themselves but are too busy to tell someone else. You feel like shaking Mrs. Clock and saying, “What time is it Mrs. Clock? You know. Why won’t you tell me?” Grandma Clock is a poor old woman. See, she is all crippled up— but she is ticking away, and telling the right time. Claire Clock is just 16. She is run­ ning too. What’s wrong with her? She’s telling the wrong time. Her life is a lie. She is like many Christians who are saved, but are not living for the Lord. Someone could look at Claire and be late. They would think there was no need to hurry at all. People are looking at our lives, and from the way some of us live, they would think that the Lord was not coming soon at all, and there was no hurry. They might be late for Heaven. I • like Clarence Clock. He is just a little clock, but he is willing to go any place. He doesn’t have a loud tick like Mrs. Clock, but he is telling the right time. He is willing to stick with people right through the day, and keep re­ minding them what time it is. In the Bible we read, “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Cor. 6 :2 ). “It is time to seek the Lord” (Hos. 10:12). Our memory verse today says “ Seek ye the Lord while he may be found” (Isa. 55:6). We can learn a lesson from the Clock Family. We should not be1as Mr. Clock or Mrs. Clock or Claire, who do not tell people the time . . . but be as Grandma and Clarence who warn people that the time is short in which to accept Christ as Saviour.

Dear Friends: Again we send you a few words of thanks for our copies of THE KING’S BUSINESS. We surely appreciate your continued kindness to us. We look for­ ward to the good reading each month, and anything that we can pass on to our Indian congregations. We would especially like to thank you for “Nisi Finds a Way,” in the Feb­ ruary issue. We have told this story in several of our services to both adults and children; it has been such a bless­ ing. On our station my husband told one little girl the story. She is a little lover of the Lord, living in a heathen home. Again, later the same day, the child asked to hear the- story again, then in the evening my husband was visiting her older brother, not a Christian, and she asked for a story. Her brother said, “ What story would you like?” She asked to hear again about the little girl who crawled through the sewage ditch. We thank you dear friends. Yours in His service, A. & E. Andrews. You ask what the treasure is, Mary? Well, I’ll give you a clue. When we find the key which gives on it the way to have eternal life, we will have the one which will open the box, for when we have eternal life, the treasure is ours. Let us try the key labeled “good works.” It is too small to fit the lock’. This key “church membership” will not fit either. Let us try the one called “tithing.” It does not fit. Neither will the “baptism” key, the “education” key or “ Sunday school attendance,” open the box. I just have one left now. Let us try it. It is called “acceptance of Christ as Saviour.” It just fits! All the rest of the keys are important and should come after salvation, but would they open the treasures of eternal life, Bill? You are right— they wouldn’t. Only accepting Christ will do that. Let us open the box now and see what the treasure is. Why it looks like it is many things, doesn’t it? We find when we have the key to eternal life and accept Christ as Saviour, we have a heavenly home, eternal life, happiness, forgiveness of sins, patience, love, hope, joy, peace, victory, assurance. My, what a treasure! But wait, there is one more. We have courage also. We find an exam­ ple of that in our lesson today. Jeremiah knew the Lord. He had all the blessings we have just spoken of, and this last one, too. In the face of all dangers he had courage to do what the Lord asked of him. No wonder he says through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit in Jer­ emiah 17:7, “ Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord” for when we un­ lock God’s treasure chest through ac­ cepting Christ as Saviour, the blessings which He gives us never end.

Objects: A small jewelry box which has a lock and key. (Label the key “Ac­ ceptance of Christ as Saviour.” Fill the jewelry box with bright slips of colored paper on which are written, “courage,” “heavenly home,” “eternal life,” “hap­ piness,” “forgiveness of sins,” “patience,”

“love,” “hope,” “joy,” “peace,”, “victory,” “assurance,” and after the box is filled, lock it.) Six assorted keys which are labeled, “good works,” “church member­ ship,” “tithing,” “baptism,” “education,” “ Sunday school attendance.” Lesson: I hold a beautiful box in my hand this morning, boys and girls. In it is a treasure. The treasure is so precious that the box is locked. I have several keys here. Let us see if one of them will open the box.
