Inside this issue:

I read something I’d like to share with you.

TEN little Christians standing in line. One disliked the

preacher, then there were nine.

NINE little Christians stayed up very late. One over-

slept Sunday, then there were eight.

EIGHT little Christians on their way to heaven. One

took the low road, then there were seven.

SEVEN little Christians chirping like chicks. One dis-

liked the music, then there were six.

SIX little Christians seemed very much alive, but one lost his interest, then there

were five.

FIVE little Christians pulling for heaven’s shore, but one stopped to rest, then there

were four.

FOUR little Christians, each busy as a bee. One got his feelings hurt, then there

were three.

THREE little Christians knew not what to do. One joined the sporty crowd, then

there were two.

TWO little Christians, our rhyme is nearly done, differed with each other, then

there was one.

ONE little Christian can’t do much ‘tis true, brought his friend to Bible study, then

there were two.

TWO earnest Christians, each won one more. That doubled the number, then

there were four.

FOUR sincere Christians, worked early and late. Each won another, then there

were eight.

EIGHT splendid Christians if they doubled as before, in just seven Sundays, we’d

have 1,024 !!

I WAS JUST THINKING …

March, 2010 Morris Cook, Pastor

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Romans 12:2

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not de-light in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, al-

ways hopes, always perseveres.
