Well the time is most here
for our protracted meetings to

summer. Now the Lord has
something for every one of his
children to do and we ought to
do it let it be much or little.
Young Christians what are you
going to do this summer? Are
you going to do what the Lord
requires of you? I think you
will for I know you can see plain
ly that the Lords needs you in
his service at the present time.
You can’t tell what great good
you might do in causing others
to be saved if you would do your
duty Let nothing get in your way
this summer to keep you from
enjoying religion, but do some
thing for the Lord and he will
wonderfully bless you.
