 THE Bible is a universal book. It is applicable to all classes and all 
 countries. The Hindoo of India and the highly civilized Cauca- 
 sian of Europe and America alike find in its teachings a respon- 
 sive cord. It is equally interesting to the children and adults. 
 Where else can be found such fascinating stories as in the 
 pages of this old Book ? Baby Moses in the bulrushes. The innocents 
 pathetic figure of the little Ishmael, left to die by himself in the wilderness, 
 but lifting up his little voice to God and not in vain I Joseph, the loving 
 son and true brother, and David, the shepherd lad who became a great 
 King— what endless charm these stories of real life, when the world was 
 young, hold for the mind and heart of both young and old I A young 
 collegian, writing of a charming, restless boy of nine years, tem.porarily 
 
 under his charge, says, ''I am reading the story of Joseph to H out of 
 
 the Bible. It is wonderful to see the little fellow with his eyes fixed upon 
 me, never speaking, — scarcely moving for as long a time as I choose to read I ' 
 "What entrancing pictures of real life we find in the Bible : Old and 
 young pressing close to the Christ as he sits by the wayside, to win a word 
 of love and blessing from his gracious lips. People of all ages waving their 
 palm-branches and singing Hosannas to the King whom they understood 
 and loved, as he rode in triumph toward Jerusalem. The beloved daughter 
 of Jairus called back from her dreamless sleep by the Master's voice. The 
 healing of the nobleman's boy, and the quick response of the little lad who 
 cheerfully parted with his midday lunch at the word of the great Teacher 
 whom he had doubtless learned to love, These, and many another picture 
 of child life adorn the pages of this greatest of Books, and assure us that the 
 Bible is indeed "for the child," and should therefore be brought easily withia 
 his reach. -^ -^ ^ ,^ ^ 
 
 It follows that any winning and reverent device which may serve to 
 attract young minds and hearts to the priceless truth hidden away in the 
 Holy Book, deserves a welcome, "^ "^ 
 
 Such a device is presented in these pages, where Bible narrative and 
 precept are brought before the eye In symbol form, and the eager, question^ 
 ing mind of the child is led through the pictured word to a real interest in 
 and love for the words which Christ declared are ' 'spirit " and * life." "^

 ** Through the eye to the heart/' has long been a recognized principle 
 in primary teaching. Hence, the use of the blackboard and of everyday 
 objects by primary teachers. The untrained thought must be caught and 
 held, if it is to be directed rightly. Ji ^ J- 
 
 The home is the starting place in the race of life, and the mother is 
 the starter. The old song says truthfully : 
 
 " Baby's skies 
 Are mother's eyes.** 
 As mother frowns or smiles, so does baby. As mother thinks and feels, 
 so does baby, during the most impressible period of his life. Great is the 
 mother's responsibility ! Great is her opportunity I "When she realizes the 
 one or the other, how gladly she hails any help in molding the young lives 
 entrusted to her care ! And there is no such helper as the Word of God. 
 Happy is that home in which it is known and loved and reverenced as 
 being God's own Book! j^ Ji ^ 
 
 But how are the children to become acquainted with its sacred sweet- 
 ness and life-giving power except as the parents introduce it to them ? If 
 father and mother are acquainted with its hidden treasures, and show by 
 word and by deed, that they delight to turn to it for counsel and for com- 
 fort, then the children will in the great majority of cases learn to love and 
 prize it too. ^ J- ^ ^ 
 
 A book largely made up of strong, clear pictures, setting forth through 
 forms of life already known to the children, many of the precepts and 
 promises of the Bible, as well as many of the striking stories told in its 
 pages, can hardly fail to at least assist in making it known to the child. 
 
 The little one who bends his brow in earnest thought over a pictured 
 text, calling upon mother again and again for help, will thenceforth carry 
 a picture in his thought which will help to imprint the words upon his 
 mind, — to come forth perhaps some future day in a time of stress and 
 supply the needed bread of God for his soul's famine ! .^ ^ 
 
 And the mother, — what opportunities are thus afforded her for speak- 
 ing the ** word in season," opening the low door to some rich, sweet truth, 
 or clothing with life the story which is here but outlined ! ^ ^ 
 
 In confident belief that this fascinating volume will prove a safe and 
 strong helper in many a home, leading by pleasant paths to an interest in 
 and love for the Word of God, it is sent forth on its mission. .3* 
 
 *' The paths that lead us to God's throne 
 Are worn by children's feet."

