A bank made in the shape of a
lighthouse can be purchased from
David C. Cook Publishing Co., El
gin, Illinois, for $2.50. Used in con-
nection with small Bible classes,
it becomes a regular object lesson
in giving. Each time a coin is in-
serted, a flashlight bulb actually
flashes on. It was reported by one
teacher who used the bank that
giving became a most fascinating
nine and the child who had the
Diost coins was the most popular.
This was used in a pre-school class I

identified and one restored at the i Majestic.
,i is the duty of each congrega
ion to reach out and evaugelizt
very possible soul. There is t
,plen<Jid opportunity to develop
young people while discharging otii
.esponsibility by sending them ou\
<.,> outlet up a congregation in x.
nceoed locality (naturally unde,
supervision of the elders).
Most large congregations tha\
are thriving today were originally
small mission points started by
someone. If each congregation of

gregation each year, soon the en-
tire world would know about the
