LESSON 35 

 THE STORY OF ELECTRICITY 



MEMORY VERSE 



Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, 

 and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth; 

 and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be 

 opened. 



Matt. 7: 7, 8 



The Purpose 



That the treasures with which God has filled the world 

 are here waiting to be used and can be found by the 

 earnest seeker is a lesson well adapted to the questioning 

 minds of children from nine to ten years of age. The 

 added truth that God bids us seek is the special purpose 

 of this lesson. 



Suggestions for the Teacher 



The lessons to be drawn from the story of electricity 

 are much the same as those from the story of steam. 

 Here, however, stress should be laid not only upon the 

 fact that the laws have existed from the beginning, but 

 also upon the truth that what we earnestly search for 

 we shall find. The teacher should provide herself with 

 one of the sets of articles to be rubbed, which is given in 

 the list of the handwork, and show the children how 

 the electricity was obtained that amused and interested 

 people for so many centuries.
