Timothy and the Best Book Martha S. Hooker OEPTEMBER is the month that calls ^ us from our vacation time back to school and books. In the cities the kind traffic officers are helping chil dren to cross the busy streets safely on their way to school. In the country the school bells are heard again, and the yellow ; school busses are Seen again on the roads, loaded with happy boys and girls. Though v e often complain about having to leave our holidays behind to return to the classroom, I’m sure you’re all thankful for our schools in which we learn so many wonderful things. If we didn’t go to school, we would never learn to read; and if we couldn’t read, we would not be able to dis cover the i m p o r t a n t truths in the greatest of all books—God’s Book, the Bible. Though you may own many books, boys and girls, and enjoy r e a d i n g them, always take time to read God’s Book. God’s Word tells us of a boy named Timothy, who as a little child loved to have his mother and others teach the Holy Scriptures to him (2 Tim. 3:15). Not only did he love the Scriptures, but he believed that what God said in His Word was true. Believing God’s Word is called “faith.” Both Timothy’s grandmother, Lois, and his mother, Eunice, loved and b - e l i e v e d God’s Word (2 Tim. 1:5). God’s Word led Timothy to accept the Lord Jesus as his Saviour, and to become a Christian. When the great apostle Paul was on his second missionary journey, he came to the cities, Derbe and Lystra. In Derbe he found this l i t t l e boy Timothy grown up to be a fine Chris tian man. Those who knew him loved him and said fine things about Him, for he not only knew God’s Word, but he put its teachings into practice in his own life. You see he was a doer of the Word and not a hearer only. Because of these fine reports, Paul asked Timothy to go with him on his missionary journey. So Timothy be came a real missionary, too. God’s Word c o n t a i n s two letters written by Paul to Timothy whom he loved as a son. These l e t t e r s are First and Second Timothy. You may read them from your Bibles. I am sure that Timothy was always glad that “from a child” he had stud ied God’s “holy scriptures.”

Memory Work for September September is a fine month to begin memorizing God’s Word and hiding it away in our hearts. September is the 9th month and its name contains 9 letters. If we memorize a Bible verse beginning with each letter in the word, by the end of the month we will know 9 verses. Let’s begin! 5-tudy, 2 Timothy 2:15. E-very good gift, James 1:17. P-raise, Psalm 147:1. T-rust in the Lord, Proverbs 3:5. E-ven a child, Proverbs 20:11. M-y sheep, John 10:27. B-lessed is the man, Psalm 1:1. E-nter, Psalm 100:4 . R-emember, Ecclesiastes 12:1. How to Join the K. Y. B. Club To become a member of the Know Your Bible Club, read through the Gospel accord ing to John, using either your own Bible, or a Gospel of John which will be sent upon request. When the Gospel has been read and a statement to this effect, signed by parent or Sunday School teacher, has been sent to the Editor of the Junior King's Business, a K. Y. B. C. pin will be mailed. Sunday school classes or clubs desiring to order ten or more Gospels or pins may wish to share the cost of these supplies, as the Lord di rects: Gospels, postpaid five cents each—in quantity, three cents; pins, without postage, two cents each. However, no one is to do without a Gospel or pin because of lack of money. Address: Junior King's Business, 558 S. Hope St., Los Angeles 13, Calif. sionaries were staying, Marjorie knelt by her cot and thanked the Heavenly Father for letting her be a missionary, and especially for letting her tumble down the river bank that afternoon, for if it had not been for that, those people on the boat might never have heard about the Lord Jesus.
Some of them laughed at such a funny sight, and most of them ran away to play. - Marjorie was p e r p l e x e d : she couldn’t s c r a m b l e up the muddy bank; she couldn’t see a p a t h in either direction; how could she get back to her friends? “ K’o-hsi, K ’o-hsi (too bad, too bad). Come this way,” called a friendly voice, and as Marjorie turned, she saw a small houseboat drawn up close to the bank , and a woman holding her' hand out to help her onto the boat. M a r j o r i e gathered up her books and papers and climbed onto the boat. When her hands had been washed and the mud brushed off of her dress, the boat woman asked her to sit down and tell her what she was doing. Slowly Marjorie told the woman about the Lord Jesus. On the shore beside the boat were some of the more d a r i n g boys who had scrambled down the bank after her. Other boat people had stepped from their boats onto the one Marjorie was on, and some had walked down the narrow shore, so that for the first time Marjorie had the thrill of tell ing the Good News to many who had never before heard the name of Jesus. When she had finished and answered all the questions she could under stand, she was glad to hear Miss Dob son calling to her from the top of the bank. The boat people were sorry to haye Marjorie go, but they were happy about all the fine tracts she left with them. Then a kind boat man took her to a trail up the bank, and she returned to her friends. That n i g h t in the mud-walled, straw-thatched home where the mis-
