Good afternoon. I am Alan Watkins with the “Message of Hope” form the Grant Street Church of Christ.

What is the poet writing about?

Young folks choose it,
Don’t refuse it,
Tis a precious diadem;
Highly prize it,
Ne’er despise it;
You will need it when you’re men.
Love and cherish,
Keep and nourish,
Tis more precious far than gold;
Watch and guard it,
Ne’er discard it,
You will need it when you’re old.

God put it this way, “a good name is rather to be chosen than great riches.” Proverbs 22:1
