I'm well aware that many of you gathered here today might have a general interest in this topic of church growth Some of you might have a more specific interest in Latin America There might be fewer people here that have serious intentions To do something about a ministry in Latin America and so though I was asked to speak on this subject this morning a spiritual vision for for Latin America I will be presenting some things that might be a bit more specialized or Detailed information for those who would really be interested in following These introductory thoughts and taking steps into that direction So if you have a notebook there, if you're writing some things down We would like to give you some things to consider that might help with that So a spiritual vision for Latin America that's interesting title because Latin America is perhaps a summarized way to refer to the Spanish and the Portuguese language and cultural influence in the Americas Of course, there were Native Americans Present when this European influx arrived These Indians as most people call them not the best word to use Were perhaps more Romanized than what they were Latinized Speaking of the religion that was imposed upon them that imposition was rather forcefully done the Spanish horse and Canon and musket Were fought much more powerful than Indian runners on foot and their Stone Age tools So the explorers and the conquerors from that Iberian Peninsula in Europe Did some novel bit of bartering in the new world Exchanging the Catholicism that they brought for the gold that they sought the effect of this early conquest can be keenly seen and felt even today America such Latin America is not mentioned in the Bible apart from the generic reference To every kindred and tongue and people in nation found several times in the book of Revelation interesting to note that Upon there were released their escape from prison Felix Mons, Conrad Grebel and George Blarock said Speaking to each other let's go to the red men across the sea That's not in the Bible, but it's an interesting part of early on about his history But the Apostle Paul Had a spiritual vision for the Latin people. I'm gonna read about that. You might have a Bible there I'm gonna reading verses 20 through 29 in Romans 15 This was his vision for the Latin people Yes, so I have strived to preach the gospel not work Christ his name lest I should build upon another man's foundation But as is written to whom he was not spoken of they shall see and they that have not heard shall understand Which calls also I have been much hindered from coming to you But now having no more place in these parts and having a great desire these many years to come on to you Once whoever I take my journey to Spain I will come to you for I trust to see you in my journey and to be brought on my way through the word by you If first I be somewhat filled with your company But now I go into Jerusalem to minister unto the saints for it has pleased them of Macedonia the Ki To make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem It has pleased them barely and Their debtors they are For the Gentiles have been made particulars of their spiritual things their duty is also to minister to them and carnal things When wherefore I perform this and have sealed this Sealed have sealed to them this fruit. I will come by you unto Spain But I'm sure that when I come unto you, I shall come in the fullness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ Paul carried in his heart as we read it here in these verses the into the next town's burden of Our Lord Jesus Now if you don't know what that means what I just said to you you'll find the answer for it mark chapter 1 You might turn there quickly I read here verses 35 through 38 the into the next town's vision of our Lord Jesus and in the morning Rise give a great while before day he went out and departed into a solitary place in their parade and Simon and they that were with him Followed after him and when they had found him they said unto him all men seek for thee and he said unto them Let us go into the next towns that I may preach there also for therefore and came my fourth So it's not just a matter of staying in one place and saying and saying and saying I remember when this brother Harold coffin there who was kind of a Pioneer missionary in Latin America down in Guatemala. He was an electrician by trade I heard him say one time that he Used to put a lot of light bulbs in a house when he wired a house, but he never put them all in the same room And so there's a matter of spreading this thing out You don't just do the same thing over and over again and say it to the same people and Attend the same service with the same ones and nothing ever happened Jesus said into the next town I will say this though. It's not my subject brother mark has this later on and you've heard introduction introduction to it already But if you've never had the privilege of giving the gospel message to someone who never heard it in their life It is a great joy that cannot be replaced by any other blessing To share the gospel someone who absolutely has never heard it and we have We have some like that Members of our congregation at home. It's a tremendous joy now not all the towns or peoples Have been reached in Latin America There's still pockets of the 1040 windows down there I remember I was sitting in a restaurant little soda there little restaurant little cafeteria in Cusco, Peru And it was there was a missionary there that I could a good bit of experience in among those Quechua Indians in Peru sitting there He told me something and there was a napkin there on the table. I pulled this napkin Out of its holder and took a pen on my pocket and started drawing a map as he was talking Giving us a 1040 window about the sides a little bit larger than the size of Cusco itself from Chalwonka to Cusco Dadaquipa a very large Area of the entities mountains completely on evangelized. I made it my mind I want to go in there visit that place see what that is like what is going on in there We had the privilege of doing that difficult to get in there We had a privilege of doing that these 1040 windows as you know refers to the Largest population in the world between the 10th and 40th degrees North parallel and in Asia You have a lot of countries a lot of people stuck in that area which are on evangelized That's called your 1040 window here In the missionology, but there's a 1040 window over the place and brother Ernest just told you a few moments ago that it might be a very very small 1040 window about two and a half miles from your house And there are places around the world in cities Whether just simply is not a gospel witness and that's what we referred to by as the 1040 window and There are places like that in Latin America. I don't know brother mark How many more places like that there might be in Costa Rica? I think I know of several places that would be that way now the unreached places And I'm not asking you we're not talking about a spiritual vision for Latin America Should you come down and buy a house beside brother mark in Chichagua? There'd be nothing wrong with doing that But I'd like to consider you and urge you today to think about the places where people have not heard the Jesus vision for the next Towns Paul's Burden to not build upon some of his foundation