Children's sermons
Look and listen--I will tell you where to find it. Secure three large
cardboards and paint on them the word "JOY." One letter on each card,
stand them up on a background where they can be seen by all present.
These letters spell the word "JOY." This is what all the world is
after. The first letter stands for Jesus. The middle letter a cipher
or "nothing." The last letter stands for You. Nothing between Jesus
and you. This is the way to bring real joy to the soul. Most of our
sorrows come from disobedience, and that means that something has
come between the J and Y that will never spell JOY.
Paint on a black card the letter S which stands for Sin. Hang this
card up in the place of O. J.S.Y. will never spell JOY. Sin keeps the
joy from passing from J to Y. Only a short time ago thousands watched
the eclipse of the sun. There was darkness at the last. In some of
the great cities the street lamps were lit because of the darkness
all around. It was because something had come between us and the sun.
It was the moon. It looked like a great O. It shut off the sunlight
for a little season. There was something between. Let nothing come
between you and Jesus and you will find "JOY." The O is a cipher
which means nothing. Nothing between J (Jesus) and Y (You). That
spells JOY. That is the big shop where joy is made.

YE LITTLE OLD FOLKS
OBJECT: A Picture of Verse from an Old Illustrated
Bible Used 100 Years Ago=
A century ago there were but few books for children. Preachers never
thought of a children's sermon, but here is a page which appeared in
a rare old book the children used in that day. It is over a century
old. It illustrates Deuteronomy 5:29. From some picture-book cut out
figures like these to illustrate this Bible verse. Pin them up on
some background which they can see. The journals of the day abound in
interesting pictures. Cut them out and try to teach the children the
Scriptures by pictures they have often seen. It will interest them
greatly as it doubtless did Ye Little Olde Folks. This text is one of
many that has some words in it for which you can substitute a
picture. In fact, the Bible is a picture-book, not simply in the
sense that it tells so many interesting stories about men and women
and children, and tells them in such a taking way, but even where it
is not telling a story, it uses words and sentences that are
pictures, not the less effective because drawn or painted in speech.
This text is such a sentence.
DEUTERONOMY v. 29.
[Illustration: O that there were such an _heart_ in them, that they
would fear me, and keep all my _commandments_ always, that it might
be well with them, and with their _children_ for ever.]
