n we see, hear, smell, or feel the power in the
magnet? Why do we believe it is there? Are there
influences around us like the power in the magnet?
Can they all be seen? Will the paper between the
magnet and the needle destroy the attracting power
of the magnet? Who are like the needle? Like whom
is the magnet? Does He guide us? Can we see Him?
Are we free to do as we choose? When will God lead
us? Do some people defy God? Do we always know
what is best for us, or what to do when in
trouble? Who does know? By what three means does
God guide us?

FISH IN AQUARIUM.

THE ALL-SEEING EYE OF GOD.

SUGGESTION:--Object: A small aquarium with a few
small fishes.

MY DEAR YOUNG FRIENDS: I have here an aquarium with a few very pretty
goldfishes in it. As they swim from side to side they look very

hand upon this side or the other, they dart very quickly to the opposite
side of the aquarium. They try to get out of sight, but it makes no

aquarium, I can see them just as well. I can look right through the
aquarium; I can see through the glass, and I can see through the water.
And wherever the fishes are in this aquarium, I can see them. It is
impossible for them to hide away, or to get out of my sight.

see us just as well in one place as in another. He can see us in the
night just as well as in the daytime, for "the darkness and the light
are alike unto Him." David said, "He that keepeth Israel shall neither
slumber nor sleep." (Psalm cxxi: 4.) So it makes no difference whether
you are in the house or out of doors, whether it is day or whether it is
night, God can see right through the house, just as you and I can look
through this aquarium and through the water, so God can see right
through the thick walls of a house, or even through a great mountain. If
you were in the valley beyond the mountain, God could see right through
the mountain; that would make no difference. He can even see w
