them pass the pictures which tell how
the earth began and how it has strug-
Eled and is struggling upward to the
light. They sit entranced, for, as the
drama OF dramas unfolds, the voice Of
the hidden, mechanical lecturer,
speaking in tones Of eloqueuce and
might, explains clearly each picture.

We see the stately cities OF antiquity

Most interesting of all perhaps IS
the depletion and description Of Bib
lical scenes. We tremble with Isaac
in fear as we behold his father Abra-
ham about TO sacrifice him, an offer
ing to the Most High; we stand with
Moses at the court OF Pharaoh and see
the rod changed into the serpent; we
look with the prophets longing eyes
at the promised land, and we enter
therein with Joshua and his warriors.
So through the eras of scripture we
pass until we come to the days of the
Savior, when He walked in meek hu-
nility on earth and worked the mir
aoles which attested His power We
see Him lonely in Getasemans and
enter with Him triunphantIy into Je-
rusalem We suffer with Him on Col

mother at the tomb. It is all most
