  Speaker 1: Six Minutes by Bruce S. Wright. For many years, it
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: has been my custom to give every Sunday morning a
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: brief sermon to the boys and girls of my congregation.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: This sermon is never more than six minutes, often only three.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: As a result, there has been a growing attendance of
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: young people at our morning worship. They are thus made
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: to feel that they are wanted and have a part
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: in the church, which all too often is looked upon
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: as a church solely for the grown ups. No part
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: of my ministry has given me greater delight and satisfaction
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: than the thought that I am helping to establish in
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: the lives of many boys and girls that habit so
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: indispensable to a steady Christian experience, namely the habit of
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Sunday morning worship. The memory texts and memory hymns from
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the Methodist Episcopal Hymnal suggested with each sermon are given
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: for the reason that girls and boys gladly do memory
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: work if it is definitely assigned them.

  Speaker 2: Chapter one, Happy New Year, Happy New Year, Juniors. The
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: morning of the first day of every year, we enter
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: into a contest we see who will be the first
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: to give that day's greeting. Before I was awake this morning,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: my boy ran into my room shouting, Happy New Year,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Happy New Year. He won in the contest. Now, however,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: you are in church, and it is not proper for
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: you to speak out loud, so I am able to
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: get ahead of you. A Happy New Year to you,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: every one. Well, what will make this year a happy
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: year for you? I will tell you. Let us take
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: this word happy, and instead of writing it across the page,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: let us write it straight up and down. H stands
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: for helpful. You cannot have a happy year unless you
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: are helpful. He who does not try to be helpful
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: is never very happy. A for active I want your
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: year to be full of activity. I hope you will
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: be able to skate and slide down hill many days
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: this winter, and that you will enter into all the
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: spring and summer sports with zest and joy. Pea for playful.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: You will want to do something other than play. Of course,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: you will have some home responsibilities, But sandwiched in with
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: all the work, may there be a good measure of play.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Pea for purposeful. Yes, early in life you should form
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: a purpose. Two questions will help you gain that purpose. First,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: what is it that I want to do? Second? What
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: is it that God wants me to do?
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: Why?

• 4:47
  Speaker 4: Growth.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: This second Sunday morning of the new year, I desire
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: to talk to you about growth. The most important holiday
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: afterthought is the thought of growth. You are going to
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: grow every day of this day. Whenever I see a
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: boy on his way to school, or on the field
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: or gymnasium floor, running, romping, playing, I say to myself,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Can it be possible that this restless, energetic lad was
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: ever a quiet, helpless little babe in the cradle. Yes
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: he was. But he has grown and he is going
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: to keep right on growing. It was said of the
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: boy Jesus. He grew. His growth was natural. There was
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: nothing of precociousness in the childhood of Jesus. He grew
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: just as every boy grows. A simple hearted child was he,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: and he was nothing more. In summer days, like you
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: and me, he played about the door, or gathered where
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: the father toiled the shavings from the floor. His growth continued.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: It did not stop with childhood, but right on through boyhood, youth,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: and manhood, he kept growing. Best of all, his growth
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: was balanced. He grew physically, mentally and spiritually. He had
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: a sound body. He loved the out of doors. He
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: companionshipped much with nature. Most of his graphic illustrations were
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: taken from living, growing things. He talked almost chiefly about seeds, grain, harvests, trees, birds,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: and living waters. Boys and girls strive to grow. Be
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: like your master, who grew inward, outward and upward, self ward, man,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: word and God ward. How can I grow?
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: You?
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: Ask?
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: I will tell you by passing on to you the
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: secret as given by maltby Babcock, Go write on working
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: memory Verse Luke two forty. And the child grew and waxed,
• 6:49

• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Chapter three snow Goody goody, it's snowing. This is what
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: I heard early yesterday morning. I think there were many
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: other homes in which this shout of joy ushered in
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: the day. It being Saturday, the day was mostly free
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: for playing in the snow. What did you do? You
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: made a snowman, You built a snow fort or house.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: You had a snow battle, You slid down hill, You
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: played fox and geese, tracking one another across white fields
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: and through the woods. You had a happy, wonderful day.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I know you did. Have you ever thought how snow
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: is made and whence it comes? It is formed high
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: in the air from vapor and comes down from the clouds,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: just like rain. Snowdrops are like people in one respect,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: no two are alike. If you will look at the
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: snow flakes through a magnifying glass, you will see a
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: great variety of shapes, and all of them are beautiful.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: We talk about the sparkling beauty of diamonds and other
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: precious gems. Crystal snowflakes are more beautiful by far, if
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: only we could keep them from melting. What a necklace
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: or a setting for a ring a collection of snow
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: flakes would make. God's love is shown to us in
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: the snow. For a fall of snow is like a
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: great blanket covering the tender roots and seeds, keeping them
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: from freezing, assuring us of an harvest. As today you
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: walk home through the snow, let it speak to you
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: of your father's love. Memory Verse Job thirty eight twenty two.

• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Chapter four Kindness. One day last week I saw a
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: huge pair of Bob's heavily life loaded with coal, being
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: pulled up the street by two big, fine looking horses.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: There were two men on the load. Their faces were black,
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: but it was the dirt of honest toil. It was
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: coal dust. They stopped their horses in front of the
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: house directly across the street from me. I watched them
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: with interest. The first thing one of the men did
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: was to get down, take a board, go round to
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: the front of the horses, lift up the heavy wagon tongue,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: place the board underneath it as a brace that the
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: necks of the horses might be relieved of the strain
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: of the wagon tongue. At the same time, the other
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: man took two warm blankets and covered the horses with them,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: tucking in the corners beneath the harness to make them
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: tight and warm. Then the men set to work to
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: carry the coal basket by basket into the cellar. That
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: was kindness. Was it not to see that the horses
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: were so well cared for on a cold winter day?
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: To my mind, one of the finest acts of our
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: city government is the way we are taught kindness to
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: dumb animals and birds by permitting them to make their
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: homes and nests in the public park. What a delight
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: it is to walk through the park and have the
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: squirrels come running up so close to eat from one's hand.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: That is kindness. How about kindness to people? Have you
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: ever seen an older person walking along the street with
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: a little child of three or four years of age,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: the child reaching up as far as he could to
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: take the hand of the older person, the older one jerking, pulling, yanking,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: all the while saying, come now, hurry up, hurry up.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: That is not kindness, is it? Howe'er it be? It
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: seems to me tis only noble to be good. Kind
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: hearts are more than coronets, and simple faith than Norman
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: blood memory Verse Ephesians four thirty two, be ye kind
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: to one another Memory five hundred and fifty four. How sweet,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: how heavenly is the sight? End of chapter four. Recording

  Speaker 6: Chapter five. God's Call. God calls each one of you.
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: He asks you to give your life to him. He
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: has a special work for.
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: You to do.
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: You have heard of Wendell Phillips, who did so much
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: to make slavery unlawful in America. Once, when Wendell was
• 12:59
  Speaker 6: a boy fourteen years of age, he heard Lyman Beecher preach.
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: In the course of his sermon, the preacher said, you
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: belong to God. The boy Wendell thought that the preacher
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: looked straight at him when he said that. He went
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: to his home. At the close of the service, climbed
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: the stairs to his room, shut the door, knelt him prayer, saying,
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: O God, I belonged to THEE. Take what is zign owned?
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: He heard and answered God's call. Many many years before
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: Wendell Phillips lived, there was another boy. He worked in
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: the temple. He was a youthful assistant to the minister.
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: I suppose he ran errands for him and performed any
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: and every service about the temple the minister desired. One night,
• 13:41
  Speaker 6: as usual, the boy went to bed and fell asleep.
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: As he slept, he heard a voice calling him. Now,
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: he was an obedient boy, and though it was hard
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: for him to rouse himself from a sound sleep and
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: leave his comfortable bed, he did so. He ran to
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: the minister, saying, here I am. You called me, What
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: do you want? The minister said, no, my boy, I
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: did not call you go back to bed. The boy
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: returned to his bed and again went to sleep. A
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: second time, and even a third time, he was called.
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: Each time, the faithful, obedient lad leaped from his couch
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: and ran to the minister. The third time, it was
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: dawned on the mind of the minister that the voice
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: the lad heard was the voice of God calling him
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: to himself and to his special service. Being a wise
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: and loving man, he said to the boy, return to
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: your bed, and if you hear the call again, say
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: speak Lord, for thy servant heareth. The boy did as instructed,
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: and that night was forever memorable in his life, for
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: that was the night God called Samuel, and Samuel answered
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: Memory verse verst. Samuel three ten. And the Lord came
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: and stood and called, as at other times Samuel Samuel.
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: Then Samuel answered, speak for thy servant heareth, Memory him
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: six seventy four. Hush was the evening hymn end of

  Speaker 6: The Children six Minutes by Bruce Wright, Chapter six, A
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: Happy Home This morning. The first thing my boy said
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: to me, tell me a story. This is a story
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: I told him once upon a time. It was a
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: long long time ago, so long ago that we can
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: scarcely realize how long more than twenty five hundred years ago. Well,
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: once upon a time there was a home. Holmes then
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: were quite the same in most ways as homes are now.
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: Children in that home they played and were happy, and too,
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: I suppose they had their misunderstandings, and sometimes the children quarreled.
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: One day the children heard music. Looking up the street,
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: they saw a great company of men marching right toward them.
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: They were soldiers. There were thirty thousand of them. In
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: the center of the marching army were some oxen. The
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: oxen were harnessed to a fine new cart. On the
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: cart was a chest, most beautifully carved and decorated. On
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: the soldiers came what was the amazement of the boys
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: and girls when they stopped right in front of their house.
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: Then the king, majestic, in his bearing and gorgeously arrayed,
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: came to their father and said, I want to leave
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: this chest here in your house, take good care of it.
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: The king's men brought the wonderful chest within, set it down,
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: went out, and the army marched away. From that hour,
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: the home was a different home. There was joy in
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: peace and an utter absence of quarreling. Three months passed by.
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: Then one day the king came again and took the
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: chest away. But peace and happiness did not depart with
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: the chest. The home was as happy and peaceful and
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: free from bickering through all the coming months as through
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: the three when the wonderful chest was in the house.
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: What was the chest? It was not the King's chest.
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: It was the ark of God. You will find this
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: true story in Second Samuel, the sixth chapter memory verse,
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: Second Samuel six eleven. And the ark of the Lord
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: continued in the house of Obadidon the Gidae three months,
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: and the Lord blessed him and all his household Memory
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: him six seventy one, Oh, Happy home, where thou art
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: loved the dearest end of chapter six. Recording by Ginger Cucolo,

  Speaker 6: Recording by Ginger Cuckolo. The Children six Minutes by Bruce Wright,
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: Chapter seven. System. Here are three books. I put them
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: down like this, one beside the other. That is system.
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: I throw them down carelessly. That is not system, It
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: is not orderly. Here is a little box insider letters,
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: such as you see on the sign in front of
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: the church. Each letter has a space all its own. Now,
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: if a were put down at M, M at Z
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: and E at X, what a task it would be
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: to pick out the letters and make a sign. One
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: day of vis did a Chinese school such lack of system,
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: such disorderliness? I never did see such noise. I never
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: did here. They were all studying at the tops of
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: their voices, sitting around in all sorts of ways, each
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: trying to out shout the other. Another day I went
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: into a school here in our city. I saw the
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: desk arranged in systematic fashion, each child with a desk
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: all his own in front. I saw a platform with
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: a larger desk for the teacher. All was quiet and orderly.
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: Here I have a package of envelopes. There are fifty
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: two envelopes one for each Sunday in the year. Each
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: envelope is divided in the center. On one side I
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: read for others. On the other half I read for ourselves.
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: I need not tell you that these are church envelopes.
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: In this way, this systematic way, we support our local
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: church and pay to missions. We like to have the
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: girls and boys, as well as older people, use these envelopes.
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: The financial secretary of your church is just as willing
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: to keep the records of young people who give but
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: five cents in each side of the envelope as he
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: is to keep the account of the man or woman
• 20:03

