at would
they be called if they hoarded up all they could
get? Should we always use all our money in the
fear of God?

After the conclusion of the services and after
"driving home from church", introduce some other
interesting features so as to make the day
sacredly impressive.

THE CHART.

AVOIDING THE DANGERS.

SUGGESTIONS:--Objects: A geography, or detached
maps will serve to show that the portions of the
earth which are under the water are quite like the
portions of the earth which are above the water.
Islands are only mountain summits or elevations.

"Drive to church", have the ushers show different
real or imaginary persons to seats, have the
little sermon and service precede the reading of
the following object sermon.

MY LITTLE MEN AND WOMEN: We are all travelers. Now when a traveler
starts out upon a journey he always desires to have in his possession
one of these things which I hold in my hand. I know you will recognize
it at once, and say that it is a map. This map tells you the name of the
country; it shows you where there are mountains, where there are rivers,
where there are valleys, where there are cities, and shows you the
entire United States of America. In traveling through a strange country,
if you do not have a map, you might be lost upon the mountains, or your
journey would be obstructed by the rivers which you could not cross, and
in various ways you would find it absolutely necessary to have a map.

Now, when a traveler goes out upon the sea, it is just as necessary that
he should have a map, or what the sailors call a chart, as it is for the
traveler upon the land. The chart which the sea captain has, shows the
mountains and the valleys and the rivers which are in the sea; for these
exist in the sea, as well as upon the land. The rocks, against which
ships are sometimes dashed to pieces, are simply the tops of high
mountains that come very near to the surface of the sea; and the captain
without a chart, not knowing where they are, is likely to run against
them with his ship. The islands are simply the tops of these mountains,
that rise higher above the water, and form a place of abode for man; and
we call them islands, because they are very much smaller
