Objects: A prepared pencil. (A large pencil, six inches long, is used. Half of it is covered tightly with white paper and half with black. A shell of red paper, three inches long, loose enough to slip easily over the others, is then made. Glue on the back of this shell a projection which will fit between the fingers, keeping it from sliding with the pencil. Fasten a rubber to the black end of the pencil, which is pointed down.
Objects: A heart cut from white paper, and a strong electric light bulb. (Print “ CHRIST” in the heart, using lemon juice or ten drops of sulphuric acid diluted with twenty-five drops of water. Stir a piece of starch the size of a small bean into four tablespoonfuls of water. Boil until the mixture is clear. Cool and add four drops of iodine. The liquid should be a light blue. Add enough cold water to make it thin enough to write. With this liquid print with a sharp stick in the heart the word “ SELF.” Lesson: This heart is filled with self. Everything it does is for self. It reminds me of many people who are very selfish. As we see people who are selfish, we wonder how they can ever be changed, but God knows just the way by which they can be made to do less for themselves and more for others. When we let this hot bulb, represent ing hard trials, shine into this heart, we find that “ SELF” is leaving and an other word is appearing. The word is “ CHRIST.” It- is this way in life. It often takes some great trial or testing before a Christian’s friends can see Christ instead of self in the life. He then becomes more kind and thoughtful of others. This heart now reminds me of Ste phen, the first martyr. While we do not know how selfish he was before he was persecuted, we do know that he was Christlike afterwards. We read, “And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people . . . And all that sat in the coun cil, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel” (Acts 6:8,15). Not only were his looks changed, but his attitude was like Christ’s. “ And they stoned Stephen, call ing upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus,

Put the other end of the rubber around the index finger. As long as the thumb keeps pressure on the red shell, which has been slipped over the white portion, the pencil will be kept from moving, but as soon as the pressure is released, the rubber band will pull upward, causing the black to go beneath the red, allow ing the white to show. The audience will be curious to know what causes the pencil to travel upward without any movement of the hand.) Lesson: Cornelius was a commander of one hundred men in the Roman army. God had taken notice of his prayers and gifts. An angel told Cornelius to send to Joppa for Peter, who would tell him how to be saved. Evidently the angel could not tell him how to be saved, but that message had to be given by some one who had been lost and had received Christ as Saviour. Cornelius immediate ly sent for Peter. Before Peter could be willing to tell a Gentile how to be saved, he saw a vision which showed him that salvation was not for the Jews alone. He was made to realize that it was for all men. When Peter arrived, he began by tell ing Cornelius and his family and friends that God was no respecter of persons. He told about Jesus who had been cru cified and raised from the dead, and that they could have peace through Him, re ceiving the remission of sins. Even though Cornelius was a religious man, he realized that he was a sinner, and he longed to be free from sin.- I want you to notice carefully this little stick. The bottom is black, remind ing us of Cornelius’ sin. Peter told him it was through faith in Christ that he was to get rid of his sin. This red rep resents Christ’s blood. Notice what hap pens to the black. It comes to the red and is seen no more. The white comes from beneath the red. This is the way Cornelius’ life looked in the sight of God after he had trusted Christ to cleanse him.

receive my spirit. And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep“ (Acts 7:59,60). The afflictions through which the Christian goes today are intended to make him more like Christ and less selfish.
