or naughty, by what they do.
The labor of the righteous tendeth to life; the fruit of the wicked
to sin.

_October._--The leaves are falling off the trees. The days are now a
great deal shorter than they were. The grapes are ripe; it is time to
gather them. Christ compared himself to a vine, and his disciples to the
branches. Remember that it is to him we are to look for grace and
strength, to enable us to do what pleases him. The branches will not
bring forth fruit if they are parted from the vine.
[Illustration]
_November._--Now the weather is dark and dismal; you must amuse yourself
in doors. When you are tired of playing, come and sit down and read a
little. Here is a pretty picture book to look at. It is about the
"Histories in the Bible." I do not know any picture book with half so
many pretty pictures as those which are taken from the Bible.
[Illustration]
_December._--Now dreary winter reigns, and the year comes to its solemn
close. All the sins we have committed, this year against God, and all we
have done in obedience to his commands, are now written down in his
book. So our life will soon close; and we must then appear before God in
judgment, and render up our account for all the deeds done in the body,
whether they be good, or whether they be evil.
[Illustration]
I dare say you have read in your Testament, that Christ came down from
heaven to save sinners, and that all have sinned. He has promised to
hear all who call upon him. We cannot be happy unless we love him. Our
hearts are inclined to evil by nature, so that we do not like to hear
about him, unless he causes us to love him. Pray, then, that he would,
by the power of his Holy Spirit, enable you to love and serve him in
early youth.
