24 May we tread as Jesus trod; His steps will surely lead to God. A lit-tle child knelt down to pray, This was the pray-er which he did say : OUR FA-THER which art in hea-ven, hal-low-ed be thy name; thy king-dom come; thy will be done on earth, as it is in hea-ven. Give us this day our dai-ly bread; and for-give us our tres-pass-es, as we for-give them that tres-pass a-gainst us. And lead us not into temp-ta-tion, but de-li-ver us from evil. For thine is the king-dom, the po-wer, and the glo-ry, for e-ver. A-men. Mother, teach us how to pray, Until we can know the way. How sweet to hear the Bible read-It teaches what the Saviour said. 25 WHAT taught me that a Great First Cause What guide can lead me to this power, The Bi-ble. The Bi-ble. What points where tru-er bless-ings dwell? The Bi-ble. When pas-sions with temp-ta-tions join, To con-quer ev-'ry power of mine, What leads me then to help di-vine? The Bi-ble. Holy Bible! book divine! Precious treasure, thou art mine. NINETEENTH READING LESSON. When you ven-ture in-to the woods, take care of the snakes, or they may sting you with their ve-nom. of Lis-ten to the words your tu-tor, who teach-es you good things. As you get on you will know much. You will learn a-bout ves-sels. You will be told that they sail up-on the sea, and you will learn of the dis-tant lands to which they go. This will be very pleas-ing. You would like to vi-sit these lands, and you may do so when you are grown up. Love vir-tue. Do not be un-just. Do not take um-brage when you are told of your faults, and think those who tell you of them un-kind. You should be glad that you are un-der a good tu-tor. The tu-lip is a pret-ty flow-er. tur-nip is good for food; so al-so is the tur-tle. And all therein proceed from Him.

Be up-right in all your ac-tions. Do not make a noise-an up-roar. But do your ut-most to be good, and to be-have well, and try to aid the wel-fare of all. Wa-ter is a good drink. In wet wea-ther wa-ter falls in the form of rain. How wel-come is the rain when the earth is dry, and the beasts and shrubs are in need of it. In the win-ter, some wa-ter is fro-zen by the cold, and be-comes ice. Then we can-not wan-der a-bout as in the sum-mer, when the air is warm, and the ground is dry. We must be con-tent to stay in-doors, and read our books. It is a won-der how the sum-mer goes, and the win-ter comes. It shows the wis-dom of God, and by read-ing we learn to know that wis-dom more and more.

The blan-ket keeps us warm; it is made of wool. What a bless-ing is a warm blan-ket when the win-ter is cold, and not a blos-som is to be seen up-on the trees. The bram-bles are then with-out leaves, and their stems are dry and brit-tle. Love your bro-ther. Go to wor-ship with him; find out the chap-ter, and do not chat-ter. See the stars in the sky; there are plen-ty of them. Some are call-ed plan-ets. What glo-ry we be-hold when we look up to the sky. The Lord is the King of Glo-ry, for he made all things. Do not drink strong drink, or you may be-come a drunk-ard. Be fru-gal, and take care of what God has giv-en you. A drunk-ard has no cre-dit; nor has the glut-ton.
