and if we want to be saved
from sin and suffering, we should always be quick to obey our
conscience. Let each of us try and "keep a good conscience."

QUESTIONS.--Can the oyster see or hear? Can it
feel? What often destroys the oyster? What lives
down under the water near the oyster? Can the
little crab see? Can he get away from the fish?
How does he assist the oyster? How does he warn
the oyster of danger? Can boys or girls see sin?
What has God given each of us to warn us of danger
when sin is near? Does every boy and girl have a
conscience? Does conscience always give warning?
Do boys and girls always obey their conscience?
Should conscience always be obeyed? Will you
always try to obey conscience in the future? The
parent may ask additional questions or make
application in any other manner they deem best.

Next Sunday the sermon will be about the worm in
the apple. Let one of the children get a nice,
large, perfect apple, and also another apple which
has been dwarfed and deformed because of a worm
inside the apple. These will be the objects which
we shall use next Sunday.

THE WORM IN THE APPLE.

SIN IN THE HUMAN HEART.

SUGGESTIONS TO PARENTS:--The objects used to-day
are a large perfect apple and a stunted, wormy
apple. Have also a knife with which, at the proper
time, to open the wormy apple. With these
preparations made, let the children "drive to
church" after the manner suggested for last
Sunday.

After the singing of a hymn or two, prayer and
collection, let one of the children, in the manner
of the preacher speaking to his audience, tell in
his own way of the "Oyster and Crab" and of God's
purpose in giving us a conscience, and let him or
her draw the moral lessons and impress the
spiritual truths. Even if it is done in but few
words, or a faltering way, do not embarrass or
discourage by criticisms. Speak words of
encouragement. If preferred, the little sermon may
be a presentation of the sermon preached by the
pastor in the morning, or one child may present
the object sermon of last Sunday and
