Come to the meeting prepared with many symbols illustrating some of the most remarkable deliverances described in the Bible. Placing these one by one before the children, ask them of what man or woman each of the symbols reminds them, and what remarkable escape was brought about through the use of the things shown to the society.
For example, a toy ark will suggest the story of the escape of Noah and his family. A broken chain will lead the children to tell how Peter and Silas were delivered from prison. A bit of board will draw out the story of Paul’s escape from the wrecked ship.
A basket will be suggestive of Paul’s escape over the wall of Damascus. A sling will be suggestive of the story of David and Goliath. A picture of a lion will lead the children to tell the story of Daniel; the picture of a fire, to relate the account of the three Hebrew children, Daniel’s friends; of a shark, to tell of Jonah; while a picture of a lamb will be the symbol for the escape of the Passover.
After the speaker has in this way set the children to thinking about different Bible stories, he may go on to draw out the lessons we should learn from each and all of these remarkable deliverances.
