Singing for Children
The children in our Bible schools are the
church of t< morrow. What do we want that
church to be’ We want it to be a spiritual
body that will worship God as He has com-
manded Wha* did He say about our singing
in our worship? We are to worship Him in
our singing as we make melody in our hearts
unto Him.
If we do this we get the spiritual uplift
that Ho intended we should and that He knows
wo need Seme songs have no melody. What is
melodv? It is a song with a tune that has
taste. The dictionary says a melody is an agree-
able succession of musical tones. A good song
will have the right relationship between words
and music. The thought being most important
and the music aiding or enhancing the thought.
We are to sing with the spirit and with the
understanding also. Suppose the song is “jaz-
zy” and has no spiritual value at all These
songs rise as high as our heads and they onlv
satisfy the flesh. Can we worship in spirit and
in truth with such songs’ Too many songs of
this tvpe are being used in the brotherhood
now We like the things we know and are ac-
customed to. Let us give our cildren songs that
will help them to grow spiritually as thev
crow to the age of obedience to their Lord
It will also boln them to love the worship hour
all their days. Let us think about the condition
in manv places regarding our song service.
Someone told me that when they let the
children choose the songs they alwavs choose
the good ones. A child ordinarily has good
taste and enjoys the best.
Remember what the Bible says about little
children They can be our example in all good
things. The children we are thinking especially
about today are those in the first years of
school. On their teacher in the public school
and also in Bible school, a real opportunity

We can say this of parents, too. Shall we pull
