THE three boys in our picture today are filled with amusement at something they see, and perhaps are bent on mischief and they are bright looking boys, too. They have ears to hear, and eyes to see, and souls to save, yet their thoughts appear to be far away from the One who has given them hearing and eyesight.
How very sorry we feel for the careless and indifferent boys, —those who have not had the advantages that many of you boys and girls have had. They have not had Christian parents to point them to the Lord Jesus Christ; have not been brought to Sunday-school to hear of His love.
How we long to get the clear boys, who spend their time on the streets, to the Sunday-school.
Will you not assist, dear ones, in trying to get them to come where God’s Word is read, looking to God to bless it to their souls?
Soon these ears and eyes may be closed for ever against earthly sounds and sights, but they will open again,
The voice of judgment will penetrate the ear that was deaf to the message of mercy.
Let the ears of the unsaved, now hear His word,
Let the eye of faith look unto the crucified One, and be saved!
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto life.” John 5:2424Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. (John 5:24).
