CHAPTER IX
SELECTIONS FOR MEMORIZATION
Little deeds of kindness,
Little words of love,
Make our earth an Eden,
Like the heaven above.

God make my life a little light,
Within the world to glow,—
A little flame that burneth bright.
Wherever I may go.
The world is so full of a number of things,
I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings.
—Stevenson
