A four-year-old and a six-year-old presented their

Mom with a house plant. They had used their own

money and she was thrilled. The older of them said
with a sad face, "There was a bouquet that we want-
ed to give you at the flower shop. It was real pretty,
but it was too expensive. It had a ribbon on it that
said, 'Rest In Peace,' and we thought it would be just perfect
since you are always asking for a little peace so that you can
rest."
Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right
paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in
their own hands. (Anne Frank)

I cannot tell how much I owe to the prayers of my good

mother. I remember her once praying, "Now Lord, if my chil-
dren go on in sin it will not be from ignorance that they per-
ish, and my soul must bear swift witness against them at the
day of judgment if they lay not hold on Christ and claim Him
as their personal Savior."

This Wednesday evening we will be showing the

Conclusion of Dr. Phillips teaching on “Egypt,
The Middle East & The Last Days.”
Don’t miss it!
