“How great our God! How wise! How strong!”
Such is their never-ending song.
LESSON VII.
THE WORLD.—PART II.
Genesis i. 11-19.
When God made the dry land, there was nothing on it: it was bare. So God spake, and things grew out of the ground.
Trees came out of it; they were covered with green leaves of different shapes. Some were called oak trees, and some were called elm trees, and some beech trees. And some bore nice fruit, such as plum trees, apple trees, orange trees and fig trees.
Vegetables grew out of the earth; potatoes and beans, cabbages and lettuces: they are called vegetables.
Corn came out of it. Some corn is called wheat, and some corn is called barley, and some is called oats. The ears of corn bend down when they are ripe, and look yellow like gold.
God made the soft green grass to spring up, and flowers to grow among the grass: flowers of all colors, and of the sweetest smell. The yellow buttercup, the white lily, the blue violet, and the rose, the most beautiful of all flowers.
