THE K I N G ’S B U S I N E S S own lips. How are we showing our love to Jesus for all He has done for us? Are we doing anything for Him? Closing Prayer. HYMN TO OUR MOTHERS F aith of our Mothers, living yet In cradle song and bedtime prayer, In nursery love and fireside lore, Thy presence still pervades the air; F aith of our Mothers, living faith, We will be tru e to thee till death.

B. Patten. WHO POSSESSES YOU? To own and to possess are not the same. There is a difference between the two words. I used to both own and possess a certain umbrella. Now, I own it still bu t somebody else possesses it. So, sad to say, though God owns us still, too often the World possesses us.—Dixon.
746 by th e name of Mary Magdalene. There are so many by the name of Mary th a t we have to have her o th er name too, so we; will know which Mary. Jesus was passing through th e cities and vil lages and telling all the people the good news of the gospel, how He had come to save people from th e ir sins, if they would believe on Him.

My, w hat a change came over Mary Magdalene, now th a t Jesus was living in her heart, and Mary showed her love to Jesus by helping Him in every way she could. She, w ith other women whom Jesus had helped, cooked and prepared him food as he w ent about preaching. Then when Jesus was crucified Mary stood by and saw him die, and she felt so sorry and sad. Then she went down to the grave very early Sunday morning to pu t sweet perfumes on his body.

Oh, w hat a beau tifu l picture it must have been for those disciples to have looked into Mary’s face as sh e told them Jesus was alive. I know it m ust have been w reathed in smiles and joy was shining out of her eyes. You know when I get to Heaven, I am going to hun t Mary and have h er tell me th a t story w ith her
