log tie man who was carried by his friends
before Christ While the Masters enemies

his feet as though dead and the Saviour
bus touched him with his hand and he
was made well. Chris. first cast out the

.,-..... IN THE TEMPLE
A return was made to the haunts OF
men when Christ was pictured teaching
in the temple. The scene showed the
bringing in OF the woman OF sin before
Jesus by the Ptarisees. Under the law
o! Moses she Should be stoneI 10 death but
in that degenerate age the statutes were
useless. -a -
- IN the next illustration the woman had
huniblcd herself before her protector He
bade her sin no niore. Christ speaks words
OF hope to evidoers. He Is the siuner's only
real savior aud friend. .--
A beautiful scene in colors represented
the rising OF the sun On the Mount of Olives.
Cbrist's splcndor was like unto it, DIR.
Johnston said. His light, as that of the
sun, shines for all the world.
The healing or the bceYar was repre-
scnted I'D an interesting scene laid in the
temple. The miracle was performed on the
Sabbath day, but Jesus asserted his right
to Go acts of sgStiress ON the day Of rest.
Works of charity and good deeds are noble
moments in every day.
DR.. Johnston closed with the picture OF
the woman hupt:na Tor the lost coin.
