that believeth In me, though he were
dead. yet shall he live" We should first
understand what the passage means.
To do thia we must study the raising
OF Lazarus. Just two miles east VI
Jerusalem was the home of the two
sisters and II brother. The home
under Whose roof Jesus loved to stay.
Tho beloved brother stckcncd nnd was
nigh unto death. and then they sent
for Jesus. They sent n messenger, 80

dead, and was laid in the grave. Je-
sus had told the messenger that the
sickness was nor unto death. No Won

have been shaken. Burt Jesus spake
ana Lazarus came forth-shnw!nE that

One OF the srandest lessons we can draw
from this passage b. how Jesus was
misunderstood. He was found fault
with. no difference what he did. We
find faul: -Sith him to-day. We do not
place ourselves where he can use US,
We must take him as he is. and be-

do and h. VIII be- sure TO do II.

Mrs. Calvert spent the rest OF the

promptly answered by the children. All
the children then went 10 the grassy
slope JUST below the tabernacle. where
they had their pictures taken by Mr..
