* One startling bit of research conducted by the Christian

Business Men's Committee found the following: When the


father is an active believer, there is about a seventy-five
percent likelihood that the children will also become ac-
tive believers. But if only the mother is a believer, this
likelihood is dramatically reduced to fifteen percent.

* J. Wilbur Chapman, perhaps the finest evangelist the Presbyterian


church has known, once told in a message that he had just heard of a
father who came into the bedroom where his young son lay dying. The
boy had been ill for so long that his body was badly wasted. It was
painful for him even to lie on the bed. As the father entered, the boy
said, "Daddy, lift me up for a moment." The father put his hands under
the emaciated body and raised his son just a little off the bed. "Lift me
higher," he said, "Daddy, lift me higher." The father lifted him up until
he held him above his head. When he took him down, the boy was
dead. It would seem as if that father had actually lifted his son into the
very arms of Christ. When Dr. Chapman concluded the service, a man
came up to him with tears in his eyes and said, "Dr. Chapman, it hap-
pened just as you said. I went into his room. My minister was with me,
I lifted him up, and his weak voice came back to me in whispers saying,
"Higher, Daddy, higher." When I took him down, he had gone. But, sir,
I had lifted him into the arms of Christ long before, for when he was a
very small boy I taught him of a Savior's love, and told him what it
means to be a Christian."
