We have a picture before us of some immense stone structures in Egypt. They were built many, many years bore Christ was born into the world. The smaller pyramids were individual burial places for the kings of Egypt.
The one in our picture is the largest that has ever been found, so has been named the Great Pyramid.
On this side of the pyramid, we see a strange stone head, called the Sphinx. Notice how small it looks beside the Great Pyramid,—we can scarcely believe that this sphinx is some sixty-three feet in height. We do not know for what purpose the Egyptians made these queer stone creatures. They may have built this one, thinking it would protect the entrance to the Nile River valley.
We know very well that God alone, can protect us and our country from danger. How terribly sad to think about these people who do not know God, but who trust in creatures they make with their own hands.
Some day each king will be resurrected from his pyramid, and be made to appear before God. There is no hiding from Him:
Are you ready to meet Him? He speaks loudly to you; He wants you to seek pardon through His blessed Son, Jesus Christ. It is only by faith in the blood of Jesus that you can approach God.
