Children’s Meetings and Church Schools
95
“Except the Lord build the house,
They labor in vain that build it:
Except the Lord keep the city,
The watchman waketh but in vain.”
“Praise ye the Lord.
Praise the Lord, O my soul.
[109]
While I live will I praise the Lord:
I will sing praises unto my God while I have any
being.
Put not your trust in princes,
Nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.”
“Praise ye the Lord from the heavens:
Praise Him in the heights.
Praise ye Him, all His angels:
Praise ye Him, all His hosts.
Praise ye Him, sun and moon:
Praise Him, all ye stars of light.”
Psalm 127:1
;
146:1-3
;
Psalm
148:1-3
.
The establishing of churches and the erection of meetinghouses
and school buildings was extended from city to city. In each place the
believers were making a united, persevering effort, and the Lord was
working to increase His forces. Something was being established that
would publish the truth.
This is the work to be done in America, in Australia, in Europe,
and wherever companies are brought into the truth. The companies that
are raised up need a place of worship. Schools are needed where Bible
instruction may be given to the children. The schoolroom is needed
just as much as is the church building. The Lord has persons to engage
in the work of establishing church schools as soon as something is
done to prepare the way for them.
