cause I thought I could do more good for people. During this time, we’ve raised the Sunday school from 185 to 790. Yet I have never really known the Saviour at all. I have been on my knees all night long telling the Lord what a fraud I have been. He is now my Saviour and Lord. I’m a different man tonight!” Oh, how the Lord blessed that meeting. But with this minister, when he was first dealt with, some Christian worker evident ly had been negligent, including those who ordained him. God wants us to do our work carefully and sympathe tically, and yet earnestly, honestly, and fervently. If you are a Sunday school teach er, find out if your children know how to be saved. Most of them do not. Don’t take anything for granted. They may know all the Bible stories, but do they know the God of the Bible? Oh, beloved, I plead with you, do your work thoroughly, or it could be worse than better. Let them tell you how they feel. Don’t say, “You believe in the Lord, don’t you?” The Bible says that individuals should confess with their mouths, not their necks. If we do our service negligently we are under the curse of God.

When I prayerfully look In the precious old Book, Many pleasures and treasures I see; Many tokens of love From the Father above, Who is nearest and dearest to me. This old Book is my guide; 'Tis a friend by my side,— It will lighten and brighten my way; And each promise I find Soothes and gladdens my mind As I read it and heed it today. To this Book I will cling, Of its worth I will sing, Though great losses and crosses be mine; For I cannot despair, Though surrounded by care, W hile possessing this blessing divine. — Edmund Pillifant see, one can’t understand a book just by reading through it once or twice, especially Revelation.
