was one she seemed to like best of all, though at first she hardly realized its meaning : “ Jesus the Saviour is O f boys and girls; Then one day Alice heard the story of Jesus and of His love for her, and she gladly and eagerly responded by receiving Him as her own Saviour. She believed the words of John 1 :12: “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons [“children,” R. V.] of God . . .” Soon with new interest she was singing the songs she had learned. A favorite was one that every Sunday-school pupil knows: “Jesus loves me! this I know, For the Bible tells me so.” But Alice had never realized how much the Lord Jesus suffered for her, until on this particular day she heard for. the first time the story of thê crucifixion. Her heart was broken at the thought that cruel thorns had rested on His head, and that nails had pierced the hands that had bless ed little children. O f course Miss Rae hurried up to Alice’s room in the dormitory at the close of the class. She found her still sobbing as she lay on her bed. “ Oh, how could they treat Him so?” Alice cried between her sobs. “It was a sad, sad story, Alice, but you did not wait to hear how it ended.” “ Oh, don’t tell me any more, Miss Rae. I can’t bear to hear any more,” she pleaded. “But the last part will make you happy, Alice, dear ; you will love this part,” Miss Rae continued, not heeding Alice’s request. “ The Lord Jesus did die on the cross and was buried in a new tomb in a garden. But, Alice, He lay in that tomb only three days and three nights, for He arose —and is living today! An angel rolled the stone away from the door of the tomb and pro claimed the glad news to the sad friends of the Lord Jesus: ‘He is risen.’ ” “ He is—oh—I’m so glad !” By now Alice was sitting up on the side o f her bed, her face alight with interest. “How did it happen, Miss Rae? Do tell me all about it.” And Miss Rae began reading from her New Testament the sweet story of that glad resurrection day : “Now upon the first day o f the week, . . . they came unto the sepulchre . . . And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre . . And when the story : was finished, both sat silent for a moment, and then Alice exclaimed out of the fullness of her heart, “ Isn’t He wonderful, Miss Rae? I do love Him.” And Miss Rae kissed the tear-stained cheeks and whispered softly, “Yes, dear, we do love Him, and some day we shall see Him and be with Him forever.” —M. S. H. Memory Verses for April Let us memorize the following verses during the month of April: “And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead” (Matt. 28:7). “Praise ye the Lord. I will praise the Lord with my whole heart” (Psa. 111:1). “Rej oice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice” (Phil. 4:4). “It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man” (Psa. 118:8). “Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him" (Psa. 103:13). None other ever could Save boys and girls.”
Memory Work for April Question: Who has everlasting life? Answer: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life” (John 5:24).

Question: Can any man pluck a be liever out o f the hand o f the Lord Jesus?

Answer: “And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house” (Acts 16:31). The Sleeping Bulb That brown flower pot filled with dark brown soil has been sitting in the corner of my room all winter. It really hasn’t adorned the room, and many o f my friends asked, “Why are you giving such an im portant place to a flower pot that has only dirt in it?” And I always replied, “There’s more in that flower pot than dirt. Down under the dark soil blanket is a soft little lily bulb. It has been sleeping all winter long, but wake-up time is coming soon.” I kept waiting and watching, and sev eral weeks ago, I was rewarded, for a tiny green shoot appeared in my flower pot. Then the leaves and buds developed, and I am expecting to have a beautiful white lily for Easter day! You see, I have guarded this flower pot with its sleeping bulb for a very special reason. Last year this pot was given me with a lovely Easter lily plant growing in it. Since that time, the dear friend who gave it has gone to be with the Lord. And just as this sleeping little bulb was awakened to come forth from the dark earth to blossom into a glistening white lily, so this dear friend and all Christians who, like her, have gone to be with the Lord Jesus, shall some day have beautiful new bodies. God in His Word says that
