HE LEADETH ME In pastures green? Not always; some times He Who knoweth best, in kindness leadeth me In many ways where heavy shadows be. Out of the sunshine warm and soft and bright— Out of the sunshine into the darkest night, I oft would faint with sorrow and af fright, Only for this — I know He holds my hand; So whether in the green or desert land I trust although I may not understand. And by still waters? No, not always so, Ofttimes the heavy tempests round me blow, And o'er my soul the waters and the billows go. But when the storms beat loudest and I cry Aloud for help, the Master standeth by And whispers to my soul, "Lo, it is I. Above the tempest wild I hear Him say, "Beyond this darkness lies a perfect day. In every path of thine I lead the way. So whether on the hilltops high and fair I dwell, or in the sunless valleys where The shadows lie — what matters? He is there. And more than this, where'er the path way lead, He giveth me no helpless broken reed, But His own hand, sufficient for my need. So where He leads me, I can safely go, And in the blest hereafter I shall know Why in His wisdom, He hath led me so. Author Unknown. Around the World with Dr. Talbot (Continued from Page U) More than one hundred opium dens are legalized in Bangkok. Our guide took us through one and the sight was most depressing. Hundreds of people, some only ten years of age, smoke opium, and sleep under its influence. We were allowed to take pictures of these scenes. There is very little testimony for Christ in Bangkok, or in any part of Siam. Let us pray the Lord of the harvest about this. Next stop — Borneo! CHRISTMAS . . . TREES AND TRUTH!

Lesson: How would you like to help me build a ladder this morning? I have it started. Two steps are already on. I am sure that you have never seen such a strange ladder as this one. I call it “ The World’s Longest Ladder,” because it reaches from the sins of earth to the golden streets of heaven. Notice, the first step is black, reminding us of sin, and the top step is gold, suggesting the streets of gold. I brought the other steps, and I will nail them on while you watch me. The second from the bottom is red. This re minds us of Jesus Christ, who shed His blood on the cross to cleanse us from sin. There could be no ladder from earth to heaven if Christ had not come and died for the sins of the world. It is well for us to remember this truth at Christ mas time when people are remembering the birth of Christ. The third step is white. The blood of Christ cleanses from all sin. No one will be allowed in heaven who has not been cleansed by the blood of Christ. We will put this blue step in the fourth place. Moses told the children of Israel to bind a border of blue on the bottom of their garments. When they were tempted to look toward earthly things, this blue border was to remind them that they were God’s people. God wants Christians today to be separated from worldly things. The fifth step is green. Trees that are green are growing and fruitful. God wants His children to be growing and fruitful for Him. I have already told you that the yellow step refers to the golden streets of heav en. I am sure that you will agree with me that this is the world’s most won derful ladder. It reaches from the sins of earth to the glories of heaven. Let us never forget that the Lord Jesus came into the world, to make this ladder pos sible.
