“Tell me the old, old story,
Of
unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory,
Of
Jesus and His love;
Tell me the story simply,
As
to a little child,
For I am weak and
weary,
And
helpless and defiled.”
So
sang Kate Hankey many, many years ago, and in these modern times multitudes of
parents and teachers join her in her prayer for simplicity.
Knowledge
has increased. Scientists have discovered astounding intricate laws of nature.
But all too often these fascinating secrets have been couched in such technical
language that we common folk have seen but dimly beyond the high-sounding
words, and have therefore been robbed of the help and benefit that should have
been ours.
