Young people are constantly told to beware of the wiles of the devil who goes about like a roaring lion. Well, at first glance one would retort, of course we would be afraid of a lion that is roaring. I think, though, that the word, roaring, is but an adjective that belongs to that certain […]
Dear Grandchildren: It has been quite a while since you heard from me, but since that time I have been hearing some good things about you. That pleases me to no end because I have been reading in the newspapers and seeing on the T.V. news some awful things about other young people. And because […]
All of you have friends, I know, but some may have but one close friend, and have many just-plain-friendly friends.

Dear Grandchildren: All people are creatures of habit, and that, of course, includes you boys and girls. What does that mean? Well, the way you always tie your shoe laces is a habit. When you first had to learn that tricky task you were shown how. Then you tried it, and tried it a second […]

Dear Grandchildren, You are grand in my opinion because you have grand abilities; you busy yourselves in grand activities, and are given a grand place in the Church of God. Do you realize how important you are in God’s plan of salvation? Imagine for a minute: God chose you to be His child even before, […]
Dear Grandchildren: Once upon a time (that’s the way all stories begin) the town clerk went about the street calling out, “there is going to be a town meeting at the riverside at daybreak tomorrow’’. So, all the village menfolk and many inquisitive youngsters were out bright and early that morning. Each man was asking […]
Dear Grandchildren: You all have friends, and some of them are mutual (shared) friends. Your personal friend in Edmonton cannot be a mutual friend of one who lives in Redlands, unless that friendship was made while you were at your Convention. You all have enemies, and sometimes they might be mutual enemies. What I […]
