Our Children and Youth Demand Our Care

Teachers, what opportunities are yours! What a privilege is
within your reach of molding the minds and characters of the youth
under your charge! What a joy it will be to you to meet them round
the great white throne, and to know that you have done what you
could to fit them for immortality! If your work stands the test of the
great day, like sweetest music will fall upon your ears the benediction
of the Master, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant: ... enter
thou into the joy of thy Lord.”
Matthew 25:21
.
In the great harvest field there is abundance of work for all, and
those who neglect to do what they can will be found guilty before
God. Let us work for time and for eternity. Let us work with all
the powers that God has bestowed upon us, and He will bless our
well-directed efforts.
The Saviour longs to save the young. He would rejoice to see
them around His throne, clothed in the spotless robes of His righ-
teousness. He is waiting to place upon their heads the crown of life,
and to hear their happy voices join in ascribing honor and glory and
majesty to God and the Lamb in the song of victory that shall echo
and re-echo through the courts of heaven.