  Speaker 6: by Ginger Cuckolo. The Children six Minutes by Bruce Wright,
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: Chapter eight. A boy from the Country. Once upon a
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: time there was a boy who lived in the country.
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: It was said of him that he was ruddy and whistle,
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look at. I
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: think that description fits a country lad well. This boy
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: had brothers who were away from home in the army fighting.
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: One day, the boy's father said to him, I wish
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: you would go down and see how your brothers are
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: getting along, and take with you this present. The boy
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: started on his journey. Now, when he came to the
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: place where the soldiers were encamped, he saw a strange sight.
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: A giant from the opposing army came out, blustering and
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: issuing his challenge to any one who would dare come
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: against him. All seemed afraid of him. Even the big,
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: strong soldiers would not do battle with him. Therefore, this
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: youth from the country volunteered, saying I will go out
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: and fight him. They tried to dissuade him, but he insisted.
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: Now he was a perfect shot with the sling. He
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: chose five smooth stones from the brook. With one of
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: these he prevailed over the giant. This lad, however, had
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: some other things which stood him in better stead even
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: than the sling and the stones. What were they? First
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: he had courage, He possessed what all the others lacked. Second,
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: he had the ability to do one thing, and do
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: that one thing well. He could use a sling with
• 22:36
  Speaker 6: the utmost accuracy. Third, he had confidence in himself and
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: faith in God. He was not conceited, No, we do
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: not like that. Rather, he had self confidence above all
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: was this. I come to thee in the name of
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: the Lord of Hosts, So said the lad from the country,
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: as he went to fight the giant.
• 22:59
  Speaker 8: What was his name?
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: It is a good name, David Memory Verse first Samuel
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: seventeen forty five. Thou comest to me with a sword,
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: and with his spear, and with his shield. But I
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: come to thee in the name of the Lord of Hosts.
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: Memory him for sixteen faith of our fathers. End of

  Speaker 3: The most beautiful thing in the world, The most beautiful
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: in the world. Now what is it. If you will
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: lift your eyes just a little, you will see the
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: flowers on the table. But lift them higher than the flowers,
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: higher than this pulpit, higher than the pipes of the organ,
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: above the lights, above the arch, you will see the
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: most beautiful thing in the world. Do you see it?
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: It is the Cross. Do you know, girls and boys,
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: that long ago the Cross was the most repulsive thing
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: in the world. It was odious, It had none of
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: the charm in beauty that is now woven about it.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: But from the day that Jesus was crucified on the Cross,
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: it took on new meaning, and it has grown in
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: charm and power, until I think we all agree that
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: it is the most beautiful sight in the world. Out
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: in Colorado, high up the side of a mountain where
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: the snow never melts in the crevices, may be seen
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: two long ravines right up and down the other straight across.
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: The snow is packed into those ravines all through the year,
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: and lifting the eyes, one may see upon the lofty
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: mountain side the Holy Cross. In the summer seas, one
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: of the things that mariners are guided by and that
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: tourists look for, is the Southern Cross. There it is
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: fashioned by the position of the stars in the clear
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: skies of the tropics. There are many men who wear
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: a cross as a watch fob. There are women who
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: wear a cross as a pendant about the neck. This
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: is an outward sign of an inner devotion. The important thing,
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: my dear young Christians, is to have the cross, its
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: power and meaning stamped upon one's heart. Is that where
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: you wear the Saviour's Cross Memory verse first Corinthians, Chapter one,
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: verse eighteen. For the preaching of the Cross is to
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: them that perish foolishness, but unto them which are saved.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: It is the power of God. Memory Him one hundred

  Speaker 9: The Children six Minutes by Bruce Wright, Chapter ten, Easter Light.
• 26:52
  Speaker 9: This glad morning, when the world is so bright and beautiful,
• 26:56
  Speaker 9: I want to talk to you about easter light. One
• 26:59
  Speaker 9: of the most interesting men in our city is a
• 27:01
  Speaker 9: man who goes about our streets with two long sticks.
• 27:05
  Speaker 9: He is the lamp lighter. Here he comes down the street.
• 27:09
  Speaker 9: See how he pauses at each lamp post. With one stick,
• 27:13
  Speaker 9: he pulls the little chain that turns on the gas.
• 27:16
  Speaker 9: With the other, he sets the light going. He walks
• 27:19
  Speaker 9: into the dark, but he leaves behind him miles of
• 27:22
  Speaker 9: lighted streets. I hope we shall have always many streets
• 27:27
  Speaker 9: lighted with gas, for I love to see the lamp
• 27:30
  Speaker 9: lighter dot his way along the streets and avenues with
• 27:32
  Speaker 9: lighted periods. In the center of our city is the
• 27:37
  Speaker 9: tall electric light building. On the very tip of the
• 27:40
  Speaker 9: tower is a high power electric light. It is lighted
• 27:45
  Speaker 9: every evening from eight to eleven o'clock. Children, looking out
• 27:50
  Speaker 9: their windows they go to bed, think that it is
• 27:53
  Speaker 9: another star in the sky. It is so bright and steady.
• 27:57
  Speaker 9: More wonderful than any of these lights, is the source
• 27:59
  Speaker 9: of all light. It is the light that God provides
• 28:02
  Speaker 9: for all of his children. The sun warms our fields,
• 28:06
  Speaker 9: makes our gardens grow, and causes our harvests to prosper.
• 28:10
  Speaker 9: The sun never fails us. Now there is another light,
• 28:14
  Speaker 9: a light that is above even the sun. That is
• 28:17
  Speaker 9: the light of Easter Day. The tomb of death is
• 28:20
  Speaker 9: no longer dark for the resurrection. Light brightens every corner
• 28:24
  Speaker 9: and shines in radiance through the open doorway. The light
• 28:28
  Speaker 9: of Easter also lights up the windows of our heavenly home.
• 28:32
  Speaker 9: When you are out of an evening, it is not
• 28:34
  Speaker 9: pleasant to return to a dark house. There is a
• 28:37
  Speaker 9: wondrous welcome in lighted windows. That welcome God gives us
• 28:42
  Speaker 9: in the light of Easter Day, Christ, in his resurrection,
• 28:46
  Speaker 9: shine in the windows of heaven to greet us when
• 28:48
  Speaker 9: we go home. Memory Verse Matthew twenty eight one. In
• 28:54
  Speaker 9: the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn
• 28:57
  Speaker 9: toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalen
• 28:59
  Speaker 9: and the other Mary to see the sepulture. Memory Him
• 29:04

• 29:36
  Speaker 9: chapter eleven, April. I have in my hand a small
• 29:41
  Speaker 9: branch from a big tree. This branch is from an
• 29:44
  Speaker 9: apple tree. Here are seen the tiny buds, the promise
• 29:48
  Speaker 9: of the blossom, and after that the fruit. Have you
• 29:51
  Speaker 9: ever seen an apple orchard and blossom? People rave about
• 29:55
  Speaker 9: the cherry blossoms of Japan and the fire trees flaming
• 29:59
  Speaker 9: red of the Philippines. I have been in both countries,
• 30:04
  Speaker 9: but I think there is no more beautiful sight in
• 30:06
  Speaker 9: any country than the blossoming apple orchards of America. As
• 30:11
  Speaker 9: you came to church this morning, you saw all along
• 30:14
  Speaker 9: the streets and avenues, hundreds of trees like this branch,
• 30:17
  Speaker 9: sending forth their first buds. What do these buds tell us?
• 30:22
  Speaker 9: First of all, they tell us of God. I do
• 30:25
  Speaker 9: not see how any one can live through the awakening
• 30:27
  Speaker 9: spring season and not think daily thoughts of God. Most
• 30:31
  Speaker 9: people remember the Creator. Only one person has ever denied God,
• 30:36
  Speaker 9: the fool. Hath said in his heart there is no God,
• 30:39
  Speaker 9: and he said it to himself. He did not dare
• 30:41
  Speaker 9: speak it out loud. In the second place, this branch
• 30:45
  Speaker 9: tells us of God's love. He, the loving father of
• 30:48
  Speaker 9: all people, makes blessed provision for the care and nurture
• 30:51
  Speaker 9: of his children. He reminds us each year in seed
• 30:55
  Speaker 9: time and harvest of his boundless love. His love never fails.
• 31:00
  Speaker 9: There have been many hundreds of years in the history
• 31:02
  Speaker 9: of the world, yet each year has had its spring,
• 31:05
  Speaker 9: its seed time, and its resurrection. Young people, let God's
• 31:09
  Speaker 9: April speak to you when I am gone some eye
• 31:13
  Speaker 9: hope that April will typify my life, my faith, my
• 31:17
  Speaker 9: hope of victory through the years, my steadiness of step,
• 31:21
  Speaker 9: my clear and envisioned eye. The early flowers, the birds
• 31:25
  Speaker 9: singing in the rain, the increasing light of the slowly
• 31:28
  Speaker 9: opening buds, the almond blooms, the trees and burnal dress
• 31:33
  Speaker 9: are like the silver crown upon the head, a prophecy
• 31:36
  Speaker 9: of Heaven's summer time. Yes, even now, it is the
• 31:39
  Speaker 9: April of my great immortality memory Verse John eleven twenty five.
• 31:46
  Speaker 9: Jesus said, unto her, I am the resurrection and the
• 31:49

• 32:24
  Speaker 4: Wright helping Fingers. For three years I lived in Manila,
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: Philippine Islands. Not far from my home was an orphanage
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: for children who were deaf and dumb. Frequently these children
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: were seen at different entertainments that were given about the city.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: One evening I went to attend a lecture at the
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: y m c. A. Right in front of me sat
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: three children. They were very quiet and orderly. When the
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: lecture began, the boy who sat in the middle began
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: to make his fingers go as fast as he could,
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: The two children on either side watching him intently. The
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: center boy could hear the other two deaf, so he
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: heard the lecture for them and told it to them
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: by the finger language. One day, a girl coming out
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: from school got on a street car to go to
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: her home. The car was crowded she found a seat
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: next to a woman who was heavy laden with bundles.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: She had all she could do to hold these bundles
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: in her lap and keep them from falling and scattering
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: their contents on the floor. Then a string about one
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: of the packages became untied. She struggled to get that
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: string fastened securely. She had so many packages her fingers
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: were numb with cold. And again and again the string
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: slipped just at the crucial time. Finally, this school girl,
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: who was an attractive, well dressed girl, reached over and
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: placed her nicely gloved finger on the obstreperous knot. There
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: was a grateful smile from the troubled woman and hearty
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: thank you. The next stop was the girl's home. As
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: she went to the end of the car, she passed
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: the school friend who had watched the little incident. She
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: said to her, I see you belong to the helping
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: hand Society. No, replied the girl, not the helping hand,
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: just the helping finger society. This is a great society,
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: girls and boys. Admission to it requires no initiation fee,
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: no dues, simply the desire and the will to be
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: helpful wherever you are. Memory verse Ecclesiastes nine ten. Whatsoever
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might
• 34:35

  Speaker 9: RS and an A. Do you know what this week is?
• 35:17
  Speaker 9: We have all sorts of weeks, don't we Their Sunday
• 35:20
  Speaker 9: school week, go to church week, Boy Scout Week, Red Crossweek,
• 35:25
  Speaker 9: Social Welfare Week, hospital Week, y w C A, and
• 35:29
  Speaker 9: y MC A week. Sometimes we wish we could have
• 35:33
  Speaker 9: one week all to ourselves. Well, this is a special week.
• 35:36
  Speaker 9: It is called Good Literature Week. I want to tell
• 35:40
  Speaker 9: you about Good Literature Week by the use of these
• 35:42
  Speaker 9: three letters to RS and an A. The first R
• 35:47
  Speaker 9: stands for read. By all means read. There is no
• 35:51
  Speaker 9: excuse for not reading. There is so much to read. Indeed,
• 35:55
  Speaker 9: I think that that is the chief difficulty. We have
• 35:57
  Speaker 9: too much at least too much of that which is
• 36:00
  Speaker 9: not good to read. Here's the bulky daily paper. When
• 36:04
  Speaker 9: it is delivered, there is a rush for it. The
• 36:07
  Speaker 9: children want the comic supplement, so do some of the
• 36:10
  Speaker 9: grown ups. A little nonsense now and then is relished
• 36:14
  Speaker 9: by the wisest men. That is true and all right.
• 36:17
  Speaker 9: Or read something besides the comics. The second r is
• 36:21
  Speaker 9: remember you cannot remember all that you read. You can
• 36:25
  Speaker 9: remember much. You should train your mind to remember the best.
• 36:30
  Speaker 9: John Ruskin, one of the most gifted of Englishmen, said
• 36:34
  Speaker 9: to this, I owe all that I have of power
• 36:37
  Speaker 9: to the fact that when I was a boy, my
• 36:39
  Speaker 9: mother made me learned every day and remember a verse
• 36:42
  Speaker 9: of the Bible. Now the A. The A stands for
• 36:46
  Speaker 9: can you guess? It means action? Read, Remember what you read,
• 36:51
  Speaker 9: and then apply it, put it into action. It is
• 36:54
  Speaker 9: a fine thing to read a story like Pollyanna and
• 36:56
  Speaker 9: get all excited over it. It is much finer to
• 36:59
  Speaker 9: read and then put her spirit into action in the
• 37:02
  Speaker 9: daily life of the home. Memory verse Psalm one, nineteen eleven.
• 37:09
  Speaker 9: Thy word have I hid in mine heart that I
• 37:11
  Speaker 9: might not sin against thee memory him two to oh one,

