If I could borrow Jacob's
ladder and climb up to heaven, and could see Gabriel there and ask him
to tell me how much God loves me, he would only say, "God so loved the
world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in
Him should not perish; but have everlasting life." How a man can go out
of this tabernacle after hearing this text, saying, "God does not love
me," is a mystery to me.
Love's Triumph in John Wannamaker's Sunday School.
Mr. John Wannamaker, superintendent of probably one of the largest
Sunday schools in the world, had a theory that he would never put a boy
out of his school for bad conduct. He argued if a boy misbehaved
himself, it was through bad training at home, and that if he put him out
of the school no one would take care of him. Well, this theory was put
to the test one day. A teacher came to him and said, "I've got a boy in
my class that must be taken out; he breaks the rules continually, he
swears and uses obscene language, and I cannot do anything with him."
Mr. Wannamaker did not care about putting the boy out, so he sent the
teacher back to his class. But he came again and said that unless the
boy was taken from his class, he must leave it. Well, he left, and a
second teacher was appointed.
