SOME one has said, "He who saves the children, saves the church." A missionary said to me recently, "If the children are well taught and trained, it will mean more than if we should spend all our time with their parents."
We have had special classes for the children each week, teaching them new songs, Bible stories, etc. Occasionally they render a program incorporating what they have learned.
In one picture on these pages you will notice a little girl with a book in her hand. She won this by repeating Matt. 5: 1-12 perfectly. No child could be happier than she was when she received the Testament, and she expressed a desire to follow Jesus.
The children with the letters "P O R-T O R I C O" are from the Moco church. They gave an interesting program last summer. The children learn quickly, and it is a pleasure to work for them. They become very dear to us.
One noted writer has said: "If we work upon marble, it will perish; if we work upon stone, it will crumble to dust; but if we take a child and train it well, we carve a monument which time can never efface."
