In presenting this bundle say: "You will note it is tied together by
a scarlet cord. This teaches us that, as in the days of old when the
spies were let down from the windows of the house on the wall in the
days of Rahab and thus made their escape, so the scarlet thread of
salvation binds us together and holds us to the throne of God, and we
are safe indeed. We are kept in the hollow of his hand. This cord is
the first thing we note because we must seek Jesus and his salvation
first. We must seek first the kingdom, and all else shall be added.
Let us see what has been added as we unwrap the bundle and look it
over.
"First we find _the Bible_. When this is taken into our life it
becomes a radiant lamp. This book is a flaming torch lighting the
way. We will never lose our way if we walk in this light. This Book
in life's bundle produces a Bible life. This creates the Master
Christian."
Next produce the cross. This stands for the fact that we trust daily
in the atoning work of the Cross of Jesus. Now bring out the white
goods which stands for Peace. The flag of peace waves from over the
door of every Christian heart; peace through the Cross of Christ.
Next display the card with the words "My Soul" marked on it. This
teaches the idea that all these wonderful qualities are soul deep and
therefore will go with you into the other life.
At last produce the card containing the word "God" marked on it. This
teaches the fact that if God be in us and with us, wrapped up in us,
we are safe for both worlds.
What will the angels do with this bundle? They will carry it through
the gates, for the soul is in it, and the soul goes up to God. Now
make your personal application and say: "We are all packing up our
Bundle of Life; may we all make it The Christian's Bundle.
"Do the first thing first, and do it now. Cling to the scarlet
thread. Remember Jesus is standing at the door. He is waiting for you
to open wide the heart's door. Let him come in, and he will shut the
door after him, and when once he shuts the door, no man can open it.
You are safe forever more. You are wrapped up as if in a bundle with
God. Do it _now_.
"So you will note there are two Bundles of Life. Which is yours?"

THE NORTH POLE OF THE BIBLE
OBJECTS: A Pole Painted White Standing Erect on the
Platform with a Scripture Reference on It. Also
a Red-and-White Cardboard Heart.=
The North Pole has been discovered at last. This is an achievement
which history will record in large headlines.
The names of Nansen, Kane, Amundsen, Scott, and Peary and others are
engraven on golden tablets in the World's Hall of Fame. These famous
men now wear the crown of achievement. Through fields of ice they
plowed, enduring the rigors of the long Arctic winters, suffering the
pangs of hunger and loneliness, but with iron wills and nerves of
steel they pressed on and won out.
