bOlueu 16NL, ne bOIu is my
keeper" Every lesson of the quarter
illustrates the great truth that God
will keep in prosperity and happiness
those that obey him, while those that
disobey him are lost. This aspect of
the lessons may be exhibited thus:
JEHOVAH THE KEEPER OF HIS
PEOPLE.
Lesson I. Kcpt-in a great peril.
(Sennacherib's invasion)
H. Kept-in the hour of death.
(Hezekiah's prayerD
ILL., Kept--by Christ's sacrifice.

" Kept-in joy and plenty. lisa
iah's vision continued.)

prayer. (Manasseh)

reform. Josiah)
VII. Kept-through love of Gods
word (Josiah)
VIII. Lost-through scorn of Gods
word. (Jehoiakim)

ana the capuvltyD
XI. Kept-by the water of life.
(Ezeliiels vision)
XII. Kept-in the midst of tempta-
tion. (Daniel)
For use in primary classes this
thought may be illustrated simply, yet
effectively. White the names "HeZe.
kiah" and Isaiah" and draw many ar
rows flying toward them, to represent
Sennacherib's attack. Draw around
the two names circle to represent
Gods protection against the arrows,
in answer to their prayers. Similarly
represent the characters of the other

represent the dungeon also. In Les.
sons VIII. and Y. the circle will be bro

can get in.
