; 0200 22323 HAVE you ever thought how many people you must


have influenced in the years granted you? Whether we realise it or not, we influence someone’s life daily. How? A smile can cheer and convey encouragement. A sneer can wound and hurt. A refusal to co-operate can hinder. A word of sympathetic understanding could be very helpful and encouraging to a soul con­ scious of considerable stress. If we are cheerful and amiable, we could help


someone’s day along. On the other hand, if we are grumpy, bad tempered and unsympathetic, we could spoil someone’s day. School teachers are in a special position to influence


young people’s lives from primary scholars to teen­ agers. They must make quite an impression on some of the hundreds of children in their early years. Sunday School teachers are able to influence quite


a lot of children in their time at junior church. I know that some of them wonder, at times, if they have helped their weekly listeners. I should like to assure them that, in later years, things said and done by

days when you thought you were not doing so well. I find that God has blessed our feeble efforts enough for us to make a second impression on the minds of people our listeners meet later in their lives. We never know how far what we say or do can


travel. We can make a remark or tell a story that sticks in the mind of someone and, because of this


seed thought we have planted, our hearer may write


a book or an article which will be read by thousands of people. Almost subconsciously, we could set up a chain reaction which has far-reaching effects, so it is very important that we see to it that our influence is for good.
