906 well. They were tired and thirsty, and so was he. He watched the girls come one by one to the well. Then the servant prayed, and asked God to help him chose a good wife for Isaac. He asked God to have the girl who was the one he wanted to show it by being kind and giving him and tiis camels a drink. When he had finished praying he looked up and saw a girl coming towards the well with a pitcher on her shoulder. She looked very kind and loving, and this servant asked her to give him a drink. She gladly gave him a drink, and then when she saw the tired thirsty camels, she drew water for them too. This showed she was very kind, and then too God had showed the servant she was the one God had chosen, and her name was Rebekah, and she loved and trusted God too. Boys and girls and big folks who love Jesus will be kind to people and kind to animals. Now she showed her kind ness in another way, for she said there was plenty , of room and food at her home for the servant and his camels and the men who were with him. Then when the servant met the rest of her family, he told them what he had come for, and how God had showed him that Rebekah was God’s choice. When they asked her if she was willing to go hack with the servant, she said yes, she would go back. Then the servant took some of the gold and silver, and clothes and gave to Rebekah. She was one of God’s children, and of course she was brave and willing to take the long journey away from her home, for she felt sure God wanted her to go to be a loving and kind wife to Isaac. After she arrived at the home of Isaac they talked and got very well acquain ted and in a little while they were married. They loved each other dearly, and were very happy together. Closing Prayer.—Dear Lord Jesus help us to always be kind and loving in all we do.
THE K I N G ’ S BUS I NESS THE LESSON PICTURE
BELIEVE GOD Just in the proportion in which we believe that God will do just what He has said, is our faith strong or weak. Faith has nothing to do with feelings or with impressions, with improbabilities, or with outward appearances. If we desire to cou ple them with faith, then we are no longer resting on the Word of God, because faith needs nothing of the kind. Faith rests on the naked Word of God. When we take him at His Word the heart is at peace. God delights to exercise our faith, first, for blessing in our own souls, then for blessing in the Church at large, and also for those without. But this exercise we shrink from instead of welcoming. When trials come we should say. “My heavenly Father puts this cup of trial into my hands, that I may have something sweet afterwards.” Trial is the food of faith. Oh, let us leave ourselves in the hands of our heavenly Father! It is the joy of His heart to do good to all His children.' — Geo. Muller. It is claimed that the vast majority of the 16,000,000 people in Mexico, our next door neighbor, do not know what a Bible is. Catholicism has withheld it from them, and as a result the people are steeped in superstition and gross immorality.
