periences than the child of a full time servant of Jesus Christ? Prop erly counseled, patiently led and prayed for, his is a heritage which should make him the envy — not the brunt of the jokes — of all who come his way. But the child of even a Christian home comes into this world bearing instead of the new nature of his regenerate parents the fallen nature of his first ancestor, Adam, and a casual, taken-for-granted exposure to the Bible is not sufficient to bring him into the light of a personal re lationship with Jesus Christ. It is essential that he be led carefully and patiently into a living, believ ing contact with a dependable and authoritative Word of God. He needs the daily example of a home that radiates the constant presence of the Lord; not a place where the Christ-life is often preached but seldom practiced. The discerning parent will recognize that his child is his first and most important spir itual responsibility and will never cease to minister with and for him in prayer. The foundation of his faith in an all-sufficient and in dwelling Christ ——not in a mere religious creed inherited from his parents — must be laid precept upon precept and line upon line. He needs the witness of a victorious Mom and Dad whose attitude towards the work, towards fellow workers and t owar ds the lost demonstrates clearly the reality of the gospel they proclaim. The cross which his parent preaches must be convincingly shown in the life the parent lives — even in the bosom of his family. “Take heed to thyself,” Moses warned the Israelites, “ . . . lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen . . . but teach them thy sons and thy sons’ sons.” Teach them until the child him self stands firmly upon a genuine experience of redemption through a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus. Teach them until he wants for his life the will of a God who is loving and real; until he sees his own circumstances as a ministry ordained by the Saviour Himself. If the light shines bright and real inside the Christian home, it is cer tain to be visible even in distant places! END.
