The Collect of the Lesson:

O GOD, who art the author of peace and lover of concord, whose service is perfect freedom; Defend us thy humble servants in all assaults of our enemies; that we, surely trusting in thy defence, may not fear the power of any adversaries, through the might of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Venite, exultemus Domino (also A Song of Triumph), A Christian liturgical canticle composed of parts of Psalms 95 and 96.

Origin: Latin venite, come, imperative second person plural. So called from its opening word in the Latin version.

Venite, exultemus Domino.

O COME, let us sing unto the LORD; let us heartily rejoice in the strength of our salvation.

Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; and show ourselves glad in him with psalms.

For the LORD is a great God; and a great King above all gods.

In his hand are all the corners of the earth; and the strength of the hills is his also.

The sea is his, and he made it; and his hands prepared the dry land.

O come, let us worship and fall down, and kneel before the LORD our Maker.

For he is the Lord our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.

O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness; let the whole earth stand in awe of him.

For he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth; and with righteousness to judge the world, and the peoples with his truth. Lesson II: Bubbles.

1. The boys have come out on the porch to blow bubbles. The old cat is asleep on the mat by the door. 2. "Ha! ha!" laughs Robert, as a bubble comes down softly on the old cat's back, and does not burst. 3. Willie tries to make his bubble do the same. This time it comes down on the cat's face, and makes her sneeze. 4. "She would rather wash her face without soap," says Harry. "Now let us see who can make the biggest bubble." 5. "Mine is the biggest," says Robert. "See how high it floats in the air! I can see—ah! it has burst." 6. "I can see the house and the trees and the sky in mine," says Willie; "and such beautiful colors." 7. "How many, Willie?" 8. "Red, one; blue, two; there—they are all out. Let us try again." 9. "I know how many colors there are," says Harry. "Just as many as there are in the rainbow." 10. "Do you know how many that is?" McGuffey's Second Eclectic Reader (revised edition)

Read “The Great Flood” with a friend or family member. Discuss good and evil; write down good things in God's eyes on the ark and evil things in God's eyes in the water. THE GREAT FLOOD.

IN the course of time, when there came to be more folks in the world, they grew fond of sin. They did not love God, or try to please him. And God was wroth with them, and said he would send a flood that would drown the world, and there should not be any dry land left for men, beasts, or birds to live on. But though most of the folks at that time were as bad as they could be, there was one good man in their midst, and his name was Noah. And God loved Noah and told him what he meant to do. And God bade Noah build an ark.

Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. Genesis 6:5-6

WICKEDNESS, noun Departure from the rules of the divine law; evil disposition or practices; immorality; crime; sin; sinfulness; corrupt manners wickedness generally signifies evil practices. GOOD, noun Most suitable or right for a particular purpose; that which is a benefit or useful and capable of pleasing. adjective Morally admirable and financially sound. Lesson II: Bubbles.

THE ARK. THIS was a boat. It was to be made large, with rooms in it, and a great door on its side. And it was to be quite high, and to have a roof on top. And God told Noah when the ark was done he and his sons and their wives should go in it. And he told Noah to take in with him two of each kind of bird and of beast, and of bug, and of things that crept, and to take care of them in the ark so long as the flood should be on the earth; for all that were not in the ark would be sure to be drowned. So Noah set out at once to build the ark; and it took him a great while to build it. When not at work on the ark, he would talk of God, and of his plan to send a flood to wash sin out of the world, and would urge the folks to give up their sins, and lead good lives. But they paid no heed to his words, and went from bad to worse all the time that Noah was at work on the ark. When it was done God told Noah to come into the ark, for he saw he was a good man who had done his best to serve him, and to bring the birds and beasts with him. For in a few days he would send the rain on the earth, and all that was left on it would be drowned. So Noah did as God told him. And when he and his wife, and his three sons and their wives, and the birds and the beasts, both small and great, had passed through the great door of the ark, God shut them in. At the end of a week the rain set in, and did not stop for more than a month. The rain seemed to pour out of the sky, and all the springs, the large and small streams, and the great seas, rose up and swept through the length and breadth of the land. They came to where the ark was, and went round and round it, and rose so high that the ark was borne from its place and set afloat on the great wide sea. Then those who had paid no heed to Noah, but had kept on in their sins, were in a sad plight. The flood had come, and they knew now that all that he had told them was true. How glad they would have been to go with him in the ark. But it was too late. They ran in wild haste to the tops of the hills in hopes to find there a safe place. But still the floods rose and rose till there was no place for them to go, and all those not in the ark were drowned, and there was not a bit of dry land in the whole wide world. But God took care of Noah, and those who were with him, and kept them safe till the floods went down. At the end of five months the sea had gone down so much that the ark stood high and dry on a mount known as Ar-a-rat It stood there for at least two months, and at the end of that time the sea had gone down so that tops of high hills could be seen here and there. And Noah sent forth a raven, and the bird flew this way and that, but came not back to the ark. McGuffey's Second Eclectic Reader (revised edition) Lesson II: Bubbles.

