White monks and gray nuns live in a fair abbey built of gems and
spices. The ladies are all fair and every month the people all have
new clothes. In this wonderful land there is a bubbling fountain.
Whoever drinks of its waters never grows old, and if those who are
old drink of it they become young and vigorous again, be they ever so
old or ugly. Now I suppose all of the little folks are saying they
would like to live in that land, but I am sure you would find when
you reached there it was not a land of pure happiness. Happiness does
not come from having everything done for you. The wise man was
speaking the real truth when he gave as his secret message that doing
things for others in the name of Jesus was passing through the gates
to the City of Real Happiness.
In preparing for this lesson use a piece of plain writing-paper, with
a match sharpened to a point write in lemon juice "Be a Christian,"
and "Do some good thing for Jesus every day." When it is dry it will
be invisible. When held up to the heat of a lamp it will become
visible so all can read it. In doing this before the class first hold
up the paper before them, showing both sides to be blank. At that
time tell the story of the wise man and blank paper given to the lad,
then hold it before the flame of lamp until the heat has had
sufficient time to bring out the writing. Experiment with this while
preparing the lesson so you can regulate your talking according to
the time it takes to develop the hidden words. There are many other
lessons you can give, using invisible ink, that will teach a strong
lesson. "What Is in the Heart," can be the title of another lesson.
In this case cut out a paper heart, and write the word "Sin" on it.
Call the lamp the Holy Spirit, and show that he brings out just what
is in the heart.
You can also teach the lesson "The Secrets of the Lord Revealed."
Present a piece of paper that seems to be a blank, but it holds a
secret hidden from our human eyes. Call the lamp the Word of God.
Take the paper to the lamp of God's Word. Through that word he
reveals his will to us, so we can read and understand. Lessons will
multiply in your mind, as you think it through, which will be of
great interest to your listeners.

"Lest we forget" sang the old English poet. Well, we do forget
oftentimes some of the worthies of the Old Testament. Perhaps we have
never heard of them, then this lesson will introduce us to them and
help us not to forget them in the days to come.
