Who will tell us a story of a boat in a storm in which Jesus was sleeping? Loraine, you may tell us. Now we know that even though we cannot see Him, Jesus can always see ùs and if we will just give ourselves to Him and trust Him every minute, we do not need to be afraid, for He will always do what is best for us. Jesus is telling another parable or story, and today it is about a young man. There was a man who had two sons; and the younger one said to his father, “ Father, give me my share of the money which thou hast laid up for thy children.” And his father gave him his share. A few days later the younger son took all that he had, and went away into a far country. Now the best and safest place for a young man to stay is at home in the father’s house. This young man was not careful in the kind of friends he chose in the far country, and soon he wasted all the money his father had given him. We know he was not doing the things that were right and pleasing to God, for he would have chosen the right kind of friends and would not have wasted his money. When he had spent all there came a great famine in the land, and he did not have any thing to eat. Then he went and hired himself to a man who sent him into the fields to feed pigs. He was so hungry he would have been glad to eat the same coarse food which the pigs ate, but the man did not give him any. After he had suf fered awhile, he began to think of the home he had left, where there were servants and plenty of good food to eat, and shoes for his feet. He knew he had done wrong, but he did the right thing, for he decided to return to his father’s house. He also made up his mind to tell his father how he had sinned against God, and how wickedly he had treated his father, and that he was now willing to come back and be treated as one of the servants.

So he started walking back to his old home, and while he was yet a good way off his father saw him and ran out to meet him, and put his arms around his neck and kissed him. Then the son told his father all about his wrong doing, and said he did not deserve to be called a son, but a servant. Now boys and girls what do you think the father did, make him a servant? No, indeed, he asked the servants to bring out the best robe and put it on him, a ring on his hand and shoes on his feet; to kill the fatted calf and make a feast, to celebrate the home-coming of the boy who was lost. (Finish the story, emphasizing the father’s loving attitude, because the boy was lost in sin, and was now safe at home again, having confessed all sin). Jesus is teaching us that God loves sinners and is always glad to forgive them, when they come back and love and obey Him. Teach Memory Verse.

A. graduate ’ 12) now a missionary under the Presbyterian Board in Korea, sends us this photograph of a gathering of Korean Christians in the district over which he presides. Mr. Hill and his wife (formerly Miss Mary Ross, also a B. I. O. L. A. graduate) have done a splendid work in Korea, and now has pastoral charge of a large number of churches. Who can esti mate the value for time and eternity of such service made possible by the surrender to Christ of the lives of these two devoted-young people?
