The Lamb. 1. Yonder comes a man with a poor, little lamb in his arms! See him cover it with the skirt of his coat to keep it warm'. How the poor thing shakes with the cold! It wants its dam';- do hear it cry for her': But it cannot make her hear, for she is dead'. Poor thing!! I fear it will suffer!. 2. Pray', good man,' take that poor lamb to the house, and to the fire'; wrap it in a warm cloth', and give it some new, warm milk to drink'. Now it has lost its mother', and wants a nurse', you must act the part of a mother toward it', and nurse it'; and you must let its life be of great value in your sight'. 3. It seems hard, indeed, for the lamb to lose its dam while so young', but it is the will of Him who does all things for the best of his vast family'. No doubt he has ordered this to try your patience', furnish you with a work of love', and teach you a great lesson.' |
