Finally she opened, her sinful, hungry heart and let the Lord Jesus come in. Then she was not happy until some of the teachers took her in the old buggy, back into; the hills to her father’s log cabin where she could tell her brothers about this wonderful Person, the Lord Jesus. Not all American homes—praise the Lord of homes—are as lacking in knowledge of Christ as these two were. Parents do love their children today, you say.' They dp, surely. They strain every nerve to provide food and shelter and ' amusements and education ftnd physical care and training for their possible talents. No parents want their children to have to live as hard a life as they had to live. But the well-fed-,;; well-sheltered, well - e d ub a t e d, well- amused children—even as those little ones who are'not so bountifuly provided for—must face eternity some day, and the parents are the first ones who are responsible for their children’s welfare. Gdd, have mercy on,; America’s parents. [This article is taken from two chap ters in the book, T omorrow B egins T oday • {cloth, $1.00), published by FVm. B. Eerdmans Pub.

TOMORROW BEGINS TODAY [ Continued from Page 1661 is difficult for many parents to discuss with their offspring the most vital things of their lives—the salvation of their souls through the redeeming: blood of the Lord Jesus, and the problem of their personal puirity. Do you not be lieve that sometimes this timidity on the part of parents is given to them by Satan himself in order that he may defeat any effort to win the child away from him ? , ,Sometimes the trouble lies in pure indifference on the part of the parents. Often it is actual ignorance because there has .been no personal contact between the Saviour and thé parents themselves. We cannot teach others those things which-we do not know ourselves. If we would win souls, wë must first be won. Numberless illustrations could be given of boys and girls who were found ready to accept the Saviour. For ex ample, Richard was seven years old when'he first heard that Jesus was a real Person. He was the only son of wealthy parents who had no time to bother with the training of their son. They left that task to tutors. The tutor who came to Richard when the boy was seven was a Christian. When young Mr. Randolph began to talk to Richard about Jesus, the child was amazed, exclaiming, “Why, that’s -ft

Young as .he was, he eagerly drank in every word: Then he wanted some of his friends, as wealthy yet as poor in- spiritual things as he was, to know about- his new Friend. Mr. Randolph had given him a Bible and a beautiful -copy of the Gospel o f John bound in red leather. Richard decided to give his friends some books bound in red like this one of his. When his friends read the Gospels, they, too, discovered that the books were beautiful within and without.- ; Lela was older. She was ten .when she entered the mission school.

HE THAT WINNETH SOULS IS WISE SEVEN REASONS WHY OUR TWO-COLOR TRACTS ARE MOST DESIRABLE IN THE PRESENTATION OF THE GOSPEL TO THE UNSAVED, BOTH CHILDREN AND ADULTS. 1. The design is not conventional, therefore the reader gets the good seed of the Word while somewhat off guard and* before his natural antagonism is aroused. “Be wise as serpents, harmless as doves.” , 2 . When the TRACT is once in the hand and before thé realization of what he has accepted dawns on him, curiosity is brought into play by COLOR, de sign and the differentness of it all.
Your Father in Heaven is not - willing that any of these little ones- should perish. Are You? 3 . The use of halftone reproductions of good photographs creates a point of { contact already, developed by other printed magazines. The PUBLIC today is PICTURE MINDED. 4 . The printing is NEAT, easy to read, and each tract has a story well tied in with the Scriptural truths it seeks to present. 5. Our tracts are tactfully Written, yet nothing is spared in warning the sinner and presenting the BLOOD as the only remedy. You will give your hearty AMENT to their doctrinal message.
6 . Our two-color tracts have ample blank space on back fo r your stamp or imprint. 7 ] Prices are lows SEND 25c FOR COMPLETE SAMPLES OF TWO-COLOR TRACTS. ..... 1.40 100 (one kind) 30c 500 1000 100 (Ass’t) ..................:■ 35ic FAITHFULWORDSPUBLISHINGCO. 2.75
