If u
If you would like to see cooper
ation at its best, you should visit
all of our churches and see how
the members and the pastors work
with each other for the good of the
whole community. If you would
like or need and who does not-
some spiritual elevation, some pro
vocative thoughts to stimulate you
into a better and a fuller life, you
should loin the Sunday worshipers
in our churches and find out what
goes on there. We in Kenansvuie
are very fortunate, it seems to
me, because we have such young
and enthusiastic men to arouse our
enthusiasm, to give us new light
in darkness. These men are giv
ing their best and their best is very
good, Indeed can we ao less man
support them by going at least to
their services? You might even
try getting up a little earlier and
going to Sunday School. Every now
and . then, I have been asked to
teach some classes and I consid
er it a great privilege. My know
ledge of theology is slight, but I
have a few deep convictions, artic
les 01 faith especially concerning
young people and I delight to talk
with them anyway. Did you ever
realize what you derive from work
ing with them how much we can
benefit from their fresh and un
prejudiced point of view their
clean and wholesome outlook on
life?; I know that each time I
have taught I have learned many
things myself.
