LITTLE ONES AT HOME. 77

 

Now hold up your mouth and give me a sweet

kiss—
Our shadows kiss too! don’t you see it quite
plain?

“Oh yes; and I thank you for telling me this:

   

I’ll not be afraid of a shadow again.”
M. L. Duncan.

 

THE LORD’S PRAYER.
Our Father, our Father in heaven,
Be hallowed thy glorious name ;
To thee let the kingdom be given,
Thy will we acknowledge supreme.

We would by thy bounty be fed,
By infinite mercy forgiven ;
Nor into temptation be led,
Nor into sad evils be driven.

For thine is the kingdom, O Lord, —
The power and the glory are thine ;
Be for ever and ever adored,

On earth as in heaven divine.
Hastings’ “‘ Nursery Songs.”

 

BE PLEASANT.
When little ones worry,
Their parents feel sorry,

And all who are near them are sad;