  Speaker 9: The Children six Minutes by Bruce Wright, Chapter fourteen Candle, Children,
• 37:54
  Speaker 9: What is this I have here? It is a candle
• 37:57
  Speaker 9: and a candlestick. There is something about a candle we
• 38:00
  Speaker 9: all love. We have our clear gas lights in our
• 38:04
  Speaker 9: still more brilliant electric bulbs, but when the birthday comes,
• 38:08
  Speaker 9: we want a cake with candles on it. Think of
• 38:10
  Speaker 9: this as a birthday candle, and let it speak to you.
• 38:14
  Speaker 9: First of all, this candle speaks of symmetry. How perfectly
• 38:18
  Speaker 9: formed is this candle? It is smooth. There are no
• 38:21
  Speaker 9: rough places that stand out like an ugly work on
• 38:24
  Speaker 9: one's face. Your life should have symmetry. God asks you
• 38:29
  Speaker 9: to heed to your physical, your mental, and your spiritual
• 38:31
  Speaker 9: duties that your life may be well rounded, a life
• 38:34
  Speaker 9: of beautiful symmetry. Second, this scandle stands for fragrance. This
• 38:40
  Speaker 9: is a fragrant candle. It is one is known as
• 38:42
  Speaker 9: a barberry candle. There are some children we do not
• 38:46
  Speaker 9: like to have around. They are surly, sulky, and mean.
• 38:50
  Speaker 9: There are others we dear love to have with us
• 38:52
  Speaker 9: at all times. They have what I call fragrance. They
• 38:56
  Speaker 9: have the fragrance of thoughtfulness, the sweetness of unselfishness. In
• 39:00
  Speaker 9: the third place, this scandle means erectness, how straight it
• 39:04
  Speaker 9: stands in the candlestick. Stand up straight, Girls and boys,
• 39:07
  Speaker 9: Do not stoop, Do not hump yourself over your school desk.
• 39:11
  Speaker 9: Walk erect It means so much now, it will mean
• 39:15
  Speaker 9: much more in later years. Some day. If you heed
• 39:18
  Speaker 9: my word, you will be grateful if the preacher once
• 39:20
  Speaker 9: said to you so emphatically that you could not forget
• 39:23
  Speaker 9: John Mary. Stand up straight. Fourth, the candle stands for light.
• 39:30
  Speaker 9: It is useless until the wick is lighted. It burns
• 39:33
  Speaker 9: for others. Your life is a light. Jesus wants all
• 39:37
  Speaker 9: Christians to think of themselves as lights in the world.
• 39:41
  Speaker 9: Let your light shine be a lighted candle for the
• 39:43
  Speaker 9: Lord Memory Verse Proverbs twenty twenty seven. The spirit of
• 39:49

• 40:24
  Speaker 4: Wright Alas the Marks. There is an old, old story
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: about a father who had great difficulty in making his
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: boy obey. The boy did wrong in spite of all
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: that the father could say or do. One day, the
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: father said to the boy, here is the shed door. Now,
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: every time you do wrong, I AM going to pound
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: a nail into the door. One by one, the nails
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: were pounded into the door until it was literally filled
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: with nails. The boy did not like the looks of
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: the door. The thought of it began to trouble his conscience,
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: so he spoke to his father about it. Well, said
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: his father, I'll tell you what we will do every
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: time you are obedient. Every time you do a good
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: deed rather than a wrong one, we will pull a
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: nail out. The bargain was struck, and as one by
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: one the nails were driven in, so one by one
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: they were pulled out. Finally, the day arrived when there
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: was but one nail left. You can imagine the joy
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: of the boy when he and his father went together
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: to pull that nail out. With great glee. The claws
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: of the hammer were fastened about the head of mister
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: nail and jerk out he came. Oh, exclaimed the boy.
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: The marks are left. Yes, it was true. For every
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: nail driven in and pulled out, a mark was left,
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: and it was an ugly looking door. That is the
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: sad thing about it all, said the father. Every time
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: you do an evil deed, a mark is left upon
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: the life. It is never the same as if the
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: evil deed had not been committed. It is fine that
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: we have all the nails out, but it would have
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: been much better had they never been driven In memory
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: verse Jeremiah two twenty two. For though thou wash thee
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: with niter and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity

• 43:02
  Speaker 4: once upon a time there was a boy who had
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: a call to be a preacher. Now this boy was Scotch,
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: and the fondest ambition of a Scotch mother is that
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: her son shall become a minister. You may believe that
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: this particular lad's mother was very, very happy. So George,
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: George was his name, went to school. He was not
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: a brilliant student, but he was faithful. He did his
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: work well and passed his grades. One day he noted
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: some difficulty with his eyes. The trouble increased, rather than diminished.
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: Before he had finished his education, while he was yet
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: a young man, he became totally blind. He was greatly discouraged.
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: He was tempted to give up entirely, stop trying to
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: do anything. Certainly, he could not become a successful preacher
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: if he was blind. Who would listen to him? How
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: could he do his work? However, there was another voice
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: inside him, the voice of courage and faith. It was
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: the voice of the Lord that bid him go right
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: on with his plans. He heeded the urge of the
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: inner voice. He was ordained. People loved him and flocked
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: to hear him preach. Though his natural vision was darkened,
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: his spiritual vision was so much brighter. Though he could
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: not look upon the beautiful sights of the world, he
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: had eyes to see more clearly the wonderful things of
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: the soul. His fame spread throughout Edinburgh, Scotland, England, and
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: all the English speaking world, and everywhere he was known
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: and loved as the Blind Preacher. This blind preacher wrote
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: many hymns. The greatest hymn he ever wrote, and one
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: of the finest in all the English language, is the
• 44:45

  Speaker 3: Chapter seventeen. Choosing a King? What would you do if
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: you were asked to select a young man who should
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: some day be President of the United States? What tests
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: would you apply? Would you look upon the clothes that
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: he wore? Would you consider the color of his hair?
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: Would you insist that he should be of a certain height.
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: Once upon a time there was a good and wise
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: man who was asked to choose a king for his people.
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: He started on his journey in search of the most
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: promising youth he could find. By and by he came
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: to a home where there were many boys. One of
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: these boys stood before him. He was tall, he was
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: well formed, he had a good bearing. Surely, thought the
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: king chooser. Here is just the man. But something inside him,
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: the still small voice, I think it was said to him, No,
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: do not choose him. He is not the one. The
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: father then called a second son. Like the first, he
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: was goodly to look upon. The great man commission to
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: choose a king, was about to select this one, when
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: the same small voice inside warned him to wait. A
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: third son was summoned a third time. The voice said, no,
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: he is not the one. How chagrined the father must
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: have been to have all seven of his splendid sons
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: rejected all. No, not all, For the king chooser said,
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: have you no more sons? Yes, I have one other,
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: But he is young and the keeper of the sheep.
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: I am sure you would not think of him as
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: a king. Nevertheless, said the prophet. Send for him. And
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: he came, the youngest, most unlikely one of all. At
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: least so the father and the brothers thought. But the
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: voice within said, this is the one. Choose him. You
• 48:00

  Speaker 4: Worship and Toil. One day, about a hundred years ago,
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: a little boy named Jean stood by his father's side,
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: watching the setting sun sink into the waves of the sea.
• 49:27
  Speaker 4: The glory of the scene stirred his boyish enthusiasm, and
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: he poured out his heart in an ecstasy of joy.
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: The father reverently took off his cap and said, my son,
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: it is God. The boy never forgot that word, it
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: is God. Jean came of a peasant family, so he
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: had to take his place in the field and earn
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: his bread by the sweat of his brow. On Sundays,
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: the fields were forsaken and the family went to the
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: village church, where the father was the leader of the choir.
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: After church, friends and relatives sometimes came home to spend
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: the afternoon with the family. One Sunday, soon after the
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: return from church, the bent figure of an aged peasant
• 50:11
  Speaker 4: slowly made his way along the road. There was something
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: about the figure that struck the boy, Jean. He took
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: a piece of coal and hurriedly drew a sketch upon
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: the wall. Every movement and attitude was so perfectly depicted
• 50:26
  Speaker 4: that everybody laughed, everybody but the father. He sensed the
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: gift possessed by his boy, whose growing talent he had
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: been watching mag Jean, he said, I will no longer
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: hinder you from learning that which you are so anxious
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: to know. Jean Francis Milet, for such as his full name,
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: became the artist of Peasantry. He never made any other boast.
• 50:51
  Speaker 4: His character was of the highest. He had a firm
• 50:54
  Speaker 4: faith in God. He believed in the Bible as the
• 50:57
  Speaker 4: word of God. Upon his use of the brush as
• 51:02
  Speaker 4: preaching upon canvas the purity and truth he believed. The
• 51:06
  Speaker 4: Angulus is the name of the best known picture that
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: he painted. It shows two workers in a potato field,
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: a man and a woman who hear from the nearby
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: village the faint tones of the Angelus bell calling them
• 51:19
  Speaker 4: to prayer. They pause, stand, erect, bow their heads, and worship.

  Speaker 11: God's Clock. Do you own a watch? If you do not, now,
• 52:19
  Speaker 11: you will some day. I have a friend whose watch
• 52:22
  Speaker 11: came to him in this wise. His father said to him,
• 52:25
  Speaker 11: when you graduate from high school, I will give you
• 52:27
  Speaker 11: a watch. Is there a town clock where you live?
• 52:31
  Speaker 11: Is it dependable? Do mens that their watches by it?
• 52:34
  Speaker 11: Do people passing it glance up to see if they
• 52:37
  Speaker 11: are late? In the village where I began my ministry,
• 52:40
  Speaker 11: the Baptist hour held the town clock I lived but
• 52:43
  Speaker 11: a few doors away. I went to bed by it,
• 52:47
  Speaker 11: I studied by it. I was wakened by it. Even now,
• 52:50
  Speaker 11: and many years have passed since then, I can hear
• 52:53
  Speaker 11: its clear bells strike the hours. The strangest clock I
• 52:56
  Speaker 11: never saw was in China. I went up the west
• 52:59
  Speaker 11: River to the city of Canton. I was carried through
• 53:02
  Speaker 11: the narrow, smelly, crowded streets to the top of a
• 53:05
  Speaker 11: little hill at the city's edge. There, on the very
• 53:08

  Speaker 4: I read.
• 53:11
  Speaker 11: This water clock is a most ancient, authentic, celebrated, and
• 53:15
  Speaker 11: sacred relic of Quangtong Province, over thirteen hundred years old.
• 53:20
  Speaker 11: It was erected on the top story of the North
• 53:22
  Speaker 11: Worshiping Tower, which was built by Chinto, King of the
• 53:26
  Speaker 11: South of China. It was a strange, crude affair run
• 53:29
  Speaker 11: by water. I stood and looked at it and thought,
• 53:32
  Speaker 11: this clock was running when George Washington was president. It
• 53:35
  Speaker 11: was running when Christopher Columbus sailed on his great voyage
• 53:38
  Speaker 11: of discovery, long years long centuries before that it was built.
• 53:44
  Speaker 11: But there is a clock surpassing all others. I call
• 53:47
  Speaker 11: it God's clock. It is the sun since time began.
• 53:52
  Speaker 11: God's clock has kept time. It is the central clock

• 54:49
  Speaker 11: you own one. What a wonderful little machine a Kodak is.
• 54:53

