This candle represents the angry man, the man with the ungovernable temper. With a good rasp, file off an ounce from the fire end of a poker. The iron filings produced are perfectly combustible, as may be proved by sprinkling them over the flame of a candle. As they descend into the flame they take fire, each particle burning like a star--producing, in fact, miniature fireworks. [Illustration: THE HOT TEMPER CANDLE] The little shower of sparks will greatly impress the small eyes and will not be forgotten. (See Fig. above.) =SHINING THE LONGEST FOR JESUS= An evangelist was talking to a meeting of children. He illustrated his talk by bringing out a row of candles on a board. A very long candle was at one end and a short candle at the other. Between the long and short candles there were candles of various heights. He said by these candles he wanted to represent the Grandfather, the Grandmother, Father and Mother, and boys and girls, and the baby of the family who had never heard of Jesus until a missionary came, whom he represented by a lighted candle, and then they gave their hearts to Jesus, and from that day loved and served him. He then lit all the candles and said, "The whole family are now shining for Jesus." He then asked which candle represented the Grandmother, the Grandfather, and so on. They all thought the tallest candle would represent the oldest of the family, and said that one must stand for Grandfather. The evangelist said "No, that stands for the baby, the youngest member of the family," and then said, "Do any of you know why?" Presently a little fellow piped out, "I know why, he has the chance to shine the longest for Jesus." That was a wonderful answer, and it made a great impression on the audience. It was the heart of the lesson, Thus we find a message in the candle. Hear it. See it. =23 THE BEATITUDES IN COLORS OBJECTS: A Number of Colored Ribbons Illustrating the Truth of Each Beatitude= This is a lesson for older heads. It illustrates the opening verses in the Sermon on the Mount. Arrange a number of ribbons upon a cross-piece in the following order. If using ribbons is too costly, cut out strips from cheaper goods of the proper color and use them. 1. Gray. "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Gray is the color of humility, and the poor in spirit are God's humble ones. 2. Black. "Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted." Black is the color of mourning. 3. Violet. "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." Violet is the color of the meek and lowly. 4. White. "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled." White stands for righteousness. 5. Red. "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy." Red is the color of love, and mercy is the fruit of love.
