FROM THE MINISTER'S STIIO,
by
REV. W.N.McWHINNIE
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
I wonder if you know that
the Bible mentions the word
"boy" only three times; the
word "girl" only twice; and
the word, "lass," not at all.
The word "lad," however,
occurs 34 times, and the word
"child" about 180 times. We
read of a proper child, and
pleasant child, a sleeping
child, a child that.sneezed, a
,child that was vyeaned, a child
tha:t cried, a poor child, a wise
an,enly child, a growing
child; a sick child,'ancl'a child
that'vvas healed.
We read of a child whose
mother Was warned not to
- drink wine or strong drink,
and we read of men Who were
warned not to sin against a
child. We read, too, of a poor
child who was adopted by a.
princess;'and of a child whose
parellts prayed for guidance
as to how best to train the boy
committed to -their care. ,And
we read of a child who had a
•severe headache, and who
was carried, to, his- tnother,
because the father felt that at
such a time a boy's best
friend is his mother.
It would seem that the child
of long ago, was pretty much
like the childof our day.
There are to be found still,
the goodly child, the • child
that complains of a hea4clache
on a hot day, the thi1d,that
cries, the child that is
adopted', the 'only child, the
growing child, the child that
loves Bible stories, the
(sometimes) naughty child,
and even the child that
sneezes seven times.
As to the naughty child.
Solomon has this to,, say:
"Leave -not your chilun-
punished; if you whip him,
you save him from death. You
must whip him with the rod,
and so preserve his life."
When a certain father
reminded his son of that, the
boy replied, "But he never
said. that until he was growed
up!" .1 can't forgertlfat- a
famous schoolmaster, when
asked what he would do in the
case of an unruly boy, said:
"I'd thrash the
text: "The child Samuel
ministered unto the Lord
before Eli." It is not: "The
child Samuel ministered unto.
Eli before the Lord."
1 like the story of the man
who applied for •a job in a
'factory. The foreMan told
him that lie had scarcely
enough work for the men
already employed. "0," said
the mark., "the bit of work that
I would do wouldn't make any
difference," The child
Samuel served the ,Lord, and,
therefore, there would not be
slacking, .• or shoddy Work.
There would be the best, and
only tile best.
And I must certainly find
room for these words: O
"And Jesus called a litt
child unto Him." He is doing
that today. "And Jesus took a
child, and set him in the midst
of them, and when He had
taken hirn in His arms, He
said unto them, whosoever
shall receive one of such
chi4dren in my name
receiveth Me, and whosoever
shall receive Me, ceivetha'
not Me, but Him that sent
me."

• well or ill." "'Ven a child!"
What he means, I think, is:
.-Altholfgh a child is so little,
you can tell what kind of a
man or woman he or. she will
grow up to be,"
• You can tell a tree by its
fruit. And if you are good
gardener, you can tell a tree
by its leaf, and by its bark,
and even by its seed. I once
asked'a boyof four years of
age what he was going to be
when he grew 'up. .1 -Ie con-
sidered a moment, then,
straightening himself, he
looked tib at mQ, as if he
- would say: "What a silly
,,question!" Then he -an-
swered--"A man, I sup"pose!"
That once small boy, is now a
, man. I can see clearly in him
today what I faintly saw in
him in the long ago. Word-
sworth is right when he sayS
that the child is father of the
Man.
A woman fell into a river in
Italy. Of all the men standing
around not one tried to save
her; A little fellow sprang in
and held the woman up until
help came. That boy Was
young Garibaldi.
A famous oil painter
.
watched a boy painting, and
then said: "That tad will
surpass me one•day," He did,
for he was Michael Angelo,
Sokeep an eye on your
early doings, boys, as the
Irish doctor said to the man
who had a boil on the back of
his neck. "Keep an eye on it!"
