SUNDAY SCHOOL TALKS
By G.. A. JOLLEY, Supt.

During the last quarter we have
learned OF the fulfillmcnt of Gods
promise to restore His people to their
own land. Our study closed with the
message OF Malachi, who forctold the
coming OF prophet of the Character
and Appearance OF Elijah. This fore
runner should prepare the way for a
great rcStorcr of an cxilcd humanity.
-Four hundred years after the utter
ancc OF Malachi there came the angel
&c announcement OF the birth of a
child who should herald the birth of
the coming Christ
Our lesson Sunday was about the
birth and parentage of the forerunner,
John the Baptist. Zacharis had long
prayed for son, but had lost hope,
and when the Angel Gabriel appeared
while he was in the temple fulfilling
a sacred duty and said "Your PRAYERS
are Heard, you shall have Joy and
gladncss for a son shall come to bless
your home, Zacharias was dumbfound
ed and until after the birth of John
the Baptist was dumb and could not
relate his experience his friends as
he came from the temple except by
signs.
This dumbness was brought about
on account Of his lack of faith. Is it any
wonder in our feeble minds, that he
was struck dumb for unbelief?
We of SO little faith, what would
happen if an angel should appear to
us with such messages?
Next Sunday we study about the
birth and childhood of Jesus, and about
the trip he took after his twelfth birth
day.

ing some good work.
