QUESTIONS.--What does Easter commemorate? Is a
          dead body actually the person you knew? What has
          become of the soul? What do we commemorate on Good
          Friday? Of what are Easter eggs the symbol? What
          does the shell represent? What does the inside
          represent? Will the bodies of all who have died be
          raised some day? Who tells us this? What will God
          do with the risen bodies? What will become of the
          good? What of the wicked? Do we know how God will
          gather the scattered parts of the body? Does it
          make any difference whether we know how or not? Is
          anyone likely to refuse God's summons on the
          Judgment Day? Do we always obey Him now? When in
          doubt what question should we ask ourselves?

CROWNS.

THE CHILDREN OF THE KING.

          SUGGESTION:--Objects: A crown of leaves or paper,
          or of both.


BOYS AND GIRLS: I have to-day two or three crowns, and I want to talk to
you about those who are children of the King.

[Illustration: A Crown of Leaves.]

[Illustration: A Jewelled Crown.]

First of all, I have here a crown which is made of leaves. This was the
first kind of crown ever used. Three thousand years ago or more, those
who excelled in strength, or running, or wrestling, or in any of the
games which were common then, received a crown like this, which was
placed upon their heads. This was regarded as a very great honor.
Afterward, the kings of the earth began to use crowns. Their crowns were
made of gold and set with costly jewels. These they wore on state
occasions to indicate their high rank and position. Here is a crown made
of gilt paper and set with a few silver-paper stars, meant to represent
the crowns which kings and queens wear. While this crown is only made of
paper, the crowns of kings and queens are made of gold, set with many
costly stones. Besides the larger jewels in the crown of King George V.
of England, there are also sixteen sapphires, eleven emeralds, nearly
three hundred pearls, and some twenty-eight hundred very costly
diamonds, and it is estimated to be worth many millions of dollars.