• 55:15
  Speaker 11: slide in the back, take a pencil and write down

  Speaker 11: we open our eyes, we begin exposing those films. We

  Speaker 11: do not have to do any clicking for those pictures,
• 56:00
  Speaker 11: one after another, click, click, click, and they are developed
• 56:04

• 56:14
  Speaker 11: not show a picture that was taken yesterday, or last
• 56:16

• 57:23
  Speaker 11: a foreman in the tannery for a great many years. Finally,
• 57:27
  Speaker 11: as he was approaching seventy years of age, he left
• 57:29
  Speaker 11: the tannery to retire to a quieter life. The men
• 57:32
  Speaker 11: who worked in his department had a real affection for him.
• 57:36
  Speaker 11: As an expression of that esteem, they presented him on
• 57:39
  Speaker 11: his last day with them a beautiful solid gold watch.
• 57:43
  Speaker 11: On the inner cover, they engraved his name, the date
• 57:46
  Speaker 11: and the occasion of the presentation. When my grandfather died,
• 57:49
  Speaker 11: the watch became my father's possession. Then upon my father's death,
• 57:53
  Speaker 11: the watch came to me. What a joy it is
• 57:55
  Speaker 11: to carry such a watch. Here are some lessons my
• 57:58
  Speaker 11: watch teaches me. The case is but the outside. It
• 58:03
  Speaker 11: is nice to have a gold case. It looks so well,
• 58:06
  Speaker 11: but that does not make the watch keep any better time.
• 58:09
  Speaker 11: It would keep just as accurate time if the case
• 58:12
  Speaker 11: were iron. You see it as inside that counts. It
• 58:15
  Speaker 11: is the same with life. The soul is the important
• 58:18
  Speaker 11: part of us. Now Here is the tiny second hand.
• 58:21
  Speaker 11: It rushes around, jumping, hurrying, fussing, as though it were
• 58:25
  Speaker 11: doing the whole job. But you cannot tell time by
• 58:28
  Speaker 11: the second hand. Knock it off and the watch goes
• 58:31
  Speaker 11: right on running. Here's the minute hand. How big and
• 58:34
  Speaker 11: solemn and serious it looks. Surely the minute hand is important.
• 58:38
  Speaker 11: What time is it? Fifteen minutes after, fifteen minutes after what?
• 58:43
  Speaker 11: The minute hand does not say? Ah, there's the hour hand, strong, steady, dependable.
• 58:50
  Speaker 11: The hour hand does not move very fast. You cannot
• 58:52
  Speaker 11: see it move. It makes no fuss at all. But
• 58:55
  Speaker 11: you can tell time by the hour hand. Let your
• 58:58
  Speaker 11: life be like the hour hand of the water, so

  Speaker 11: true and steady that other girls and boys who daily

  Speaker 11: What did you see? A few days ago? I made
• 59:53
  Speaker 11: a trip on the train. When I returned home, one
• 59:55
  Speaker 11: of the first questions, if my little boy asked me,
• 59:58
  Speaker 11: was what did you sa see? I shall tell you
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 11: what I told him. Looking out of the car window,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 11: I saw an immense field, acres and acres, and for
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 11: that field were planted hundreds, yes, thousands, of little trees.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 11: I inquired of the man who sat next to me,
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 11: what are those little trees for? He said, they are
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 11: growing those little trees to reforest the desolate, burned over
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 11: regions of the Adirondacks. I said to myself, that is
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 11: just what we are doing in my church. We are
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 11: growing little girls and boys to reforest for needy places
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 11: of the earth. I inquired how long do they keep
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 11: those little trees there? Not very long, said he, just
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 11: long enough to give them a good start. Then they
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 11: transplant him again. I said to myself, that is exactly
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 11: what we do. We keep the girls and boys only
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 11: a little while. Then they are transplanted. I had another question.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 11: When they transplant these little trees, how do they plant
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 11: them haphazard every which way? No, indeed, was his an, sir.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 11: They are planted in rows and close together. Exactly what
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 11: we are doing in our church.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 13: I thought.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 11: We are growing our girls and boys, and we are
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 11: keeping them close together because they are such a help
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 11: to one another, and there is great inspiration in numbers.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 11: Looking out of the train window at those trees of
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 11: future forests, I thought of the verse in Isaiah, the
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 11: mountains and the trees shall break forth before you into singing,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 11: and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 11: I can hear the mountains and the hills of the
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 11: Adirondax singing because of the growing trees. And I hear
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 11: the mountains and the hills of Earth singing because of
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 11: the millions of growing girls and boys, who shall reforest
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 11: the desolate places of Earth. Memory Verse Psalm ninety two thirteen.

  Speaker 11: Bruce Wright. Knife Lessons. I have here a knife. It
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 11: was given me by a friend, a token of his
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 11: affection in the steam when I went aboard the steamer
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 11: in Manila, Philippine Islands, to return to the homeland. All
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 11: these years since then, the knife has been on my
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 11: study desk daily teaching me. What lessons does this knife teach?
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 11: First of all, the knife tells me of strength. The
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 11: most important part of this knife is what I call
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 11: the backbone. It is the main portion of the knife
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 11: to which all the blades are fastened, as well as
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 11: the polished pearl handle. This would be a week and
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 11: useless knife did it not have a backbone. It says
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 11: to me, every day, be strong, stand up, have convictions,
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 11: be steadfast. Less Number two discipline. This knife has been
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 11: subjected to many trials and tests. The steel of which
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 11: these blades are made had to go through a hard, hot,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 11: trying process before they were tempered and fit to take
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 11: an edge and hold it. Sometimes a rebel about certain
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 11: processes of the days. Then I think of my knife
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 11: and learn from it the lesson of discipline. The third
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 11: lesson this knife teaches me is neatness. Now I could
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 11: picture the man who bought this knife. As he went
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 11: into the store. He stood before the glass show case
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 11: wherein were displayed scores of different kinds of knives. There
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 11: were dark knives and light knives, big knives and little knives.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 11: His eye caught this knife, with its graceful lines, its
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 11: smooth pearl handle, and he said, that is a neat knife.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 11: I'll take that one. People are attracted to you by
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 11: your neatness. The fourth lesson is usefulness. Really, it is
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 11: quite wonderful the variety of uses to which this knife
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 11: can be put. Here's a big blade and a small blade.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 11: Here's a blade with a file folded in the back
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 11: as a tiny pair of scissors. So the great test
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 11: of life is its usefulness memory verse Verse Corinthians nine
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 11: twenty two. I am made of all things to all men,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 11: that I might, by all means save some memory him
• 1:04:24

  Speaker 7: Chapter twenty four letters, Who is the most popular man
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 7: in your life? Who is the man who is most
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 7: eagerly looked for as he comes down the street? The
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 7: postman who receives at every door where he stops, a
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 7: most cordial welcome, the postman. I wonder if the thrill
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 7: of getting a letter will ever pass away. When you
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 7: come home from school, the first thing you do is
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 7: look on the hall table to see if the postman
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 7: has brought you a letter. It is the same when
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 7: we grow up. No matter how many letters we may receive,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 7: we never get over the keen delight of having the
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 7: postman bring us letters. Last Sunday afternoon, you wrote your grandmother.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 7: You said, only two months more of school and then
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 7: I am coming to see you and all the summer vacation.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 7: I am going to play around your big house and
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 7: in the barn, and across the fields and through the
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 7: woods on your way to school. Monday morning you posted
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 7: that letter. Monday afternoon you began looking for an answer.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 7: Tuesday you were impatient that you had not received a reply.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 7: Wednesday you are almost in tears. Though had you only
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 7: stopped to think, you would have known that it takes
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 7: two days for a letter to get to your grandmother.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 7: She lives so far away. Thursday the answer came. I
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 7: am eager for vacation time to come so that you,
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 7: my dear grandchild, may be here with me. I have
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 7: here an unusual book. It is a book of letters.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 7: All the letters were written by a big man, a
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 7: father to little children, his children. The man who wrote
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 7: them was Theodore Roosevelt. What fortunate children were his? Not
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 7: many fathers take time to write their children, as did
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 7: our great president. Oh four more fathers like Roosevelt. OH

  Speaker 7: cheerfully write letters of love Memory Verse first, John two twelve.
• 1:06:41

• 1:07:22
  Speaker 12: Chapter twenty five A unique psalm. I want to tell
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 12: you about a unique psalm. Which psalm is it? It's
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 12: the one hundred and nineteen. The one hundred and nineteen
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 12: psalm is unique because of its length. It is the
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 12: longest of the psalms. It has one hundred and seventy
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 12: six verses. It's unique because of its arrangement. It's divided
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 12: into twenty two equal parts. Each part contains eight verses. Again,
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 12: the one hundred and nineteen Psalm is an across or
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 12: an alphabetical psalm. It is built around the Hebrew alphabet.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 12: Each of the twenty two portions begins with one of
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 12: the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. The psalm is unique
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 12: because of its content. It is given over entirely to
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 12: a consideration of the law and commandments of God. Indeed,
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 12: if you will read the Psalm, you will find that
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 12: every verse says something about the precepts, or the statutes,
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 12: or the commandments, or the Word of God. The one
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 12: hundred and nineteen Psalm contains some of the verses with
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 12: which we are most familiar. Wherewithal shall a young man
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 12: cleanse his way by taking heed? There too, according to
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 12: thy word, or open thou my eyes, that I may
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 12: behold wondrous things out of thy law. Or the word
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 12: is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 12: my path. The Psalm reaches its highest point and finds
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 12: its fullest expression in the ninety fourth verse with three words,
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 12: I am Thine, Young people, I want you to read
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 12: this one hundred and nineteen Psalm. And when you come
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 12: to the ninety fourth verse, I want you to stop
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 12: and say, oh, or very earnestly, very prayerfully, I am Thine,
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 12: and may you be His for all time is my prayer.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 12: Your memory verse is Psalm one, nineteen ninety four. I
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 12: am Thine, Save me, for I have sought thy precepts.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 12: Memory Hilm is three forty two. Lord, I am Thine,
• 1:09:21

  Speaker 12: Chapter twenty six, The Father's Care. I have here a nut.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 12: It is a pecan. It grows in our southern states.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 12: It is a well formed nut with a hard shell.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 12: This nut I have cracked. I opened it, and I
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 12: noticed just inside a thin brown coating that covers the meat.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 12: I touched this coating with my lips. It's bitter and
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 12: causes me to pucker. This is the creator's blessed provision
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 12: for the protection of the nut in its growing stage.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 12: The bitter coating keeps insects and pests away. On my
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 12: way to the church this morning, I looked up and
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 12: saw a large piece of yarn flying across the street
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 12: at a rapid rate. I wondered what could be the
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 12: cause of this. Then at the end of the yarn,
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 12: I saw bird. The bird flew into the gable of
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 12: a big house. There, in a protected corner, she was
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 12: making her nest. The yarn was to be woven into
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 12: her spring house. So God gives instinct to birds and
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 12: all of his creatures as a mark of his loving care.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 12: The most delicate, sensitive portion of your body is the eye.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 12: When I consider how tender and open to harm the
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 12: eye is, I wonder that so many of us guilt
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 12: your life with our eyes unhurt. But God has provided
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 12: a sleepless protection for our eyes. There is a guard
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 12: always on duty. Whenever danger comes near the guard, our
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 12: eye lid closes and effectively wards off impending trouble. We
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 12: started with the lowest form of life, an inanimate nut.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 12: Now we come to the highest, the soul of man.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 12: For in each of you there is something eternal, something
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 12: akin to God himself. The name we give that eternal
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 12: spirit is the Soul. For the protection of our soul.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 12: God gives us faith, a sense of right and wrong, conscience,
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 12: and still small voice. He surrounds us with Christian homes,
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 12: the church, helpful fellowship, the means of grace. All these
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 12: things are protection for our soul. Your memory verse is
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 12: Matthew six twenty eight and twenty nine. Consider the lilies
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 12: of the field, how they grow, they toil, not neither
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 12: do they spend. And yet I say unto you that
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 12: even Solomon, in all his glory, was not arrayed like
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 12: one of these. The memory helm is five seventeen, while

