throughout his life, lay ill with fever in the hospital. He was visited by a gen tleman who brought him medicine and food and fruit. The child was silent for a time as he watched the visitor move around the room. Then he asked, “Sir, are you Jesus?” That poor lad’s question may sound ignorant to you and me, but what a beautiful thing to be asked! And, after all, it was the spirit of Jesus that was working through this man. Could any one mistake you for Jesus ? Are you so kind, so gentle, so loving that you bear the likeness of Him who "went about doing good” ?—Five Thousand Best Mod ern Illustrations, by Hallock. When Grandmother Was Sick M atthew 8 and 9 MEMORY VERSE: “Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them” (Lk. 4:40). APPROACH: When the Lord Jesus had finished talking to His disciples, He came down from the mountain; and as He looked about Him, He felt sorry for the people whom He saw. They were like sheep without a shepherd. He set about to help them. LESSON STORY: First He saw that
It is just the same now as it was then. “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shait be saved.” These words are written in the Bible for us to remember, too. Christ’s power to help us is great if we will believe.

Object Lesson W anting W ater OBJECTS: Five tumblers of different shapes, some marbles, and water. LESSON: A cool drink of water is very refreshing when one is tired and thirsty. Christ knew that the thirst of the soul could not be satisfied with physical water, and therefore He said, “If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink” (John 7:37). Christ sat isfies the soul’s thirst. While He was on earth, He could talk with thirsty men and women and tell them how to get their thirst satisfied, but now that He is in heaven, the work of telling about the Living Water must be done by living Christians. Christians are like these tumblers. If a guest should come to your home and ask for a drink of water, which tumbler would you use? This tall cut glass is very pretty, but it has dirty finger marks on it, and we would not give it to a guest. Neither will Christ use us to give the Water of Life to the thirsty if our lives are not clean. This large glass looks clean, but let us examine it. It is cracked; it does not ring true. If your life does not ring true, God will not use you. .This next glass is filled with marbles, which speak of pleasure. Innocent pleas ures are not wrong, but the life can be so filled with them that it has no time to carry the Water of Life. Would you want to give this chipped glass to a friend? No, it might cut the lips. Often Christians can be so sharp and cutting in what they say that God cannot use them._ Notice this little plain glass. It is clean, it rings true, it is empty, and it is smooth. It is in a condition to be used. It is now filled with pure water, ready to satisfy the thirsty. Every Christian should be as this glass — ready for the Master’s use. This little glass reminds me of the Lord Jesus. It was said of Him that He went about d o i n g g o o d (Acts 10:38). God was pleased with Him, and I am sure He is pleased when we give others the Water of Life.

their bodies were sick and worn out, and He knew that they could listen better to the mes sage which He had for them if they were feeling more comfortable. H e knew it would help them know that He was sent from
God, if He showed them that He had the power of God within Him. So He went about healing the people of their illness. He healed a soldier’s servant. The soldier’s faith was so great that he knew that Jesus could heal his servant even without going to him. “And Jesus said . . . Go thy way; and as thou hast be lieved, so be it done unto thee.” And the servant was healed. Then Jesus came to the house of Peter, His disciple. The mother of Peter’s wife was sick. Jesus healed her and many others who’ came to Him in faith. Jesus could do nothing for them unless they had faith in Him. He could not heal their bodies if they did not believe. In a similar way, they could not have their sins forgiven unless they believed.
