Lesson: These slips of paper represent the pleasures of the world. On this laven der one, the word “Shows” is written. As it is pulled out, the color changes. It is black! The pleasures of the world are false and lead to sin. Written on this slip we find, “Unclean Thoughts, Unclean Life, and Crime.” The heart is left empty. The orange is marked “Card Playing.” This pleasure, too, is false, leading to gam bling, dishonesty, and other sins. The heart is still empty. (Place the orange in front of the lavender.) The purple slip is marked "Smoking.” It leads to uncleanness, a dull mind, ill health, and an empty heart. Green represents “Dancing.” It leads to sin, sor row, and many times to divorce, and the heart is still empty. “Whiskey” is written on the blue slip. It leads to drunkenness, broken homes, sorrow, and an empty heart. The white card is marked “The Christian Life.” The red cross on it reminds us of Christ’s death. Written on it are the words, “Love, Joy, Peace, and Happiness.” The heart is filled with a star, which reminds us of Christ, “the bright and morning star.” Unsaved people often think that Chris tians do not get much out of life, but notice that this slip is twice as long as it appears. The back is yellow, telling us of the golden streets of the heavenly city. Christians are not only happy now, but they also will be happy throughout eternity.

Holy Spirit may come and dwell. What good care we should take of it then! And there is another thing that the people who belong to God should remember. We not only should keep our body clean and pure, but we also should be a good example to others. Perhaps there is something that you may do which would not harm you, but that same thing might be harmful for an other person to do. If they see you do it, they might decide to do it, too. The Bible calls this putting a stumbling-block in your brother’s way. As a good follower of Christ, you must not do "any thing where by thy brother stumbleth." Objects: Five pieces of stiff black paper, two and one-quarter inches wide by six in ches long, and a piece of white paper the same width, twelve inches long. (Cover two and one-quarter inches of the top of each black piece with differently colored paper. Paste a red cross on the white strip, and cover the back of the white with yel low. Fold the white to make it the same length as the black strips. Arrange the strips side by side, extending from an en velope four inches deep by twelve inches long, opened across the top, allowing the colored ends to show. Cut a heart-shaped hole near the bottom of each black slip. Label with white ink as described.) Object Lesson T h e P leasures of th e W orld Acts 8:14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: 15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: 16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) 17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. 18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles* hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, 19 Saying, Give me also this power, that oh whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. 20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money per ish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. 21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this mat ter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. 22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, BLACKBOARD LESSON 'FUERMGOODGIFTADDEUERy PERFECTGIFT IS FROm ■ft&OPE”j«.i:,7 m H "HOL4GUOS' 'FAITH rllS-SOA" GflL 5.22 JOHfl y.\t>

of wrecked vessels. The whole edifice is a combination of bulkheads and bulwarks, of lockers and cabins. . . . But in one of our far inland towns there is a beautiful house. The grounds around whisper of paradise. The proprietor lies upon a bed of ivory and stretches himself upon his couch; eats the lambs out of the flock and the calves out of the midst of the stalls; drinks wine in bowls, and anoints himself with the chief ointments. And this house is built of wrecks. Every board and every brick, every stone and every timber, every piece of fur niture, and every appliance of comfort, the carpets on the floor, the frescoes on the ceil ing, are each in whole or in part the frag ments of a wreck—a wreck, not of a ship, but of a home, a life, a soul! The owner of this mansion is the owner also and keeper of a drinking saloon. —The Sunday School Times. When Jesus Spoke I P eter 1:1; 2:li; 12 Memory Verse: “Speak that which is good” (1 Ki. 22:13). Approach: Today, instead of talking about Peter and what he did for the Lord Jesus, we are going to talk about some of the things which a follower of Christ should and should not do. Lesson Story: In

Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me. 25 And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jeru salem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.

many places in the Bible we are told to take good care of our bodies. Do you remember the story of Daniel and how he and his three friends refused to eat the rich, unhealthy
food which the king commanded, and how God blessed them because of this and how Daniel and his three friends were the healthiest and wisest of the young men? In another place in the Bible, our body is called a "temple.” Now a temple is a holy place built where we may meet and worship God. Our body is a place where God's 5 -Division