  Speaker 13: Recording my Lorraine Paquette The Children's Six Minutes by Bruce Wright,
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 13: Chapter twenty seven yokes. A yoke is a help, not
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 13: a hindrance. Our first thought is that a yoke is burdensome.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 13: A little study reveals to us the great usefulness of
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 13: the yoke. Have you ever seen a yoke of oxen?
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 13: What heavy, slow moving creatures they are. But they are
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 13: polars of heavy loads. These loads could not be drawn
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 13: by them were they not yoked together. Now there are
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 13: different kinds of yokes. That is, there are many ways
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 13: of rendering easier the carrying of heavy loads. For example,
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 13: there is the oriental way. First, there is the manner
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 13: in which one man will carry a heavy load. He
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 13: takes a pole. On each end of the pole hangs
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 13: a rope. Then he divides his load, fastening half of
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 13: his load to either rope. He gets beneath the pole,
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 13: which is shaped to fit his shoulder, lifts and off
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 13: he trots as easily and jauntily as can be. Sometimes
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 13: the load is too heavy for one man. He then
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 13: summons a companion. They get a longer, heavier pole with
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 13: a much stouter rope. This time they do not divide
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 13: the load. Rather they keep it together. They fasten the
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 13: rope securely about it, and then tie it about the pole.
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 13: The men stoop, one at each end of the heavy pole.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 13: They stand up straight. The load is lifted from the ground,
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 13: only a few inches, perhaps, but enough to clear the ground. Then,
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 13: singing and laughing, keeping perfect time, each with the other,
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 13: they swing down the street. It is incredible the heavy
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 13: loads they carry. I could not believe my eyes when
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 13: I looked upon some of them. Jeez, this is perfectly
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 13: understood the helpfulness and value of the yoke. He made
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 13: it most beautiful in that he told his followers that
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 13: he would help them, that he would carry his part
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 13: of the burden, that he would share with them the
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 13: other side of the yoke. Memory Verse Matthew eleven twenty
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 13: nine to thirty. Take my yoke upon you and learn
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 13: of me, For I am meek and lowly in heart,
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 13: and ye shall find rest unto your souls, for my
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 13: yoke is easy and my burden is light. Memory Hymn

  Speaker 13: Chapter twenty eight Good advice. Most of us men and women,
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 13: as well as girls and boys, do not take kindly
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 13: to advice. We very much prefer that people keep their
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 13: advice to themselves. There are times, however, when we are
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 13: compelled to listen to advice because of the source. Here
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 13: is a bit of advice that commands our attention. It
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 13: is from the great English novelist Charles Dickens. Charles Dickens's
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 13: youngest boy, Edward, left home when he was sixteen years
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 13: of age and went to Australia. His father wrote him
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 13: a parting letter, which is worth while for all boys,
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 13: whether or not they leave home. In that letter, the
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 13: great Dickens said, I put a New Testament among your
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 13: books for the very same reasons and with the very
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 13: same hopes that made me write an easy account of
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 13: it for you when you were a little child, because
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 13: it is the best book that ever was or ever
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 13: will be in the world, and because it teaches you
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 13: the best lessons by which any human creature who tries
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 13: to be truthful and faithful to duty can possibly be guided.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 13: As your brothers have gone away one by one, I
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 13: have written to each such words as I am now
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 13: writing to you, and have entreated them all to guide
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 13: themselves by this book. Putting aside the interpretations and inventions
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 13: of men. Never abandon the wholesome practice of saying your
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 13: own private prayers night and morning. I have never abandoned
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 13: it myself, and know the comfort of it. Now that
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 13: we are done reading this letter. It does not sound
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 13: like advice at all, does it. It is all so
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 13: wholesome and sturdy that we feel like speaking write out loud.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 13: Thank you, mister Dickens, Thank you very much. Memory Verse

  Speaker 8: Chapter twenty nine. If I were a boy again, Chicago University,
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 8: one of the great schools of America and the world,
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 8: received its impetus from the tireless energy and brilliant leadership
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 8: of its great President, Doctor Harper. After his death, there
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 8: was found among his papers a memorandum which read as follows.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 8: If I were a boy again, I would strive to
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 8: find out from good books how good men lived. If
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 8: I were a boy again, I would study the Bible
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 8: even more than I did. I would make it a
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 8: mental companion. The Bible is a necessity for every boy.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 8: If I were a boy again, I would more and
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 8: more cultivate the company of these older whose graces of
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 8: person and mind would help me on in my good work.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 8: I would always seek good company. If I were a
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 8: boy again, I would study the life and character of
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 8: our Savior persistently, that I might become more and more
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 8: like unto him.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 10: Now.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 8: President Harper was a great, wise and good man. If
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 8: he felt that he would do certain things were he
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 8: a boy again, Surely the rest of us could improve
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 8: upon our boyhood years, had we the chance. If I
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 8: were a boy again, I would be more attentive to
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 8: church and Sunday School and the things that were taught
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 8: me there. If I were a boy again, I would
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 8: get my day school lessons with greater care. If I
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 8: were a boy again, I would be more obedient to
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 8: and more thoughtful of my parents. Why should I talk
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 8: like this? For I cannot be a boy again. But
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 8: you boys have your boyhood. It is a present reality.

  Speaker 5: chapter thirty one. By one, here is this great church building.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 5: It is a beautiful structure, is it not? It is
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 5: so substantial. It has stood here for so many years.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 5: We take it so for granted that it seems as
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 5: though it had always been here. But there was a
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 5: day when the ground upon which this building stands was
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 5: vacant ground. Then men came with picks and shovels, wagons
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 5: and plows, and set to work. They laid the foundation
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 5: stone upon stone. Then the walls rose stone upon stone,
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 5: then the spire stone upon stone, until the very peak
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 5: was reached. For our church is stoned from the foundation
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 5: to the top of the spire. How were these thousands
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 5: of stones put in place? One by one? Think also
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 5: of the roof of our church. It is a tile roof.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 5: How in the world did they get all those tiles
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 5: up on the roof and fitted in place. Did some
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 5: man who is very strong stand back and throw a
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 5: handful of tile at the roof? No, it was done
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 5: one by one. To day it is snowing outside. Some
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 5: one has figured that in a square mile, one foot
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 5: of snow would weigh sixty five thousand tons. If you
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 5: should take sleds and horses and put a ton of
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 5: snow on each sled, and arrange the horses and sleds
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 5: in a procession. The sleds carrying the snow from that
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 5: square mile of territory would reach from Philadelphia to New York,
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 5: and beyond New York straight up the Hudson almost to Albany.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 5: That is only one square mile, and there are thousands
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 5: of square miles every winter covered with snow. How does
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 5: this snow come in tiny flakes, one by one? It
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 5: is the same with life. God gives us many days,
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 5: but he sends them one at a time. He also
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 5: sends us many duties, but they do not come on moss.

• 1:25:02
  Speaker 14: is not a girl or boy here this morning who
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 14: does not feel within the desire to do good. The
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 14: drawing power of good, in other words, the drawing power
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 14: of God. He it is who says to you, come.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 14: I want to illustrate this by a few things which
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 14: I have here. The first is this magnet, and here
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 14: are some small nails. These tiny nails represent girls and
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 14: boys of about eleven or twelve years of age. I
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 14: apply the magnet to these nails, and I lift up
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 14: Can you see me twenty five or thirty nails. You see,
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 14: it is a great deal easier to respond to the
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 14: drawing power of good, to answer the great come in
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 14: girlhood or boyhood. Now Here are some nails that are
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 14: a little larger. I can lift up only five or
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 14: six of these larger nails. They represent young people of
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 14: eighteen or nineteen. As one gets older, he does not
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 14: hear as readily. At least he does not answer Christ's
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 14: blessed colme. Next, we have some nails still larger. The
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 14: magnet will lift up only one or two of these.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 14: They stand for men and women in mature life.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 14: If one has not responded to Christ's call in childhood
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 14: or youth, it becomes increasingly difficult as the years pass.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 14: How seldom, how very seldom does an aged one answer
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 14: the divine call and give his heart to the Lord.
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 14: Here is a very large nail, and it is rusty. Indeed,
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 14: it is literally coated with rust. This represents the life
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 14: that is deep in sin for long years, this life
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 14: has been persisting in his evil ways. As the magnet
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 14: must be very strong to penetrate the rust and grip
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 14: the nail. So Christ's call must be strong in loving
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 14: to reach the sinful soul. Christ can save from the uttermost.
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 6: But how much better.

• 1:27:52
  Speaker 13: a time, long long ago, there was a man who
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 13: had a wife and two sons. There was a famine
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 13: in the land where he lived. He said to his
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 13: wife and sons, we will journey down to another country
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 13: where the crops have not failed. There shall we find
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 13: plenty to eat, and there will we make our home.
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 13: So the family moved to the strange land, where they
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 13: prospered and were happy. In time, the boys grew to
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 13: young manhood and married young women of the new land
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 13: where they dwelt. Then sorrow entered their homes, as sorrow
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 13: comes sooner or later to every home. The father and
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 13: the two sons died, and the mother and her two
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 13: daughters in law were left alone. The mother, whose name
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 13: was Naomi, said, I am going back to the land
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 13: where I lived in former days, back to the people
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 13: of my girlhood. The young women said we shall go
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 13: with you also. No, replied Naomi, you must not do that.
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 13: Go back to your homes. There you shall be cared for,
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 13: and may the Lord deal gently with you. You the
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 13: names of these two daughters in law were Ruth and Urpah.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 13: It was Ruth who then spoke up and said, in
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 13: words that are not surpassed in all the English language,
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 13: entreat me not to leave THEE or to return from

  Speaker 13: and where thou lodgest I will lodge. Thy people shall

• 1:29:29
  Speaker 13: diest will I die, and there will I be buried?

• 1:30:54
  Speaker 14: after the landing of the first pilgrim fathers in New England,
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 14: there was a man by the name of John Eliot
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 14: who came to this new and unsettled country of America.
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 14: He was a devoted Christian, an earnest, patient, persistent missionary.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 14: He lived for sixty years in Massachusetts, and most of
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 14: these years were spent among the Redskins who inhabited that section.
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 14: He loved them, worked with them, learned their language, reduced
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 14: it to writing, then translated for them the scriptures. He
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 14: was called, and he is still known by the name
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 14: Apostle to the Indians. The word at the head of
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 14: the page shows what labors he entered into. All this
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 14: was made possible through putting into practice his own motto,
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 14: prayer and pains through faith in Christ will do anything.
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 14: What good John Eliot did for the Indians, some one
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 14: must have done for the human race, Who invented the
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 14: first alphabet, Who conceived the idea of letters, Who planned
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 14: out the putting of certain letters together to form a word,
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 14: then placing certain words in a string to form a sentence,
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 14: that sentence conveying an idea. Who did all this? We
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 14: do not know. The blessed work has gone on until
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 14: the knowledge of letters is so taken for granted that
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 14: we have a saying as plain as a b. C.

