Divine Faithfulness

Now, seeing this is the night for the youth, I'm going to approach my own little talk mathematically.

You see, during my own time in the secondary school, we were still under the British and they had a law It doesn't matter how good you are in all subjects.

If you fail in English, you fail in all.

In other words, you can get A in mathematics, A in physics, A in chemistry, A in biology.

If you fail in English, you still fail.

And I wasn't good in English.

I was good in all the other subjects.

How am I going to allow English to fail me? So I thought I would do something.

And in those days, in our days, seniority counted very much.

I mean, if you are in what we call class 1 or class 2, I think you call it form now, form 1, form 2.

We call this class in those days.

If you are in class 1 and you go to class 3 and you go in without permission, your senior can ask you to kneel down or bend low or teachers will come to the class and see you doing that and they will do nothing.

Because seniority counted.

And there was somebody in the school.

He was my junior.

Junior.

But I think he was born in England.

So he knew English very well.

So I called him aside.

You are going to teach me English.

You understand? He said, yes.

Anytime I have money, I will buy you granite.

Granite.

But if you tell anybody that you are the one teaching me English, you'll be in trouble.

Funny that you are a senior.