so the day that I'm not heard might hear as we've heard already in this introduction But I must tell you that young rich places are on reach for a good reason Young rich places are the hardest places to reach and we have things to face these days in Extending the church in the cultures like this that the apostle Paul never needed to worry about He never had anyone to stamp his passport. He never took a covid test to go anywhere And recently we tried to get into a country to get into the country We had to have two masks on our face and a plastic shield in front of that and then besides that you have to prove to somebody that you That that's something other your blood is not filled with mosquito bites and so you had to Verify everything we got all that done get into the country had a Perch that was just about a month and a half ago and preach there for a while was an outstanding time That was in Latin America by the way, but we have things to do face today that they didn't have then We travel one place another we have language difficulties, you know and in Latin America There are many many languages you might think if I knew Spanish or Portuguese I would have accessed a lot of people and you would But many of you on reached ones Do not speak either of those languages Or maybe very few of the people do I'm gonna tell you why some of the unreached places are hard to reach We're not going to master on Master on minors or major on minors here, but it's important thing to consider and I was yet to tell some stories along with this presentation And I'm afraid that that might have to wait until next year because I see that clock is doing its It's timely duty up there In some areas of the country some areas of the world is nearly impossible to enter close to new residents coming in or to foreigners only Temporary permission you get a 30-day visa or a 90-day visa at the most and Getting residency in a country these days is not as easy as it was 50 years ago 30 years ago and Some countries very very difficult to do and that includes Costa Rica So that makes it difficult Paul didn't face that another thing we have is Language barriers we talked about it. That would be bad enough Except to realize that for some of these languages that we should be reaching there is no translation No one has gone there to document To put a phonetic system together to try to decide some kind of an alphabet There's no Bible. Of course. There is no dictionary In our publishing house in Costa Rica. We had several brothers sitting there for a period of time then our Ministry there putting a dictionary together for them young Indian nation there in northern Nicaragua That would that would have been then if that was done and when that got done the first dictionary ever made in that language Spanish for many of these situations will be a bridge language to take you from English into a cultural tongue a native tongue And so you need to you know the Spanish or the Portuguese to be able to get into that But your target language is something else And so I would certainly urge you to do what you can to learn one of those languages Spanish or Portuguese While you're waiting for the opportunity to find your final location Another problem that you have with the unreached places why are they still unreached some of them are very very remote Difficult to reach difficult for many reasons And I've traveled I've walked for several days through jungles Before we made it back far enough to find the villages we were looking for Not everyone's willing to do that. I Remember one mission that told me as they found the location the country of Nicaragua. They said well brother They were very very happy for it. It's only 20 minutes away from the airport Thank you many other people made that decision too and probably churches all over the place in that location But there are places that you cannot get to that are only 20 minutes from the airport In places where there are no landing strips and so that that remote there are there are altitude problems You talk about South America you have mountains running the whole way down from through the Rockies and through the Santa Madre's of Mexico and to the Andes in South America. They run through Costa Rica toe Central America, but when you get down into the Andes for example is extremely high there and We have this altitude sickness. We said a missionary family in there They were there for three months trying to get the sick husband out of that place and they couldn't get him out They couldn't get him to safety. They couldn't get him to health because He's in this high valley The only way out is by land and you have to go up higher yet To get out of there before you start going down the other side And she knew he would die if they took her it took him any higher than it was So he was there for three months before they were able to get him out of there almost everyone the children that family died Everyone was extremely sick And then he came to me when he got back to America And I was up here visiting at that time. He said me brother Dale He said I'm very very sorry, but I don't think I don't think any Americans can ever live Where I where we have been And I talked to him for a while and that man turned his turn around took his family right back to the same place where he was That's why they're on rich places And then they're tropical jungles and they're in sex to no end and some people like snakes There are hard difficult places to reach That's one of the reasons why another reason is the hostility The brother referred to this with that young lady that a year ago Made some discoveries of light and truth that she didn't know before there's hostility in that nation She lives and there's some of that in Latin America, too These people just do not want to hear it They're not gonna have you there. You represent something different and the powers that be Be it in the church or in the community and the civil government are not gonna have that presence there and that these people need to hear And there are those who are willing to risk the comforts Risk the safety To bring the gospel to such places some tribal groups do not permit outsiders I was in a Local national tribe they have their tribal leaders are in tribal government. They're in tribal territory We were in there in a home by reading some rice to the man had a little portable radio sitting on his table The the announcing was going on that radio was in there in the tribal language and national language of that location And all of a sudden the man was sitting there. I couldn't understand what they were saying I know some words in that language but very few and I couldn't understand the conversation that was going on in that on that radio And this man became very stiff He said listen to that And there they were announcing from one of the towns outside toward the edge of this village Where the radio station was broadcasting that there were two strangers two foreigners into the community there And the people should look out for these two men and you get rid of them and get them out of here They cannot be in our territory. We are announcing and urging all of you Indians Get these two men out of here And I was one of those two and the other one was a brother of a young man sitting right here His name is Dwayne Nicely that man's name was Dwight