Feast of Tabernacles held? How long did it last?
In what did the people live or dwell during the
Feast? Of what were the booths built? Why did they
dwell in booths instead of in their houses at this
time? Of what was all this to remind them? Which
was the great day of the Feast? On this last day
of the Feast what did the high priest bring from
the well? By whom was the priest accompanied? Into
what did he pour the water from the golden bowl?
Of what was this water the symbol? Does every
human being thirst for or desire righteousness?
Did Jesus invite such to come to Him and drink?
Should we always go to Him to satisfy our
spiritual hunger and thirst?

LEAVES.

THE LESSONS WHICH THEY TEACH.

SUGGESTION:--Objects: Some autumn leaves or green
leaves of different varieties.

MY DEAR BOYS AND GIRLS: To-day I picked up these few beautiful leaves,
which during the summer were lifted aloft on the trees and cast their
grateful shadows upon the weary traveler as he journeyed under the
scorching rays of the sun. But with the coming of autumn these leaves
have faded, and the first frost of winter has tinged them with crimson
and glory. I am sure we cannot look upon them without thinking of the
words of the Prophet Isaiah, in the sixty-fourth chapter and sixth
verse, where he says: "We all do fade as a leaf."

[Illustration: Autumn Leaves.]

I desire, however, to use these leaves to teach you not only this
lesson, but also several others which they suggest.

If, during the summer, you go out into a forest and study the leaves,
one of the first things which you will notice will be that the leaves
which grow upon one kind of trees differ from the leaves which grow
upon every other kind of trees. Indeed, if you pick up a leaf from the
ground and examine it carefully you will find that the leaf is largely a
picture of the tree upon which it grew. The shape of the leaf will
correspond very largely with the shape of the tree from which it has
fallen. If you study the leaf more carefully you will discover that the
veins in the leaf will quite closely resemble the shape of the limbs of
the tree. You would not be able to study the different leaves which you
pick up without being impressed with the resemblance in many instances
between the leaf and the tree upon which it g
