After they got out on the sea, a great storm came up; the wind blew and the waves dashed into the boat and filled it with water, so that it was ready to sink. Jesus being tired after His long day’s work, had gone into the back part of the boat % and was sound asleep, with His head on a pillow.

Now, listen, and let us see what He Just as soon as\Jesus spoke, the wind stopped blowing, and the sea was still and calm. Then He said to the dis ciples, “ Why were you afraid?

GIRLS GATHERED FOR EUODIA BANQUET. PHOTO TAKE! The work has grown steadily from year to year until now there are twelve teachers giving full time to this branch of the work. Scores of girls have found the Lord Jesus Christ through the medium of the Euodia Club and are out in active service for the Lord today. Many have taken the.training at the Bible Institute, who, previous to their touch with Euodia, knew little of the Bible or of God’s plan for their lives. Almost daily, letters and testimonies come from girls telling of the establishing of Christian homes with a family altar; others telling of a hard, long struggle, and the final The character of the younger son is seen in his request, “ Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me.” He is not content that his father should keep his portion. He would enjoy it himself in independence of the hand from which it comes. Soon he would be LESSON even more free and in the far country he EXPOSITION would escape from his father’s eye, as— F. W.

Every good and perfect gift comes from Him, and men are glad indeed to have His blessings, but they can not enjoy them in submission to Him or in His presence.

You know that is the way some of us do when danger is near, or we are left alone, we forget that Jesus is near us. I know a little boy, well he is quite a big boy six years old, and do you know when he is in Sunday School, and mother leaves the room, and he cannot see her, he cries just like a baby.
