REMEMBER NOW THY CREATOR................................ I want to address a little message this morning to our young folks. You older folks are welcome to listen if you care to. If you arehere and feel that you have passed the flowerof your youth and that this doesn’t apply to you anymore, just bear in mind that you will not be any younger than you are right now. We have a nice group of young folks here, and if we wouldn’t consider our young people the exclusively greatest asset of the church, they are certainlyoneof the greatest assets of the church and I want to speak particularly to them this morning. I will read a lesson from Ecclesiastes, beginning at the 11th chapter and verse 7: “Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun: But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity. Rejoice, O young man, in thyyouth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: butknow thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment. Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity. Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain: In the day when the keepers ofthe house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look outof the windows be darkened, And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low; Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fearsshall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners goabout the streets: Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.” *
