haraohs, or as Jethros son! Embracd temptations gilded bait, Or shard the exiles bitter fate 1 Een now I hear the still small voice That whispers, Make the Lord your choice! Een now the God that Moses saw, Strives from the world my heart to draw. Oh Thou, whose grace when asked is given To lift the soul from earth to heaven,Lead me where living waters flowM And let me with thy lilies grow! 12 CHILDREN OF THE EIBLE. III. SAJflUEJL. EAELY PIETY. * And the child Samuel grew, and was in favor with theLord and also with men.—1 Samuel, 2 : 26. Samuel ministered before the Lord, being a child, girdedwith a linen ephod.—Verse 18. On shady hills the violets flower Gives out a sweet perfume;And roses in a ladys bower Are lovely in their bloom. The lily on the water lies, The sunflower decks the land; These all look upward to the skies,And own their Makers hand. But, oh! what bud, what blossom fair,With childhoods charms can vie, When in the gentle voice of prayerIt lifts its heart on high 1

SAMUEL PRESENTED TO ELI. SAMUEL. 13 In Shiloh once a harmless child In priestly garments stood,And servd, with spirit undefild, The altar of his God. It was a pleasant sight, to view How earnestly he sought,With all his heart and soul, to do What reverend Eli taught. At early dawn, when birds rejoice, Like them, he haild the sky;At night, when birds are hushd, his voice Breathd softer praise on high. God blessd him, and he daily grew. More holy, yet more mild ,A faithful priest, a prophet true,While yet in years a child. Beside the ark he flourishd fair, Like a green olive-tree.Oh, who young Samuels name can hear, Nor wish like him to be! Then early make the Lord your choice, And in his work delight;The children that obey his voice Are jewels in his sight. 14 CHILDREN OF THE EIBLE. IV. OE&&1&I1. EARLY PIETY THE BEST PREPARATION FORUSEFULNESS. I, thy servant, fear the Lord from my youth.—1 King?, IS: 12. The fear of God, my child, Is but another nameFor love, for worship