  Speaker 7: What the Trees said to me. Across the street from
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 7: my house is a large and beautiful park. It has
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 7: inviting winding paths, great quantities of flowers, and many varieties
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 7: of trees. Early one summer day, before most people were up,
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 7: I strolled through the park and thought I was all alone.
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 7: But suddenly I heard a voice. Stand erect, Do not
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 7: walk with stooping, shoulders head up, shoulders back. Now, I
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 7: confess I was walking and thinking as I walked with
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 7: shoulders bent and head forward. At once I straightened up
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 7: and looked about to see who was speaking. It was
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 7: the voice of a pine tree growing hard by the path,
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 7: tall and straight as a plumb line. Thank you, I
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 7: said to the pine. No sooner had I left the pine,
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 7: and was again deep in thought when I heard another voice.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 7: Be courteous. You can never accomplish anything by scolding, insulting,
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 7: or driving people. Be fair and just be like Christ,
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 7: a Christian gentleman. Now, who in the world is speaking
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 7: to me? I looked everywhere, and there was no sign
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 7: of a person in all the park. Here I am,
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 7: the boy said. I looked and there right before me
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 7: was a graceful elm tree, smiling and courteously bowing low
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 7: to me. I shall try and heed your word, I said,
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 7: going on my way. I was no longer absorbed in thought,
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 7: for I knew that other trees would have something to say.
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 7: Sure enough, be steadfast. I heard, what tree could that be?
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 7: I should have known at once the maple. Of course,
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 7: Now the white birch beckons, how its face shines in
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 7: the light of the early morning, but darker light I
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 7: can distinguish it from all its fellows, always wide a
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 7: face and clean of life, so I can hear it say,
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 7: be clean. Turning my steps homeward, I said to the

  Speaker 7: kindly trees, goodbye and thank you. I shall never forget

• 1:36:08
  Speaker 3: Minutes by Bruce Wright Banks. Here is a bank. I
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 3: have been reading lately about banks. You know that in
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 3: Jesus's day they did not have banks such as we have.
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 3: People took their treasures and jewels and hid them in
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 3: a vessel, or dug a hole in the earth and
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 3: covered their valuable possessions with dirt. But now one of
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 3: the most prominent institutions of any community is the bank.
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 3: What does this bank stand for. In the first place,
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 3: it means strength. It is made of very heavy, hard material.
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 3: There is money in this bank. It does not belong
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 3: to me. It is the property of our Beginner's Department.
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 3: Each Sunday they put their birthday money in here. Then
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 3: at the end of the year they open it and
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 3: the contents is given to our Sunday School Missionary Society,
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 3: that the money may be kept safe and sound to
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 3: the end of the year. The bank is made very strong.
• 1:37:10
  Speaker 3: In the second place, I notice that there is a
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 3: single opening and that the opening is made very small.
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 3: It is meant for small coins. I cannot possibly get
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 3: a one dollar piece into this opening. No, it is
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 3: meant for dimes, nickels, and pennies. That is, it stands
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 3: for thrift. Each little child brings his or her amount
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 3: small in itself, but when they are all together there
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 3: is a considerable sum. Again, I see that this bank
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 3: is made in the form of a church. It is
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 3: really quite a beautiful building. Here is the steeple, here
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 3: the steps, and the wide entrance doors, and the windows
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 3: with genuine cathedral glass. I think it is splendid to
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 3: have a bank look like a church, for, after all,
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 3: a church is a sort of bed. It stands for
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 3: those treasures which Jesus talked about when he said, lay
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 3: up for yourselves, treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 3: rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 3: and steal Memory Verse Matthew, Chapter six, verse twenty one.

  Speaker 7: Work This morning, I want to talk to you about work.
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 7: All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 7: We are sorry for girls and boys who are compelled
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 7: to work who have little or no time for play.
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 7: Now that is one side. How about the other side?
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 7: All play and no work makes Jack what? There are
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 7: many words we can use here. I have thought about
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 7: this a long time, and I have decided the best
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 7: word to put in here is useless. All play and
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 7: no work makes Jack a useless boy. And of all
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 7: creatures in the world who have no place in the
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 7: scheme of things, it is one who is useless. Now,
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 7: the men who are useful, we shall find are the
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 7: men who, as boys, worked as well as played. A
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 7: few days ago I sat at a public dinner next
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 7: to one of the best known men in this city,
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 7: and a useful man he is. We were talking about
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 7: some of the things boys could busy them themselves with
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 7: and earn a little money. I said, I carried papers
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 7: when I was a boy. He replied, I carried papers
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 7: on the streets of New York City when I was
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 7: a boy. I do not doubt that if we could
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 7: have gone to all the men who sat at that dinner,
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 7: each of the one hundred and fifty would have answered, yes,
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 7: I worked when I was a boy. I have here
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 7: an illustration of work. Here are four nuts, a brazil nut,
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 7: an almond, a walnut, and a pecan. Each morning, as
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 7: you go to school, you pass through the park. There
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 7: in the park the squirrels are always to be seen,
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 7: and to you they seem to be ever at play.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 7: There are days, warm spring days, lovely autumn days, when
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 7: you do not like to go to school. And I
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 7: hear you say, I wish I could be like these squirrels,
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 7: playing around all day long. But the squirrels do not
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 7: play around all day long. They are at work, gathering
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 7: nuts and storing them away for winter use. If I
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 7: should give these nuts to the squirrels, they would have
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 7: to work to open them. All that is good in
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 7: life comes through work. God wants us to work as
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 7: well as play, and play as well as work. Memory

  Speaker 7: The Children's Six Minutes by Bruce Wright, Chapter thirty seven,
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 7: The Big Store. Many of the girls and boys who
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 7: read this little book live in or near one of
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 7: the great cities where they have huge department stores. I
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 7: love to visit a big store. I have spent hours,
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 7: more likely days, if I should count up all the
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 7: time in Wanamakers in New York and Philadelphia, Marshall Fields
• 1:42:08
  Speaker 7: in Chicago, Hangerers in Buffalo, and Etons in Toronto. Any
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 7: season of the year and almost any hour of the day,
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 7: these stores are thronged with people. For people like to
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 7: go to the big store. Now I am thinking of
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 7: another store, a truly big store, the great big store
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 7: of life. We have to visit at this store, whether
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 7: we want to or not. It is not a matter
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 7: of choice, but of necessity. Each morning you visit the
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 7: Big Store of Life. Every evening you return home with
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 7: what you have bought. Not only must you visit this store,
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 7: but you must also buy when you visit Wanamakers, you
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 7: do not have to buy unless you choose. In the
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 7: Big Store of Life, however, you have no choice in
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 7: the matter. You must buy. What must you buy? Well,
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 7: you may buy anything you choose. This is a beautiful
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 7: thing about the Store of Life. While we are impelled
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 7: to buy, we are permitted to choose. We must also pay.
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 7: Good morning, John, what would you like to buy this morning?
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 7: I think I'll buy a good geography lesson. All right,
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 7: you can buy that, but you must pay the price.
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 7: What is the price? Study? Earnest study, never leave the
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 7: preparation until the last minute, or trust to luck. Yes
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 7: it is true. Right on through every department in the
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 7: Big Store of Life. You can buy whatsoever you choose,
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 7: but you must pay the price. Memory Verse Philippians four eight.

  Speaker 15: Recording by Lyman Hopper The Children six Minutes by Bruce Wright. Bread.
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 15: I have here a loaf of bread. This is good
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 15: looking bread.
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 7: Is it not.
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 15: I can almost hear you say, please pass the bread.
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 15: That is I hope you say that. I hope you
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 15: do not say, gimme the bread. Now, every girl and
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 15: boy here knows what it is to be hungry, I'm
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 15: sure of that. And when one is real hungry, there
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 15: is nothing to taste as good as bread. Of course,
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 15: there should be some butter or jam or peanut butter
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 15: spread over the top. My It makes my mouth water,
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 15: doesn't it. We speak of bread as the staff of
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 15: life because we could not be strong in body if
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 15: we did not have bread. We love ice cream and cake,
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 15: meat and potatoes and many other things, but our meal
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 15: is not properly balanced unless there is a plate of
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 15: bread on the table. Jesus taught us to pray, give
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 15: us this day our daily bread. I think this has
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 15: a twofold meaning. It refers to our physical hunger and
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 15: our spiritual needs. All bread comes from the Father above,
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 15: our Father of love. Do you remember those beautiful lines.
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 15: Back of the loaf is the snowy flower, and back
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 15: of the flour the mill, and back of the mill
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 15: the seed and the sun and the shower and the
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 15: Father's will. Jesus once spoke of himself as the bread
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 15: sent down from above. Our Father gives us daily bread
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 15: for our physical needs, and he has also sent Christ
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 15: for our spiritual strength. My dear young people, take him
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 15: as your savior. Memory verse John six fifty one. I
• 1:46:09

  Speaker 16: The Children's Six Minutes by Bruce white Good's measure Here
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 16: you have some measures. This is a rule. We call
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 16: it a folding foot rule. Here is a square, and
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 16: here is a tape measure. There are other measures quarts
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 16: and pecks and bushels. Then there are liquid measures, carts
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 16: and gallons and bowels. There are also measures of weight, ounces, pounds,
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 16: and tons. Now these different measures are the same all
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 16: over the United States. A pound of butter in New
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 16: York is the same as a pound of butter in California.
• 1:47:25
  Speaker 16: There are other countries that do not have measures like ours. France,
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 16: for example, as the metric system. Should you go into
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 16: a dry goods store in Paris, you would not ask
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 16: for a yard of clothes, but for a meter. God's
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 16: measure are the same. God has a measure for girls
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 16: and boys, and that measure is the same in Ohio, Mexico, England,
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 16: or Spain. If it is one to steal in Germany,
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 16: it is one to steal in Brazil. If it was
• 1:47:52
  Speaker 16: one to commit murder in the first century, it is
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 16: one to take life in this century. The Ten Commandments
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 16: are some of Gods measures for us. John, come up here,
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 16: I want to measure you. Stand there. That's right, I
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 16: have the mark. Now let us see how tall you
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 16: are four feet three and one half inches. That's fine.
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 16: Your big boy, aren't you. I wish too that I
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 16: could measure you according to God's measure, But I cannot
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 16: do that. He must do that yourself. How dull are
• 1:48:24
  Speaker 16: you as you look at yourself in the light of
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 16: the Saviour's life according to his measure? I pray that
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 16: you may be tall and strong memory Verse Aphasians four thirteen,
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 16: and of the knowledge of the Son of God, and

  Speaker 17: Chapter forty Sleep. I hope you had a good sleep
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 17: last night. I hope you sleep well every night. God's
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 17: best gift to his children is sleep. You think there
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 17: are some better gifts? Do you name them?
• 1:49:33
  Speaker 18: Ah?
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 17: I thought you were mistaken. The more you think about it,
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 17: the more you would agree with me. That sleep, the
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 17: Father's loving provision for tired people is a most blessed gift. Now,
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 17: God gives sleep not only to girls and boys, but
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 17: to all of his creatures. Do you know how some
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 17: of those creatures sleep? I will tell you. Elephants and
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 17: horses commonly sleep standing up. How would you like to
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 17: hear your mother say, Robert, it's time to go to bed.
• 1:50:07
  Speaker 17: Stand in the corner there and sleep. Most birds sleep
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 17: with the head turn toward the tail and the beak
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 17: poked in under the feathers. Storks, gulls and all other
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 17: long legged birds sleep standing on one leg. It would
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 17: be more difficult to sleep that way than just standing
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 17: in the corner, wonn't it. The fox and the wolf
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 17: sleep with the tip of the nose and the soles
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 17: of the feet close together, and the big bushy tail
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 17: covering all to keep them warm. Owls sleep in the daytime.
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 17: They have eyelids, and over the eyelids curtains. These curtains
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 17: are drawn across the eyes sideways and keep out the
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 17: strong light of the day. Hares, snakes, and fish sleep
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 17: with our eyes open. Why does God give us sleep?
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 17: Is it for the pleasure of sleeping. No, He gives
• 1:51:11
  Speaker 17: us sleep that our bodies and minds may be refreshed.
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 17: The strength we have expended during the day is repaid
• 1:51:21
  Speaker 17: us in the sleep of the night. Be grateful to
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 17: your heavenly Father. When tonight you kneel to pray. Now
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 17: I lay me down to sleep. Memory Verse Psalm one
• 1:51:35

• 1:52:20
  Speaker 5: once lived in a town of some five thousand population.
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 5: In the center of the town was a public square,
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 5: and at the most prominent corner of the square was
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 5: a jeweler's store. In the window of the store was
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 5: a clock which regulated the coming and going of nearly
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 5: all the inhabitants. You see, the children, on their way
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 5: to school had to pass this store, and they always
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 5: glanced in the window to see if they were on time.