 JOSEPH SOLD BY HIS BRETHREN 
 
 EH OLD, this dreamer cometh." The words were 
 
 spoken by one of a group of men in the fields of 
 
 Dothan. They wore the loose, rough garb of the 
 
 East, and their strong faces were browned by long 
 
 exposure to an eastern sun. 
 
 Come now, therefore," the harsh voices went on, " let 
 
 him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, some 
 
 evil beast hath devoured him; and we shall see what will 
 
 become of his dreams." 
 
 But one of the brothers said, " Let us not kill him, but 
 cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness.'* This was 
 Reuben, one of the sons of Jacob, and he wanted the life of his 
 young brother spared for his old father's sake. And so when 
 young Joseph, the dreamer, and the darling of his father, came 
 near, the hard-hearted brothers seized him and first stripping 
 off the beautiful *' coat of many colors," which had helped to 
 cause their jealousy and ill feeling, they threw him into one of 
 the pits so often found in that country. 
 
 Why had these men learned to hate their young brother, 
 the son of Jacob's old age, and the firstborn of the beautiful 
 R.achel ? More than once Joseph had dreamed strange dreams, 
 which he told in the innocence of his heart. Always the dreams 
 seemed to mean that he would one day be in high honor, and 
 his brothers would bow down to him and serve him. These 
 dreams, and the fondness with which his father looked upon this 
 beloved son, had stirred their hearts to hatred, and they allowed 
 the spirit of envy and jealousy to drive them to thoughts of 
 murder. 
 
 But now a new thought came to one of their number. 
 A company of traveling merchants came in sight, and they 
 
 6 
 
28 
 
 THE BIBLE IN PICTURES 
 
 agreed to sell their brother and let him be carried away into 
 Egypt to be sold as a slave. This was done, and the " dreamer " 
 was taken away from their sight, as they supposed, for all time. 
 
 And now, see how God cares for his children who are 
 true to him, as Joseph was. Sold as a slave to Potiphar, a high 
 officer of King Pharaoh's, he soon became a trusted servant, 
 and his heathen master saw and believed that " the Lord was 
 with him." He even found that he himself was blessed and 
 prospered for Joseph's sake, and that this noble, handsome 
 young man was of great value to him. 
 
 But trouble came through Potiphar's vain and foolish 
 wife, and Joseph was thrown into prison, though he had done 
 no wrong. Again we read, " But the Lord was with Joseph." 
 Yes, even in prison and disgrace, the Lord stood by him, giving 
 him wisdom and love, and sending him dreams, which in the 
 end brought him out of prison, and placed him in still higher 
 position than before ! 
 
 The King of Egypt, the great Pharaoh, had a wonderful 
 dream, which no wise man could interpret. He sent for Joseph, 
 and the Lord showed Joseph the true meaning. When the 
 King learned that a great famine was coming, he placed Joseph 
 in charge, and during all the famine years, and the years of 
 plenty that went before, it was Joseph's wisdom that planned, 
 and carried out the plans which saved Egypt from great trouble 
 and loss. 
 
 One day there came a company, of men from Canaan, 
 where the famine was sore, asking to buy bread from Joseph. 
 He knew them at once for his brothers, but they knew him not. 
 His loving heart went out to them, and when he at last made 
 himself known to them, he wept aloud for joy and sorrow. The 
 time had come, indeed, when the dreams of the dreamer had 
 come true, and Joseph, the hated and despised brother, became, 
 not only one to whom the brothers bowed down in love and 
 reverence, but the one to whom they actually owed their lives.

 A TRUE STORY OF LOVE AND FAITH 
 
 N TREAT me not to leave thee, or to return from 
 following after thee ; for whither thou goest I will 
 go, and where thou lodgest I will lodge; thy peo- 
 ple shall be my people, and thy God my God. 
 Where thou diest will I die, and there will I be 
 buried — the Lord do so to me and more also if aught but 
 death part thee and me.'' 
 
 It was a young woman of Moab who spoke these noble 
 and beautiful words to a woman old and sad, and bowed by 
 many sorrows. Years before a man of Bethlehem in Judah 
 took his wife and two sons, because of famine, and went into 
 the land of Moab to dwell for a time. His name was Elimelech, 
 and his wife was called Naomi. Elimelech died in this strange 
 land, and Naomi was left with her two sons, who married 
 wives from among the daughters of Moab. And then came a 
 sad time when the sons died, and Naomi was left alone with 
 her daughters-in-law, Orpah and Ruth. They loved one an- 
 other and dwelt in peace and union, but the mother's heart 
 turned in her loneliness more and more toward her own kin- 
 dred, her own land, and above all the God of Israel whom she 
 had loved and served in her happy youth, and whom she still 
 loved, though among a people who knew him not. 
 
