last plague? After the death of the first-born,
did he allow the Children of Israel to go? After
they started, what did he do? How did God enable
the Children of Israel to cross the Red Sea? When
Pharaoh followed into the sea after them, what
occurred? Should we always keep our covenants,
both with God and men? If we do not keep our
covenants, whom are we like? Will we also be
punished?

BLOOD.

THE FEAST OF THE PASSOVER.

SUGGESTION:--The object used is a bottle of red
ink to represent blood.

CHILDREN OF THE COVENANT-KEEPING KING: Last Sunday I talked to you about
Pharaoh, as the great covenant-breaking king. I showed you some paper

but to talk about something else which is of the same color; namely, of

had yet in store one great plague which He purposed to bring upon
Pharaoh and his people. After each of these plagues which I have named,
Pharaoh promised that he would let the Children of Israel go, but
instead he hardened his heart and refused to keep his promise. At last
God was going to bring upon him and his people the greatest plague of
all. (Ex. xii: 1-28.)

God told Moses and Aaron to command the Children of Israel that on the
tenth day of the month, each family should select either a lamb or a kid
and shut it up until the fourteenth day, and in the evening of that day
they should kill it. This was to be a male lamb, one year old, and