Dwight that was Dwayne that was with me there So we had to get back out of there and several days to get back out And how we planned to do that There's hostility in some of these countries They don't want you in there They want to maintain their private And some of this is not because they're against religion some is because the fact that they are being abused They're being commercialized. They're being The resources are being expended They want to keep foreigners out because what They need for their tribe for their people for their food for their nation. They want to keep that Of course, there are other things that could happen in some of these unreached places There's paganism, of course in witchcraft. There's voodoo. There are all kinds of things to overcome Catholicism was not always easy to penetrate Liberal Catholicism is easier to work with We have a lot of that in Costa Rica. There's no doubt of that But none of these things that I mentioned are the main reason why they're unreached places If you're paying attention to me this morning, you should be asking yourself a question would brother tell us Then brother, they'll tell us If this what I gave you is not a long enough list and that's sufficient to help you understand why they're unreached places Then why did you say that's not the main reason? The main reason is sitting here It's not there. It's here. It's as simple as that That dedication that love that devotion that sacrifice that surrender. It's not only that I'll take a step further And now we should pause here. We should preach a sermon on that subject right there. We shouldn't let that go We shouldn't just bounce off of that That's not just a little bump on the road When you find two people willing to make that sacrifice two families Show me two families. They're willing to do it. They say yes, we'll do it. Send us we'll go I went family that we sent to latin america to a distant remote difficult place I was trying to find out if this couple was qualified if this young family was virtually Conditioned to take on this assignment So I gave them several tests And one of them was I told them I told the wife she was standing there She had her arm on the on her hand on the shoulder of her husband standing beside her I said I said mother. I can't promise you a house I don't even know if you if you will have an address The the mission that you did to do there the task that you're going to do it's going to be Going from place to place. I'm not real sure how permanent Your home is really going to be when you get started with this project She looked me and she said brother dale As long as he can be along with me I'm at home. That's all she said I'm sorry. I said I said you go. There's no reason to keep you here go. They're still there They're still doing it But when we have several families willing to take that risk and do that do to make those adjustments and sacrifices And they get there and have trouble with each other and fellowship breaks down Intentions begin to rise And you watch from a distance and see that the work is dissolving These are major reasons why There are still on reached areas You need to work on that as churches So I was sent a series of questions that I was supposed to answer in this session While I'm here Is there a need for more churches in latin america? How would you answer that brother mark? I've already answered that question really because there's still on reached areas in latin america And that's the case that there's a need for more churches There there are people groups in latin america that have not been discovered yet after I made one of my first return visits after coming back from the country of peru I was in coast week only a short time and I read in the newspaper that A new group a new tribal group was discovered in the amazon They had never run into white people before The group is very small. They had their own language different from all other tribal languages down there This was discovered that just was made that that's still to be done. There's still groups like that Are there more need for more churches in latin america? I don't need to say more about that There are two considerations You have cities 1040 communities that never heard the gospel at all And along with that there are many many communities with a large a lot much larger geography that never have had a program church witness And coast coast rica could still use more churches in that regard And there are cities And there are still countries in latin america where we don't have one congregation established in the country We have a group of brothers in our community right now who have been considering Beginning some work in panamol. We need to just tell me down there panamol is real close to coast rica We've done very virtually nothing there. There have been some exploratory trips. We've done very very little there There are many needs in venezuela these days. It's a very tough country, but the opportunities there are very great Be an excellent place to consider and we can go on with that That answers the question is there need for more churches there are And then they ask me How can we tell if there's a compo blanco? How can we tell if there's a field that's ready for harvest? How can we tell if there are people out there that? Need to be harvested How can we tell? Well, there's several things that can happen there sometimes you get requests from people themselves to come that doesn't happen very often That did happen in oral peru down there where lamp and light publishers out there in farmerton, new mexico Had sent a lot of bible correspondence courses down there and they found the geographic area where a lot of their People taking these courses were living in a certain area and this request kept coming So they sent four families down there from farmerton started the congregation there In the valley or al north of lima And It was amazing what that did That's how that congregation was started our quest was came from there When you look at the poverty and the privation that's going on in venezuelan right now that constitutes an outstanding field where people are well wealthy satisfied have what they want Everything is going well for them and a material thing the gospel does not penetrate there as jesus told done the baptist Two messengers have met him out there He said the poor of the gospel preached on to them the poor one at two That's why venezuelans end up on door these days The work that we've started among them young this happened a very usual way We had someone was traveling from a bus on a bus In nicaragua and sitting beside this my young ninja boy. He didn't know it then They started a conversation this boy could speak spanish, too They started a conversation through that resulted in this young man inviting The brother from our congregation To come back to his community and visit as you don't you don't get into those communities without invitation and so that invitation led to a series of events and That's how the work began among those people and so you remember the words of Abraham's servant who said that I was in the way and the lord led me that's it doesn't say it quite that same way in spanish But in your bible says that It is true and you heard it already this morning that the person who's not willing Not available not asking searching not thinking about it not praying about it not asking god The elderly to lead him to it that person does not find very many opportunities He has no idea what's going on. He lived all day all night all week the next five years And but very little consciousness there might be some other places things to do But there's others over here alongside of him someplace down the road who's on in the bedroom praying early in the morning He's running through Information he can find he picks up newsletters when they become available. He is searching this thing out Those people will find out if there's a call coming from a field before others will and so again We're in one of those two categories all of us here this morning I remember jack kyle said many years ago. This was over 50 years ago. He said this he's not living anymore.   