tian knows this, for the Bible tell
them to ASK, and We shall receive.
So he told the mother that the mea
should not waste, neither shoult
the curse of oil fail, and they die
not, for the story reads, "She an
he, and her house, did eat man,
days. And the meal wasted not
neither did the cruise of oil fail"
Then there was another prophet
Elisha, who told a woman how t.
get the money to pay her debts
The man to whom she owed tht
money was going to take her tw'
sons and make them work to pa,
this big debt. OF course, the moth
er felt very sorry that her son.
would have to work hard to pay he
debt. Elisha asked her if she ha.
anything to eat in the house. Sh
said Nothing save pot of oil" anC
then he told her to send out an'
borrow empty vessels OF all he
neighbors. You see. the mother wa
obedient to the prophets word ant
she had her reward, for all tn
vessels that she had borrowed fror
her neighbors were filled with oil
which she sold, and she paid all he;
debts. It is right for every one &c
pay his or her own debts, is it not,
children?
If every one knew Elijah's and
Elisha's and Christ Jesus God.--and
there is only one God-there
wouldn't be anybody in debt. would
there? If everybody knew that the
God of Elijah and Elisha and Chris.
Jesus was their God and their low
ing Father, no one would be wor-
ried about debts and there would be
no hungry people and no starving
children. I think, children, if Elijah
and Elisha were here today, they
could feed all the hungry little and
big children here and in Europe, and
l know, ! really do know that Christ
Jesus could. I think that all the
earthly fathers and mothers and
everybody had better find God and
He will feed all His little and big
children. do you not7
Christ Jesus and his disciples
knew that If people would be
healthy and happy, they must love
God and love each other, because
God is the Father and Mother. or
creator, Of every one and of every

nothing that is not good, so that
anything that is not good is unreal

1ou must love your little brother and

you have. if you wish to be happy.
and make your earthly father and
mother and home happy. As you
grow older you will see. that it there
is but one God, one creator, and
this God is Life and Love. that every
one must be your brother or sister
and you must love them. because
God is Life and Love, and He made
them like Himseif,-good. and that
they are all His good children,
whom He made in "His own image"
Even the birds and fishes and ami
mails, the flowers and trees and
mountains. God made and they are
all good, because there is but one
creator, or Father-M other God, and
one real world. God is Life and
Love, and I believe and understand

Christ, that He is the cause or eYea.
