The Incomparable Book By Newman Watts
The Lord Jesus was ready to, heal this poor sufferer right away. Perhaps He wanted to do it for two reasons, be cause He does not like- to see any one suffer, and because He wants others— like you and me—to love the blessed name of Jesus. In a moment, the man was made well. He did not stay very long at the gate that was called “Beautiful,” for the moment his feet and ankle bones were strong, he leaped up ' and “stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and prais ing God” (v. 8), for the house of the Lord was then the most beautiful place in the world for him. Don’t you think he felt like singing: “ ‘Jesus,’ O how sweet the name! ‘Jesus,’ ev’ry day the same; ‘Jesus,’ let all saints proclaim Its worthy praise forever” ?
cold, and he slipped Into one of our rescue missons. That night he found Jesus, and the man who was almost an imbecile was marvelously saved. He wore out three Bibles in three years. The editor of one of our papers made up his mind he would see that man. He climbed up to his garret, and he saw him with his Bible open upon his knees. He said to the man, “Would you -mind reading the Biljle to me?” Said my friend, continuing the story, “I thought I had heard the Bible read, and I thought I had read it myself, but as this man read it, with tears overflowing and his voice trembling, I stopped him and said, ‘Tell me, if you will, what is the secret of your power?’ The man shut up his Bible, hesitated a second, and then said, ‘I have seen Jesus.’ ”—J. Wil bur Chapman in Cyclopedia of Religious Anecdotes.

MEMORY VERSE: “Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee” (Acts 3:6). APPROACH: Suppose you and your brother Joseph are away from home some day, and a boy whom your mother
does n o t k n o w comes to her and asks a favor. If he says he is Bob Brown, that would not mean much to your mother, since ' she does not know him. But if he says, “I am J o s e p h ’ s friend,” don’t you
Object Lesson L ight G etting and L ight G iving OBJECTS: A large red cross cut from veneer, two globes of the world, one small and one large, the figure of a man cut from veneer, a 6-volt dashlight bulb, a coil such as is used in a toaster, and a doorbell transformer or two dry-cell batteries. (If desired, maps may be pasted on cardboards instead of using globes. Put the large globe at one end of the.table and the cross at the other end—about three feet apart. Put a socket for the light in the uplifted hand of the man. From the socket, run one wire down the back side of the figure to the foot, and the other wire tq one of the poles of the transformer. From the other pole of the transformer run a wire to one end of the toaster coil. Fas ten this end of the coil to the foot of the crpss. Stretch the coil out almost straight, and run it from the cross to the globe. Put the light bulb on the back of the cross. Make the neck of the man’s figure long enough to fasten the head on with a screw, from the back, allowing it to turn. Cover the figure with material to represent a suit of clothes. A toaster coil can be secured at a five-and-ten-cent store.) LESSON: This man has a sad face. The reason for it is that he is not a Christian and is living close to the world. For some reason, the world does not look as large or wonderful to him as it once did. [Exchange globes.] He hears that Christ can satisfy, and

think his saying that would make a big difference in what your brother would feel she could do for him? LESSON: Our lesson today is about two disciples, Peter and John, and the use they made of a very wonderful Name. These two friends of the Lord Jesus, who had been with Him while He was here' on earth, and who went right on serving Him after He went back to heaven, were on their way one day to a prayer meeting. Right at the gate of the temple, where they were going, they saw a cripple, who had been helpless ever since he was a tiny baby. Every day his friends brought him to this place, near the gate named “Beautiful,” and people who passed would give him coins. Naturally, he expected a gift from Peter and John. But they knew they had something better than money to give him. They wanted him to know the Lord Jesus, for the Lord could make him well again, if healing was what was best for him. So Peter, speaking for both the disciples, said to the lame man: “Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk” (v. 6).
