There probably will not be anything in the work outlined for this week that the children cannot easily do. It would be well, however, to call their attention to the memory text printed on page 8. Have them pronounce the name of the book from which it is taken, and help them to find the reference and read the words from the Bible. Ask them what the “a” after the reference means, and if they do not know, have them read again the paragraph explaining this on page 3. The easiest way for the children to find the book of Jeremiah when unfamiliar with any of the books is to open the Bible in the middle. The book opened to will be Psalms, which you can explain is the hymn book of the Bible, and then they can turn the leaves to the right until they reach the book of Jeremiah. Tell them that the name is that of the man who wrote the book. LESSON 4 THE CORRELATED LESSON Get the facts of last Sunday’s story briefly from the children, leaving most of the time for the answers to Wednesday’s question in the pupil’s work book concerning what they think Eve should have done when she was tempted to disobey God. Another question which it will be helpful for the children to think through and find an answer to is, After Adam and Eve had disobeyed the heavenly Father, what should they have done right away when they realized the wrong and felt the shame? If each pupil can be brought to see, through thinking it out for himself, that the only possible help for one who has done wrong comes from God, and that Adam and Eve should have gone to God to confess their sin and ask forgiveness instead of trying to hide from him, the conclusion will point its own moral and each child will make his own application. See how many know the memory text and the name of the book in which it is found. If there is time, read to the children Psalm 139:7-12, letting them follow you with the Bible open before them. Ask all to read softly with you, each making it his own prayer, verses 23 and 24.
