STORIES FROM SWITZERLAND FOR JUVENILE READERS.
Boys and girls who have learned to read, are able to examine the Holy Bible, which is the book that tells us about God, and from which we learn about our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
They can also read this blessed book to aged persons who were not taught when they were young, and to blind people, or those who are sick.
I am about to relate a little story upon this subject.
Mr. Williams was one day walking in the fields; as he passed through a meadow in which some sheep were feeding, he saw a little boy about eight years old sitting under a tree. He was quite idle, and gaped and stretched his arms about as if he felt very uncomfortable.
Mr. Williams stopped and said, “My boy, are you well?”
“O, Yes,” answered the boy, “I am very well; but I am quite tired, and I do not know what to do.”
Mr. W. Have not you to look after these sheep?
