pass'd along,
And went into the town.

There soon, however, came along
A good Samaritan,
His heart was with compassion fill'd;
He went up to the man,

And found him wounded, bruised and sore,
And pour'd in oil and wine,
He placed him safe on his own beast,
And brought him to the inn.

For one night he took care of him,
And when about to leave
The inn, he said unto the host,
"You shall from me receive

All that is needful for your pains,
If you of him take care;
I will repay you all the cost;
Let him your kindness share."

The Saviour asked him, "Which of these
Was neighbour to the man
Who fell among the thieves?" He said
"The good Samaritan."

The Saviour said, "Go do likewise,
The suffering ones relieve,
Go show them love, and you indeed,
Eternal life shall have."

THE RICH FOOL.

There was a certain man who had
A very large, rich ground,
Which, when the harvest time came on,
With plenty did abound.

His barns were small, and they were fill'd;
He said, "What shall I do?"
He thought within himself and said,
"I know what I will do,

"I will tear down these little barns,
And build them larger still,
And with the fruit my ground doth yield,
Abundantly I'll fill.

"And I will then say to my soul,
'Thou hast much goods laid up;
Now therefore take thine ease, and fill
Thy thoughts with earthly hope."

But God said unto him, "Thou fool!
I will require of thee
This very night thy soul; then say
"Whose shall this plenty be?"

The fool is he who layeth up
For himself treasure here,
And calleth earthly pleasure, gain,
And earthly riches, dear.

THE LOST SHEEP.

The publicans and sinful poor,
Did come to Christ the Lord
When He was on the earth, that they
Might hear his gracious word.

The Scribes and Pharisees complained,
That He did these receive;
And murmur'd loud to all around,
And would not Him believe.

"This man receiveth sinful ones,
And talks and eats with them;"
When Jesus heard it, He did speak
This Parable to them:

If you should have an hundred sheep,
And one of them astray
Should go, would you not leave the rest,
And go out on your way,

To find the one that's lost, and
