who were hiding grabbed him and robbed him, even tak ing some of his clothes, and wounded him, and went away leaving the poor man half dead by th e road side.

But when he saw him he pitied him, and went to him, bound up his wounds, pu tting on some medicine to make them heal. Then he lifted him up and placed him on the burro, and took him to an inn and took care of him. Now, boys and girls, who was neighbor to the wounded Jew? The one who showed kindness to him.

Yes, I th ink most of you do, and boys and girls are such splendid helpers. Last week we heard about some helpers Jesus sent out. F rank, you tell us about those helpers. Now I wonder how many of us found some others th is past week and brought them to Sunday School. Yes, here is a new boy th a t Jam es brought. How many asked some one to come? I am so glad th a t most of you tried. In our story for today a man asked Jesus a question. He asked what he could do to get eternal life. Jesus asked him what the Bible said, and the man answered, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God w ith all th y heart, and w ith all thy soul, and w ith all thy strength, and with all thy> m ind; and thy neighbor as thy self.” Jesus told him he had answered right, and th a t if he did th is h e would have eternal life. Then the man asked who his neighbor was. Jesus answered by telling a story. Now if you will lis ten carefully you can tell who our neighbor is, I am sure.
