Just then, someone brought to Jesus a little lunch of five biscuits and two small fish. The one who gaye it was not selfish; he had given all he had. Jesus did a wonderful .thing with it (Read or tell about vs. 19, 20.) As the disciples were passing out the food to the many, many people who were there, perhaps they said to them selves, “Jesús wants us to give to others just as freely as He gives to us.” And He does! Object Lesson P aying a P rice OBJECTS: A quart jar two-thirds full of water, an egg, a small amount of black ink, one-fourth cup of r.ed gaso line and one-half cup of table salt. (The gasoline can be _colored with bulletin red ground in’ oil, a paint color. “Hard-boil” the egg and paint it a silver gray. Darken the water with the ink and put the egg in the water.) LESSON; This jar of black water reminds us of the sinful world in which we live. The silver egg in the bottom of the jar reminds us of the pearl of great price about which Christ once spoke.

chase the church, the,pearl of great price. This church is made up of all true Christians everywhere. It is weli for us to remember that Christ'gave His blood in order that He might redeem us—buy us back to God. We will put this red fluid in the jar to remind us of His shed blood. The egg is at the bottom of the jar and the red at the top. Christ longs to receive that for which He died. I have some salt in this cup which re calls the words Christ spoke to His followers": “Ye "are the salt of the earth” (Matt. 5:13). When I. put it in the jar, you will notice that it causes the egg to rise to the red at the top of the jar. (Stir and cause thé salt to dissolve.) Christ has bought the pearl of great price, His church, with His own blood. It is His desire that Christians, as the salt of the earths be active in bringing unsaved people to Him. them up Into a high m ountain apart, 2 A n d w a s transfigured before them; and his face did shine as thè sun, and his raim ent w a s w hite as the light. 3 And, behold, there appeared unto them M oses and E lia s ta lking w ith him. 4 T hen answ ered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for u s to be here: if thou wilt, let us m ake here three taber nacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. 5 W h ile he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadow ed them : and behold a voice out of the cloud, w hich said, T h is is m y beloved Son, in w hom I am well pleased; hear ye him. 6 A n d w hen the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. - 7 A n d Je su s cam e and touched them, and said, A rise, and be not afraid. 8 A n d when they had lifted >up their eyes, they sa w no man, save Jesus only.
