“Looks like a great big box of nothing from here. You say it’s
Faith,. Daddy? And we thought it was going to be a present!”
It is a present—the finest you can give—the one legacy every
parent can provide on one dollar a year or a million.
Thefaith of children once founded is lasting and hard to shake.
The other things you can give them are all to the good. But
even the most carefully planned annuities and insurance are not
designed for drying a tear ... for strengthening faint hearts ... for
bolstering principles which all the world seems determined to crack.
Worship with them this week at your'church or synagogue.
Give them a faith to live by—that priceless “nothing” which can
never be seen, never be touched .. . and never be taken away.
