Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Duty of Interesting Children in the Missionary Cause, and How This Is to Be Done
W]; read in Matthew xxi. 15, 16, And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosannah to the Son of David; they were sore displeased, And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus said unto them, Yea, have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise? Again, in the book of Acts, ii. 17, 18, it is said, And it shall come to pass in the last days, (saith God, ) I will pour out of my Spirit upon all ?esh and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: and on my servants and on my hand.maidens, I will pour out in those days of my Spirit: and they 'shall prophesy. Both these passages are descriptive of the nature, extent, and enlargement of the christian church. In its nature it is spiritual; in its extent it includes both Gentile and Jew; and for its enlargement there is to be the co-operation and the consecrated efforts of both young and old.
