LESSON: “Yes” is often a very diffi cult word tO say. It is easy to say, it when Father or Mother wants you to do something you like to do, but it is hard to say when they ask you to .mow the lawn or dry the dishes. ! We should remember always that Jesus said “Yes” to His Father even-at times when that answer would-mean the doing of something very difficult. In the garden of Gethsemane He said, “Not as I will, bùt as thou Wilt.” •. We are reminded of Ecclesiastes 12;1: “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth.” This verse means that we should remember to do. God’s will. And receiving Christ as Savipur is the first thing God wants each one to do. Could you boys make something out of this straight stick, if you had tools with which to work ? Yes, it is dean and straight, and could be shaped into something beautiful. God wants boys and girls in their youth to accept Christ as Saviour, and to allow their lives to be shaped in accordance with His will. What is the matter with this stick? “It is burned and crooked.” . Yes, there is little or nothing that could be made of it. It was once clean and straight, but now it is warped' and burned. Sin burns, and twists the life. This is the reason God wants us to re member Him in the days of our youth. Could you- make a piece of furniture out of these ashes? No. the fire has burned too far. It is wonderfùl to know that God does accept the ashes of a wasted life if that person truly takes Christ as Saviour, but how much better it is to accept Him in the days of youth than it is to wait until thè life has been reduced to ashes by sin! Let us say “Yes” to Him now. $>IO-40

HELP US LEAD THE CHILDREN TO THE CHILDREN’ S FRIEND A letter this summer from a child read: “ Three weeks have passed since we said goodbye and left the blessed camp. O, how I wish I Could go back there right away. Of course I can’t, but I’ll never forget the blessed times we had together, especially the meetings. I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you have done for me. It was through the Sunday School Mission I accepted Christ as my personal Saviour. O, that I might be a light for Him; that will be my aim.” To reach for Christ the otherwise unreached, especially the children, is our aim.

Matthew 27:33 And when they1 were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull, 34 Tl^ey gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink. . 35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that It might he fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, rtnd upon my vesture did they east lots* • 36 And sitting down they watched him there; 37 And set np over his head his accil- sation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. Then were there two thieves cruci-
fied with him; one on the right hand, and another on the left. 39 Aild they that passed by réviled him, wagging their heads, 40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the teinple, and buildést It in three' days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God» come down from the cross. 41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, 42 He saved others; himself he can not save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and wé will believe him. 43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now. If he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God. 44 The thieves also, which were cruci fied with him, cast the same in his-teëth.
