the righteous Son of God Himself. Being told of their sin was too much for the Jews. They dashed at Stephen and stoned him to death. How sad that he must die like that! But it is not sad when we know that he went at once to be with Jesus. And another good thing happened be cause of this man who was not afraid. The Jews were still so angry that the followers of Jesus had to flee for their lives. In this way, instead of staying in Jerusalem, they were scattered in many places, and the gospel story was preached not only at Jerusalem but in many places round about.
the same time. One is an ordinary clock, and the other has an illuminated dial, which can be seen in the dark. Some Christians are like this plain clock. When they are with other Christians, they let every one know that they are followers of Christ. But if they are with unsaved people, and things look dark, they will not speak of Christ. Other Christians are like this clock with the illuminated dial. Whether they are in the light or in the dark, they tell of Christ. Wherever you find them, they are true to Christ. What a wonderful thing it is to be telling God’s message to those who are unsaved and in the darkness of this w orld! As I look at this faithful clock that is true in the dark as well as in the light, I am reminded o f Stephen. Things were very dark for him, and yet he remained true to God, letting his light shine into the darkness o f unbelief. It is well for us to ask ourselves the question, “What kind o f Christians are we ?” Are we content to tell God’s message only in the light of other Christians, or are we telling His message in the darkness of unsaved associates? How glad Stephen must have been to know that God used his testimony, given when things were dark, to bring Paul to Christ!

T icking and T elling Objects: Two alarm clocks. One should have an illuminated dial. Lesson: Listen and see whether you can tell which of these clocks is ticking. “It sounds as if they both are.” Yes, you are right. They are both tick ing, but they are different. The difference cannot be in the time, for they both tell If we Christians are true to Christ in the darkness of this world as well as in the light, we, too, will have the joy of knowing that others have been influenced by our faithfulness. Don’t be satisfied with being just a “ Ticker”—be a “ Teller” for Christ. (firis’ QUERY CORNER Conducted by M yrtle E. S cott

Where a friend o f girls pre sents the girls’ best Friend
Dear Miss Scott: I have wondered whether you could give me some help in regard to my prayer life. I seem to have so much doubt concerning prayer, and I am unable to overcome it. For instance, some o f the girls in my Sun day-school class talk about praying for help in examinations. It seems to me that it is up to us to get our lessons each day and to be ready for examinations, and that it is rather presumptuous to ask the Lord to tell us the right answer at examination time. Another part of the problem is this: If it is God’s will that all shall be saved, as we know from the Bible it is, why should we pray for the salvation o f our friends and for other things we know it is His will to do? O f course we should not pray for things that are not His will, and the result is that I honestly cannot see very much use in petitioning Him at all. I hope you will not misunderstand me. I do love the Lord and pray, too, but these questions bother me and keep me from having the faith I should have. Hoping you can help me, I am, Lovingly, B.
Dear Girl: I appreciate your desire to have every doubt in regard to prayer cleared away so that you can come with holy boldness and confidence to the throne of grace. Prayer is so very important and should have such a big place in every Christian life that we need to be clear regarding God’s thought on the subject. I f praying over examinations means neglecting our study and expecting God to help us by putting into our minds truth that we have not acquired in the proper way and time, I quite agree with you that we are presuming on God in asking such a thing. However, there are many who have been faithful in their work and who have the facts stored away in their minds but who grow confused at examination time. Our Lord is ready to bring quietness to our minds in answer to our prayer, and to enable us to think clearly. As a usual thing, the closer we are to the Lord, the keener we are mentally. Christian stu dents can bring glory to the Lord by the way they perform their school tasks as truly as they can in any other duty o f life, and He stands as ready to help us in that
