III. Object, a Pin. Sharp, straight, and shining. How many for a penny? Thirty persons to make it. So little and cheap, not valued. So of common blessings—air, light, water. Feel your pulse. Not live without it. So learn to value little things.
See its value in need, as in storms, cold, etc. So value Bible, health, school, church, etc., while you have them.
Bend it, and it becomes crooked,—so crooked tempers, tongues, etc.
IV. A Sprig of Evergreen, broken off, may teach us to abide in Christ.
V. Salt, as a grand preservative. A Rotten Apple, influence and decay.
VI. Flowers, so beautiful and frail. A pansy may teach humility, a daisy, cheerfulness, a rose, goodness and virtue, a lily, purity, etc.
XIV.
THE BLACKBOARD.
