PASTOR'S PEN
MESSAGE TO THE YOUTH:
What is your name? Not the pet name your
mother or father calls you, that's just for
the home. Not your nick-name, although it
often tells, in away, something about you.
If you are thin, you are "Skinny" or "Slim,"
if you are fat, you are "Fatty," or if you
are both fat and greedy you are called
"Piggy", if you pry into what is no concern
of yours, you are "Nosey. " Ifyouarea real
good student, then you are "Bright," if you
are a good runner you are called "Speedy, "
if a girl is sly and disagreeable, she is
called "Catty," behind her back!
What is your Christian name? You know
the Puritans often called their daughters
Faith, Hope, Charity, or something like
that. They are good names. I even know a
modern girl who has the beautiful name of
"Carry Comfort. " Some girls are named
after flowers, Rose, Violet, Pansy, Daisy,
and other lovely flower names. Then there
are the fine old Bible names of Ruth,
Mirian, Anna, Martha and Mary for girls,
and Paul, John, Luke, Timothy for boys.
We do not call any boy Jesus bacause that
name must be kept for out Lord alone, it
is too sacred for common use.
What is your last name? It may be ±3lack,
White, Green, Blue or some other color,
or it might mean some personal quality of
an ancestor such as Arm-strong, Swift,
Slow, Good or even Virtue.
If you were a Japanese girl, you might
have such a lovely name as Heart's Delight
Peach Biossom, Sunshine, or Cherry Blos
som. If you were an Indian boy you might be
called, Sitting Bull, White Horse, Rain in
the Face, or Wolf, justbecause your father
saw one of these animals at your birth, or
because the rain fell on his face at the time
of your birth.
But when the angel asked Jacob "What is
your name?" and Jacob told him, itbrought
out the character of Jacob at once, his
name meant supplanter or trickster, and
that was what Jacob had been, but the angel
told Jacob he was to have a new name
"Israel" because he had become a newkind
of man. "Israel" means "Prince. " Jacob
had developed new and finer qualities. The
old "Trickster" was gone, and a new
"Prince" who was brave, honorable, high
minded and noble had taken his place.
Would you wish people to call you by a
name which told just what you are? Maybe
Lazy, Not-Always-Truthful, Unkind, Bad-
Tempered or something like that? I don't
think so. Then you better change your dis
position and character thru prayer to God
as Jacob did. You can get a lovely inner
name like Jacob did, that means Industrious,
Truthful, Kind, Good-Tempered, Truly
Christian, or something like that if you
want to. Think this over.
