What did I tell you the first five books in the Bible are called? (Books of Law.) What is the color of the ribbon for those books in our rainbow bookmark? Let us see how many of our memory texts belong with the red ribbon. Where is the verse that tells about the creation of the world? (Genesis 1:1.) Where is the verse that tells what God gave Adam to do in the Garden of Eden? (Genesis 2:15.) There was one about Noah—where will we find that? (Genesis 6:22.) And one about the rainbow—(Genesis 9:13). All these are in the first book—the book of Genesis, and because that is one of the books of the Law I will give you a red slip to mark the place of each of those verses. What was the verse about hiding from God? That verse was in the book of Jeremiah. Let me tell you how to find it. Open the Bible in the middle. What book is there? (Psalms.) Now turn to the right and you will find first Proverbs, then Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon and Isaiah, and then comes the book we are looking for—Jeremiah. Turn through the chapters until you find the 23d, and the 24th verse of that chapter. This book belongs in a group of five that are called books of the Major Prophets and they are marked by the green ribbon. (Give the children a green slip and let them put it in as a mark for the memory text in Jeremiah.) What was the verse about love? That is in one of the books of the New Testament. If you take the part of your Bible that is to the right of Jeremiah and open that part in the middle and then take the right hand little part and open that in the middle, you will find you have 1 Corinthians. Then you can find the 13th chapter and the 4th verse. The ribbon for these books, which are called Letters, is violet, so we will put a violet slip in to mark the place of this memory text. (The only other text which they have had is Hebrews 11:8a, c. They can find that by turning to the right from 1 Corinthians, and that may also be marked by a violet strip of paper. Drill by having the children find the verses by subjects.)
