"Well, I might want to—let me see—I might want to look at something—and I couldn't. And I should want to be naughty sometimes."
"A little girl who loves God want to be naughty!"
"I love Him, I do love Him," said Susy. "And He may have my eyes. I guess I shan't want to look at any thing naughty."
"I dare say you will, Susy, but if you give your eyes to God, you know He will help them not to do wrong."
"Then I will give them to Him and welcome," said Susy.
"And as to your ears, after you have given them to God you will not let them listen to a word that you think He would not like them to hear. And you will take care to make them listen to people who try to teach you. They have behaved very well to-day, and I am sure you will give them to God."
"Yes papa, I will."
Then they knelt down together and Susy's papa prayed to God to hear all they had been saying and to be so good as to accept all Susy had now promised to give Him, and to keep her from ever forgetting her promise, but to make it her rule in all she said and all she did, all she saw and all she heard, to remember,
"I am not my own."
And then he taught her the lines you will find at the end of this book. They were written nearly two hundred years ago, but are just as good now as they were then; and may God help every child who reads about little Susy, to live according to this prayer.
