The Memory Four 1st week—“There is none righteous, no, not one” (Rom. 3:10). 2nd week —But,—“If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved” (Rom. 10:9). 3rd week —Believing this,—“Ye are the children of God by faith in Jesus Christ” (Gal. 3:26). ‘ 4th week —“Giving thanks to the Fath er, who hath made us meet (fit) to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son” (Col. 1:12, 13).

The Editor Speaking
Dear Juniors, Thank you for your help and interest. I am glad you like our plans. I hope soon to have the K.' Y. B. C. pins and also the folders that you are to put your J unior K ing ’ s B usiness pages in when the mag azine comes to you each month. There is a boy on the; corner that I pass every day. All day long he shouts something that sounds like this ¡“Haddle Ekky, Haddle Ekky. E-e-e-addle Ekky yusta.” Can you guess what he says? I couldn’t. He is a newsboy. Does that help you? It is the Herald Record he is shouting about. But if his sales depend ed on the way he said the name of the paper, there wouldn’t be any sales. I hope that ¡¿ -not the way you “cry” your “newspaper” which has the best news on earth or in heaven. But, more than that, are you a true Herald Record ef the Lord Jesus (I hope you who read this are Christians): A herald, you know, is a trumpeter; and the Bible says we are Christ’s epistles—records—to tell the world of Him. Let us be, in everything we say and do, not the “Haddle Ekky” kind, but true Herald Records of the dear and blessed Jesus. Send us more verses and short stories, please. And will some of you send some questions for the Questionnaire? Good-by until next month. Helen Howarth Lemmel. Editor, Junior King’s Business 536 South Hope Street Los Angeles, Calif. Little My-Dear “Who made the sun, mother my-dear, And the moon so silvery bright ?” “ ’Tis God who made them, little my-dear, To cheer you with their light.” “Who made the flowers, mother my-dear, In the garden sweet to grow ?” “God Himself, little my-dear, His love for you to show.” “Who made me, then, mother- my-dear ?” “God made, and gave me you. And He who made you, little my-dear, Will guide and guard you, too.” —o— The Monthly Fable A Catbird, envious of the Lark, Said, “I’ll give you food if you’ll give me a feather. A bird like you should only sing, And soar in the blue, this glorious weather.” The Lark, well pleased this labor to save, His feathers for food right gladly gave. The Catbird, a good provider he, Of food, and no less of flattery. And on this diet the Lark grew fat, Nor noticed how rarely, latterly, He sang, or soared. He tried one day, But failed, for his wings he had given away. —Adapted and rhymed from an old prose fable.
around the cross, to remind you that in the heav enly home we shall not forget Him who “died that we might have eter nal life.” —o— Parents and Teachers Are you helping the young people? The drawing above is the basis for a valuable flag drill. It admits of many verse combinations and is therefore us able for many lessons. The verses of last month’s Memory Four are used to develop it here. The flag may be made of cambric, one-half yard wide and three-quarters of a yard long, with the cross of red ribbon. Free use of the pointer is helpful. Black typifies “the kingdom of the power of darkness” (Col. 1:13) into which all are born and in which Satan is ruler (Jesus called him “the prince of this world”). But God is the Over-Ruler, and He will in His own time take the government. Emphasize this and thus save the children perplexity later. Red typifies the way by which we are “translated (changed) into the kingdom of his dear Son,” and this new relation is symbolized by the white and gold—holiness and glory. The cross is seen even in heaven to remind us al ways of how we got there. There is a telling personal illustration in the experience of a naturalized citizen, which may be spiritually applied. Stress the fact that the first step was a decision to change citizenship. Next there -came willingness to do all that the new country required. Apply these processes to the spiritual life. When the lesson has been made clear and the verses learned, the following drill is suggested. Teacher— What does God say of all mankind ? Class —“All have sinned,” etc. (always require chapter and verse). T. —What can be done in such a dread ful case? C. —“But God commended,” etc. (point to red in flag). T. —What then ? C. —“Now are we the sons of God,” etc. T — And for this we are together— T. and C. —“Giving praise to the Father . . . who hath delivered us from the pow er of darkness (point to black), and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son” (point to upper section). —o— Bible Questionnaire Do you know— 1. In what chapter we read of one man who was a great runner, a high jumper, a mighty warrior, and a power ful ruler? 2. In what chapter we read of the first city, the first makers of musical in-