  Speaker 5: to the depot. They too looked at the jeweler's clock
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 5: to see if they had plenty of time to make
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 5: their train. The men who worked in the main factory
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 5: of the town went by this corner. Each man, as
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 5: he passed would pull out his watch and set it
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 5: by the jeweler's clock. Now, one morning, for some reason
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 5: or other, the clock was fifteen minutes slow. Children hurrying
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 5: to school looked in at the window, and seeing how
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 5: much time they had, they loitered and were late. Men
• 1:53:16
  Speaker 5: and women going to the train or work glanced at
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 5: the clock, as was their custom, and finding that they
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 5: did not have to hurry. Some missed their train, while
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 5: others were behind time at work. We are all human clocks.
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 5: We set the time for others. Your example, girls and
• 1:53:34
  Speaker 5: boys has much to do with the way other young
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 5: people your companions act. If you marry failed to get
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 5: your lessons, some of your friends are going to say
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 5: Mary doesn't study much, and I'm not going to either, Robert.
• 1:53:48
  Speaker 5: If you indulge in some bad habit, your chum is
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 5: going to say, Robert does this, and I guess I
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 5: can too. Is your life clock running true? Are you
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 5: on time? One? Peter two twenty one for here and
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 5: two where you called? Because Christ also suffered for us,

  Speaker 18: Minutes by Bruce Wright, Chapter forty two. Doors. This morning,
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 18: after you were awake, you passed through your bedroom door,
• 1:54:52
  Speaker 18: and then you went through the bathroom door. Later you
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 18: entered through the door of the dining room. After a
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 18: time with your father and mother, you left the house
• 1:55:01
  Speaker 18: through the outside door. You walk down the street, and
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 18: here you are in church, having entered through yonder door.
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 18: Every day you are passing through various doors. What wonderful
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 18: things doors are? I wonder who invented doors? What would
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 18: we do without doors? There are doors to houses, and
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 18: there are doors to life. Let me tell you about them.
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 18: A door is made of wood. What beautiful wood is
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 18: in these church doors. The doors of life are made
• 1:55:28
  Speaker 18: of our will. By the exercise of our will, we
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 18: open and close whatsoever doors of life we choose. The
• 1:55:34
  Speaker 18: doors of our houses swing on hinges. Heavy doors seem
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 18: as light as a feather because they are so delicately
• 1:55:40
  Speaker 18: hung upon hinges. These hinges of the doors of life
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 18: are made not of brass or iron, but of love.
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 18: When in a little while you leave this church, you
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 18: will take hold of the knob and pull open the door.
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 18: The doors of life have knobs. These knobs are called courtesy.
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 18: You can pull well nigh any door you choose, if
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 18: only you will use the knob of courtesy. What about
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 18: the lock? Yes, doors have locks, so also have the
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 18: doors of life. Can you guess what locks the door
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 18: of life? It is faith. If you have faith, faith
• 1:56:19
  Speaker 18: in God, faith in the Savior, faith in the things
• 1:56:22
  Speaker 18: that are true and pure, you need never fear that
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 18: your house of life will be broken into by burglars.
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 18: You are secure if you have the lock of faith.
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 18: Now Here is a strange paradox, namely, you lock the
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 18: door only by opening it. Open your door to the
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 18: master memory Verse Revelations, Chapter three, Verse twenty Behold, I
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 18: stand the door and knock. If any man hear my
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 18: voice and open the door, I will come in to him,

• 1:57:39
  Speaker 18: A businessman would not consider this subject a very good advertisement.
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 18: He believes that the best things are never the cheapest.
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 18: There are a few instances, however, in which that is
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 18: not the case. First, the air we breathe it does
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 18: not cost us anything. It isn't metered out to us.
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 18: So we have a saying, as free as air. You
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 18: go down to the drug store in buy a bottle
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 18: of perfume. A good perfume will cost not less than
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 18: a dollar a bottle. The air we breathe is infinitely
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 18: purer and better than the costliest perfume. Second, the water
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 18: we drink. Do you like ice cream soda? I'm sure
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 18: you do. If you do not, you are not a
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 18: normal girl or boy. How much would you pay for
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 18: a good ice cream soda that depends some places it's
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 18: ten cents and some fifteen cents. You think you might
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 18: like to have ice cream soda every meal, but you
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 18: would soon tire of it. The water you drink is necessary,
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 18: and it costs you nothing. Third, a book that is
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 18: this book, the Bible. If you wish to buy an
• 1:58:41
  Speaker 18: up to date book of fiction, it will cost you
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 18: anywhere from one dollar to three dollars. But here is
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 18: a book, the most popular, the most wonderful book that
• 1:58:52
  Speaker 18: was ever written. You can buy a Bible for a
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 18: few pennies. And if you do not have the pennies,
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 18: there is a great babble society that will give you
• 1:59:02
  Speaker 18: a copy. That none may be without the Word of life. Finally,
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 18: the things that are the cheapest and the best are
• 1:59:09
  Speaker 18: the things of the soul, the spiritual ministries and influences
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 18: of life. They are worship, communion, faith, hope, prayer, and love.
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 18: No one stands at yonder door and demands a dollar
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 18: of you as you enter. The seats in this church
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 18: are free to the rich and poor, aged and young.
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 18: These free seats typify the salvation that is here proclaimed
• 1:59:34

• 2:00:32
  Speaker 13: Chapter forty four. In the Dark, I have here what
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 13: are commonly known as Chinese lilies. Two weeks ago they
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 13: were only two or three inches high. Now they are
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 13: between two and three feet. How rapidly they have grown?
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 13: How can we account for it? I can give one reason.
• 2:00:56
  Speaker 13: It is because they had adequate preparation. Bulbs from which
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 13: these lilies grew were kept in the dark for ten days.
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 13: There in the dark they stored up strength and energy
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 13: for the work that was before them. Many years of
• 2:01:12
  Speaker 13: our Saviour's life were spent in obscurity. They were years when,
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 13: as far as the world is concerned, he was in
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 13: the dark preparing for the great work of his public ministry.
• 2:01:23
  Speaker 13: My dear young people, do not be fretful over the
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 13: days and years you have to go to school. They
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 13: are not simply days of waiting. They are days of preparation. Again,
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 13: these lilies come from dark and humble surroundings. Here is
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 13: a very plain dish. In the dish are a few
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 13: ordinary stones picked up in our yard. Water is poured
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 13: upon the stones. Among these stones the lily bulbs take root.
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 13: Girls and boys. It does not matter a great deal
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 13: what sort of a home you have of, if only
• 2:02:01
  Speaker 13: it is a good home. John Wesley's youth was hid
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 13: away in a poor Methodist parsonage. Abraham Lincoln was born
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 13: and grew up in the dark and humble surroundings of
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 13: a log cabin. Our Savior himself was born in a manger,
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 13: and his boyhood home was far from being a palace.
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 13: Make the best of what you have, and all will
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 13: be well. God will take care of you and bring
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 13: you out of the darkness. Memory Verse some A hundred
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 13: thirty nine twelve. YEA, the darkness hideth not from THEE,
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 13: but the night shineth as the day. The darkness and

• 2:03:22
  Speaker 19: Chapter forty five. What is the loudest noise You've ever heard?
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 19: Did you ever hear an immense cannon fired? Of course
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 19: you've heard thunder. The loudest, most terrifying noise I've ever
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 19: heard was a boiler explosion. The town heating plant was
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 19: only three doors from my home. The whole plants blew up.
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 19: One prayer meeting evening, the church building was plunged into darkness.
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 19: The walls shook, windows were broken on every side. In terror,
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 19: people got down on their knees and crept toward the door.
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 19: That was the loudest noise I ever heard. Now Here
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 19: a hammer. I'll drop it to the floor. Listen, is
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 19: a noise very loud. Here I have a heavy railroad spike.
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 19: Hear the noise this makes as it is dropped. And
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 19: now I shall drop this large nail. The noise that
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 19: made is not nearly as loud as the noise occasioned
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 19: by the falling hammer. Here is a small nail. You
• 2:04:22
  Speaker 19: will have to listen very carefully if you hear the
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 19: sound of the nail as it strikes the carpet. Have
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 19: you good ears, Let's test them. Here is an ordinary pin.
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 19: If you keep very quiet, you will be able to
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 19: hear the falling of this tiny pin. Do not move
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 19: in your seat. Everyone attention. Listen. Did you hear it? Yes,
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 19: most of you did. That pin did not make very
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 19: much noise. No sound could be more subdued than a
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 19: dropping pin. Ah, But there is a sound that is
• 2:04:56
  Speaker 19: infinitely more quiet. At the same time, it is louder
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 19: than the roll of thunder, or the firing of a
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 19: huge cannon, or the explosion of a great boiler. Some
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 19: call it conscience. I like to think of it as
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 19: a voice. It is the still small voice within. When
• 2:05:14
  Speaker 19: you go to do wrong, this voice speaks to you.
• 2:05:17
  Speaker 19: Hear the voice and give good heed memory Verse First
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 19: Kings nineteen twelve. And after the earthquake of fire, but
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 19: the Lord was not in the fire, And after the fire,

• 2:06:22
  Speaker 8: What does Thanksgiving mean to you? I hear one boy
• 2:06:26
  Speaker 8: say it means a big dinner. I think we all
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 8: agree with him who does not welcome and enjoy a
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 8: good dinner. I hear Mary say Thanksgiving means a day
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 8: off from school. I guess you are right too. School
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 8: is not such a charming place that girls and boys
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 8: are unwilling to have an occasional holiday. Now, I'm going
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 8: to ask some of the older people what the day
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 8: means to them. There is a young woman. She is
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 8: a stenographer. She says, Thanksgiving means a day away from
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 8: the office. I am at the office every day except Sunday,
• 2:07:05
  Speaker 8: and I do appreciate now and then a day that
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 8: is really my own. Yonder is a traveling salesman. What
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 8: does Thanksgiving mean to you? He says, it means a
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 8: day at home? Last year I spent one hundred and
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 8: sixty nine nights away from home. I have three children.
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 8: I should like to see them every day. There are
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 8: times when many days pass and I do not see them.
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 8: Thanksgiving week, I plan to be at home. There are
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 8: others I could ask. Each has his answer, But Thanksgiving
• 2:07:42
  Speaker 8: has a special meaning for us. It is the harvest time.
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 8: I have here an apple. Isn't this a beautiful apple?
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 8: What color? Who mixed the paints? Who handled the brush
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 8: to give such color to this apple? God God, He,
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 8: in his infinite love and wisdom, has provided, through the
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 8: unfailing laws of nature for the growth sweetness, coloring and
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 8: beautifying of all the products of the fields. This apple
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 8: is but one of many kinds of fruits. Praise, then,
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 8: is the great meaning of thanksgiving. God, our heavenly Father
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 8: sends us every good gift from his bountiful hand. Come
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 8: our daily and nightly mercies. We should praise him every day.
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 8: But the day where the united chorus of praise is
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 8: thanksgiving Memory verse Psalm one fifty verse six. Let everything
• 2:08:52

  Speaker 19: Chapter forty seven. Marbles in the Pocket. Do you know
• 2:09:44
  Speaker 19: what a missionary box is? Well, I'll tell you. It
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 19: is a box or barrel sent from a missionary society
• 2:09:51
  Speaker 19: in a city or town to a missionary family or
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 19: school on the frontier. The box contains clothing, bedding, sometimes toys, dolls,
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 19: and pickture books if her children at the frontier end
• 2:10:02
  Speaker 19: of the journey. In a certain city, one Christmas season,
• 2:10:06
  Speaker 19: the children of the Sunday School brought gifts to fill
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 19: a box. Some brought clothes that they had outgrown. Some
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 19: who had two coats, decided they'd give one. Others brought books.
• 2:10:17
  Speaker 19: One little girl brought a beautiful doll. She had other dolls,
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 19: and this one she dearly loved. But she said, I
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 19: want some other little girl to be happy, and I
• 2:10:26
  Speaker 19: think I can get along without this doll, though I
• 2:10:28
  Speaker 19: shall miss her dreadfully. One day, the committee came together
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 19: to sort the gifts and pack the box. One woman
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 19: picked up a boy's coat. She felt something hard in
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 19: one of the pockets. Another woman said, better, look all
• 2:10:42
  Speaker 19: through those pockets. You can never tell what a boy
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 19: will use his pockets for. So she went all through
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 19: the pockets. In one of them she found a soiled
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 19: handkerchief tied in a knot with much pulling, for it
• 2:10:54
  Speaker 19: was a hard knot. She loosed the little package and
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 19: there she found five marbles. With the marbles was a
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 19: note scrawled in a boy's hand, Dear boy who gets
• 2:11:03
  Speaker 19: his coat. I have eight marbles. First I've put him
• 2:11:06

