Golden Text Illustration M ark ' 10:44
Two brothers, Ahmed and Omar, wished to do something to perpetuate their mem ory. Omar cut from the quarry a great obelisk, and lifted it up beside the high way, and carved his name upon it, with many other inscriptions. And there it stood for ages, a splendid monument, but of no use to the world. Ahmed digged a well beside the desert highway and planted palm trees beside it. And in the course of time the spot became a beautiful oasis where the weary traveler stopped to quench his thirst and to feed upon the fruit and to rest beneath the shade of the tall palms. And all who passed that way blessed the name of Ahmed the Good. The story illus trates two plans of life. One is to make for yourself a great name, as high as the obelisk of Omar, and as useless. The other is to make your life like an oasis where the weary may find rest and comfort and refreshment.— IfiOl Illustrations for Pul pit and Platform, by Webb.

From the Home of Onesiphorus, one of the largest Christian orphanages in the Orient, located in the war- torn area of North China, Mr. and Mrs. Anglin send wishes for a blessed Christmas to their many friend whom they soon hope to see on their first Home leave in 12 years.

talked with Him many times and were His disciples. All of them believed that He was the Son of God who had come to earth to live as a Man without sin and to die in place of the sinning people who would believe that He had been sent from God to do this very thing for them. Be cause God wanted all people everywhere to know about His Son, God’s Spirit showed these four men what to say. followers of Jesus. Lesson Story: Each of these four writ ers tells the story of Jesus in just a little different way. It is just as if four people were telling about you to some one who had never seen you. One of them might tell about your curly hair. Another might say that you always had a smiling face. Another might remember that you went to school. And another might say that you liked to go to Sunday-school. That is just the way it was when Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John sat down to write about the Lord Jesus.
