Maybe it’s because he seems so out of proportion. If be some how were able to flap those ears he might fly away. Perhaps there is a little fellow in your home who is “all ears” in another sense ... a youngster who takes in everything that’s said, including some things he isn’t meant to hear. Most children are eager to listen . . . hungry to learn. That is why the early years are so impor tant in the molding of a child’s character. The things he hears, whether right or wrong, make a deep impression on his mind. They are soon reflected in his actions and words. Wise parents take advantage of the Church’s pro gram of religious education in implanting those early impressions. They know there is no surer builder of character than religious faith. NOW . . . while your child is eager to hear and to learn, bring him to church . . . and support the Church in its great undertaking. Copyright 1959, Keister Adv. Service, Stresburg, Va. a. THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . . ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church is ihe grcalcsl factor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church. They are: (I) For his own sake. (2) For his children’s sake. (3) for the sake of his community and nation. (M) For the sake of the Church itstif, which needs his moral and material - support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily.
