and the reverence it inspires for godly women, they would never cut their hair."  

Keep Your Child Busy - Dr. Jack Hyles from "How to Rear Children" "The parent should see to it that the child is very busy. Somebody has said that the 
only men free from bad habits were those whose paths kept them so everlastingly busy that they never had any time to go loafing. The parent should help create 
hobbies that will tend to fill the idle hours as well as keep boys and girls apart much of the time. Seize every opportunity to use a child's interests toward a proper 
hobby. 

Along this line it is wise for a child not to develop hobbies that are quiet and cause him to be alone. Too many housrs of listening to stereo music is not good. Too 
many hours of playing alone is not good. Hours spent behind locked doors are dangerous. Outdoor games are better than indoor games. Active games are better 
than quiet games. Group games are better than games played alone. 

The child should not be allowed to attend Hollywood movies or read questionable literature. Plenty of good literature should be provided, especially novels of 
adventure, heroic action, etc."  

The Negro Boy's Surprise - The Sunday School Times "At a slave market in one of the Southern states, a smart, active colored boy was put up for sale. A kind 
master who pitied his condition, wishing him not to have a cruel owner, went up to him, and said, 'If I buy you, will you be honest?' The boy, with a baffled 
expression, replied, 'I will be honest whether you buy me or not."  

I Stayed in the Girl's Dormitory - Dr. Jack Hyles from "Favorite Soul-Winning Experiences" "Once I spoke at a Bible Institute in Georgia. When I arrived 
at the college, I was taken to my room. Was I surprised to find that I was staying in the girls' dormitory! Yes, you got it right the girls' dormitory. This was enough of 
a shock, but that wasn't all. I stayed in the back corner of the girls' dormitory, which meant that I had to walk past all of the rooms and through a big parlor to get to 
my room. In the parlor there were sofas, pianos, etc. where the girls would lounge. Hence, when I entered the dormitory I had to cry loudly, 'THERE'S A MAN IN 
THE HOUSE!' Then the girls would scamper, each to her own room, peeking out the door to be sure I was safely tucked away in my own room beofre they came 
out again. What embarrassment! Can you imagine coming in after a service at night, hollering loudly, 'There's a man in the house!' and then walking awkwardly past 
the dormitory doors and down the parlor to your room! 

We had a wonderful conference. On the closing night I spoke on a burden for lost sinners. After a wonderful service and a time of fellowship around the altar with 
many of the people, I returned to my room. For the last time I was to walk into the dormitory, holler loudly, 'There's a man in the house!' and timidly walk down the 
middle of that parlor that seemed to be a four-lane highway down the middle of Main Street. 

To my surprise however, all the girls were waiting for me at the door. I immediately thought perhaps they were giving me a little farewell party. Then I noticed that 
each girl had her housecoat on, her hair rolled up, and the usual 'junk' on her face. Can you feature how I felt when I walked in the dormitory to find all those girls 
waiting for me in such a condition? (I guess I felt like Solomon when he came home at night!) 

When I inquired as to the purpose of their waiting up for me, they all began to praise the Lord with tears running down their cheeks, telling me of some wonderful 
things that had happened. Several of them had gotten so burdened for their loved ones that they had come back to the dorm and made long-distanced calls to them. 
Several loved ones had been saved over the telephone. What a tremendous revival we had as we rejoiced over the salvation of mothers and fathers! 

One girl had called long distance to Pennsylvania and with a sobbing voice she won her daddy to the Lord Jesus Christ. 

Winning folks on the telephone is not really a new thing with many soul winners. It has been my joy to win several people to Christ over the telephone. Just a few 
months ago, after our evening service, a young man was so under conviction that he called me and said that he had to get saved immediately. I told him over the 
phone how to get saved. I prayed with him; he prayed the 'sinner's prayer' and was sweetly converted over the telephone. The next Sunday morning he came 
forward and was baptized. 

There is a fine lady in our church now whom I led to Christ over the telephone a few years ago. This is just another way of winning souls for the Lord Jesus Christ. 

As I left the Bible Institute I was made to rejoice that I had stayed in the girl's dormitory. My awkward walk and timid crying of 'There's a man in the house!' became 
worth it all as many of the girls had become telephone soul winners."  

