[This is a suggestion for a talk on the waters of the Bible, a little lesson being drawn from each, and the whole being reviewed at the end.]<\/p>\n
The speaker should make an outline map of Palestine,\u2014a large map, on white paper, if possible, that colors may show well.<\/p>\n
Use blue pencil for the waters, and fill in the map before the society with the use of word pictures. \u201cHere is a bit of a river. I see a rich noble going down to it. He has many followers, and he is magnificently dressed, but the poor man is in a horrible plight, with sores all over, for he is a leper. But what is he doing? He is rushing into the water. And see! out he comes again. And again he rushes in; and again. And now,\u2014look, children! Can it be the same man? His skin is clear and whole. His body is erect andstrong. And how happy he is; how happy! What is the river, children? Who is the man? How did he come to bathe in the river? And if God, or God\u2019s messenger, tells us to do anything, what must we do about it?\u201d<\/p>\n
Proceeding in this way, the map will soon be marked all over with blue: the pool of Bethesda at Jerusalem, bits of the Sea of Galilee, the well at Sychar, the water-whelmed altar on Mount Carmel, the Jordan ford, the Jabbok ford, and Cana, where red may be used instead of blue,\u2014these places readily occur, and these will suffice. Make the word pictures vivid, ask your questions brightly, and do not forget to bring out what each event teaches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
