Hebrews 11:24-27
CHILDREN'S STORY - Years ago, there was a very bad King in Egypt who hated the Israelites. In fact, he hated them so much that he commanded that all their baby boys should be thrown into the river and drowned.
He was a bad king.
But there was a mother who loved her baby very much and she hid him from the King as long as she could. And when she couldn't hide him anymore, she made a basket and placed him in it ... and put it in the river near where the King's daughter would come to wash herself.
When the King's daughter came to river, she heard the baby cry, and immediately loved him and wanted to make him her her own little boy. She named him Moses.

Beecher said ''NO, I am not going sit down'' and insisted he was right. Even when the teacher kept criticizing and even shouting at him, Beecher held his ground a ...
