Exercise vertue, and rule well your toung.

THE PSALMS OF DAVID.
With an introductory study by N.D. Hillis.
Illustrated by Louis Rhead.

No David can fall so low but that Christ's mercy and God's love
can lift him from the depths of selfishness and sin back to the
throne of manhood and the sceptre of influence.--_Introductory
Study._

Even young children can grow to love the simpler and more peaceful (p. 69)
Psalms. The fine full-page pictures in this large well-printed volume
add to its beauty and interest.

SCIENCE, OUT-OF-DOOR BOOKS, AND STORIES OF ANIMALS

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.

Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings.
. . . . . . .
He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell,
How great is God Almighty,
Who hath made all things well.
KEBLE.
