and the bottom up, the. two bars will come together, making a red cross.) LESSON: This white “I” reminds me of an individual when he is born into the world. His life’s record is clean, but because of his sinful heart it does not remain that way long. Many sins are committed which stain and mar the life. I want to talk to you this morning about one particular sin—stealing. More people are guilty of this sin than we realize. One of the first things which a child steals is something out of his mother’s cupboard. Mothers often forbid chil dren’s eating between meals in order that they may have good appetites at mealtime. We will write the word “FOOD” on this “I” ' with a black crayon. Children have been known to steal money from their mother’s purse, in order that they might buy candy. We will write the word “MONEY” on the «TH ‘ ' Older people have keen known to steal time from their employers, when the boss is not watching. We will write “TIME” on the “ I.” It is possible to steal another per son’s good name, by speaking falsely about him. We will put the ^word “NAME” on the “I.” This “ I” is now' covered with sin. Many forms of stealing have been placed on it. It reminds me of an individual before he is sdved. Even though a person is a thief, if he will humble himself and take Christ as his personal Saviour, this and all other sins will be placed under the blood of Christ. [Fold the “I” as directed.] Now we have a cross with the red, which represents the blood of Christ, covering all our sins.
too, was not always honest. Our les son tells what happened when the people and Zaccheus’ and the Lord Jesus all got together. LESSON STORY: Zaccheus was rich- Probably he got his money by taking more taxes from the people than he should have taken. When he did that, he was really stealing. And Zaccheus was short, too, so that he could not see over the heads of the people. Nobody would help him to a place where he could see better, be cause nobody liked him. So, running ahead of the crowd, Zaccheus climbed into a tree where he could ;get a good view of every thing* Nearer and nearer came the Lord Jesus. Presently He was stand ing right under the tree where Zac cheus sat. Jesus looked up. He could see right into Zaccheus’ 'heart; He knew about the wrong things he had done. But He wanted him to have a clean heart, so He said something like this: “Zaccheus, come down, for today I am going to be with you at your house.” The people were sur prised and perhaps angry. But Zac- oheus obeyed the Lord. He not only asked Jesus to come into his house, and said he would give back to the people all he, had stolen from them, but he took the Lord Jesus into his heart also, and that was the best part of all. The Lord 'Jesus was showing to the people—and to us—that He is the Saviour that everybody needs. OBJECTS: A capital “I” and a black crayon.
