As one little one said: “ I was going to do something naughty, th en I remembered a Bible verse and I did no t do it.” Many of th e children have no help or teaching a t home, bu t they will gladly come to these little classes, and once they receive th e Lord as th eir Saviour and guide, He will help them . There is th e g reatest need and th e most wonderful opportunity. If we can save th e children, we can save th e .m e n and women of th e future. They are easily reached, and th e ir h earts are open to th e message. God has greatly blessed th is work and it "has been growing rap idly. Over a hundred and i twenty classes have been organized in only a few months, w ith an attendance of over two thousand, and th e work is ju st be ginning.
