      Morning Bells

      Thy Holy Child Jesus

      Even Christ pleased not Himself

      Hold Thou me up, and I shall be safe

      Bear ye one another's burdens

      Yield your members as instruments of righteousness unto God

      Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly

      Faithful over a few things

      Put that on mine account

      Let thy garments be always white

      Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us

      Who giveth us richly all things to enjoy

      The Lord is able to give thee much more than this

      Whatsoever the king did pleased all the people

      A new heart also will I give you

      I will put my Spirit within you

      The Lord shall fight for you

      I will watch to see what He will say unto me

      He careth for you

      Under His wings shall thou trust

      I am with you alway

      Teach me to do Thy will

      Ye have done it unto me; Ye did it not to me

      Thou hast given a banner to them that fear Thee

      Chosen to be a soldier

      That he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier

      Whatsoever He saith unto you, do it

      Whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord

      As seeing Him who is invisible

      Let us lay aside every weight

      Thou hast also given me the shield of Thy salvation

      I will love Thee, O Lord

      Morning Bells.

      Most of the readers of this little book will have already read Little Pillows. Those were given you to go to sleep upon night after night; sweet, soothing texts, that little hearts might rest upon.

      But in the morning we want something to arouse us, and to help us to go brightly and bravely through the day. So here are Morning Bells to waken up the little hearts, and to remind them that we must not only rest in Jesus, but walk in Him. If the motto of Little Pillows might be Come to Jesus, the motto of Morning Bells might be Follow Jesus.

      May He who loves the little ones bless this tiny effort to help them to follow Him day by day.

      1. First Day.

      Christ's Childhood.

      Thy holy child Jesus.--Acts iv. 30.

      If I asked, How old are you? you would give an exact answer. Eight and a half; Just turned ten; Eleven next month. Now you have thought of God's holy child Jesus as a little baby, and as twelve years old in the temple, but did you ever think of Him as being exactly your own age? that He was once really just as old as you are this very day? He knows what it is to be eight, and nine, and ten years old, or whatever you may be. God's word has only told us this one thing about those years, that He was a holy child.

      What is holy? It is everything that is perfectly beautiful and good and lovable, without anything to spoil it. This is just what He was when He was your age. He was gentle and brave, and considerate and unselfish, noble and truthful, obedient and loving, kind and forgiving,--everything you can think of that you ever admired or loved in any one else was all found together in Him, and all this not only outside, but inside, for He was holy.

      Why did He live all these holy child-years on earth instead of staying in heaven till it was time to come and die for you? One reason was, that He might leave you a beautiful example, so that you might wish to be like Him, and ask for the Holy Spirit to make you like Him. But the other was even more gracious and wonderful, it was that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. That is, that all this goodness and holiness might be reckoned to you, because you had not any of your own, and that God might smile on you for His sake, just as if you had been perfectly obedient, and truthful, and unselfish, and good, and give you Jesus Christ's