 The longing desire grew in the heart of Naomi, until 
 she could no longer abide in the land of strangers, and one day 
 she turned her face toward the land of Judah, and Orpah and 
 Ruth said they would go with her. 
 
 Naomi bade them return, each to her mother's house, 
 and she kissed them tenderly, while all three women wept as 
 they tried to bid one another a long farewell. Then Ruth, her 
 
 ^ 
 
THE BIBLE IN PICTURES 
 
 heart running over with lore and faith, spoke the words which 
 have Hved, and will always live in the world while love and faith 
 are dear to human hearts. 
 
 Again Naomi bade the loving daughters return to their 
 own people, and not seek to follow an old and broken woman 
 upon whom the hand of the Lord had been laid. The daugh- 
 ters again wept aloud, and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law 
 again, and turned to go to her own people. But Ruth, glow- 
 ing with love and the spirit of self-sacrifice, clung to the older 
 woman. When Naomi saw that Ruth was of a steadfast mind 
 and would not leave her, we may well believe that hope and 
 courage entered into the soul of the sad-hearted woman and she 
 went on her way with a heart lightened and cheered by the 
 love and tenderness of this dear daughter. 
 
 Ruth gave up her own people, her own land, and the 
 gods she had been taught to serve. What did she gain.? 
 
 She gained the undying affection of a lonely woman, the 
 love and respect of all who saw her devotion to duty, and above 
 all else the favor of Israel's God and King ! She gained, too, 
 the honor of being an ancestress of the Lord Jesus Christ, and 
 her name will be known as long as he is loved and worshiped 
 on earth. 
 
 A good and noble man saw this sweet woman gleaning 
 in the field after the reapers. His heart was drawn to her by 
 her beauty and modest ways, and he made her his honored 
 wife, giving her a name and high position, and a dear child was 
 given her, who became the father of Jesse, the father of David,

 DAVID AND GOLIATH 
 
 LONG ago when the world was young there lived a 
 clear-eyed, noble boy who feared nothing but evil. 
 He was a shepherd lad, keeping his father's flocks 
 on the wide, grassy plains of Bethlehem. He was 
 the youngest son of Jesse, and had several brothers 
 older than himself. A brave and faithful lad he was, — so brave 
 that when peacefully watching his sheep one day, a lion came 
 out of the rocky gorge not far away, and tried to carry away 
 some of the tender lambs, their young shepherd, thinking not 
 of his own safety, slew the lion, and saved his flock! Another 
 day a hungry bear came seeking food, and young David fear- 
 lessly slew him — again saving his flock. 
 
 There came a day when there was war between Israel 
 and the Philistines. The armies came in plain sight of each 
 other, and the Philistines sent their champion — the great giant 
 Goliath — to dare any man to come out and fight with him and 
 thus settle the quarrel between the two armies. 
 
 Goliath was taller than any man you ever saw. He wore 
 a great helmet of brass on his head, and his body was covered 
 with a coat of mail. He had a big voice and a fierce look, and 
 all the soldiers who heard him were afraid to fight him. Every 
 day the giant came out and taunted the Israelites and called 
 them cowards, and King Saul's heart was full of trouble and 
 dismay. 
 
 But one day he was told that a lad had come to the 
 battlefield to bring food to his brothers, who said he would 
 fight the giant! Saul said, "Bring him to me." But when he 
 saw the fair face and slender form of young David, he was much 
 disappointed, and said sadly, "Alas! you are too young and

 weak to fight a great giant like Goliath." But David, looking 
 the king in the eye, said modestly but bravely, "The Lord who 
 delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of 
 the bear, He will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine." 
 Then Saul saw that David was not thinking of his own power 
 or strength, but of the power and strength of the great God, 
 and he said, "Go, and the Lord be with thee." 
 
 So David went, believing in his faithful young heart that 
 God would humble the pride and wickedness of this powerful 
 giant, and give the victory to His people Israel. He would not 
 wear armor or carry a sword. He wanted all the people to see 
 1^ that God could use a weak boy to conquer evil, and he took 
 only his shepherd's staff and his sling, and went cheerfully to 
 meet the bad, bold giaut. 
 
