ongs to some one else.

Now, it is very wrong to swear, lie, or steal. God does not want us to
do any such things. All who do wicked things will some day be
punished.

[Illustration]

Some day we shall die, for all of us must die. If a man should be
going some place through the deep snow and should get lost and the
cold should freeze him, it would kill him. He would not live any
longer, but would be dead.

If we love God and live for him, he will give us a home in heaven
after we die; but if we are wicked, we shall be lost and punished for
our wicked ways after we die.

We should think about our life here and see that we live to please
God.

If we do not, when we come to die we may be like the man in the boat.
At one time he could have been saved--while he was floating on the
smooth waters. But he has let it go too far, and can only look forward
to his doom.

Let us love God and live for him on earth, so we can live with him in
heaven after we die. When Christ was here on earth he said: "I go to
prepare a place for you, ... that where I am, there ye may be also."

The Path of God

The path of God
That Jesus trod
Is just the path for me;
I'll walk each day
The narrow way,
Where all is victory.

Oh, let us fight
For truth and right,
And Satan e'er defeat;
God giveth grace
In every place
And victory complete.

Our life we give,
And e'er we'll live
For Christ, and tell his love
To fallen man
Where'er we can;
At last be crowned above.
