SOME children's meetings were being held one winter, and the children enjoyed singing many hymns. One night a speaker from a distance was to address the meeting. After the opening hymn and prayer, he began his message by asking the children,
"Do you ever sing lies to God?"
The children were astonished at that question and thought the speaker must be very queer. He soon explained by telling by them it was as bad to "sing lies" as to tell'" them, and worse if they "sing lies to God." He said all are guilty of this who sing "Happy day, when Jesus washed my sins away," and "Christ for me," if they are not converted.
Some of the children were angry and said they would not go to the meetings again, but one little girl felt that what the man said was true. Her sins came vividly before her and she said she never had peace again until she came to the Saviour to receive forgiveness of sins.
