DAN AND BENJAMIN. 81

DAN AND BENJAMIN.

“ Israel, that saw his works of grace,
Yet tempt their Maker to his face ;
A faithless, unbelieving brood,
That tir’d the patience of their God.

“ Look back, my soul, with holy dread,
And view those ancient rebels dead ;
Attend the offer’d grace to-day,

Nor lose the blessing by delay.

‘* Seize the kind promise while it waits,
And march to Zion’s heavenly gates ;
Believe, and take the promis’d rest ;
Obey, and be for ever blest.”

WATTS.

parting instructions.

Johnnie. How old was Joshua when he died ?

Grandfather. One hundred and ten years old.

George. Were there no Canaanites left in the country
