f j u n i o r KING’S BUSINESS . . . By HELEN HOWARTH LEMMEL
dren of God. To all who accepted Him, He would give a new heart in which He would live and rule, and that, in exchange for the heart of sin over and in which Satan had ruled. More than that, since sin must be punished, He would bear the punishment for all the sin of all the world. A young lad was once severely chastised by his father for a wrong done, and the father wondered at the way the boy bore it. When it was over, he said, “Father, I didn’t do it. Davie did, but you have punished me for it, and so that squares it. He’s littler, and maybe he couldn’t help it.” And that is how it is with the True Prince. If we believe that He bore our sins and our punishment, we are free from that punishment forever. We, too, are smaller, and He knows, better than we, how strong and cruel the tempter, Satan, is. To win back the world, then, and to free us from sin and its penalty, He, the True Prince, would come. To re deem the world, He would pay the most that could be paid. He would give His life. Another name for the True Prince is “Redeemer.” [To be continued.] • A S ta r Puzzle

s t h e great k in g had chosen Luci fer for a great place in the King dom of Marvelous Light; as He made and chose Adam, so now He chose a people to be His special people on the earth. This people were to do special things for Him, and those special things had to do with that plan which, from the beginning till now, was and is that He may have a glorious, beautiful, and happy world of people to share with Him a glo rious, beautiful, happy, and never-ending existence. Of all the nations that filled the earth after the Great Rain, the Jewish nation was one of the greatest. Because Elohim, the Great King, loved the father of this nation, He chose them for His special people, and to them, through many proph ets of their own race, He told the plan. There were some in other nations' to whom He made it known, but only to the Jews as a people. The True Prince, He said, was to come from among them, and besides coming to win back the world from Satan, He was to be their King. The Jews, therefore, were expecting a King, and they called Him Messiah. They fervently wished that He would come, to deliver them from their many and cruel enemies. One of the earliest kings of the Jews, and the greatest, was David. God loved David, though he was not always a good man. But he feared and loved God, and truly repented of his wrong-doing. From the royal family of David, the True Prince, the Messiah of the Jews, was to come., And David was born in Bethlehem of Judsea, which place the Book of the Great King calls the City of David. When Lucifer became Satan, Elohim, the Great King, knew what the end would be. And even then the plan was ready. It was a plan that needed the Three Per sons of Elohim to do what He had to do. The Three Persons, who work together as one Person and whose separate names are God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, working with the chosen people, were to carry out the plan on earth. Lucifer, in the Kingdom of Marvelous Light, had said, “I will do my will, and win the world for myself." God the Son said, “Lo, I come to do thy will, O Father.” And that will was the winning of the world from Satan. He, the Son, the Second Person of Elo him, is the true Prince! The plan was' that He Himself—God the Son, the True Prince—should go down to the earth, in to the world of sin and sorrow and death. Those who chose Him would es cape from the rule of the Wicked Prince, and even on earth become citizens of the Kingdom of Marvelous Light, and chil
Bible Q uestionnaire
Where do we read — 1. Five names of the Lord Jesus, writ ten hundreds of years before He was born? 2. About a man who was bitten by a poisonous viper but was unharmed? 3. The .story of an angel, of a man, and of a beast that talked? 4. About an earthquake that opened a prison door to let God’s servants out? A Fable m a n w a s complaining of his neigh bors. “I never saw such a wretched set of people,” he said, “as there are in this village. They are mean, selfish, greedy of gain, and careless. Worst of all, they are forever speaking evil of one another.” “Is it really so ?” asked an angel who happened to be walking with him. “It is indeed!” said the man. “Why, only look at this fellow coming toward us. I know his face, though I cannot tell you his name. See his little sharp cruel eyes, darting here and there like a ferret’s, and the lines of covetousness about his mouth. The very droop of his shoulders is mean and cringing, and he slinks along instead of walking.” “It is clever of you to see all this,” said the angel, “but there is one thing which you do not perceive.” “What is that?” asked the man. “Why, that is a looking glass we are approaching,” said the angel. — Peloubet’s Notes. Y our V ery Own C orner O u r S a v io u r ’ s L ove e a l l should love our Saviour, For all our sins He died. We all should trust our Saz/iour, For He is always at our side. There are many times we go astray, Still we can go to Him in prayer, And He will place us on our way, To love and praise Him everywhere. So if we want eternal life We should stand for Him as strong as a sword, Which we shall do in the coming life, For He is our only Lord.

You will find above a text of three words, if you will draw straight lines from point to point, from letter to let ter, and from the rim to the center of the circle. A Child’s A nsw er l it tl e girl had been listening to a sermon about being “filled with all the fulness of God.” The minister went home to dinner with the family, and the child went to him and said, “I would like to be filled with all the fulness of God.” The minister replied, “You are such a little girl. You wouldn’t hold much, would you?” “Well,” came the reply, “I could spill over a lot.”
