re going, of social
drinking, of round dancing, lying, swearing, cheating, and all forms of
wickedness, and then remember that these same influences, if wrought
into your life, will also produce the same result. Do not be like the
foolish mouse, which sees its dead companion in the trap, and then walks
up unthinkingly and pokes his head into the same inevitable death and
destruction; but remember that Satan waits to destroy you, just the same
as he has destroyed others.

In the book of Job (xviii: 10) it says, "The snare is laid for him in
the ground and a trap for him in the way;" and in the 8th verse of the
same book and chapter it says, "He is cast into a net by his own feet,
and he walketh upon a snare." Satan has laid traps and snares all along
your path through life, and you will need to be very, very cautious,
lest you are ruined for time and destroyed for eternity. Remember the
text for to-day, which says, "Among my people are found wicked men; they
lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men."

QUESTIONS.--What are traps for? Are there
different kinds of traps? Is a trap a dangerous
thing? Does a dangerous trap always look
dangerous? Are there traps set for boys and girls,
and men and women? Who sets these traps? What are
some of the traps? How are fish caught? Who tries
to trap and destroy boys and girls, and men and
women? What does Satan sometimes use? When the
mouse sees others caught, what should he do? Does
he run away? Does he go and do the same thing?
Does he suffer the same result? If Satan's traps
destroy others, will they destroy us? Have you
ever seen any persons who were caught in Satan's
traps? Can anybody do wicked things without great
danger?

BREAD.

UNIVERSAL SOUL HUNGER.

SUGGESTION:--Bread, rolls or biscuit can be used
if thought necessary, and these can be used for
refreshments later.

If the children are tired of "driving to church"
in an imaginary carriage, let them drive in an
imaginary sleigh, with imaginary bells, amid
winter scenes.

MY LITTLE FRIENDS: I am sure that every boy and girl in this room knows
what it is to be hungry. It is a part of our childhood experience to
feel hungry almost every day. While the body is growi
