Lesson Story: The time came when Jesus should die. His disciples were fear ful. They hadn’t understood that He was going away like this, that He was to die and be buried, just as had happened to people from the beginning o f the world. They had hoped that Jesus would stay with them forever. He had talked to them about putting an end to death. Hadn’t He said: “Because I live, ye shall live also” ? But the time came, and Jesus died. He died on the cross. He was buried, and His disciples were very unhappy as they thought about His death. Then a most wonderful thing happened. His friends went to weep at Jesus’ tomb, and what did they find? The stone was rolled away; the body was gone! Quickly they wondered whether His enemies had stolen it. But no, a voice spoke. They turned, and there stood Jesus Himself. He had come back to assure His disciples that He was about to do as He had promised. He was not dead; He was alive. And be cause He lived, they should live also. And He was on His way to heaven to prepare a place there for those who believe on His name.

Objects: Eight pieces o f cardboard about five inches square, and a cardboard tube such as is used for mailing certifi cates, in the end of which there is con cealed a compass; (Cover two o f these pieces with white paper, two with yellow,, two with red, and two with black. On the back of one o f each o f the various colors, paste a black heart; paste a white heart on the others." Put a sufficient number of razor blades under the white hearts to cause the compass to be attracted when it comes near.) ■Lesson: We have several squares here this morning, colored red, yellow, black, and white, to represent to us the different races o f people. There are two for each race. The front o f each kind looks the same, but the backs which show the hearts are different. Each kind has one black and one white heart. The ones with black hearts remind us o f those who have never accepted Christ as Saviour, while those
