Do you see that tall tree?
Long ago it sprang up from a small nut.
Do you know who made it do so?
It was God, my child. God made the world and all things in it. He made the sun to light the day, and the moon to shine at night.
God shows that he loves us by all that he has done for us. Should we not then love him?
LESSON LII.
Lord smile joys tears nigh morn griefs woes stars say
[Illustration: Sunset; lake in foreground; moon and stars.]
When the stars, at set of sun,
Watch you from on high;
When the light of morn has come,
Think the Lord is nigh
All you do, and all you say,
He can see and hear;
When you work and when you play,
Think the Lord is near.
