the words “TRUTH TELLERS” to be 'more distinct than the other letters. Begin the lesson with the flaps open showing the names of the twelve disciples). LESSON: In these days we are thinking m»uch about honor rolls. We have before us one of the.’ greatest rolls of honor ever compiled. Some of its names you will recognize, while others you may not. We have here the names of the twelve disciples whom Jesus called. Did you ever wonder why He called men to help Him? If we fold the side flaps over these names, I think we shall see why He called them. We now see the wo r d s , “TRUTH TELLERS.” He called them in order that they might go out and tell the truth which He had given them. In M a t t h e w 10:5, 7, we read, “These twelve Jesus sent forth, and com manded them, saying, Go . .. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.” It was the truth regarding the nearness of the king dom that Jesus wanted them to tell. Christ is still looking for "TRUTH TELLERS.” The truth which He wants His follows to tell now has to do with the gospel, for we read, “Go ye there fore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy. Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, Io, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world” (Matt. 28:19, 20).
Christ’s call for “TRUTH TELLERS” is not only for men and women but boys and girls as well. Boys and girls have often been used by Christ as “TRUTH TELLERS” in their home, at school, and at play.
