ter tell you what I said about presents for Children’s Day?” Mother shook her head. “Sorry, dear, but I’m not guilty. I’m just as much in the dark about it as you are. But wait a minute—here’s a note.” When she unfolded the paper, she read: “A little gift for the two children who yesterday morning helped me to find my spiritual legs. May God bless you both. From one who is now ‘God’s Lame Man.’ ” “Oh, oh!” exclaimed Penny. “It’s our Rich Young Man, Peter. He was there and the Lord did hear our prayers. Isn’t it wonderful!” New K.Y.B.C.

in his ears, “Don't you see that you cannot walk without Him?” Somehow the matter of his crutches seemed of little intportance just now, but that other matter of his personal walk with God troubled him more than he cared to admit. He knew the gospel but he had never done anything about it. The next afternoon, a messenger boy brought to the home of Peter and Penny a large package. "Whatever can it be?” exclaimed Penny. But Peter was already untying the string. When the tissue paper folds were parted, the children found a beau tiful shut-eye doll and a football. "Why, Mother, you darling! Did Pe- Bible Arithmetic How many times did the Lord call Samuel as a little boy in the temple (1 Sam. 3) ? Add to this number the age of Jairus’ daughter (Mk. 5:22-43). Mul tiply the result by the hour when the nobleman’s son began to amend (John 4:46-54). Add the number of barley loaves which a little boy gave to the Lord Jesus (John 6: 5-14). Add the number of letters in the name of a lit tle girl who attended a prayer meeting where prayer was made for Peter (Acts 12:1-17). Your answer will be one more than the Psalm which is called “The Traveler’s Psalm.” Which is “The Traveler’s Psalm” ? Memory Work for June The following verses pertain in some way to children, and since June is the month for Children’s Day, these Scrip ture verses will bfe most appropriate for memory work. Hidden away in these verses are words beginning with letters which will spell the word “children.” C “ Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right” (Eph. 6:1). H “Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach yfu the fear of the Lord” (Psa. 34:11). I “And they brought unto him also in fants, that he would touch them” (Lk. 18:15). L “But Jesus said, Suffer little chil dren, and forbid them not, to come unto me; for of such is the kingdom of heaven” (Matt. 19:14). D “Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven” (Matt. 18:10). U “And whoso shall receive one such 1 » little child in my name receiveth me” (Matt. 18;5). E “Even a child is known by his do ings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right” (Prov. 20:11). N “ Even so it is not the will of your Father which is ih heaven, that one of these little ones should perish” (Matt. 18:14).
“Yes, I know,” s a i d Penny. “He doesn’t know the Lord. Maybe we bet ter pray for him.” “Let’s,” said Peter. The c h i l d r e n bowed their heads and Peter began, “Dear Lord, I wish You’d do something for this man. I’m troubled about his legs, and I’m ’specially troubled about his heart. He needs You and he doesn’t even know it. Please talk to him, God.” “And wake him up on Children’s /Day in time to come to church,” added Penny. When Children’s Day finally arrived, Peter and Penny were up early, anxious to be dressed and at the church in plenty of time. When they arrived, all was bustle and excitement, as the teachers tried to fit the youngsters into their proper places on the program. The church filled rap idly and soon everything was ready. One by one the little tots from the Beginners and Primary Departments made their way to the platform and went through their parts. Peter and Penny could hardly wait for the giving of the account of “God’s Lame Man” as they liked to call the story. Far back in the church, the Rich Young Man sat and watched each suc ceeding number on the program, wait ing for the moment when his little friends should appear, for he had de cided to come to please the children. When the scene by the Beautiful Gate was visualized for the audience, the Rich Young Man leaned forward with interest. With what lusty triumph Pe ter’s young voice rang out, “In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk” ! In spite of himself, the Rich Young Man thrilled to the words. Then Penny stepped forward. “We of the Junior Department,” she began, “hope that you have liked the story of ‘God’s Lame Man,’ but we want you to know that it is more than just a story to us. It Is a picture, too. The lame man you saw at the Beautiful Gate is more than just a lame man. He’s every man wno needs Jesus Christ. He’s all of us, for we are all lame without Him. No matter how well you can walk, if you haven’t taken Jesus Christ as your Saviour, you haven’t a leg to stand on before God.” Suddenly her eyes lighted upon the face of the Rich Y o u n g Man and she smiled. “Don’t you see,” she said, “that you can not walk without Him?” We Juniors want to say to every person here who has not received the Lord Jesus Christ, ‘In the name of Jesus Christ of Naza reth rise up and walk ’ ” The Rich Young Man didn’t remem ber what came after that. He sat through the remainder of the service with his head bowed, busy with his own thoughts. His mind went back to the childhood days when he, too, had gone to Sunday-school and listened to the grand old stories from the Word of God. Penny’s little voice kept sounding
