we find. (Withdraw the untorn heart from the back compartment. Force the envelope wide open, allowing the audi ence to look into it and observe that it appears to be empty.) Christ not only dealt with the crippled man’s physical need, but He healed his- soul as well. He considered that thé man’s spiritual need was of greatest im portance, so before healing the body He said, “ Son, thy sins be forgiven thee” (Mark 2:5). After the sin question had been settled Christ said, “Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house” (Mark 2:11). Christ is still healing the hearts of all those who come to Him. Objects: An ear of corn, and the out line of a human ear, cut from paper. (If an ear of corn is not available, a piece of yellow paper may be used with kernels outlined on it.) Lesson: How are people like corn stalks? “They both have ears.” That is a very good answer. I brought an ear of corn with me, as well as a picture representing the human ear. The ear of corn cannot hear. The human ear is supposed to hear, but often does not, even when the person is not deaf. Christ in giving His parables spoke of this kind of person when He said, “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear” (Mark 4:9). The Lord knew that there January 28, 1951 H ear H im H ere

Objects: Two unused correspondence envelopes, two colored paper hearts, a small red cross, a piece of black thread and a pair of scissors. (Cut down both sides and across the bottom of one en velope. Discard the irregular half of the envelope, and keep the complete side that bears the flap. Insert this side and flap in the uncut envelope with the gum med portion in the normal position for sealing the envelope. This will make a partition. Hide one of the hearts behind the partition, before sticking the two flaps together. This gives the envelope the appearance of being empty. Glue the red cross on the back of the envelope. Tear the heart which is on the outside of the envelope and wrap the black thread around it.)

Lesson: This heart, torn and bound with black thread, reminds me of the sick man about whom we are told in the second chapter of Mark. He was so sick that he could not come to Jesus by himself, even though he, doubtless, rec ognized his need. Four faithful friends carried him to Christ. We will take this sin-bound heart and place it in the envelope on which there is a red cross, representing Christ. Next we will seal the heart in this envelope. When people came to Christ or were brought to Him, there was always a great change. With these scissors we shall open the envelope and see what
were some who would hear and under stand, and that there were others who would not want to hear and understand. Isaiah dealt with the same kind of peo ple, for he said, “ Incliné your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live” (Isa. 55:3). Today, as well as in the days of Isaiah and Christ, there are those who fail to hear God’s voice speaking to them. It is well for us to ask ourselves, “Are we using our ears as God would have us use them?” We should keep our ears alert, listening for the voice of God, and not be like the stalk of corn which has many ears but never hears. Jesus said in Mark 4:24, “ Take heed what ye hear.” People with hearing ears should make sure that they use their ears to the best advantage—that bf hear ing God’s Word and voice.
