RA HYMN
The RA Hymn (“THE KINGS BUSINESS”) 1. I am a stranger here, within a foreign land, My home is far away, upon a golden strand, Ambassadors to be of realms beyond the sea, I’m here on business for my king. CHORUS This is the message that I bring, A message angels fain would sing; “oh, be ye reconciled,” thus saith my lord and king, “oh, be ye reconciled to God.” 2. This is the king’s command that all men everywhere Repent and turn away from sin’s seductive snare; That all who will be obey, with him shall reign for aye, And that’s my business for my king. 3. My home is brighter far than sharon’s rosy plain, Eternal life and joy throught its vast domain; My sovereign bids me tell how mortals there may dwell, And that’s my business for my king. E.T. CASSEL

The Worth of a Boy what would you say is the worth of a boy; in sin and sorrow, in service and joy; so much good and bad wrapped up in each life; to build up and serve or tear down in strife. A mine of diamonds, a bomb to destroy ? Depends entirely on who gets the boy? The devil, the world, and flesh make their bid: But what will your church do to win this “kid?” Some men have hobbies in which they invest Much time and money with real zeal and zest. But those who fathom life’s great thrills and joys Major on making real men out of boys. ORVIL W. REID. Southeren Baptist Missionary to Mexico