Well, that has been briefly answered and I won't say much more about that There's probably no such thing as a steady stream of requests coming for a pilgrim church plant In any particular place in latin america probably not but several things do happen You know if a church is over here And they have there's there's there's some members there and they've got family over there and over there and over there And that that family extension sometimes provides an opportunity and a request That has happened to us. It's happening in Costa Rica. It happens in other places With things like mzo out there before you got there spanish school curriculum already on the field lamp of light bible Correspondence courses the torture delivered on in some of those areas that has opened the door For opportunities And so the thing to do there is being touched with some of those public inch houses and some of those Groups and committees of people that are sponsoring these works To find some more information about that Letters that might come in request that might come Request coming interesting ways like this too In Costa Rica one day a father of five children came to see me said brother Dale. We have uh, they called me brother Dale I'm just simply hand you down there He said, I don't know what's wrong. I don't know But I I I beg ask you this could you come to our house and talk to my family? So I went to I didn't have any idea what to expect His wife is kind of a drama of the town there. She's kind of a you know A little bit prissy and a little bit up and up and she should have had a little bit more Material on her skirt that what she had she went out to the kitchen and got a towel And put it over her lap as we sat there in her living room This man who is not Not much more religious than Rudolph the red does reindeer Said to his children This man's going to tell you something as you need to hear you listen And he never never did tell me what he came for and what it was his trouble was he had marriage trouble The family was not doing well. He had difficult relationship to each other. I learned that later So I was being to speak to this family and requests like that do come But the secret of making contacts Lies more with us than lies with them I'd like you to remember that Whom could you contact to become acquainted with or even to visit a latin american church plant? And there's no way I can get a complete list here Brother John cropped is down there in the amazonah Down off the mountains from it from prude down towards the resilient side Down there where the waters all flow together to start forming that great big river the largest in the world the amazon He's living down in there with another family. I would contact someone like that If you want to work working in yandina of south america instead of in the amazonah, I would contact someone like levi martin down there at strawsburg virginia I did contact with someone like abt They've got work in columbia with darrell wettner will be here this weekend. They have jerrut down there in southern mexico I would talk to people like that There's now a witness in brazil in argentina In chilean yurgaway in peru and bolivia paraguay ecuador in columbia Then in many of those cases there's only one congregation that we relate to that's in some of those countries As we're sitting here today. There's one congregation. I know that is sponsoring soup kitchens at 12 different locations in venezuela the country of prude just enough is receiving a A stream of refugees coming out of venezuela coming into prude. They're going to columbia as you know They're coming into prude now the village where I just was a short time ago has over 5 000 Venezuelans living there If you want to know whether it's lip and door they're not I could answer the question by skipping this illustration done on saturday noon A venezuelan family refugee family wanted to come to their place for dinner. They had a very very poor house They came over here with just about nothing Some of them only the shoes that they were wearing the clothes that I had in their back The only clothing they brought with them no blankets or dishes or tools of any kind These people have virtually nothing when we got there for this dinner The surprise to me was that there were 25 other refugees there We ate dinner with some 25 venezuelans I don't know where all this food came from it was an outstanding time these people wanted to hear they wanted to And and this this whole group of people came to the church services while I was preaching it was an amazing opportunity And so I came home from prude with a burden for venezuelan in my heart Do you understand how that goes? You have nicolas robertson down there via sarano and In blibby you have titus peachy who was working over there Near lake titicaca and poonal I would contact people like that We do not have all of costa rica covered There's hardly any witness among us in the central valley at all where 70 percent of the people live in costa rica We have no churches out there really There are probably people right in costa rica that live with the tortures printed that has never seen an issue of it Don't you think so brother mark What are the qualifications for working in latin america that was another question that I was asked There's really only one I've already referred to it Same qualification you need to go anyplace else in the world to serve But it's true in latin america That is a broken heart That is the kind of thing you can face any kind of problem. There is without being upset about it When the word frustration is not part of your daily experience You can accept a loss a privation a no a closed door And you just simply look at the next one for the next one Someone told me a couple days ago that they He has this poster he has at his house And on there's the picture of a door and he's It's like a person in a hallway looking at this door Door shut He wants that door up, but it's shut And down there's a little caption under this door it says While you're waiting for god to open the door praise him in the hallway And when we do it when you and I learned to do that We stick our face to the empty fire barrel and sing the doxology When nothing can upset us we'll make accept anything that happens and be peace about it Until that happens. I would suggest we stay on our knees until we get there Really? That's not only qualification for a missionary that's going to one of these remote and difficult places to serve I'm not quite sure the churches in america are