” (Isaiah 6:8). When you remember The Bible Institute o f Los Angeles in your will you have the assurance that all or a portion of your estate will be a continuation o f your testimony for Christ in this training o f hundreds o f dedicated young lives for world-wide Christian service. A simple inquiry addressed to our Field Department will bring the needed information relative to the steps necessary in making your will.
