Lesson: For what i are yardsticks used? “ To measure things and be sure you are right.” Did you know that God measures people? We will lean this yardstick against the wall, and thumbtack “ GOD’S PERFECT STANDARD” above it. Now we will place these two men at the foot of the yardstick and see whether they can reach “ GOD’S PERFECT STAND­ ARD.” ' They do not come anywhere near it. We will let them stand on .a diction­ ary, reminding us of learning, but they cannot reach God’s standard. We will put this baptismal certificate on the dic­ tionary. The standard is still not reached. To these we will add a church letter, only to find that God’s standard has not been met. Learning, baptism, and church membership are commend­ able in their proper place, but they never can save us, and cause us to reach “ GOD’S PERFECT STANDARD.” The Sermon on the Mount was given to show God’s perfect standard for man, but no one has ever been able to reach that standard apart from Christ. We will place this large cross, repre­ senting Christ, in front of the yardstick. It reaches “ GOD’S PERFECT STAND­ ARD.” Christ is the only man who ever measured up to the perfect standard of God. Inasmuch as Christ has reached this standard, He desires, by His death, to lift others to that standard. (Place the men in a pocket behind the cross and near to the top, so that they will reach the top.) Now that these men have accepted Christ as their Saviour, they are lifted in Christ to where they reach “ GOD’S PERFECT STANDARD.” We are only able to live up to the Sermon on the Mount, as we are made new creatures in Christ, and by His grace, are able to do the will of God. ■

Lesson: In these days we are think­ ing much about honor rolls. We have before us one o f the greatest rolls of honor ever compiled. Some of its names you will recognize, while others you may not. We have here the names of the twelve disciples whom Jesus called. Did you ever wonder why He called men to help Him? If we fold the side flaps over these names, I think we shall see why He called them. We now see the two words, “ TRUTH TELLERS.” He called them in order that they might go out and tell the truth which He had given them. In Matthew 10:5,7, we read, “ These twelve Jesus sent forth, and com­ manded them, saying Go . . . And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heav­ en is at hand.” It was the truth regard­ ing the nearness of the kingdom that Jesus wanted them to tell. Christ is still looking for “ TRUTH TELLERS.” The truth which He wants His followers to tell now has to do with the gospel, for we read, “ Go ye there­ fore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teach­ ing them to observe all things whatso­ ever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world” (Matt. 28:19,20). Christ’s call for “ TRUTH TELLERS” is not only for men and women, but boys and girls as well. Boys and girls have often been used by (jurist as “ TRUTH TELLERS” in their home, at school, and at play.

“ Prayer fortifies the soul for the conflicts of life. Those who will be remembered longest in this sin-cursed realm and who made the greatest advance were men who knew how to work on bended knee. Moses prayed and a nation was spared; Elijah prayed and the prophets of paganism were confounded; Daniel prayed and a godless king was rebuked for his folly; Jesus prayed and redemption was made.available; Paul and Silas prayed and prison doors were opened; Hezekiah prayed and his span of life was increased by fifteen years. Prayer is the key by which God (through the petitioner) operates the affairs of men.” • T H E K I N G ' S B U S I N E S S
