Before the meeting secure nine envelopes, commercial size, and on
each draw in large outlines one of the letters in the word Salvation.
Before the meeting place these letters in various parts of the Bible.
Holding the open Bible in your hand, you say: "I have now opened the
Mail-bag from God, and find nine letters for you. The first letter
you take from the Bible you find in Genesis, and it is the letter
'S.'" Give this to the child who takes the first place in the line.
Explain that the message which you wish them to remember is the
message of the Ark. Eight souls were saved in this big ship. All were
invited, only those who accepted were saved. All who did accept were
safely delivered into the new world. During the voyage they just
trusted God. He fed them as he did the widow with her cruse of oil
and little portion of meal. The supply was given each day according
to their need.
God will take care of you. God will supply all your need. This is the
message of "S." It is a lesson in salvation. Now produce the letter
"A" from Genesis containing the story of Joseph. Give this to some
child who now takes his place next to the child with the letter "S."
The message God gives from this story is that Truth wins out at last.
Joseph, hated, sold in slavery, because of false accusation cast into
prison, but at last elevated to the throne, did not forget the home
folks. These are great facts to be remembered because they were steps
upward. Because he was true to God, he found his feet at last walking
in the golden way of true success. That is the message of the letter
"A." This is a story of salvation.
Return to the Mail-bag, and draw out the letter "L" from the book of
Daniel. Give that to the child next in line. This is a letter from
Daniel, and his message is always dare to stand firm for God. When
away from your home as was Daniel, don't be ashamed to let people
know that you pray. Daniel prayed before the open window because he
was not ashamed to be seen talking to God. He faced the lions as well
as the people, and God gave him the victory over both, and his
testimony counted one hundred per cent, because he was a real servant
of the Most High God, and this is another story of salvation.
