A ram-ble in the fields and woods is ve-ry nice; but do not go at ran-dom, or you may lose your way. Such a walk as this is ru-ral. The woods re-sound with the songs of birds. When we re-pair to the woods we re-fresh our-selves. We should re-flect on the good-ness of God who made all things. We may re-ly on Him in time of need, if we re-sign our-selves to His will. Do not love re-venge, but for-give and for-get wrongs. The Sab-bath is a ho-ly day, a day of re-pose, and should be kept sa-cred. Re-joice on the Sab-bath-day, hear the Gos-pel, and re-flect up-on it; but do not re-sort to bad pla-ces, or you will soon be of e-vil re-pute. Re-gard the Sab-bath, and re-buke those who do ill.

Love your sis-ter; take care of her, and be a so-lace to her. Take care to walk in the sum-mer, and do not climb a-bout and tear your clothes in tat-ters. And shed its light to aid our sight. |
