Objects: A little celluloid donkey or one cut from cardboard, covered with brown paper and a red cross cut from cardboard. Lesson: The little donkey that carried Christ into Jerusalem was more like boys and girls than we at first realize. You know that in the Old Testament times the people were looking forward to the coming of the Lord Jesus as their Sacrifice.

The donkey could not talk, but it could lift Christ so others could see Him. God wants us to imitate this lit tle donkey that helped to make Christ known as He entered the city of Jeru salem. If we live according to the will of God, others will see Jesus in us.
M ay 8, 1949 C ans and C hristians
Objects: Two two-pound baking pow der cans, a potted plant, and a map of Palestine. (Secure a small funnel, and trim the bowl of it to fit the mouth of one of thé cans. Solder it into the can, near the top. This arrangement allows water to enter the can, but keeps it from coming out when the can is turned upside down.) Lesson: Did you know that Christians are like cans? At least they are like these two which I brought with me this morning. I have called these cans Kate and Carl, because they reminded me of people. They are like certain Christians. You are wondering how these cans can be like Christians. I will show you. I give each a glass of water, and then see why I have given them human names. They both receive the water. Kate gives this thirsty plant a drink, but Carl refuses. (Tilt the can with the mouth away from the audience, so that the funnel will not be seen.) He believes in keeping everything he gets for himself. Some Christians, like Carl, seem to think that it is all right to keep all the blessings God gives them, never passing them on to others. Other Christians, like Kate, pass their blessings on to others, bringing refresh ment and happiness to other people. In looking at these two cans, I am reminded of the words of the Bible: “It is more blessed to give than to re ceive.” And, “ God loveth a cheerful giver.” THE KIN G ‘ S BUS I NE S S
In order to show that the people ex pected Him, animals were .killed and offered on the altar of sacrifice. Certain animals were called unclean and could not be eaten or offered at the altar of sacrifice. Donkeys were among those animals that were called unclean. In Exodus 13:13 we are told that the first born donkey must be redeemed with a lamb, or have his neck broken. Just as the lamb had to take the place of the donkey, so Someone had to die in the place of people whose lives are not clean. Every one needs Christ, the Lamb of God, who died for sin. In another way, the donkey was like boys and girls, in that he was tied where two roads met. The devil seeks to tie people at the crossroads, where the broad way leads to destruction, and the narrow way leads to life. The don key was loosed by the servants of God and the words of Christ. This is the way boys and girls are loosed from habits and sins which hold them. Then, too, the donkey was used by Christ. He carried the Saviour into the city. The Lord Jesus can use boys and girls, when they have been freed from sin and bad habits. I will place this red cross on the donkey’s back and let it remind us of Christ. (A paper pocket on the donkey’s side will hold the cross in a vertical position.)
