Children's sermons
Cut out a representation of a bottle which you call a "bottle of
oil," and place it near to Jericho, and tell the story of the Good
Samaritan and how the oil was poured into the wounds of the man who
fell among thieves.
Cut out now a representation of a hammer and place it over Nazareth,
and tell the story of the Carpentershop and how Jesus worked in it
while he was learning his trade. Cut out a side view of an altar and
put it on Mount Carmel and tell the story of Elijah and the priests
of Baal.
Cut out a representation of a green tree; place that next to
Gethsemane and tell the story of the prayers of Jesus under the
olive-trees.
Cut out a white representation of a tent and place it by the side of
Hebron and tell the story of Abraham and the Visiting Angels.
Now cut out a number of dark green trees, and place them in the
Mountains of Lebanon in the far north, and tell them the story of the
building of Solomon's Temple, and how they took the timber from these
hills to build the Temple.
Cut out a representation of a one-story Oriental house, and place it
near to Bethany, and tell the story of the Home of Mary and Martha,
the place where Jesus loved to go. After the map is finished take
down these pictures, and ask the children to put them back into their
proper places and tell the Bible story connected with each.
This method of teaching sacred geography you will find to be very
interesting to boys and girls because they are building together.
Here is another use to which you can put the rag method.
If you so desire you can make profile or front-view pictures and tell
more Bible stories with them. Here is a representation of the Ark and
Tower of Babel.
[Illustration]
Put the hull part of the ark in place first, then add to the top, and
later put on the door and window; this will give a fair
representation of the Ark of Noah. The Tower of Babel can be built
this way also.
It is possible to draw line pictures on the smooth side of the
flannel with the oil crayon which is now found in all the stationery
shops at small cost. After the figure has been drawn out cut it into
a number of pieces and put them together on the background to add a
little variety to this method of teaching. Bring all the rags out of
a bag which you call the "Ragged Prophet's Bag." Turn the bag upside
down, allowing all the rags you use to fall out on the table top.
Have the rags you use all pinned together so they will not mix with
the other rags of the bag.
This is how we use rags to teach big ideas. Let's try it.
