THE CONTINUATION OF THE TESTIMONY – EXTRACT

A simple incident happened in England, after a father and mother had taken two of their little boys to a fellowship meeting, at which the subject of the meeting had been the continuance of the testimony. The mother had put the little boys to bed, and as she left the room she heard the younger one, Jim, ask his brother, What did the brethren mean by the continuance of the testimony? The answer was, Well, it is just like this: in our meeting we have two old brothers, they are very old, and the Lord is soon going to take them home, and then father and mother will carry on; and in years to come, if the Lord leaves us down here, He will take them home, and then you and I will carry on.

I would like to appeal to the young ones. If the Lord tarries, many of the aged brethren will soon be taken home, and the call is to the next generation, to rise up and serve in holy dignity in the house of God. The service of God is to be carried on in undiminished power. I would like even the children to catch the spirit of that little boy who said, You and I will carry on.