gonna survive if we don't learn to do that That's the qualification right there I would suggest and you can't do this because she died in 2015 But I suggest if you'd like to know what a qualification is for working not in america you visit with elizabeth elliott And you remember that she is the well-known wife of jim who was killed in 56 when their daughter was only 10 months old Valerie Elizabeth spent the first missionary year of her life In 1952 and 53 she was married then toward the end of that year She was a in a lonely Ecuadorian village among an Indian tribe known as the colorado indians and she was there With a purpose of coming out of s i l to formulate some kind of a vocabulary some kind of a Alphabet for this language If you read what she had to do to get that done How she prayed for the lord to provide people for her to help her to do to do this people the new The language she knew spanish the language. She was trying to learn and the the denials and the Backsets that she faced time after time after time And the story there and she wrote in that book Is it not to make you cry? But the worst was this that after after she had a suitcase filled with Charts And notebooks full with words and she had an alphabet put together And she had all this additional work done for the purpose of helping someone then Pick up this material and start translating a bible into this language Uh when this was taken back to quito to the city The suitcase was lost Was never discovered since and everything she did for an entire year was gone And what'd she do she turned right around after her husband died when right back there and served in the same place That's the stuff that not in america needs i talked a little bit about it for a while To see how you get that way of course Catholicism is going to be prevalent wherever you go. You should be acquainted with that and be acquainted with handling it Eugene neither Has probably written the best anthropology of latin america that has ever been written from a mission I'll just point of view And he has things in there that any latin american person should or interested in that area should study Explains to you all kinds of things in there the concepts towards work towards money towards religion He talks in there about the latin family. He tells in there The importance of a grandmother as you recall brother mark that when that grandmother the paniagua grandmaul not the not not this This one the old girly When she was converted, you know, the effect that had of the paniagua family and you get that one You you you have now have access to the hearts of everyone down through the generations And we are looking forward to the next 10 years brother mark to baptizing the fifth generation of that family into our churches The fifth generation mark is being born in marcia right now in other places That's all in that book And it also takes it takes your stepfather gets you out of the latin culture goes into the mess america mess america culture the The natives there are native americans and talks about how they relate to this whole thing It's just it's an outstanding book. I would suggest you get a hold of it and read it You don't need to memorize it study it Of course, you ought to know some spanish if you're going to go there I suppose let's quit So I don't know if I should give any of these concluding remarks But I just want to say this to you Call to missions.  You're like I've got the angel stand on Are you ready to go you grab a hold of something the mastodon call only comes to one person It's the man who's already out doing it Paul was already in the mission field. He's already doing the service. He's already going from place to place. He was already preaching gospel He already made the sacrifices already left the the the jewish background. He was already out with the Gentiles All god was saying was I don't become a no Kusali That's all god was doing with god was God gives mastodonion calls those specific directions Not to the ship is sitting in the sea is sitting in the sitting at the in the harbor That's a safe place for ships to be But that's not what ships are for And sometimes it's not even safe to be there if you don't believe me Check around Pearl Harbor and see what you think So we need to be out there Where the call of god comes tamed of my wife and I in a very simple way that's Just one more call this happened many times, but the one unique step in our lives happened on the first day of the year January 1 1989 We decided to set that day aside for prayer and fasting We're gonna stay on our faces before god until he shows us Some things yes for our lives. It was a very difficult difficult time for us then And during that day several unique things happened very special things happened One of those things was that new tribes missions from Sanford, Florida sent us a role of mission posters I found later that a converted Jewish girl that we had met some months before Asked them to send that to us. It got there on this very day that we were fasting and praying I opened up this posters and pulled them out and looked at them. They're all kind of interesting And there was one there I couldn't put away. I couldn't put it aside. I still have it I couldn't lay it aside. There was a map there Of the western hemisphere and up here is the united states There's these big letters written across there Taking from a bible verse of acts You have been in Jerusalem long enough Jerusalem has nine letters in it The middle three letters of Jerusalem are usa And those those three letters stood out in red white and blue paint. You have been in usa long enough I Know I deal with that was going to mean to me I know I deal with God was going to do for that But then the prayers turned directly to that if that's the case then God shows the next step phone rings A stately gentleman that I had never met. I didn't know him. His name was sanford yoder was on the other than the phone The rest of his history I being the way I wanted to I was willing to you're willing to paul was willing to And and God sees that knows that finds you and places you and he knows already where that should be But before you Buy your plane ticket For keto ecuador For fracusco peru The neighbor Two and a half houses down the road. May god bless you this morning

