THE HOLY BIBLE.

This is the Book which God has kindly giv'n,
To guide me in the path that leads to Heav'n.
The Bible, or the Scripture, is its name;
Which shews me all my folly, sin, and shame :
It bids me, though a child, to go to God,
And ask for pardon through a Saviour's blood :
It tells me, nothing good or holy I can do,
Unless the Spirit doth my soul renew :
It teaches where to look when in distress,
That God alone can all

my sorrows bless;
And help me so to live, and so to die,
That I the name of Christ may glorify.
This precious treasure may I always love,
Till Jesus call me to the realms above;
And there, with Holy Angels, I shall sing
Hallelujah, to Jesus Christ my King.

THE ORDER OF CREATION. First Day Creation of the heaven and the earth, light, the distinction of day and night.-Gen. i. 1-5.

Second Day. Creation of the firmament, and division of the upper and lower waters.-Gen. i. 6.

Third Day, The earth is drained ; seas, lakes, &c. formed; trees, plants, and vegetables are produced.Gen. i. 1. 13.

Fourth Day. The sun, moon, planets, and stars, produced.--Gen. i. 14-19.

Fifth Day. Fowls and fishes created.-Gen. i. 20— 23.

Sixth Day. Wild and tame beasts, insects, reptiles, and man.-Gen. i. 24–31.

Seventh Day. A day of rest, hallowed, and set apart as such for ever.-Gen. ii. 2, 3.

The above Lesson is used as follows. Three Monitors are placed out; one Monitor says, First Day. Second Monitor answers, Creation of the heaven and the earth, light, and the distinction of day and night. The third Monitor repeats the text thereon, naming in what book, chapter, and verse, the same may be found, and thus they continue till the end of the seventh day.

The Teacher then taking up the Lesson, puts some such questions as follow :

T. When did God create the heaven ?-C. On the first day.

T. What did God create more on the first day?-C. The earth.

T. When did God create the trees ?-C. On the third day.

T. What did God do on the fourth day ?-C. Made the sun, moon, planets, and stars.

T. What do trees grow on ?-C. The earth.

T. What did God make out of the earth on the sixth day?-C. Man.

T. What was the work of the second day?-C. The creation of the firmament, and dividing the waters.

T. What swim and live in the water ?-C. The fish.
T. When were fish made ?–C. On the fifth day.
T. What was the first thing created with life?-C. Trees.

T. What life have trees!--C. Vegetable life.

T. What was the second thing created with life ?C. Fowls and fish.

T. What life have fowls and fish ?- Animal life.

T. On which day was the mineral kingdom created ?C. The first.

T. When was the vegetable kingdom created 1-C. On the third day.

T. When was the animal kingdom created ?-C. On the fifth and sixth day.

T. How many kingdoms are there in nature?-C. Three.
T. Name them.-C. Animal, vegetable, and mineral.
T. Who made all things ?-C. God.
T. Who gave life to all things ?-C. God.

T. Give me Scripture texts to prove this.-C. John i. 3. Acts xpii. 28.

Thus the intelligent Teacher may lead his little ones to a knowledge of the works of nature, and, through them, to a knowledge of nature's God.

[Tune.-Smyrna. God first created heav'n and earth,

With light to cheer the way;
To day and night he then gave birth,

Which ended the first day.
The firmament God next creates,

Now deck'd in grand array;
The waters, too, he separates,

Then clos'd the second day.
He drain’d the earth, form'd rich display

Of herbs, and plants, and trees,
And clos'd his work on this third day,

By forming lakes and seas.
The fourth day saw the glorious sun

Commence his bright career ;
The moon, stars, planets, then begun

The midnight gloom to cheer.
The little birds, with lively song,

This fifth day quickly sweep
The air, in journies short or long;
Fish swim the mighty deep.
