Dear Young Friends,
I rejoice with every one of you who have trusted Christ and know Him as Saviour and Lord in the sunny days of youth. Some of us are getting old, and we will not be able to run the Lord’s errands, and tell others of His love very long. You will be filling our places, and going forth with the glad tidings to near and distant lands.
Keep close to Christ now; read and meditate on His Word; speak often to Him in prayer; and keep well away and far off from ungodly companions and worldly associations, by which so many bright young believers are spoiled and reduced to miserable backsliders. The out-and-out follower of Christ is the only truly happy person on earth. May you each always be found among that royal few who follow Jesus fully.
