YOUTH b l a z e s t ra i l s in Christian living There’s a new crop o f pioneers growing up in America — youth ful trail blazers who show the same qualities o f leadership, courage, determination and re sourcefulness as the men and women who settled W estern America. T h ey ’re called " P io neers for Christ.” These "p ioneers” are Christian young people who maintain a high standard of personal conduct and of scholarship. "Pioneers for Christ” pre pare for "full-time Christian living” in all of life’s vocations. Their aim is to lead the way back to righteousness — in their own families, their com munities, the nation and the world. These young people assist in rural Sunday schools, hold youth rallies, teach Bible classes, witness at home and school for Christ. Y ou r prayerfu l support o f the work of The American Sunday-School Union will help us enlist the youth of America as "Pioneers for Christ” and help bring America back to God.
A ll Through the W eed s W hat are your favorite chor uses, Paul Kent?” Daddy asked this question of his young son on one of his rare evenings home with the family. “ I like ‘When the Roll is Called up Yonder’ and ‘All Through the Weeds’.” “ D on ’ t you mean ‘ A ll Through the Week’ ?” “Uh huh. ‘All Through the Weeds’.” Mother smiled at Daddy with the comment, “ I’m afraid there’s some truth in the lad’s use of a wrong word. The lives of some Christians seem to be thickly covered with weeds. They’re tall and prickly, too. Even God must have a difficult time pene trating the weeds.” Pondering on the subject of weeds we decided they are something a garden would be wonderful without. How they choke out what is good and profitable! They mar beauty. They are costly, too. Men ex pend time, energy and money in a futile fight against them. “Well Mommie, how can I have weeds in me? How can a Christian have weeds growing up in him?” “The weeds I’m thinking of aren’t like those which grow in the fields, or on the lawn or among the farmers’ crops, my boy. They are the things which come into a Christian ’s life which mar God’s perfect work. Like prayerlessness and worldli ness. These go hand in hand. Or what about a sharp, bitter tongue? And doubt, which dis torts the molded vessel into a shapeless mass of uselessness? The list is almost endless.” Dear Lord, what contentment is mine in the knowledge that “ all through the week my Sav iour has been watching over me.” Give me determination to keep the weeds out by staying close to Thee. “ In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength” (Isa. 30:15).
