The life of each grain of wheat does not cease to exist, but is simply
separated from the seed or grain which was sown in the ground, and lives
in the new plant and new grain which springs up. So also when the life
or the soul leaves the body, the body is dead, because it is separated
from the soul. In like manner also, if the soul is separated from God,
the Bible speaks of the individual as being spiritually dead, even while
yet living in this world. Now, if because of sin any soul that is
banished forever from God's presence, and is eternally separated from
God in the next world, that eternal separation of the soul from God is
spoken of in the Bible as eternal death.

From this eternal death you and I can only be delivered by the blood of
the Son of God. Jesus Christ is our Passover Lamb. Neither is He a dead,
but a living Savior.

          "He ever lives above,
             For me to intercede;
           His all-redeeming love,
             His precious blood to plead;
           His blood atoned for all our race,
           And sprinkles now the throne of grace."

          QUESTIONS.--What was the tenth plague? How were
          the homes of the Israelites to be marked, so that
          the angel of death would pass over them? How old
          was the lamb to be that was to be slain? What was
          to be done with the body of the lamb? When they
          ate it, how were they to be clothed? (So as to be
          ready to start immediately upon their journey.)
          What did the angel of death do where the door
          posts were sprinkled with the blood? What was the
          event called? (The Passover.) What people continue
          to celebrate the Feast of the Passover today? Of
          whom was the slain lamb the symbol? What is Christ
          frequently called? From what does the blood of the
          Lamb of God save us?




PINE BRANCH.

THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES.

          SUGGESTION:--The objects used are a green branch
          of a tree and a glass of clear water.


DEAR YOUNG FRIENDS: Last Sunday I told you about the Feast of the
Passover, how it came to be instituted, and what it signified. To-day I
want to talk to you about the Feast of Tabernacles. The Feast of the
Passover occurred in the spring, nearly corresponding to our Easter; and
at such times when the Israelites from every quarter of the land came up
to Jerusalem, as was the custom at the three annual feasts, some
provision had to be made for their entertainment.
