It was so long ago, indeed.
Yet all around me, everywhere,
Are little children still in need,
And when I love and cherish them
I serve the Babe of Bethlehem.

LESSON 12
THE CORRELATED LESSON
Take your Bibles and see how many verses you can find among your memory texts which tell us something that Abraham did, or some command that makes us think of something he did because he obeyed it so well. (Hebrews 11:8a, c; Luke 6:31; Proverbs 17:17; Hebrews 13:2.) Would you say that Abraham was loving? Might we think of Abraham then, when we read 1 Corinthians 13:4a? What is that whole chapter called in which it is said: “And Abram when he was called obeyed, and he went out not knowing whither he went”? In what book is the Faith Chapter? What is the number of the chapter? In what book is the Love Chapter found? What chapter? How did it happen that Abraham had angels for his guests one day? What command is there for us in the Bible about entertaining strangers and what reason is given? What verse do you think of when you hear the name of Noah? What one are you reminded of when you think of Adam in the Garden of Eden? What verse gives a meaning to the rainbow? What does a friend always do? In what book is that verse found? What kind of a book is it? What is the color for the books of poetry?