 When GoHath saw this fair, ruddy-faced boy coming to 
 meet him, armed only with his shepherd's staff and a sling, he 
 despised him and cursed him by his gods. But David said to 
 him, calmly, "I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts; 
 this day will the Lord deHver thee into mine hand." The giant 
 came to meet him in great rage, rattling his armor and waving 
 his sword, but young David, who had picked up a few smooth 
 stones from the side of the brook, only took one of them from 
 his little shepherd's bag, put it carefully in his sling, and threw 
 it with so true an aim, and with such power in his young hand, 
 that it struck the fierce giant squarely in the forehead, and he 
 fell down flat upon his face! When the soldiers of the two armies 
 ;?5 saw this the IsraeHtes shouted for joy, and the Philistines turned 
 and ran away, for they saw that the God of Israel was fighting 
 for His people.

THE FLIGHT INTO EGYPT

 THE BIBLE IN PICTURES 
 
 THE FLIGHT INTO EGYPT. 
 
 RISE! Take the young child quickly: We must 
 flee ! " It was Joseph, the carpenter, calling in the 
 still night to Mary, the mother of Jesus. What did 
 it mean ? 
 
 The Holy Family lingered still in Bethlehem. In the 
 night time an angel of the Lord spoke to Joseph in a dream 
 bidding him take Mary and the Child and fly to Eg3^pt because 
 of the cruel King Herod, who had heard the story of the Wise 
 Men, and feared the little new-born King. 
 
 In quiet haste Mary rose and made ready, and soon the 
 three were under the stars, Mary, bearing the precious Babe in 
 tender arms and riding upon the gentle ass, while Joseph hurried 
 along by her side, knowing well that the danger was real, else 
 the Lord would not have sent his angel to warn them. And so 
 it was, for they were scarcely outside the walls of the city when 
 Herod's soldiers came at his command to slay all the children 
 of two years and under, thinking in this way to destroy the 
 Holy Child whom the Wise Men had called King of the Jews- 
 
 Egypt lay nearly eighty miles in a straight line from 
 Bethlehem. The road ran along the hill tops, then down to the 
 plains and the seashore. It was the lovely springtime, and in 
 the young mother's fearful heart there was yet a thrill of joy 
 in the thought that her blessed Child was so plainly under 
 the direction of the King of Heaven ! 
 
 Eighty miles seems but a short journey with our modern 
 ways of travel, but nineteen hundred years ago, and in the land 
 of our Ivord, it took many days. The patient ass toiled on 
 carrying his precious burden, and Joseph, tall and grave, kept 
 faithful watch by day and by night. 
 
 <3 
 
THE BIBLE IN PICTURES 
 
 And now see how God had made this journey to a strange 
 land and a long stay there possible. Joseph was a poor man, 
 and Mary was a simple maiden of the hills. In all their lives, 
 perhaps, they had never seen so much money as the Wise Men 
 brought, laying it all at the feet of the infant King ! They did 
 not know then what it meant, but now they understood that God 
 had sent them the gold and precious things for this very time of 
 need. How they praised him, and how we, too, should praise 
 him, for he is " Our Father," you know, — the Father of Jesus, 
 and our Father, too ! 
 
 A river ran between the land of Palestine and the land 
 gl of Egypt, and in a little less than a week, perhaps, from the 
 night when they stole away from Bethlehem, they came to one 
 of the shallow fords of the river and crossed safely over into 
 
 Egypt. 
 
 Here the happy little family stayed on, month after month, 
 for Joseph knew well that he must not return to his own land 
 while King Herod lived. With some of the money which Ihe 
 Wise Men brought he could buy tools such as carpenters used 
 in those days, and take up again his clean, honest toil, making a 
 little home for Mary and the child Jesus, — a home in which love 
 and peace lived. 
 
 And so the days went by and another glad spring came, 
 and the little Jesus, growing always stronger and sweeter, made 
 the light and joy of the cottage home. Then again the angel 
 came to Joseph in a dream and said: "Arise, take the young 
 child and his mother and return to thine own country, for they 
 are dead which sought his life." 
 
 So Joseph and Mary, with the Holy Child, went gladly 
 back to their own dear home in the hills, and they dwelt there 
 in peace and simple comfort for many happy years.

 --nSHERS OF MEN.'* 
 
 EAR not, from henceforth thou shalt catch men." 
 
 Jesus spoke these words to Peter one lovely 
 morning, standing on the shore of the blue Sea of 
 Galilee. He had been teaching the people who 
 flocked in crowds about him, and while he was still 
 speaking two fishing boats came to the shore. The fishermen 
 were tired, for they had toiled all night and had caught nothing. 
 They began at once to take the nets from their boats, and to 
 wash the sand and pebbles out of them in order to get them 
 ready for the next night's work. 
 