Hello friends, I am Sanjay Gupta. In this video, I am going to demonstrate you how you can implement default constructor in inheritance.  If you want to subscribe my YouTube channel, you can click on the link which is available at bottom right corner of this video. You can download my app Takimis that is available on Google Play.  First is class A. Inside this class, I am implementing default constructor. Inside this constructor, I am implementing a statement system.out.println. It will show constructor of A on console. While I am going to execute this, then I am implementing class B. It extends class A. Now I am implementing default constructor for class B. In this constructor, system.out.println statement is available which will display constructor of B on console. Now for object creation, I am creating class test. Inside class test, I am implementing main method. Here in main method, I am going to create object of class B. Now whenever I will be executing this code and object will be created, it will call constructors of class B and class A. Now you have to remember that whenever we create an object of subclass, then constructor of subclass is called first, then control will be transferred to superclass constructor. Then execution of superclass constructor will be done and then execution of subclass constructor will be done. So for calling purpose, hierarchy moves from subclass to superclass. But for execution, hierarchy moves from superclass to subclass. So in short, you can say that constructor of superclass is executed first and constructor of subclass is called first. Now we can see the output with the help of execution. I am executing this code and you can see the output. Constructor of A and constructor of B.  Output of constructor A is shown first and then output of constructor B is shown at second. So you might have understood that execution of superclass constructor is done first and then subclass constructor will be executed. If you implement hierarchical inheritance for more than two classes, then the same scenario will be applicable for that purpose also. So implement this code in your system so that you can understand how we can call default constructor in case of inheritance.

Alhamdulillah, this is the season of the Hajj, and so many of our brothers and sisters, by the grace of Allah, are embarked on this very important journey. Mehlus Manautala made their Hajj a good one, a successful one. Mehlus Manautala bring them back safely. Mehlus Manautala bring us the barakah that will bring back from the visit to the house of Allah, and a visit to the place of our Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. It is possible to talk about the Hajj from many different angles, and for a very long time. It is said in certain circles that the difference between ordinary people and those who are extraordinary, is that extraordinary people build institutions that endure. Ordinary people do good things, they're good to their families, they're good to their neighborhoods and their communities, but not necessarily build institutions that endure. And it is said that our Prophet ﷺ built not one institution, but five institutions. This is what is said, the institution of the word, the institution of Salat, which is the prayer, the institution of fasting, the institution of zakat, and the institution of Hajj. That's only an approximation, because when you look at the Hajj, the Hajj is not one institution. The Hajj is many institutions in one, and you can take it, explode it, as you do for instance, when you look at a scientific object and want to analyze it, you can explode it, and look at each one of the items, each one of the things that we do in preparation for the Hajj, performing the Hajj and coming back, each one of them is an institution. Insha'Allah, this is what we'll try to do today, is to look at Hajj from a historical perspective. There are many young people in here, and they need to understand how Hajj was perceived, was practiced, and how it benefited so many people before the advent of our Prophet ﷺ and after our Prophet ﷺ finalized the rights of Hajj. The Hajj relates to the house of Ulus Manau Dada. People say, those who are not Muslim taskists, why is it that you point in the direction of Makkah? The answer is simply that that is the place where the first human performed the sajda to Allah ﷺ. If you go for Hajj and many of you have done for Hajj, it is related that Adam, and Hawa, when they were separated from each other. See here, I want to transmit to you a very important idea, the idea of separation. The idea of separation that animates all great literature, animates all great human endeavor, whether it be poetry, whether it be a work of architecture. Every great idea is animated by the idea of separation in as much as we as human beings were separated from Ulus Manau Dada, and it is a continuous endeavor that we have from the moment we are born to be died to find in Makkah. We find it through Salat, we find it through fasting, we find it through giving salat, we find it through zakat, we find it through Hajj. Meaning, it's a means, a process, the idea of separation. And that, in a sense, is to find our beloved. Beloved, not in the sense that the understanding in the ordinary means, but in the sense that at one time all of us, from Adam, to the last man who will raise this earth before the Day of Judgment, we stood in the presence of Ulus Manau Dada, and Ulus Manau Dada took that oath from us, we all said, Bala, yes, indeed you were, indeed it's an affliction that you took, that covenant from us. We were separated. So it's said, Adam and Islam, and how Islam were separated from each other, and they found each other, recognized each other, Arafa. See, again, it's very possible when you start a discussion of the Hajj to take out in a certain direction, Arafa itself is several hoodbusts in one. One of the meanings, Jigya, is the recognition, recognition of the names of Allah, recognition that Adam, and Islam, had of each other, and hence the common origin of all human beings. So it's said that they recognized each other, and they prayed at the place of Sajda. Sajda is the proper relationship between a human being and a Ulus Manau Dada. They said, what is the relationship? There is no relationship. The only relationship you want to think of from a human perspective is when a human being goes into Sajda, surrenders completely, and besieges Allah's Manau Dada for his munificence and his mercy. So that was the first place of Sajda. And he is led by, age is led by, and it's related that during the Great Flight, as it happens in many flights, the house of Allah's Manau Dada was destroyed. So many people who are not done for Hajj, they ask, how is it possible in the desert that you will have a flood? Well, if you want to see what kind of flood you're going to have in Makkah, go there during the winter months, during the rainy months. We had the good fortune of one time in 787 to be there during the month of December, and all the waters from the various different mountains converged towards the Kaaba, which is at the center of you in the valley. And the water, no exaggeration, could be as high as 20 feet. No exaggeration. I mean, ourself's thought. So the house of Allah's Manau Dada was destroyed until the time of Ibrahim al-Islam. It was reconstructed, and the story, and the historical evidence for it is the Ha'an. Ibrahim al-Islam, with his son, Ismail al-Islam, they reconstructed the house of Allah's Manau Dada, and it has stayed subject to the new constructions, old U.S. new destructions and so on, as it was at the time of Ibrahim al-Islam. So first of all, it's a visit to the place of the first sajda. As the Ha'an says, the first house for the worship of Allah's Manau Dada was established in Makkah, meaning Makkah, full of blessings for human mind. So one goes there for remembering the first sajda, and the place of sajda establishes only a direction. Just imagine humanity if they had multiple directions, because another thought that I want to pass up to the young people in here, where so many religions are a projection of the earth upon the heavens. Islam is a projection of the heavens upon the earth. See, for instance, in Sunnah al-Baghra, Allah's Manau Dada teaches us, al-Iqlani, the al-Qalqitabu, that, not this, it's a demonstrated form of the book that is in Lubanah, who's out there. A first of Ha'an is a portion, the final portion. Allah's Manau Dada revealed to our Prophet Muhammad SAW, in the same sense, the Ka'bah is a reflection, it's a reflection of the heavens upon the earth. It is said that there is the vital Ma'un. The vital Ma'un is the place in the heavens where all the angels circle around it.  