FOSSILS 215 



The teacher should make very impressive the length 

 of time that must have elapsed while these different 

 forms of life were growing and changing and while the 

 rocks that preserved their shape were being made. Show 

 how the prophecy given in the memory verse is fulfilled 

 through the records of nature's book. 



OPENING TALK 



Have you seen any of the rocks that we talked about 

 last Sunday? Can you tell what is the common rock 

 about your home? What can you tell about the way it 

 was made? 



Think of some of the ways you find qut what you want 

 to know. You ask questions, or you read books which can 

 tell you. When people wanted to find out what hap- 

 pened before any one lived on the earth they found a 

 record which could tell them. We call it nature's book, 

 and that means God's book, too. It is not printed or 

 written on paper; it has lasted many centuries and will 

 last ages more. What that book is, how it was made, 

 and some things it tells, you shall hear from our story 

 about fossils.
