King's Business - 1920-12

THE - KI NG' S BUS I NESS 1111 He will hear. He will act. Our dependence is upon Him. We have His Word. We know what fearful judgments await the nations, hut we also know what our place should be in our relation to Him. Beloved, let us pray! Was there ever a louder call? Let us answer that call on bended knees. Let us pray! T. C. H. ¿Ue, M A K IN G TH E C O U N T R Y Safe for the Children The slogan “ Make the country safe for Democracy” cannot mean half so much as “ Make the country safe for the Children.” The devil has been at work for years. While the church has been doz­ ing away at a poor, dying rate, he has systematically saturated the^children of the public schools, through his teaching agencies, with a Satanic poison that threatens the very foundations of the Republic. The Roman Catholic Church has been shrewd enough to care for the lambs of the flock, and they have been duly indoctrinated in the teaching of that church, but the Protestant Church has been so busy in the effort to reform the good citizens, that it has forgotten to inform the children. It has lost sight of the fact that good citizenship without a Bible would be “ good-for-nothing” citizenship; and that a Bible that does not mean what it says is a “ good-for-nothing” Book. You cannot make the country safe for the children unless you have good, safe, moral precepts and examples in the schools, and the more edu­ cated they become without the fear of God in their hearts, the more dan­ gerous they become as citizens. We plead for the children. Every child in our land is entitled to have a Bible in its hand, and the privilege of knowing what it teaches.. There is no single obligation resting upon the Christian people of our country greater than the privilege and duty imposed by our Lord of giving every child the opportunity to know the story of God’s infinite love, and of Christ’s infinite sacrifice for sinners. .We do not want the Bible taught in the schools, but we do want the Bible honored and read. When the Bible is recognized as God’s Word and read, God will take care of the message. Don’t be afraid to tell people that God will hold them to strict account for their failure to bring up their children in the way they should go. A little more prayer, brethren, in the prayer meeting for the children! They are coming along rapidly, these boys and girls, and they will soon have the destiny of this country.in their hands. What shall it be? Don’t forget the methods of Rome,—always, everlastingly at work, with one great object in view. Listen! There is a muffled cry! Can you hear it? MAKE THE COUNTRY SAFE FOR THE CHILDREN! m. m. t . c. h . A CALL to Prayer The Great Commission Prayer League has requested that we give no­ tice of the call for a watch night service at the close of this year. We do this with great pleasure. It has been the habit in the Bible Institute for many years to hold a watch night service followed by an all night prayer service for men, and always with marked evidence of God’s blessing. This
