CC 12:1{You will not always be in the days of your youth, dear boys and girls. As the seasons come and go—Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter; and as the earth pursues its long journey round the sun, bringing a birthday to somebody every morning, those bright and hopeful days are being left farther and farther behind; and the days when you will no longer be young are slowly but surely coming nearer and nearer.
The time when you will be known as an old person is, of course, a long way off yet, and you perhaps do not think about it at all. But the Preacher thought about it, and he wants you to think about it too. So he says:—
"Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them."
If you would be happy in old age, and be able to sing the songs of heaven — remember NOW your Creator.
Here are just three things to remember about your Creator — to remember NOW:
You Need a Savior,
Jesus is the Only Savior, and
Jesus Wants to save you.

Now, in our youthful days, Joyful, we sing Our great REDEEMER'S praise, Our tribute bring. JESUS, to Thee we bow, In Thee we triumph now, Our only LORD art Thou, SAVIOR and KING.

To Thee, to Thee alone, All glory be; Angels allegiance own, And wait on Thee. SO may we do Thy will, And with endurance fill, Each passing day until Thy face we see. W. L.
