f you want to
awake on that final Easter morning in the likeness of Jesus and be
forever with Him in glory, remember that you must obey God now as Jesus
did when He was upon the earth. If we would be like Jesus in glory, we
must strive to be like Him in all that we do, and I trust that you may
think of this daily. At all times when you are uncertain what it is your
duty to do, ask yourself this question: "If He were in my place, what
would Jesus do?" And then act and do as nearly as possible as you think
Jesus would do under the same circumstances.

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.