Women make Lousy Leaders - Rev. John R. Rice from "Bobbed Hair, Bossy Wives, and Women Preachers" "God made woman after such a fashion 
that she should be a comfortable and obedient helpmeet, a mate who would fit to his will and plans. so, in the nature of the case, women are not as well fitted for 
executive authority. If women are more easily led, they are not as good leaders. Every pastor knows that women are easier to enlist in good work. But careful 
observers must admit that women are also easier led into false doctrines and into errors of various kinds."  

Keeping Children Pure - Rev. Jack Hyles from "How to Rear Children" "A child should be taught to be disciplined in his eating habits. If leaving off 
stimulating food such as sauces, highly seasoned food, and other foods hard to digest does nothing else, it at least teaches the child to say 'no' to the appetites of the 
body. This discipline can be transferred to the temptation of immorality and misbehavior toward the opposite sex. One discipline leads to another. Proper clothing 
should be worn. Tight clothing should be discouraged. Clothing that needlessly irritates the body should not be worn. clothing that exposes too much of the body 
should be avoided."  

News On Christian Amusement Park - Rev. D. Johnston from United Press International "In building our Christian Amusement Park, we will provide a 
ministry to the saved. Unsaved people will not be welcome in the park, they will not feel comfortable there. People that are not Christians will not be allowed to enter 
the park. We will make the park the envy of all secular amusement parks, worldwide. Since it is to be built outside of New York City, we will be allowing Hispanic 
Christians into some sections of the park. Once again, the park is going to be just like Heaven. Unsaved people will be turned away at the gate."  

Modern Woman - Rev. John R. Rice from "Bobbed Hair, Bossy Wives, and Women Preachers" "The modern woman wonders why she must chase a 
beau down as her mother never did. The modern woman wonders why men do not rise up on the streetcar to give her a seat. The modern woman wonders why 
some men feel so free to curse in her presence, and to use language that no respectable woman of the past generation ever heard. Yes, the modern, masculine, 
pants-wearing, cigarette-smoking, bobbed haired woman has fallen from her pedestal. She is not reverenced by men as her beautiful and modest mother was. 

These days men have come to feel that if a woman will not fill a woman's place, she shall not have a woman's protection and respect and reverence. Men desert their 
wives as never before in the world. Very few men nowadays feel reverently about a woman's body. Boys who have dates with these bobbed-haired, smoking, 
strong-willed, modern girls, expect to kiss them and fondle them as they please, or to kick them out of the car to walk home. The man who marries a modern woman 
these days marries a woman who expects to vote like a man, smoke like a man, have her hair cut like a man, and go without restrictions and without chaperons and 
obey nobody. A man who marries such a woman, I say does not expect to support her. The modern girl is often expected to work and help make a living."  

Dear Lord, Kill This Man - Rev. Jack Hyles from "Favorite Soul Winning Experiences"  "Occasionally in soul winning the startling is necessary. One day while visiting on the north side of Hammond, I was having an especially good time winning souls. (In fact, I won twelve that day.) Toward the end of the day my faith was increased, and I was greatly encouraged when I came to a house where the man began to 
knock at Christianity. He said he didn't have any time for that 'junk' and that he had no confidence in my religion. 

Though I would not advise this for a regular practice, I said, "Well, if I am a fake, then so is my religion. Let's find out. I am going to bow my head and pray for God 
to kill you," whereupon I bowed my head to pray and called his bluff. 

As I began to pray for God to kill the man (I don't know whether this is good theology or even good ethics, but I did it!), I felt a tap on the elbow and heard him say, 
'Hey, reverend, don't pray that!' I just kept right on prayin' something like this: 

'Dear God, help him to get saved now or kill him' 

Again he taped my elbow and said, 'Reverend, I am ready to get saved now!' This he did, and he had, I think, a wonderful experience of salvation. 

One of my assistants was out visiting recently and had an urge to pray similarly. (Maybe he had been running with me too much!) His faith was not quite as big as the 
faith of his boss, or perhaps he was more sane than the boss; but he prayed for God to break a man's leg because the man seemed to be antagonistic toward God. 

A few days later the man called the church to tell my assisstant that there must be something to this Christianity after all because he had broken an arm! Now he was 
ready to talk business. 

Now I am not sure why it was an arm instead of a leg, but I am sure there is something to the Christianity business. There is something to this soul-winning business 
too. Would to God we had some Christians who had the guts to do it regularly!"