Imagine billions, zillions of angels circulating around a central focus. And if you can withstand that imagination and withstand the projection of that upon the Ka'bah, you'll have some semblance of the spirituality that's associated with the Ka'bah. This faith believes that, indeed, it is a projection of the Ma'un or upon this earth. I believe that it's a spiritual statement. It is not of this earth, it is not of the heavens, but it's a projection, just as Islam is a projection of the heavens upon the earth.  It's much more than a religion. Religion has different connotations. It's a limitation of the English language. So one goes there to commemorate and to associate with the projection of the heavens upon the earth. But I said, we'll relate to it in a historical sense, even after our Prophet Muhammad SAW What I'll do very briefly is to touch upon some events so that the young people here carry back with them not just the spirituality of the place, and I'm sure many hadiths will stand here, inshallah, and they will talk about the spirituality of Haid, because it's a multi-dimensional, multi-institutional institution. It's not an institution, many institutions in one. Women in Hajj, for instance. In the 8th century, that is approximately 150 years after the time of our Prophet Muhammad SAW, when the Islamic domains extended all the way from the rumor of Indus to the Koreanist mountains which divide France from Spain, all the way from what is today Pakistan to what is today Spain and France. At that time, at the beginning of the 8th century, Haruna Bashin was the Khalifa in Baghdad and his wife, Zubeda, performed the Hajj. What a marvelous lady she was. People say, well, you know, Islam keeps women down. What? They are not studying the history of Islam. They do not know how Islam took women from the position that they were in and elevated them to the highest and the highest. This lady performed the Hajj, so she was the wife of the Khalifa. She took a big entourage. And not only did she perform the Hajj, noticing that there was not a good road between Baghdad and Makra. She constructed the road.  But the road is still visible if you look at it from satellites. Not only that, but he went for Hajj. She noticed that there was a dirt of water. You remember that Baghdad was built in the desert and people said, why was it built in the desert? Think of Khilwa. If you want to live with Allah, you want to isolate yourself. You want to somehow absorb yourself of all the connections, the distractions that you have from the outside world. And what better place is there than the desert to isolate yourself so that you are in a one-to-one relationship in a relationship center, Sezda, with Al-Isman al-Ata'a. It was built in a desert and it's mentioned in the Qa'am. When Ibrahim Al-Isman along with his leaves, his wife and his baby, he praised Al-Isman al-Ata'a, put mercy in the minds, in the hearts of some of the denizens that those who lived in this area so that my children would partake in some things. So the desert is where the Ka'ba was located. Zubeda saw that there was no water. So she built a cistern, a system of condoms bringing water from the mountains to the location of the Ka'ba. And those cisterns are still there. This way there, but still there. What a marvelous lady she was. Not only was she the wife of the Khalifa, but she did this wonderful thing that was of benefit to people for generations to come. Let's move on, especially for young people. In the 14th century, and I'll paint for you what the 14th century was like. The 14th century obviously came after the 13th century. The 13th century was a century of devastation, complete total devastation. On the one hand there was devastation of the invasions from Europe, which is what we call the Crusades. On the other hand, much more with greater intensity in the devastations of the Mongols between 1219 and 158. But all the areas from the Amudaria, which is in Central Asia, was Pakistan, to Baghdad, and up to Jerusalem, up to the Battle of Angelo in 1262. All the areas completely totally destroyed, then came the 14th century. In the 14th century, there were only three Muslim kingdoms standing on the feet. One was the Mongol Sultanate of Delhi, who had to continuously fed off the Mongols. The second was the Mongols of Egypt, who fought a brave and successful battle against the Mongols in 1262, of the outskirts of Jerusalem, and there was the Empire of Mali. The Empire of Mali, after the Kingdom, is something that most Muslims may not know about. Mali was by far the richest kingdom in the world in the 14th century. Why? They had access to the gold mines of time. And the king, Mansa, he means Mansa, Mansa Musa, he was perhaps the richest man on earth in the 14th century. He decided to go for Hajj, and it was ready. This is important. He is related. He took with him so much gold, and he spent with them. He traveled through the desert, and I don't want to go into all the trade routes that existed. He traveled through the desert, went to Egypt. Egypt was the very prosperous place of art at the time, because they controlled the trade between the Mediterranean and the East, the space tribe. And even so, Mansa Musa brought so much gold, it caused inflation in Egypt. There is a supply of money that obviously prices go up, and you have inflation. He spent so much money that he influenced the economy not just Egypt, but all the dominions that were controlled by the Mamluks, namely Syria, and into India, along the coast of Ajaz. He went to Hajj, came back, and on the way back, what did he take with him? He brought back with him copies of the Quran. He brought back with him scholars. He brought back with him knowledge. My dear brothers and sisters, my young brothers and sisters, knowledge is the basis of Islam. There was a time when the kings would do anything, anything to acquire knowledge. In the 16th century, just another fascinating example, there was a holy empire whose name was Muwajib, who was defeated by another king, and he had to flee. And what did he take with him? He took with him a hundred and fifty thousand books. That's how people value the gift of Allah, is the fire that cannot be extinguished. Allah passed on from father to son like they passed on a piece of paper or property. Knowledge is the gift of Allah's power. Allah took that knowledge and built Timbuktu into one of the three nearest cities in the world. Unfortunately, in the river of Niger, it used to flow by the city of Timbuktu. It has shifted down because of the desert. But even now, it is a city to behold. Mansa Musa. Everyone put the kingdom upon you, upon the global picture. Indeed, there are some people who say that Africans discovered America way before Columbus discovered America. And again, that's another story. If it happens, it happens at the time of Mansa Musa because he had the engineering material, he had the ability to know how and he had the means which is capital to make it happen. And there are historical records to prove