Children's sermons
A little girl surprised her father by asking him the question, "What
is God's address?" The father, wishing to teach his little child a
lesson, said, "1421 Grand Avenue." It was the number of their own
house he had given. He meant to say to her, "God is living here with
us." Both God and the little girl had the same address. The cup of
their home was gold inside also. Martin Luther had the same thought
in his mind when once a stranger knocked at his door and said, "Who
lives here?" Luther replied, "God and Martin Luther." If we can say
this of our hearts, "Jesus and I live in the same heart together," we
shall be able to stand when the great day comes when evil things will
be opened up and broken up.
Remember the Kaiser's Cup.

HOW TO MAKE A RAG MAP
OBJECT: A Map of Palestine Constructed with Pieces
of Rags=
Here is another way of teaching children sacred geography.
It is a map of the Holy Land made of pieces of canton flannel cut out
into various forms and put together in map form before the class.
Secure a piece of black canton flannel or dye it black if it cannot
be secured in that color. Mount it on a frame with the rough finished
side on the front, giving it a slight tilt backward. Make this
background as large as you desire, the larger the better, and make
all the figures herein mentioned of the same material and put the
rough side of each figure against the background, pressing down the
figure and smoothing it out with the hand, and it will stay in its
place without the use of pins or tacks. The fact that it stays put
develops a great degree of interest in the little folks, and they
will watch you with big eyes of curiosity. In building this rag map
first cut out a number of strips about one inch wide, and with these
make the coast-line.
After this cut out strips of blue representing the water ways and put
them in their proper places. After this cut out a number of pointed
pieces about five inches to the peak. These will represent the
mountains. Put these in their respective places. Now cut out a number
of square red pieces about two inches square, and cause these to
represent the cities and put them in their proper locations.
After this much of the map is finished drill the children in the
location of the rivers, mountains, and cities. Let them put the
figures in their proper places and build that part of the map
themselves. After this teach them the Bible history of each locality.
Cut out a star in yellow, put this over Bethlehem, and tell them the
Christmas story. Put a red cross over Jerusalem, and call it the
Crucifixion City, and tell them the story of the Cross. Now make a
flat form of a water-pot and place it next to the city of Cana and
tell the story of the first miracle.
Next cut out in brown a small ladder and place it next to Bethel.
Tell the story of Jacob and his dream.
