Objects: Twenty - one matches, a large magnet, and 3 straight pins. (Soak 3 of the matches in water and insert the pins in the stub ends. Allow these matches to contact, for several hours, one certain prong of the magnet, point ing the heads toward the other prong. Mark the prongs so as to be sure to use them the same way when teaching the lesson. Bend 12 of the matches close to the head until the head is almost broken off, and then straighten them, so that the break will not be noticeable.) Lesson: If you were choosing soldiers for the army, what kind of a test would you give them? Most generals want meri with strong bodies and alert minds. Gideon, one of the judges for the chil dren of Israel, was choosing soldiers for the army, and the Lord told him to do some very strange things—at least men in the army today would think them strange. First, Gideon was told to ask who among the soldiers were afraid. Those who said that they were afraid were counted out—22,000 of them. I have several matches in my hand. Some of them will nod their heads like the fear ful Israelites. Twelve of them nodded their heads, and became useless. (The heads will now fall off, when slightly rubbed with the hand, having been pre viously broken.) The Lord told Gideon to send the fearful home, as they could not be. used. There were still too many in Gideon’s army, so the Lord ordered another test. Gideon was told to take the remaining 10,000 down to the water to drink. Those who stood, dipping the water up with

Object: A piece of paper 8% x ll inches. (Fold the paper 4 times, making the following sizes: 8%x5%, 5%x414, 414x2%, 2%x2J^. With the single fold to the left and the double fold at the top, print a small “ S” with a blue crayon. Using a yellow crayon, draw a triangle around the “ S.” Turn the top double fold around to the left and un fold toward it with' the single fold to the left and the double one at the top, duplicate the “ S” and triangle, larger than the first. Turn and unfold as be fore, making the “ S” and triangle still larger. Continue this procedure until you have returned to the original size, 81/2x11 inches. Fold the paper, before the lesson, and .hold in the palm of the left hand at the beginning of the lesson.) Lesson: Looking carefully, you will see that I have in my hand a piece of paper on which an “ S” is printed. Sur rounding the “ S” is a triangle. The “ S” will remind us of Samuel, the little boy who was brought by his mother Hannah to the temple, in order that he might serve God all the days of his life. We will let the triangle remind us of God— the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. As the triangle surrounds the “ S,” so the Lord surrounded Samuel from the be ginning. His birth was in answer to his mother’s prayer. She promised that she would give him to the Lord for service, so when he was old enough to leave home, she took him to the temple. In First Samuel 2:18 we read, “ But Samuel ministered before the Lorfl, be ing a child.” One night later he heard God’s voice, and being instructed by Eli, he said, “ Speak; for thy servant heareth” (1 Sam. 3:10). In verse 19 we are told, “ And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him.” As I unfold this paper, it will teach us an important lesson. The “ S” is getting larger, and at the same time the tri angle which surrounds it is growing too. Some foolish people think that as they grow up they do not need God to sur round their lives as He did in childhood. Samuel was wise in that he allowed the Lord to surround his whole life. Boys and girls who are wise will have their lives surrounded by the Lord from childhood to old age, even as did Samuel. T H E K I N G ’ S B U S I N E S S
their hands, were to be kept in the army, and those who knelt down to drink were refused. God uses the watchful, not the careless people, in His army. We will use this magnet in making this test. (Put the magnet on its side, and stand the matches on one prong, pointing the heads up toward the other prong.) See, only three stand, and the others go down. These three matches remind me of the three hundred men who stood as they drank that day, and were chosen to be soldiers in Gideon’s army. We should remember that in choosing people today, God wants those who will be brave and watchful at all times.
