ported herself and six children by wash ing. She was as regular as the rich man in making her offering of five cents a week, which was all she could spare from her scant earnings. One day the rich man came to the minister and said that the poor woman ought not to pay anything, and that he would pay the five cents for her every week. The pastor called to tell her of the offer, explaining his errand in a consid erate manner. Tears came to the woman’s eyes as she replied: “Do they want to take from me the comfort I experience in giving to the Lord? Think how much I owe to H im ! My health is good, my chil dren keep well, and I receive so many bless ings that I feel I could not live if I did not make my little offering to Jesus each week.”— The Home Herald.
one o f the 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, be cause 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 you 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 e v e r y t h i n g 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 refreshing and hap piness to other people. In looking at these two cans, I am re minded o f the words of the Bible: “ It is more blessed to give than to receive.” And, “God loveth a cheerful giver.” If in a few days you were to come to this stingy can, you would find that the water was stagnant and impure, because the can refused to give that which it received. The two lakes on this map o f Palestine remind us of the same truth. The Sea of Galilee is a living body of water, where people live and labor, because it gives of that which it receives. The Dead Sea is dead, because it receives but never gives. Boys and girls, don’t be like the Dead Sea and Carl Can. Be like the Sea of Galilee and Kate Can, giving to others of that which you have received from God. (A small hole near the top of the can will allow it to be emptied after the lesson. When tilting the can, cover the hole with your thumb to keep the water from run ning out.) From Black to Gold Dr. Stuart Holden once visited a factory in the North of England where costly china was being made, and the thing that interested him most was the painting of the finished product. It had been through many different processes, and was taken to a studio for the artist to complete. “ I saw the pattern being put on in various colors, and noticed that a great deal of black was being used. On asking why, I was told, ‘It is black now, but it will be gold when it comes out of the fire.’ Is not this just as it is in our lives? What is put on black we do not recognize as gold at the time; and the thing that is gilding our lives—or is intended to do so—is very often put on in darkness and blackness.” —Christian Herald and Signs o f Our Times.
How Jesus’ Friends Shared A cts 4:32-37; 6:1-7
Memory Verse: “ Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one o f the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me” (Matt. 25:40). Approach: The disciples o f the Lord Jesus were very busy now preaching to the people about the resurrection o f Jesus.
They were so filled with the Holy Spirit that they spent all of their time telling this good news to the p eop le. A g rea t crowd o f people who believed in Jesus gathered themselves together at Jerusa lem, a n d because they believed in the same things, they

wanted to be near each other and to live as one big family. But who would pay for their food and clothes and houses? Peter and James and John couldn’t. They had no money. Who would, then ? This was a serious question. Lesson Story: Now it happened that some of the people who believed had money or land or other possessions, and o f their own accord they decided to bring some of these as gifts to be shared with others. They sold their land and their houses and brought the money to be distributed among other Christians. So it happened that every one received “according as he had need.” Today our church, God’s house, where we come to worship, is paid for in the same way. Those who have money bring it so that God’s house may be kept open and the good news told to all. Do you remember the story of the time that Jesus stood at the temple door and watched the people who came to worship, and saw how they dropped their money into the collection box? Some o f the people dropped in large sums of money. A widow stopped to drop in two mites. You remember that Jesus told His disciples that she had given more than all of the rest, because she had given all that she had. The pennies that children bring are just as important as the dollars of older people. God wants us all to share in His work and in keeping open His house.