 By this time the people had crowded down upon the 
 water's edge, so that Jesus stepped into Peter's boat and asked 
 him to push it out a little way from the shore. Peter gladly 
 did so, and from the boat Jesus went on speaking to the people, 
 and they listened eagerly to every word he said. When he was 
 done he sent them away, and then told Peter, and Andrew, his 
 brother, to push the boat out into the deep water, and let the nets 
 down again. Peter thought in his heart that this would do no 
 good, but he said, " At thy word I will let down the nets." 
 Peter knew that Jesus was a great Teacher, but he did not 
 know that he was a great Wonder-worker. 
 
 Out into the blue lake Peter rowed again, and this time, 
 though it was morning, when the fish are not easily caught, the 
 nets filled so quickly and were so heavy that the fishermen had 
 to make signs to James and John, their partners in fishing, to 
 bring their boats and help carry the load. When Peter saw 
 this he knew that Jesus could do mighty works, and as soon as 
 he came to the shore he ran and knelt down before him, and 
 
 said, " Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord." Peter 
 
114 
 
 THE BIBLE IN PICTURES 
 
 I 
 
 f 
 
 meant by this that he was not worthy to be a disciple because 
 he had doubted the power of Jesus, and then Jesus told him not 
 to be afraid, for he would make him a fisher of men. 
 
 Peter and Andrew and James and John, all fishermen, 
 had been called to be the disciples of Jesus. A disciple is a 
 learner, and Jesus wanted these fishermen to learn from him all 
 that he could teach them, so that they might become teachers. 
 These were among the very first disciples. Jesus was not 
 looking for men who had much money or grei't learning or rich 
 friends to become his followers. He wanted men with simple 
 hearts, who, for love of him, would be willing to help other 
 people to know and love him too. This is what he meant when 
 he said, " Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." 
 
 It is the same now as in those days. Anyone who truly 
 follows Jesus will become a fisher of men. He will want other 
 people to know and love Jesus so much that he will be making 
 plans to " catch " them just as a good fisherman does who is 
 eager to catch fish. You do not need to be a preacher and 
 stand in a pulpit to be a fisher of men, nor do you have to be a 
 missionary and go far away to some strange country. Just 
 the place in which you are, just that which is given you to do 
 at the time, is your place and your opportunity to do the kind 
 of fishing Jesus wants done. The boy or the girl in the home, 
 at school, on the playground, anywhere, everywhere, may be a 
 true follower of Jesus, and therefore a real fisher of men.

RAISING OF JAIRUS* 
 
 Reynolds, 
 
THE BIBLE IN PICTURES 
 
 & 
 
 THE RAISING OF JAIRUS' DAUGHTER. 
 
 A GREAT crowd was waiting to welcome Jesus when 
 Peter's boat, bearing the Master and his disciples, 
 came in sight of the landing place at Capernaum. 
 The sharp-pointed, red sail was lowered, and the 
 curious, kindly people pressed close to Jesus to wel- 
 come him back to their town. They were proud and pleased 
 to have him among them, for at this time the friends of Jesus 
 were many, and if he had any enemies they wisely held their 
 peace. 
 
 But now, pressing through the crowd, with a look of 
 pain on his fine face, came Jairus, one of the great men of the 
 church and town. The people made place for him with looks 
 of pity, for many of them knew that his little girl was lying at 
 the point of death in his home. They looked on with astonish- 
 ment when they saw the great man come, bending low before 
 Jesus, and heard him say in a voice full of trouble, " My little 
 daughter is dying. Come, I pray thee, and lay thy hand upon 
 her, that she may live." Jairus knew that Jesus had done many 
 wonderful works, and now in his time of great distress he came 
 to him for help. 
 
 Turning away from the seashore, Jesus went with Jairus 
 toward his fine house, which was just a little distance from the 
 town. His disciples and a crowd of eager people followed him, 
 and they pressed upon him so that he could not move quickly. 
 Then, too, a poor sick woman made herself known to Jesus and 
 begged his help and pity, and did not beg in vain. But while 
 Jesus and Jairus were thus held, a servant came running from 
 the house of Jairus to say that the child was dead, and that he 
 need not -trouble the Master to come any farther. Jesus heard 
 
 & 
 
138 
 
 THE BIBLE IN PICTURES 
 
 ^^ 
 
 the words, and, looking upon Jairiis, said, " Fear not ; only 
 believe." What hope and cheer these words must have brought 
 to the heart of the unhappy father ! 
 