that. Yet, another example, again, because of the time, I would like to finish in the next three to five minutes in time to make. In modern times, the high-tech Malcolm X, one of the great personalities, those who have been in America the last 50, 60, 70 years and have lived through what he had found in the 50s and the 60s. So, one of the great personalities who influenced the flow of history in the United States. He went for Hajj in 1964. I don't want to go into the other aspects of it. Before he went for Hajj, he was of the opinion that people could be divided on the basis of race and color. When he went for Hajj, he was transformed. Hajj is transformation from within and transformation from without. At the time of Mansa Musa, you saw how the kingdom of Hollywood was transformed as a nation. Years against when a great leader and a new world is transformed, when you go for Hajj, you come back transformed. And he went and talked about each one of the events in the Hajj in the transformation. He came back completely transformed. Unfortunately, he did not live to build an edifice, a social edifice based upon his new vision of Islam, his new vision of America. That is Hajj from a historical perspective. And I'd like to close as to why it is that, how it is from a historical perspective that people go there, not just drained from the waters in the Zanzan, but drained from the waters that come down to the heavens and come back, a building of the Nur Ilahi, the light of Allah's power. And then they go on to the place where our Prophet Muhammad was born, and come back with the Nur that radiates from the city of light. Why is it that it happens? It happens because of the Hajj itself. Because it's not just a place. The Hajj is a visit to a place which is a reflection of the heavens upon Earth. It's a reflection of Bailu Mahmood. It's a reflection of what the Prophet will have so long had as in the final Hajj, which was the first Hajj. And it behooves us to remember some of the things he taught us in that last Hajj. If the young people wish to understand the personality of our Prophet Muhammad and nothing else, read the last khudba. The last khudba of our Prophet Muhammad that he gave, Jablu Rahman, and the Maulana Arakah. Two or three things that you must remember even in this day and age. Number one, we talk about men and women. After reminding everyone to believe in Allah SWT and to observe his commandments, he reminded us of the rights and responsibilities of men and women. And so many people today that say, well, Islam keeps women down. Read the instructions. Read the bidaya of our Prophet Muhammad. Read what is there in the Quran. The Quran is our guide. The Quran, any week in human time. The Prophet SAW said, you men have rights for women and they women have rights for you. Mutual rights and responsibilities. Rights and responsibilities. Adu. Adu means right and responsibilities. Many other meanings too. Women have the rights. Women have the responsibilities. Then, the Prophet SAW wanted to lay the foundation of a just society. That 1500 years ago, clearly, an Arab is not better than an Arab.  If there is not a difference, it is only on the basis of his good deeds.  A just world. And that's what the Hajj is about. And you put on the Quran and you say, Allahumma La Bayt. La Bayt. La Shajika La Bayt. La Bayt. When you do that, that's what you do.   In America today, if you want to understand America, the biggest schism that we have is here that moon, America would be a much greater place. Historically and today. And in the world today, people are divided on the basis of what? But this belongs to you, it belongs to me, I'm a Torah, and whatever, I'm white, black, no, nothing. The Prophet taught us that. And lastly, he laid the foundation of the just economic system. He said, and he reiterated the teachings of the Quran, no rebound. You see, so many hadith, so many imams avoid the issue of Riba. The Quran is very clear. The Quran says he who consumes Riba is as if he has consumed the fire, as if he is friends with the devil, making a covenant with the devil. Stay away from Riba. I know the economic situation in the world may not promise us to do that, but at least no, that is not right. That is not correct. The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam on his, in his last book, and reminded us of the evils of Riba. Of the evils of human mind will buy for itself if it departs on the path. And there are so many other other hidayah that he gave us. So, in summary, whether you look at the from a historical perspective, from a spiritual perspective, the perspective that indeed the Kaaba is a reflection of the heavens and earth, a perspective that the Hajj is a journey with it, and a journey in the top. A journey to discover ourselves, or to discover our origins to our father, Adam Alai Sallam, and our mother, Allah Alai Sallam. A process of discovery of how we relate to Allah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, no matter how we look at it, is many institutions in one. May Allah SWT bring back those who have a mark in the Hajj with safety. May Allah SWT grant them all the blessings of Hajj. May Allah SWT make this Hajj be successful. May Allah SWT also heal those who are sick. May Allah SWT healing not just in the physical sense, healing also within the heart. Because the healing in the heart is even more important in the healing of the body. The diseases of the body are a reflection of the diseases that we have been talking about for a long time. Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah, my brothers and sisters, may Allah SWT heal those who are sick. May Allah SWT heal those who are sick. May Allah SWT heal those who are sick. May Allah SWT heal those who are sick. May Allah SWT heal those who are sick. May Allah SWT heal those who are sick. May Allah SWT heal those who are sick. May Allah SWT heal those who are sick. May Allah SWT heal those who are sick. May Allah SWT heal those who are sick. May Allah SWT heal those who are sick. So those who have the privilege, the blessings of Allah, whether you do with Umrah or Al-Hajj, make sure you visit the city of the Prophet because the mosque of the Prophet gives you vibrations that are qualitatively and quantitatively complementary, different, and yet sublime in their own way from the vibrations that you see in the house of Allah. Whereas the vibrations that you see in the Ka'bah overwhelm you. It is like you're confronting a tsunami. That's how deep and how powerful are the vibrations that you feel when you're in the Ka'bah. One to one in the presence of Allah, when you pray, or very close to a wall of the Ka'bah yourself, or you understand just the sight of Him. But when you are in the presence of the tomb of our Prophet Muhammad, in the mosque of our Prophet, the vibrations are like bombing. It's like the reflection from the moon rather than the hot rays of the sun. That's the approximate analogy. May Allah Almighty make it all possible for all of us to visit the tomb of Prophet Muhammad, and partake of the blessings that come from the visit. Let us pray, Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim. Allahumma sunnah nasa al-aliyah. Wa fta'hna na fata'n qalibah. Allahumma sunnah miladun al-awliya. Allahumma sunnah miladun al-sultana al-masirah. Wa qtub al-sa'qa wa al-salama.
