the victory over Israel, the Lord compels him to come as a suppliant back to this same Israel to find healing for his body. Even so, every sinner in the world, no mat ter how greatly he may have hated and persecuted the nation of Israel, must come to the feet of a Jewish Messiah to find heal ing for the soul. A young girl on a railroad train gave a bunch of roses to a little cripple. The child held them to her lips, pressed them to her heart, and then fell asleep. The train neared its destination. The father came in from the smoking car. At sight of his little one lying peacefully, with her head against the stranger, and the roses in her hand, he said, in a voice full of feeling: “The Lord’s blessin’ rest on you for your kindness to my motherless bairn.” The child roused as she was taken in her father’s arms, and said, ‘‘I’ve—been— in—heaven—Pa; I’ve—got—some—roses.” Other eyes were môist besides the father’s.— F ive Thousand Best Modern Il lustrations, by H allock .

to show this heathen man God's power. Elisha did not want to accept any gifts. He sent a messenger to tell Naaman to wash himself seven times in the River Jordan. At first Naaman was angry. This wasn’t any way to treat a great man! But after all, he had said he would try anything. So he went to the river and did as Elisha had said, and to his great surprise, the leprosy left him. If we do as God says, our sins leave us just as the leprosy left Naaman. What is it God tells us to do? "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.”

Object Lesson A M an * a M aid , and a M iracle
Objects: A flat-sided clean bottle, such as is used for shaving lotion, a cross about 18 inches high, cut from veneer, or ply wood, a small piece of brass tube, a bottle of iodine, a medicine dropper, a solution of Sodium Hypo-Sulphite, and a small rubber ear syringe. (Bore a hole in the cross, a little above the center, and place the tube through the hole. Bend both ends of the tube down. Fill the ear syringe with the solution of Sodium Hypo-Sulphite, which can be secured at any drug store, and slip the opening over the tube at the back of the cross. Paint the cross and the tube red. Cut the outline of a heart from paper and glue it on the side of the bottle. Put enough water in the bottle to come above the heart). Lesson: It does not take much of this poison (iodine dropped from the medicine dropper) to color the water in the bottle and make it poison. Notice how the heart is made unclean. Even one sin makes the heart unclean in God’s sight. There is only one way to be cleansed from sin, and that is God’s way—by coming to the cross and letting Christ's blood—His death for us— wash away all sin. W e will place this bottle on the cross to see what happens. (The neck of the bottle can be slipped over the tube which is hang ing down. If a nail has been driven below where the bottom of the bottle will come, the bottle will rest on it. When the tube has been inserted in the bottle, hold the hand over the front of the bottle, and press on the ear syringe in back. This will force the solution into the bottle and will clarify the discolored water.) As Naaman the leper was cleansed by obeying God’s message, so those who come to Christ are freely cleansed from all sin by His blood.

for he had won many victories. But Naa-. man was a leper. Leprosy was a dreadful disease. There was no cure for it at that time, and it was the kind of disease which made the person who had it keep away from every one else. But there was a little girl who had been captured from the king dom of Israel and who waited on Naaman's wife. She told her mistress about the prophet Elijah, and her mistress told Naaman. Because “Naaman was willing to try any thing, he took gifts and got into his chariot and went to the place where Elisha was. He expected that Elisha would come out to meet him and perhaps would give him something difficult to do. But Elisha was not trying to show his power; he wanted
