WILL GIVE REST TAKE MY YOKE UPON LEARN OF ME "MY BURDEN IS EASY IS LIGHT" Having drawn the text upon the blackboard or slate, as explained above, call special attention to the fact that the yoke is intended for use.

It never is regarded merely as an ornament, but is designed for service. It may be very strong, and quite perfect in every respect; but unless it is used it will be almost worthless. The yoke of Christ's teaching and example will be serviceable to us if we use it. He says to us: "Take my yoke upon you." Did a yoke ever place itself upon the neck of the oxen? No, it had to be put there by somebody. So, when you wear the yoke of Christ, it must be taken upon you. Remember, children, the Saviour asks you to take it; He does not try to force it upon you. Yokes sometimes seem heavy, because of the burdens that are attached to them.. But Christ tells us that His yoke is easy, and His burden is light. Animals that bear the yoke have no rest until the yoke is removed. But the Christian has rest, even while he bears the yoke of Christ. Will you try i, children?

BLACKBOARD ILLUSTRATIONS, &c. 257 Mr. Moody tells us that "the service of Christ is the only true liberty." The best time to bear the yoke is in youth. It is a yoke of restraint. Learn self-control now. It is a yoke of service. Learn to render service now. It is a yoke of sacrifice. Learn to practise self-denial now.

The prophet tells us that " it is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth." Lam. iii. 27. "Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth." "COMES" OF THE OLD TESTAMENT.