  Speaker 19: forty eight. What month is this? The first month? December?
• 2:12:24
  Speaker 19: It is the first month in the year. No, no,
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 19: you say December is the last month. I cannot entirely
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 19: agree with you. December is last on the calendar, but
• 2:12:35
  Speaker 19: first in importance. Now you agree with me, do you not?
• 2:12:40
  Speaker 19: How many days has December one day?
• 2:12:43
  Speaker 10: No?
• 2:12:43
  Speaker 19: No, I gain here you say December has thirty one days.
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 19: I think we can reach an agreement on this point too.
• 2:12:52
  Speaker 19: There is one day in December of unexcelled importance and loveliness.
• 2:12:57
  Speaker 19: That day is a twenty fifth. Yes, we all say
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 19: there is but one day in December. How readily we
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 19: agree when we understand one another. What is the twenty fifth?
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 19: It is a pivotal day in the history of the world.
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 19: It is a day upon which the king of kings
• 2:13:13
  Speaker 19: and the Lord of lords was born. Jesus, son of
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 19: Man and Son of God, came into the world as
• 2:13:20
  Speaker 19: we all come, as a tiny babe. It brings him
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 19: much nearer to us, does it not to think that
• 2:13:26
  Speaker 19: our Savior was once as we are? He grew up
• 2:13:29
  Speaker 19: as a child, a boy, a youth, a man. It
• 2:13:33
  Speaker 19: is a birth day of Christ, the savior we celebrate
• 2:13:36
  Speaker 19: on the twenty fifth of each December. To whom did
• 2:13:40
  Speaker 19: Jesus come. He came to a lowly people. He was
• 2:13:44
  Speaker 19: revealed first of all to the shepherds. The shepherd's task
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 19: was not an enviable one. He was out in the open,
• 2:13:50
  Speaker 19: subject to storms and winds and wild beasts. His business
• 2:13:54
  Speaker 19: was to shepherd the sheep, to lead them to good pasture,
• 2:13:57
  Speaker 19: to protect them from all harm and danger. The shepherd's
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 19: task was lonely as well as lowly. His days and
• 2:14:05
  Speaker 19: nights were passed in solitude. Occasionally a group of shepherds
• 2:14:09
  Speaker 19: would come together, but for the most part they were
• 2:14:11
  Speaker 19: alone with their flocks. God chose those people whose minds
• 2:14:16
  Speaker 19: were clear, whose lives were pure, to be the first
• 2:14:19
  Speaker 19: messengers of the glad tidings of great Joy Memory Verse

• 2:15:18
  Speaker 20: to day about two hymns The first is a man
• 2:15:22
  Speaker 20: him h i m. The second is a song h
• 2:15:26
  Speaker 20: y m men him. The man him is Phillips Brooks.
• 2:15:30
  Speaker 20: He was born in eighteen thirty five and died in
• 2:15:32
  Speaker 20: eighteen ninety three. He never married, so he had no
• 2:15:35
  Speaker 20: girls and boys of his own, but he loved all children.
• 2:15:38
  Speaker 20: He had a great warm heart, and in that heart
• 2:15:41
  Speaker 20: was a big corner for all young people. He became
• 2:15:44
  Speaker 20: a minister. His first church was in Philadelphia. Later he
• 2:15:47
  Speaker 20: moved to Boston. He had not been in Boston very
• 2:15:50
  Speaker 20: long when one night, about midnight, the people saw flames
• 2:15:53
  Speaker 20: breaking out through the roof of the church. A sorrowing
• 2:15:56
  Speaker 20: congregation with their pastor watched their loved church as it
• 2:16:01
  Speaker 20: burned to the ground. When after the fire, they came together,
• 2:16:04
  Speaker 20: they inquired, what shall we do? Shall we rebuild here
• 2:16:07
  Speaker 20: or shall we take another location. Finally it was decided
• 2:16:10
  Speaker 20: to build a new church on Copley Square. That was
• 2:16:14
  Speaker 20: many years ago. They built a beautiful temple of worship.
• 2:16:17
  Speaker 20: It is still known everywhere as Philip Brooks Church. So
• 2:16:21
  Speaker 20: wonderfully did his personality enter into the project. Now, the
• 2:16:24
  Speaker 20: second hymn, When Phillips Brooks was a young man in Philadelphia,
• 2:16:28
  Speaker 20: he made a trip to the Holy Land. As Christmas
• 2:16:30
  Speaker 20: drew near, he wrote and sent back to the girls
• 2:16:32
  Speaker 20: and boys of his Sunday school a Christmas point. The
• 2:16:35
  Speaker 20: organists of his church composed music for the words, and
• 2:16:38
  Speaker 20: this hymn was sung for the first time in Trinity Church, Philadelphia.
• 2:16:43
  Speaker 20: It is a beautiful Christmas hymn. Yes, it is my favorite. O,
• 2:16:47
  Speaker 20: Little Town of Bethlehem, How still we see THEE lie
• 2:16:50
  Speaker 20: your memory? Verse Matthew two six, Thou Bethlehem, in the
• 2:16:54
  Speaker 20: land of Judah, art not the least among the princes
• 2:16:58
  Speaker 20: of Judah. For out of THEE shall come a governor

• 2:17:42
  Speaker 5: For a few years I lived in the country where
• 2:17:44
  Speaker 5: December is as pleasant as May. The weather was warm
• 2:17:48
  Speaker 5: all through the year, the ground was never frozen, for
• 2:17:51
  Speaker 5: there was never any frost. I never saw snowflake in
• 2:17:55
  Speaker 5: all the years I lived in the tropics. The trees
• 2:17:58
  Speaker 5: were trees of the hot climate, most palm, bamboo, and
• 2:18:01
  Speaker 5: acacia trees. When Christmas drew near, I thought the day
• 2:18:05
  Speaker 5: would be a dreary day and wholly on christmaslike, because
• 2:18:09
  Speaker 5: there would be no snow and we would be without
• 2:18:11
  Speaker 5: our custom tree. A few days before our first Christmas
• 2:18:16
  Speaker 5: in the tropics, a friend said to me, I am
• 2:18:19
  Speaker 5: sending a tree down from the mountains for your children.
• 2:18:22
  Speaker 5: In due time, the tree arrived. You can imagine the
• 2:18:25
  Speaker 5: joy of our entire household when they looked upon a genuine,
• 2:18:28
  Speaker 5: evergreen Christmas tree. We set it up in our big salah,
• 2:18:32
  Speaker 5: that is our living room, and there it remained for
• 2:18:35
  Speaker 5: many days the daylight of our eyes. The tree of
• 2:18:39
  Speaker 5: the Christmas season has some specifically Christmas messages. First, it
• 2:18:44
  Speaker 5: is evergreen that reminds us of the eternal Savior, the
• 2:18:47
  Speaker 5: same yesterday, today, and forever. At the very tip top
• 2:18:52
  Speaker 5: of the tree we place a star. There it shines
• 2:18:55
  Speaker 5: high above all else, reminding us of the higher, holier
• 2:18:58
  Speaker 5: life to which we are some. And the star beckons
• 2:19:02
  Speaker 5: us to loftier aspirations. Christ came down from heaven. He
• 2:19:06
  Speaker 5: became one of us, sharing our human life, but He
• 2:19:10
  Speaker 5: is ever above us as well as with us, luring
• 2:19:13
  Speaker 5: us on to the life of God. The Christmas Tree
• 2:19:16
  Speaker 5: is ablaze with lights. Jesus brought light into the world.
• 2:19:20
  Speaker 5: How dark the world would be without him. About the
• 2:19:23
  Speaker 5: base of the tree, and suspended from the branches, are
• 2:19:26
  Speaker 5: many gifts. They are tokens of the love and esteem
• 2:19:29
  Speaker 5: we hold for each other, and remind us of God's
• 2:19:31
  Speaker 5: great gift of love, Christ himself memory Verse John three sixteen.
• 2:19:38
  Speaker 5: For God so loved the world that he gave his
• 2:19:40
  Speaker 5: only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish,
• 2:19:45
  Speaker 5: but have everlasting life memory Him. One hundred and twelve.

  Speaker 7: The best word? What is the best word? I think
• 2:20:22
  Speaker 7: I can hear? Each of you. As he answers, one
• 2:20:24
  Speaker 7: says mother is the best word. Another says father, still
• 2:20:28
  Speaker 7: another daddy. A fourth one answers home. Now hear the
• 2:20:32
  Speaker 7: voice that says America. Another voice shouts friend. Yes, there
• 2:20:36
  Speaker 7: are many many words to which we might rightfully give
• 2:20:39
  Speaker 7: the title best word. But for this season of the year,
• 2:20:43
  Speaker 7: and for this particular Sunday, there is one word that
• 2:20:46
  Speaker 7: stands out from all the others. That one word is Christmas.
• 2:20:50
  Speaker 7: Tomorrow will be Christmas Day. I think this word Christmas
• 2:20:54
  Speaker 7: is the best word because it includes all the other words.
• 2:20:58
  Speaker 7: In your home, you have a rug. There are many
• 2:21:00
  Speaker 7: colors in that rug, yet it is all one fabric.
• 2:21:03
  Speaker 7: The many colors are skillfully woven and beautifully blended to
• 2:21:06
  Speaker 7: make with the one fabric. Think of the word Christmas
• 2:21:09
  Speaker 7: as a rug made up of many words of many colors.
• 2:21:13
  Speaker 7: We see in this rug the word mother. What would
• 2:21:15
  Speaker 7: Christmas be without mother? We also see the word father,
• 2:21:18
  Speaker 7: the words sister, brother, grandfather, grandmother, aunt, uncle, friend, Home. Then,
• 2:21:25
  Speaker 7: clearest of all in this wonderful rug is the word
• 2:21:28
  Speaker 7: christ christ Is Christmas. Yes, Christmas is the best word,
• 2:21:33
  Speaker 7: for it gathers within its meaning all other good words
• 2:21:37
  Speaker 7: this happy day, whose risen son shall set not through eternity,
• 2:21:42
  Speaker 7: This holy day when Christ the Lord took on him
• 2:21:45
  Speaker 7: our humanity for little children everywhere, A joyous season still
• 2:21:50
  Speaker 7: we make. We bring our precious gifts to them, even
• 2:21:54

  Speaker 3: Recording by Andrew White. The Children six Minutes by Bruce Wright,
• 2:22:37
  Speaker 3: Chapter fifty two, Last but not least? How often have
• 2:22:43
  Speaker 3: we heard this phrase? You girls and boys? Use it here?
• 2:22:47
  Speaker 3: I am last, but not least. When Jesus was on earth,
• 2:22:51
  Speaker 3: there was often a discussion among the disciples concerning rank
• 2:22:55
  Speaker 3: among them, some more fearful that they would be last.
• 2:23:00
  Speaker 3: One day, a mother, very proud of her two sons,
• 2:23:03
  Speaker 3: as mothers are apt to be, asked Jesus to grant
• 2:23:07
  Speaker 3: permission that her two sons might sit the one on
• 2:23:11
  Speaker 3: his left hand, the other on his right. In the kingdom,
• 2:23:15
  Speaker 3: then he made a very beautiful, as well as perfectly
• 2:23:18
  Speaker 3: true statement, whosoever will be chief among you, let him
• 2:23:23
  Speaker 3: be your servant. Even as the son of Man came,
• 2:23:27
  Speaker 3: not to be ministered unto, but too minister, and to
• 2:23:30
  Speaker 3: give his life a ransom for many. There was another
• 2:23:35
  Speaker 3: time when Jesus sat at supper with his disciples, wishing
• 2:23:39
  Speaker 3: to show them by example the utter worthlessness of station
• 2:23:45
  Speaker 3: for station's sake, rose from the table, took a towel
• 2:23:49
  Speaker 3: and basin, and began to wash the disciple's feet. Peter objected,
• 2:23:54
  Speaker 3: but when he understood, he said, not my feet only,
• 2:23:58
  Speaker 3: but also my hands and my head. At the last
• 2:24:02
  Speaker 3: Jesus said, verily, I say unto you, the servant is
• 2:24:07
  Speaker 3: not greater than his lord, neither he that is sent
• 2:24:11
  Speaker 3: greater than he that sent him. Girls and boys, if
• 2:24:16
  Speaker 3: you desire a high place in life, begin low. If
• 2:24:20
  Speaker 3: you want to occupy a leading place, you must be
• 2:24:23
  Speaker 3: willing to serve in the least. It always has been
• 2:24:27
  Speaker 3: so it will never change. This great law of life,
• 2:24:31
  Speaker 3: that he who would be first must be willing to
• 2:24:34
  Speaker 3: be last. It is the eternal law of service memory
• 2:24:40
  Speaker 3: Verse mark, Chapter ten, verse thirty one. But many that
• 2:24:44
  Speaker 3: are first shall be last, and the last first memory
• 2:24:50
