Two boys in foreground playing a
fife and drum.]
It is the first of May. The boys and girls have gone to the woods to have
a good time. See them at their play.
The girls have wreaths in their hands.
Now they will crown some one Queen of the May. Who shall it be?
It should be the best girl, and that is Kate.
LESSON LI.
God small from world moon shine nut long ago
[Illustration: Small girl watching a tree. Two acorns shown in inset.]
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.
All your joys and griefs he knows,
Sees each smile and tear;
When to him you tell your woes,
Know the Lord will hear