THE RETURN OF THE DOVE. THEN Noah sent forth a dove, that he might find out if the ground was yet dry. And the dove flew here and there in search of green things, but found not a tree in sight, and naught but cold hard rock, and so she flew back to the ark and Noah put out his hand and took her in. At the end of a week Noah sent out the dove once more, and at the close of the day she came back with a leaf in her mouth. As soon as Noah saw the leaf he knew that the waves had gone down or the dove could not have found it. And he knew that God had sent the dove back to him that he might know the ground would soon be dry. In a few days he sent the dove out for the third time, but she did not come back; and Noah was sure then that the ground was dry, and that God meant that for a sign that he should leave the ark in which he had been shut up so long. And God spoke to Noah and told him to come out of the ark, and to bring out all that had been in there with him. And Noah did so, and he built up a heap of stones as Abel had done, on which he laid beasts and birds, and burnt them, which was the way in which man gave thanks to God in those days. And Noah's heart was full of praise to God, who had kept him, and those who were near and dear to him, safe from the flood, while all the rest of the world was drowned. And God told Noah and his sons that they should rule on the earth, and might kill the beasts and use the flesh for food. Up to this time those who dwelt on the earth had lived on the fruits of trees and such things as grew out of the ground, and did not know the taste of meat. And God told Noah that he would send no more floods to drown the world as this one had done. McGuffey's Second Eclectic Reader (revised edition)

Connect the dots by number. Color it in.

THE COVENANT RAINBOW. AND God gave Noah a sign that he would keep his word, so that when Noah saw it he would have no fear of a flood. And this sign was the rainbow, which God set up in the sky as a bow of hope to Noah and to all the world. Noah lived for years and years after the flood, and died at a ripe old age. The tribes of Noah grew so fast that the world was quite well filled once more. And you would think they would have been glad to serve God, and to do right in his sight. But their hearts were full of sin, and they went on as those had done who were drowned in the flood. Lesson II: Bubbles.

Learn how to dye! The shirts that work best are 100% cotton. Tie-Dye Kit: Rubber gloves, rubber bands, soda ash, urea and complete, easy to follow instructions. The dyes are already in the squeeze bottles, all you have to do is add warm water (not hot). Soak t-shirt in a solution of WARM water, a couple of tablespoons of common salt, and soda ash for about 10 minutes. Follow the instructions given with the soda ash so that you have the right mix. Do not use water that is too hot or too cold. Wear rubber gloves at this point. After soaking, wring the shirt out thoroughly. The more liquid that you can squeeze out, the more dye will be able to get in! If you want, you can spin shirt on the spin cycle of the washing machine. (See the picture) Pinch and pick up shirt, slip several bands on making sure the bottom hem is on the bottom, and put on some more bands. This keeps its shape. Cover your working surface with plastic. You also need to wear old clothes, old shoes, etc. The dyes will stain your clothes, the floor, the walls, the ceiling, etc. So if you are not working outside please be careful. Use three colours, Fuchsia red, turquoise and lemon yellow. With these three colors you can make any color you like. Use YELLOW first. Once it turns orange or green you can't get it back. After you have completed putting the dye on the shirt, pop it into a zip lock bag and seal it up tight. Put the bag in a warm place and leave it for AT LEAST 24-36 HOURS! The BEST part! Wear yoyur rubber gloves! It's time to unwrap and discover your beautiful (we hope) creation. Take the shirt out of the bag! Run under the tap for a while and then take the bands off! BEWARE, you will be astonished at the amount of dye that pours out as you are rinsing. The water might turn black! Fear not, this is normal. Keep rinsing until the water runs clear (it may take a while!) Hopefully, if you have done it right your pattern will be revealed in all its glory. You may now wash your shirt in the normal way in a washing machine (on its own the first time). Usually wash shirt two or three times on its own. FINIS! Lesson II: Bubbles. POEM.

In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water.” ______I Peter 3:21. “And this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.” ______Lesson II: Bubbles.

Commentary for discussion: “Jesus Christ in His ascension declared to His disciples: “All power is given unto me in heaven and on earth.” The word power which Christ used means not only all power, ultimate and absolute power over all things, but also all authority. Christ therefore is king and Lord over heaven and earth, absolute ruler; and He is also the ultimate authority. He governs all things. But all things do not recognize His authority, and so as king of kings and Lord of Lords and as the great executor of the estate, He must not only dispossess the false heir, the enemy, but also establish His authority over them openly, confounding them in their rebellion, and revealing to all men His sovereign power. Jesus Christ appeared in the Old Testament repeatedly as the Angel of the present. And He appeared as God's tabernacling glory as the pillar and the cloud in the wilderness journey. In this chapter He appears only partially veiled by the cloud and the fire, whereas in the wilderness His flock was a little people, now by virtue of the world wide extent of the church, Christ covers land and sea and overshadows the entire world. A rainbow was upon His head, and his face was as it were the sun, and His feet as pillars of fire. The rainbow stands for Gods covenant of peace made with Noah. And Christ as the prince of peace and the principle of peace is at one and the same time the principle with reference to the infraction of peace of judgement. Jesus Christ because He is the prince of peace is also the Lord of judgement, the two are inseparable. ... Peace cannot be established unless an order, a judgement is established. And those who claim in the name of peace to be against war and against law and order, against judgement; are actually against peace also. They are trying to create revolutionary warfare and revolutionary anarchy. There can be no peace apart from judgement and the exercise of power in judgement.” RJ Rushdoony

Genesis 9:13. I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. ______
