trembling from head to foot. The whip had fallen from his hand. When Harry saw the tear-stained face o f his father, he sprang to him, threw his arms about him, and sobbed, “ Oh Daddy, Daddy, I’ll never be bad again|® He couldn’t sin against a father who loved him enough to take his punishment for him. Then the, father, with his arms about his boy, reminded him of the blessed gospel story. He spoke of the Sinless One who laid aside His garments of glory and came into this world to take the sinner’s place and to die upon the cross of Calvary. “He, ‘who knew no sin’ (2 Cor. 5:21), Harry,” his father continued, “was made to be sin for us, that we who knew no righteous ness might become the righteousness of God in Him. The Word of God says that He ‘bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed’ ” (1 Ret. 2:24) . When his father finished ; speaking, Harry fell down on his knees just outside the old barn. His. father quietly knelt be side him. In a voice choked with tears, Harry confessed the Lord Jesus as his own Saviour and became a “new creature” in ChristjJesus (2 Cor. 5 :17).

The seventh day should have REST printed in large letters within the circle marked “ Seventh Day,” thus picturing the day in which God rested after He had fin ished His work of creation. Many boys and girls have made these charts after this plan, and they have al ways found great delight in their work. The pictures have helped them, too, to re member the order in which God created this great, beautiful world in which we live.—M. S. H.

How Harry Became a Christian
B y F rank E. L indgren Harry lived with his parents on a farm in the state of Iowa. His father and mother were mostxdevoted Christians, but Harry was a very" willful boy. It seemed to be his delight to oppose every wish of his father and mother. Lying and stealing were mere pastimes for him,. Although ■Harry’s parents .loved“ 'him. greatly, they believed in punishment when the law. of the home was broken. He felt the strap many times. They punished him in other ways, too, but he continued in his wild way. They lovingly begged him to be good, but Harry could nof? His parents prayed for him, and tried to lead him to receive Jesus as his Saviour. One day Harry was caught in some for bidden act. H£ had done this particular thing before, and he knew that he would be punished. His father asked him to go with him to the barn, where the carriage was kept. There was a whip in the whip- socket of the carriage. It was long and flexible, and Harry knew how painful it could be. Stepping outside the barn, the father took off his coat, turned to the boy, and said: “ Son, though you have been punished often, you still continue to be the same dis obedient boy. But I cannot let your wrongs go unpunished. This is the way your naughtiness is going to be punished after this. Take this whip, my boy, and I will stand with my face to the wall. I want you to strike me ten times across my shoulders as hard as you can strike. And remember, every disobedient act you com mit from now on will be punished in this way.” Harry was greatly surprised and pleased with this arrangement. In fact, he had longed for the time when he could give his father what he himself had so often received. He readily took the whip and gave his father a sharp stroke across the shoulders. The father winced and Harry laughed. The second stroke was sharper. Harry laughed again, but not so heartily. After the third stroke, Harry noticed a pink streak across his father’s back. He had drawn blood. The father waited for the fourth stroke, but it didn’t come. “You are not through yet, my boy,” said the father. “ Give me the full ten strokes. This is for you.” But the fourth stroke did not come. The father turned about and saw Harry
