Give this story a spir itual application, showing th a t the great work of Jesus was redemption (DRAW) and that the reason so many Christians are weak is because they will not work for Christ and feed on the Word of God. BOAST NOT There is enough tinder in the heart of the best men in the world to light a fire that shall burn to the lowest hell, unless God should quench the sparks as they fall. There is enough corrup tion, depravity, and wickedness in the heart of the most holy man th a t is now alive to damn his soul to all eternity, if free and sovereign grace does not prevent. O Christian! thou hast need to pray. But I think I hear you say ing, “ Is th y ' servant a dog, th a t I should do this thing?” So said Hazael, when the prophet told him th a t he would slay his master; but he went home, and took a wet cloth, and spread it over hs master’s face and choked him, and did the next day the sin which he abhorred before.

Tell of her running and bringing the child’s mother, and of the result. (Emphasize all the way through .how even a child can help,) Miriam was a b rave.little soldier.' She was no slacker. She was a willing worker, and her mother could tru st her to watch the baby. Our memory verse tells us that even a child maketh himself known by his doings. So people know what kind of boys and girls we are by the things we do. Do you help in the
