“Best” Books — on the use of Pictures, Stories and H and W o rk in teaching Sunday School Classes. Blackboard Outlines By George A. C rapullo This volume contains a series of talks to children and young people, supplemented by simple blackboard ou t lines and other forms of pictorial illustrations which are tremendously effective in Sunday school work— yet re quire very little artistic ability to reproduce. The illus trations never fail to arrest the attention and hold the interest of the class. T he stories carry a well-defined moral which, w herever possible, is clenched w ith an ap prop riate Bible quotation. A distinct addition to this form of conveying tru th and profitable precept to the budding mind. Cloth $1.50
THIS, the personal name' of the Divine Being, signifies “He Who was, and is, and is to come” ; the Eternal, the Self-sufficient, and therefore the Almighty One. Join this signification to the fact that He signed it, so to speak, to the Covenant which He made with His people, and there is a well of consolation and assurance in it which is absolutely inexhaustible. We are in covenant relation with the eternal, the unchanging, the Almighty God. Here is a Rock immovable amid all the shifting sands of life; here is the ever enduring amid all the evidences of decay by which we are surrounded. There is One upon Whom we can entirely depend. “I am JEHOVAH, I change not.” What He Was to us yesterday, that He is today; what He is today, He will be till “rolling years shall cease to move.” His love, His tenderness,'His care, can know no mutation; His mercies can not fail; His faithfulness cannot falter. IfpfUnlike our friends by nature, Who change with changing years, Moreover He is an almighty God. Nothing can hinder His pur poses of blessing for the children that He loves. Earthly friends may fail us, not that they are indifferent or unfaithful, but sim ply that they are impotent; the resources of JEHOVAH are infinite. Joined in covenant relation with such ,a God as He, what have we to fear? What rest, what peace, what quiet con tentment should we not experience ?• gfe S eptember 20. He holds the key, not only of death and hell, but the key .of the gates of life. He “openeth and no man shutteth, and shutteth and ho man openeth.” Into whatsoever place He chooseth for His children to enter, the portal thereof shall be flung wide, and none shall hinder their entrance. From every pathway which would lead their feet astray they shall be barred by the locked door which neither they nor any can open. ■Could we but realize this truth and trust Him, how many a bitter hour we should be saved. Could we but feel that “our disappointments are His appointments*” and rest in His wisdom and His love, how many days of gloom would brighten into sunshine and reverberate with song. We fling ourselves upon the locked doors in frantic efforts to remove the barriers; we stand and shiver at the unexpected track as it opens before us, instead of accepting with child-like simplicity and trust our Heavenly Father’s will. So doing we rob ourselves of peace, and do despite to His .goodness and His grace. There is one gate that He has unlocked, and it shall not be shut while the world stands—the gate of eternal life. It stands wide open, '■ “And all who will may enter in, And none shall be denied.” This Friend is always worthy The precious name He bears.” “He that hath the key.” —Rev. 3 :7. “God holds the key of all unknown, And I am glad; If other hands should hold the key, Or if He trusted it to me, I might be sad.”
