Did you do anything la st week to help any one? Tell us about it. Next week we will see what you can tell us about having helped others th is week. Memory Verse: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, the servant is not g reater th an his lord; neith er he th a t is sent g reater th a n he th a t sent him ” (John 13 :16 ).

Well, let us read it. (The teacher will read th e lesson.) W asn 't th a t a" strang e thing to do?. Jesus took a basin and a towel afte r th e supper and went around to every one of th e men and washed th e ir feet. Of course they did not w ear shoes and stockings in those days, bu t ju st san- dais.
