10. "For thine is the kingdom." Produce another double candlestick,
holding first a _purple_ candle standing for the words, "Thine is the
kingdom," and a _white_ candle representing the great white throne,
the seat of God's power, God has power to do all the things we ask of
him in this prayer. We have asked the Father Allpowerful to help us.
He can, and he will. History tells us of Hudson, the navigator, who
was exploring in the arctic regions when his crew mutinied, and they
put him and his son, and one or two sailors into a little boat, and
left them to drift on the cold northern waters until death came and
released them from all their hardships. The boat was found, months
later, floating among the icebergs of the frozen Arctic Ocean. The
father was in an upright position, as if steering the boat, with his
little son between his knees, both frozen to death. You could see, by
the tightened hand, how he had grasped the handle of the rudder, and
by the terrible stare in his frozen eyes, what a determined man he
was, but his face was full of despair and woe. He had not been able
to save his son. Our Father has power to save all that come unto him,
and power to keep them until the end.
11. "And the glory forever and ever." This sentence is represented by
the _orange_ candle. The _orange_ color stands for the glory of God,
as it is the dominant color in the glorious sunset from which shines
forth the glory of God. The great painters of the Middle Ages
represented the flame in the "burning bush" as being orange in color,
which in their day was understood to stand for Jehovah. This last
sentence is like a great doxology sung at the close of the prayer. It
is like a grand organ chanting a loud "Amen." And now here we have
the truth of the Lord's Prayer shining. No prayer is so full of
divine radium as The Lord's Prayer. It is composed of sixty-six
words, but this congress of words contains might and glory that have
never before appeared in so many words. These sixty-six words are
Holy Chapel Bells which call the world to prayer.

HOW GOD COVERS MY SINS
OBJECTS: Two Large Prepared Cards=
How to get rid of our sin! This has been the question of the ages.
The answer can be given in a second. "They must be taken away."
Jesus, the Sin-bearer, must take them away if they are to be taken
away to stay.
When the Standard Oil Company was trying to refine petroleum there
was a substance they could not dispose of. It was black and sticky.
They could not burn it, it would not burn; it made a mighty stench.
They could not run it into the river, because it would kill the fish.
So they offered a big reward to any chemist who could solve the
problem.
Chemists took it and worked day and night on the problem. One day, a
chemist walked into the office of John D. Rockefeller and laid down a
pure white substance which we now know as paraffin.
