them. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall
the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst
of the Throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains
of water; and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes." (Rev. vii:
14-17.)

If in our sickness, or sorrow, or disappointment here upon the earth, we
are sad or lonely, let us remember that in the happy home to which we go
we shall be forever with the Lord, and that all tears shall be wiped
away, and that we shall be happy forever and ever on high. It is only
through these tribulations that you and I can be prepared to enter
heaven. If God were to give us everything we want, like children who are
indulged, we would soon be spoiled and would not be fit for the
enjoyment of heaven or the companionship of the angels.

QUESTIONS.--What is rough stone used for? Does the
stone have feeling? If it had feeling, would it
object to being cut and chiselled and polished?
Could it be used in a great building unless it was

do this? Who composed the great multitude whom
John saw in the glorious city? What had happened
to them? What should we remember in times of
sickness and sorrow? Why are trials necessary to
fit us for heaven? Will we be in the presence of
God there and have angels as our companions?

ROPES.

HABITS AND HOW THEY BECOME STRONG.

SUGGESTIONS:--Objects to be used are a spool of
thread, a piece of string or twine and a piece of
rope.

After the sermon has been read, the thread and
strings could be used to tie the hands and feet,
and thus illustrate how impossible it is to break
them when they are wound again and again around
the hands and the feet, even though the thread be
very fine. So with habits, seemingly
insignificant.

MY DEAR BOYS AND GIRLS: I have to-day a piece of rope, and also some
different kinds of string. If I take this rope and try to break it, I
find that it is impossible. I do not believe that any five or six
ordinary men could pull with s