 When Jairus came, bringing the Healer, to his beautiful 
 house, he found the door wide open, and many hired mourners 
 had already gathered there. They sat on the floor, the women 
 with their hair falling over their eyes and dust on their heads, 
 and men with garments torn to show their grief — all weeping 
 and wailing loudly. This was the custom in that country when 
 one was dead in a house, and all the time the mournful sound 
 of flutes told those who passed by that the death angel had 
 entered the home. 
 
 Jesus told Jairus to send all these people away, for well 
 he knew that the mourning was only a show, without any real 
 grief in their hearts. And when all were gone, except the 
 father and mother of the dear child, he took them, with Peter 
 and James and John, into the little darkened room where lay 
 the silent form of the sweet girl, only twelve j^ears of age. 
 Jesus took the little cold hand into his own, warm and throbbing 
 with life, and saying only two words, " Talitha cumi," which 
 means "Little maid, I say unto thee, arise," — straightway the 
 spirit of life came back. The child opened her eyes, rose up, 
 and was again her bright, sweet self ! 
 
 We may never know what she said or felt, or what the 
 glad father and mother felt in their hearts, but it is easy to 
 believe that they fell down at Jesus' feet and thanked him with 
 tears of joy and love, and that ever afterward they loved and 
 trusted the great Healer. And the little girl — did she not owe 
 her life to the One who had called it back, and would it not be 
 her highest joy to pay her debt in love and glad service ?

 FEEDING THE MULTITUDE. 
 
 EAREST Children, when we are tired, and perhaps 
 lessons are to be learned, or errands to be done for 
 mother or father, or even little baby brother needs 
 a playmate, it may help us to do whatever is before 
 us if we remember how patient Jesus always was, 
 his disciples labored even when weary, to help the 
 and to work with Jesus. 
 
 One time when Jesus and the disciples had worked very 
 hard and all felt weary, Jesus said, "Come, my dear brothers, 
 we will cross the sea in a ship all alone, and reach a quiet place 
 where we can have sweet rest." The disciples gladly went, for 
 they longed for the promised rest. But many people saw the 
 ship depart, and not knowing that Jesus and the disciples went 
 away to be alone, they followed on foot, walking around on the 
 land, and hurried so as to be there when the ship landed. 
 
 Jesus was surprised when they came ashore not to find 
 the quiet spot which he sought, but a gathering of thousands of 
 people, who had come to be healed and helped. ' 
 
 He did not tell them that he and his disciples had 
 worked hard and must rest; he smiled sweetly, and patiently 
 spent the remainder of the day talking gently to those who 
 needed counsel, and healing those who were ill. The little 
 children gathered about him, knowing Jesus could soothe all 
 their sorrows, and when evening came there was not a troubled 
 heart in all the gathering. 
 
 At length the disciples came to Jesus and said, " It is 
 growing late and these people have no food. Shall we not send 
 them to the villages that they may be fed .^" But Jesus an- 
 swered, "No, they walked so far to be with us, that I fear they 
 
 ,n:i\ 
 
 "^^^^"^ 
 
THE BIBLE IN PICTURES 
 
 143 
 
 are too weary to go to the villages. The little children could 
 not wait so long or walk so far — all of these dear followers 
 must be fed here." The disciples in surprise replied, " Master, 
 there are thousands here and no one has brought food except a 
 little lad, and he has only five barley loaves and two small 
 hshes." 
 
 Jesus was glad to hear of the little lad who had the 
 loaves and fishes and asked them to bring the boy to him. The 
 little boy was very happy to be called close to Jesus' side, and 
 although he was hungry and did not know what Jesus intended 
 to do, he quickly gave him his little luncheon, for, trusting 
 Jesus, no sacrifice was too great to make for his dear sake. 
 But Jesus, who never fails us, surprised the little boy as well as 
 the people gathered there, by making the five loaves and the 
 two fishes feed them all, for as quickly as he gave food to one, 
 more food appeared for another, and soon they were all supplied 
 with plenty to eat, and were seated on the soft, green grass, 
 eating and resting, and not forgetting to have thankful hearts 
 for the blessing they had received. 
 
 After the people had eaten, and all were satisfied, Jesus 
 told his disciples to gather up what was left, and they quickly 
 did so, filling twelve baskets with the fragments. 
 
