THE holidays are here now and we know many boys and girls will have extra time on their hands. If you are a saved boy or girl, it is nice if you use your time for the Lord.
We know a young girl who loves the Lord Jesus, and she had a number of gospel books that told about the Saviour. She had received them from attending Sunday school and answering the Bible Questions in the "Messages of the Love of God" papers. After reading them she thought she would like to let other boys and girls read them, too.
Our young friend went to the grocery store and asked for two empty orange crates. When she got them back home she tacked white paper neatly on the sides and placed the books in the shelves. Then she made library cards and invited the children in the neighborhood to come and take a book from her library. Many boys and girls read these good books in the short time she held the library. One girl wile never went to Sunday school read five of the books. God's Word says,
There are other boys and girls who mail tracts to different ones listed in their telephone book. We have heard of one boy who has to sit in a wheel chair, but he has mailed out tracts to every name listed in the telephone book of a large city. God has promised that His Word shall not return unto Him void (Isaiah 55:1111So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. (Isaiah 55:11))—so we can count on Him.
Ask the Lord to show you what to do to reach the unsaved for Him. The tme is short and soon the day of grace will be closed forever.
If you are not saved though, come to Jesus first, and receive Him as your Own precious Saviour, and then ask Him each day, "Lord, what will Thou have me to do?"
"Whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus." Colossians 3;17.
"Sow beside all waters, sow the gospel seed,
Here a word in season, there a loving deed."
