MEMORY VERSE: “And God said, . . I do set my bow in the cloud” (Gen. 9:12, 13). APPROACH: Charlene’s big sister had promised her a lovely red purse when she.came back from her vaca­ tion. Charlene didn’t want her sister to forget, so when Big Sister was

OBJECTS: Two toy balloons, several nails, a pitcher of muddy water, and two glass bowls. (One balloon should be red and the other brown.) LESSON: Did you know that this balloon was like Noah’s ark? Who can tell why? “It floats.” ' You are correct, but “there are many other points of similarity. Noticg that the balloon is growing. The ark grew larger and larger as Noah and his helpers workqd on it. Then, too, the balloon, like the ark, has only one entrance. These nails which I hold in my hand are lifce the people who lived in Noah’s day. God told Noah to build the ark because a terrible flood was coming which would destroy “ every living thing from off the face of the ground.” The, Bible tells us that Noah was “ a preadher of righteousness” (2

Did you ever make a promise? What hid you do to help yourself to remember it? LESSON STORY: Today we have a story about a promise Which God made. This beautiful world that God had created became so wicked finally that God had to destroy it with a flood. He saved only eight people. Have you ever heard the story of. Noah and his ark? It wa*s Noah and his family who were saved from this flood. It rained for forty days and nights. My, that was. a storm *, wasn’t it? When the waters had receded and the dry land appeared, Noah made an altar to God. There God met with him and made him a promise. God prom­ ised that He would never again de­ stroy the earth with a flood. As a sign of this promise, He said, “I do set my bow in. the cloud.” Now you know why we have the rainbow. When you see a rainbow after this, it will-be more than a thing of beau­ tiful colors to you. It will be a promise from God. When you look at it you can say, “God is looking at it, too, and He remembers.” The storms may come, the winds maj» blow, and the rain fall, but afterwards the sun will burst through, and there is God’s rain­ bow in the clouds! God has many promises in His Book, and any one of them is like a bright, rainbow. Learn, while you are small, to look for God’s rainbows shining through the clouds of trouble.

Pet. 2:5), but we find that the only ones who believed God and entered the ark were the members of Noah’s pwn family. I am going to take these eight nails that represent Noah and his family, and put them inside the balloon. The Bible tells us that when Noah and his family were inside the ark, God shut them in. [Put a rubber band around the neck of the balloon.] We will drop several other nails into this glass bowl, reminding us of those who (lid not enter the ark. Soon after Noah and *his family had entered the ark, the flood came. As I pour this muddy water into the bowl, the loose nails are covered, but the balloon rises- and the eight nails on the inside of it are not touched by the water. Did you know that Noah’s ark was like Christ? Here is another balloon. It is red to remind us of the blood of Christ. I am going to place some of the nails inside this balloon, remind­ ing us of those who have accepted Christ as Saviour. I want to be in Christ, protected by His blood—His death for my sins—when judgment comes upon this world, don’t you? We will let these, other nails fall into the bowl, to represent those who 'have never accepted Christ as Saviour.- When the muddy water, which now represents God’s judgment for sin, is poured into the bowl, the nails that are in the red balloon are carried above the water.