 No crumbs were left on the beautiful velvety grass — all 
 was left as clean as if no one had feasted there. Everybody 
 looked satisfied and happy and peace reigned in the hearts of all.

 CHRIST BLESSING LITTLE CHILDREN. 
 
 LOVE your Jesus because he loves little children," 
 said a heathen child to a missionary. 
 
 It was springtime of the last year that Jesus lived 
 earth. He was in Peraea, beyond the River 
 
 on 
 
 Jordan. He had gone there to hide away from the 
 wicked priests who hated him and wanted to kill him. It was 
 no longer safe for Jesus to preach and teach in Judea and Galilee, 
 and the priests had even turned the hearts of the people away 
 from him in Samaria. So the gentle Master had gone with his 
 disciples down the Jericho road, and crossing the fords of the 
 Jordan had come into the Peraean country, where the people 
 were not so much under the rule of the priests as in Jerusalem. 
 Here Jesus stayed all the winter, helping and blessing the kind 
 people, and now the time had come for him to go back to 
 Jerusalem and lay down his life for our sakes. 
 
 It was not a strange thing in that land for thoughtful 
 mothers to bring little children to some wise Teacher and ask 
 him to tell them to be always good and true. Many of the 
 humble Perazan women had heard this young Teacher speak 
 such wise and loving words, that they longed to have him lay 
 his hands in blessing upon their dear children, and when they 
 heard that he was going away, they came from their small 
 white houses, carrying the babies — leading the little toddlers, 
 and calling the older ones to follow, as they pressed up close to 
 the Master's side. 
 
 It was a pretty sight to see the women wearing bright 
 handkerchiefs on their heads — as women still do in the East^ — ■ 
 clothed in red and blue garments, hurrying forward with their 
 dark-faced little boys, and rosy-cheeked girls and laughing

 babies, — a company of blessed little innocents, and begging the 
 loving Teacher to bless their little ones ! They were poor 
 women, and often their hearts were heavy with pain and sorrow, 
 but they loved their children and wanted the best things for 
 them just as mothers do now. 
 
 But so many women came, bringing so many children, 
 that the disciples feared the Master would be wearied by their 
 coming, and they spoke roughly to the mothers and children, 
 telling them to go away. 
 
 Jesus heard their harsh words, and he was "much 
 displeased." Then he spoke the beautiful words which made 
 these mothers glad, and which will go on making hearts glad 
 as long as the world stands: — "Suffer the little children to 
 come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom 
 of Heaven." 
 
 Then how the little ones ran forward with eager joy to 
 touch the kind hands and the robe of this gentle Teacher, and 
 to nestle in his loving arms ! In their young hearts they /t7/ 
 the love and tenderness with which he laid his hands upon them 
 as he spoke sweet words of blessing, even stooping to take up 
 the littlest ones in his arms. To be sure, they could not 
 understand all the deep meaning of his words, but they could 
 understand that he loved them. 
 
 What child who reads this story does not feel like saying: 
 
 "I wish that his hands had been placed on my head, — 
 That his arms had been thrown around me, 
 And that I might have heard his kind voice when he said, 
 
 'Let the little ones come mi to Me!'"

 HOSANNA IN THE HIGHEST. 
 
 T was the afternoon of an April day In the land where 
 Jesus lived. The Passover Festival in Jerusalem 
 had called crowds of pilgrims from all parts of 
 Palestine. Some were busy putting up little white 
 tents and mat booths near the city walls, while others 
 found places with friends or took lodgings m the city. 
 
 The story went from one to another that the priests and 
 rulers would surely make Jesus a prisoner if he appeared in the 
 temple. They had urged any who knew where he might be to 
 tell them, and declared openly that they were going to put him 
 to death. 
 
 Jesus understood well that the time was near when he 
 must die, but he was not afraid of these enemies who could only 
 kill the body, so he set out this beautiful spring day with his 
 disciples and some dear friends tx'om Bethany to go to Jerusalem. 
 When they drew near to the little village of Bethphage he told two 
 of his disciples to go into the village and ask for a young ass, 
 which they would find there and bring to him, so that he might 
 ride upon it into Jerusalem. When the white ass "upon which 
 no man had yet sat " was brought, a blue garment was thrown 
 over its back and Jesus took his seat, his friends rejoicing loudly, 
 for they thought that now he was surely going to enter the holy 
 city as a king. It was the custom for a prophet or a king to 
 ride upon an animal like this, and they believed that at last 
 their great Prophet and King was coming to his own ! 
 
