TCVEN a dog saves. Why don't
you start a bank account? It
is a natural instinct with every liv
ing creature who does not perish
with a season to save something
for a time of need. Saving is one
natural instinct which every one
should follow. Civilization pro
vides the bank, a better place for
saving than nature has ever pro
vided. Why don't you start an
account today.

At What Age Children May
Become Christian.
This is a question of the most seri
ous and mighty importance. Nothing
is more important than that children
should be saved while they are young.
It is easier to be saved then than when
they have gone far away from God and
deeper into the corruption of sin. It
is a blessed thing to begin life as a
christian and to spend all of life in the
service of God. But no one can tell
exactly at what age a child may be
come a christian. The Bible does not
fix the age. The best people of the
world cannot fix a definite age when
children may become christians. It is
more a question of mental develop
ment and early religious training than
of a certain numbers of years. Thou
sands of children have no religious
training at home. Their parents are
not christians, and of course do not
and cannot give their children religi
ous instruction. They do not send
them to Sunday School or preaching.
Other children have parents who claim
to be Christians, but who neglect the
religious training of their children at
home, and do not send them to Sun
day School. Children thus neglected
may live to be fifteen or twenty years
old before they can gather up sufficient
fragments of religious knowledge to en
able them to become christians. Such
children are to be pitied and christian
friends ought to try in some way to
bring them under religious teachings.
I once asked a bright boy 10 years
old : "Do you think about being a chris
tian do you pray to Jesus to save
you ?" His prompt answer was : "No
sir. Mama says I am not old enough
to be a christian." As he turned awav
from me I thought, dear boy, you are
old enough to die, and if you should
die as you now are what would be your
mother's responsibility ? During one
of pastorates, between my monthly ap
pointments, a lovely little girl of four
teen years old took sick and died. Her
parents were professed christians, but
not members of my church. At my
next appointment the mother met me
and with tears of anguish streaming
down her face she said : "Tell me, oh !
tell me, is my child saved V I said to
her, "My sister, I cannot answer your
question. Did you ever talk to her
about being a christian and pray for
her ?" "No," she said, "I never men
tioned the matter of religion to her, I
thought she was too young." I said to
her the only shadow of hope I can offer
vou is that if your daughter did not
have religious knowledge enough to
know she was a sinner, and Jesus
Christ is the Saviour of sinners possi
bly she mav be classed with infants,
and may be saved. As long as I knew
that mother her face wore an expres
sion of sadness because she did not
know her daughter was saved.
Many children can become christ
ians much earlier in life than others as
their minds develop sooner. They can
learn all things earlier than others.
They learn sooner that they are sin
ners and that Jesus can save them. I
know a woman who for near 40 years
has lived a beautiful christian life who
was converted when she was five years
old. She had a devotedly pious mother
who told her of Jesus and taught her
to pray. One night as she kneeled at
her little bed to say her evening prayer
she became happy and sprang up and
threw her arms around her mother's
neck and said : "Oh, mamma, I love
Jesus," and then embracing her father
she said : "Father, I love Jesus, I love
you, I love everybody." That was a
bright, genuine coversion that proved
to be real.
One of ablest preachers North Caro
lina ever had said: "I know no conver
sion except that which I realized when
I was six years." Many children at
six years old, and even at ten or twelve
years of age, may not know really the
wrong of sin and the need of being
saved. I believe without the shadow
of a doubt that all infants and young
children dying before they reach the
age of accountability are certainly
saved. I do not know just when the
age of accountability comes to differ
ent children.
When they get old enough to know
right from wrong when they know
they are sinners and Jesus is their
Saviour then they are accounta
ble. Then they ought to seek to be
saved; parents, pastors and teachers
should encourage them to trust Jesus
and be sayed. I believe manv child
ren are quietly saved when quite
young. They think of Jesus and ask
Him to save them, and He hears their
little prayers and saves them. They
may tell no one of it. God only knows
it. But parents and others may see
some children so much more kind, gen
tle and loving than others. Why ? It
may be they have become God's chil
dren. We have no doubt the salva
tion of infants and young children.
There are older children who die for
whom we have a good hope that they
are saved, based on the fact that more
than once they publicly manifested a
desire to be saved, and that after this
they lived lives as pure and beautiful
as christians, we rejoice and thank
God that we can say of such children
we hope they are saved.
I am glad to find that the older I get
the more I love children, and young
people. I want to be pleasant and so
cial with them, and do all I prudent
ally can to lead them to be christians.
