IT WAS a large sheet, with only six words on it, painted in plain blue and red letters. It hung for many years in a little room where boys and girls met on Sunday afternoons to hear of Jesus and His love, and where meetings were also held for older people in the evenings. It was colored by a little boy who loved the Lord, and desired to do something to lead others to Him. He was too young to be a teacher, and the thought crossed his mind that he might spend a few of the winter evenings coloring this text for the meeting-room, and perhaps it might be the means of arousing some little one to think. After he had finished it, he asked permission to put it up on the wall. Many an eye rested on it, and it was known that God blessed the words of that Cored Text to make more than one think about the great eternity, and “the wrath to come.”
“He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” John 3:36.
Memory Verse “THE HARVEST IS PAST, THE SUMMER IS ENDED, AND WE ARE NOT SAVED.”
Jeremiah 8:20.