 Some ran ahead and threw down their outside garments 
 of blue and yellow and brown upon the dusty road for him to 
 ride over, while others cut green branches from the trees and 
 cast them before him. As the crowd grew larger they shouted

 joyfully and waved their branches of palm, while joyous children 
 ran ahead, gathering branches and singing praises with the rest. 
 
 It was a happy band of pilgrims indeed. When Jesus 
 and his friends came to the top of the hill they saw another 
 company winding up the path on the Jerusalem side of the 
 Mount of Olives, who also welcomed Jesus with loud shouts and 
 waving palm branches. 
 
 And what did the gentle Jesus think of all this tumult 
 and display? He did not tell the rejoicing crowd to be silent, 
 for he knew that the end was near, and for this once he allowed 
 them to honor him. 
 
 Among the company who had come up from Jerusalem 
 to meet him, were some Pharisees, who were very angry when 
 they saw the joy of the people and heard them call Jesus a king. 
 They shouted to Jesus to stop them, but he calmly said, that if 
 the people had been silent the very stones would cry out ! And 
 yet, though Jesus let himself be treated as a king, it was a sad 
 hour for him, for he well knew that he must soon lay down his 
 life for the sins of the world, and that even his friends would 
 fail and forsake him. None could understand his sadness as the 
 triumphant company marched on, singing: "Hosanna! Blessed 
 is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the 
 highest." Loudest and sweetest of all were the voices of 
 children who loved Jesus and joyfully sang praises to him. 
 
 And still 
 
 " Sing praise, O happy children ! 
 Sing praise to Christ the Lord, 
 Who calls the children to him 
 With gentle, loving word."

 THE GIFT OF LOVE. 
 
 T was Tuesday afternoon of the last week of our 
 Lord's life on earth. He was in the Temple, the 
 place which he had named, "My Father's House." 
 Soon the services for the day would end, and the 
 Temple gates would close, — ne\er to open again to 
 the Lord of life ! 
 
 Before going away Jesus sat down for a little while 
 opposite the part called the " Treasury." Here were thirteen 
 large money chests, standing against the wall. Into these the 
 people dropped their gifts of money as they entered the Temple. 
 Each chest had a trumpet-shaped opening made of. brass into 
 which the money was dropped. If you had been there you 
 would have seen that each chest bore a name which showed 
 for what purpose the money in that chest would be used, as 
 " Wood," " Incense," " Gold Dishes," and so on. 
 
 Jesus watched the people as they came, each one 
 dropping something into the chests. Here came a rich Pharisee, 
 perhaps, wearing a fine robe, who dropped a handful of gold 
 pieces into the brass mouth of the chest with a look which 
 seemed to say, " See how rich and generous I am ! " Then 
 came a merchant, not so rich and proud perhaps, but looking 
 pleased as he heard his silver coins tinkling among the gold 
 pieces. Poorer people came along and cast in their money, 
 and even though it may have been copper coins, they showed 
 by their manner how pleased they were to be seen giving to 
 the Lord. 
 
 But by and by came a poor woman. Jesus knew that 
 she was a widow and so poor that she could scarcely get enough 
 to cat. When he saw her take from her pocket two of the 
 
 hi*^^^ '^' 
 
l62

 $ 
 
 smallest pieces of money then in use, and drop them into the 
 box with her head bowed as in prayer, he turned and said to his 
 disciples, " Of a truth I say unto you that this poor widow hath 
 cast in more than they all, for all these have of their abundance 
 cast into the offerings of God, but she of her penury hath cast 
 in all the living that she had." 
 
 Jesus taught his disciples this lesson so that by and by, 
 v/hen he was no longer with them and they had become the 
 teachers of his Gospel, they would know and teach that true 
 giving to the Lord's cause is not in the outward act, but in the 
 love and sacrifice that go with the gift. The rich Pharisees 
 and merchants who had thrown their large gifts into the 
 Treasury, could easily spare the money, and really gave to be 
 seen and praised of men. But the poor woman who gave only 
 a farthing because she loved the Lord's House, Jesus said gave 
 more than all the rest. 
 
 This story teaches that Jesus does not count as men do. 
 He looks down below the spoken word, the outward deed, even 
 the gift of money or service, to see what lies behind them all. 
 If he sees there the wish to be praised, he is not pleased, but 
 if he sees the loving desire to please him and to help some 
 child of his, he says, " That is well, my child." 
 
 "It is not the deed we do, 
 Though that be never so fair, 
 But the love the dear Lord looketh for, 
 Hidden away with care 
 In the heart of the deed so fair."
