+
+<p>Jesus had chosen twelve out of the many who flocked about Him wishing to
+be His disciples, and these twelve were called apostles. He sent them
+forth to preach the gospel, giving them power to cast out evil spirits
+and to heal diseases; and when they were about to go forth upon their
+mission, He gave them instructions regarding what they were to do, and
+warned them of the persecutions which would be heaped upon them. He also
+bade them be strong and not fear those who had power to kill the body
+only, because the soul was far more precious. So the apostles went out
+into the cities and towns and preached the word of God and carried
+blessing with them.</p>
+
+<p>When they came back they told Jesus what they had done, and they went
+with Him across the sea of Galilee to a quiet spot where they could rest
+and talk over their work.</p>
+
+<p>But the people went around the sea, or lake, to join them on the other
+side; and when Jesus saw the crowds He was sorry for them, and taught
+and healed them again as He had done so many times.</p>
+
+<p>In the evening His disciples urged Him to send the people away that they
+might buy food for themselves in the village; but Jesus said, &quot;Give ye
+them to eat.&quot;</p>
+
+<p>The disciples thought this would be impossible. &quot;We have here but five
+loaves and two fishes,&quot; they told Him; and when He said, &quot;Bring them
+hither to Me,&quot; they obeyed Him with wonder.</p>
+
+<p>Then Jesus commanded the people to sit down in groups upon the green
+grass; and He took the loaves and gave thanks to God for them, and broke
+them into pieces, handing them to His disciples to give to the people.</p>
+
+<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img src="img/008.gif" width="341" height="250" alt=""></div>
+
+<p>He divided the fishes also in the same way, and the disciples went about
+among the groups giving each person a share, and everyone had enough to
+eat; for although there were about five thousand men there, besides
+women and children, the food was sufficient for all. Even more than
+this, when the multitude had eaten all that they wanted, the disciples
+gathered up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces.</p>
+
+<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img src="img/009.gif" width="252" height="350" alt=""></div>
+
+<p>When the people saw this wonderful miracle which Jesus had done, they
+wished to make Him king at once, for they thought He was the Promised
+One for whom they had been so long waiting, and they did not know that
+the kingdom of Christ was not to be an earthly kingdom.</p>
+
+<p>But Jesus would not allow them to make Him king, and He left them and
+went up on the top of a mountain alone.</p>
+
+<p>On another occasion when a great crowd had gathered to hear Him and had
+been for a long time without food, He called His disciples to Him and
+told them that He felt very sorry for the people because they had been
+fasting three days, and He could not send them away so weak and hungry
+for fear they would faint before they could reach home.</p>
+
+<p>But His disciples said they did not know where they could get food for
+so many, as they were in the wilderness.</p>
+
+<p>Jesus asked them how many loaves of bread they had, and they told Him
+seven, and also a few small fishes.</p>
+
+<p>Then Jesus bade the people sit down on the ground around Him, and He
+took the seven loaves and the fishes and offered thanks to God;
+afterwards, He broke the loaves into pieces as He had done before and
+gave them, with the fishes, to His disciples, and the disciples
+distributed them among the people. As they gave out the food it
+continued to increase wonderfully, so that all the people were fed;
+and even after that there was food enough left so that they took up
+seven baskets full, although about four thousand men, with many women
+and children, had eaten.</p>
+
+<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img src="img/011.gif" width="238" height="350" alt=""></div>
+
+<p>These miracles show not only the power of our Lord, but His tenderness
+and thoughtfulness for those around Him in the everyday affairs of life.
+He not only cared for the souls of His people, but for their physical
+comfort as well; for His heart was ever open to the cry of human need.</p>
+
+<p>One of the first acts by which He manifested His power to the men who
+afterwards became His disciples, was an act of helpfulness.</p>
+
+<p>He saw two ships by the Lake of Gennesaret with the fishermen near by
+washing their nets, and going aboard one of the ships, which belonged to
+Simon Peter, He asked him to put out a little way from land; then, when
+His request had been complied with, He taught the people from the ship.</p>
+
+<p>After He had finished His teaching, He said to Simon, &quot;Launch out into
+the deep and let down your nets for a draught.&quot; Simon told Him that they
+had worked all night and had caught no fish, but that they would do as
+He bade them.</p>
+
+<p>And when they had done so, the net was filled so that it broke, and they
+had to call to their partners in the other ship to come and help them;
+and both ships were filled. Then Peter and James and John left all to
+follow Jesus.</p>
+
+
+
+<hr>
+<a name="JESUS_CALMS_THE_TEMPEST"></a><h2 class="chaphead">JESUS CALMS THE TEMPEST.</h2>
+
+<p>At one time when Jesus had entered a ship to cross the Sea of Galilee
+with His disciples, a great storm arose and the waves nearly covered the
+little vessel, so that they were apparently in great danger.</p>
+
+<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img src="img/013.gif" width="204" height="250" alt=""></div>
+
+<p>The disciples were frightened, but Jesus was asleep and the storm did
+not disturb Him. As it grew worse and worse and the disciples became
+more than ever afraid, they went back to where Jesus lay and wakened
+Him, crying out, &quot;Master, dost Thou not care that we perish?&quot;</p>
+
+<p>When they said this, Jesus arose and spoke to the winds and the sea,
+saying, &quot;Peace, be still!&quot; Then at once the wind went down and the sea
+became calm, and the hearts of the men were filled with wonder and still
+greater faith and awe, while they said to one another, &quot;What manner of
+man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?&quot; They had not yet
+learned that Jesus had power over all things whenever He chose to
+exercise it.</p>
+
+<p>At another time when the disciples had crossed the Sea of Galilee,
+expecting that Jesus would join them upon the other side, a storm came
+up, suddenly as before, and the waters were quickly piled up in great
+waves; for the lake was narrow and deep, and the storms usually burst in
+full fury with little warning, doing much harm before there was a chance
+to escape. At this time the disciples had hard work to row the boat
+against the wind, and it was tossed about here and there by the waves in
+the middle of the sea until, toward morning, Jesus went out toward it,
+walking upon the water.</p>
+
+<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img src="img/014.gif" width="315" height="250" alt=""></div>
+
+<p>When the disciples saw Him coming they thought it was a spirit and
+were frightened: but He spoke to them, saying, &quot;Be of good cheer; it is
+I, be not afraid.&quot;</p>
+
+<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img src="img/015.gif" width="377" height="250" alt="JESUS WALKING UPON THE WATERS."><br>
+<span class="imgcapt">JESUS WALKING UPON THE WATERS.</span></div>
+
+<p>Then Peter said: &quot;Lord, if it be Thou, bid me come unto Thee on the
+water.&quot;</p>
+
+<p>Jesus said, &quot;Come,&quot; and Peter stepped out upon the water and started
+toward the Master; but his faith was not strong enough, and as he began
+to sink he cried, &quot;Lord, save me!&quot;</p>
+
+<p>Jesus stretched out His hand and held him up. &quot;O thou of little faith,&quot;
+He said, &quot;wherefore didst thou doubt?&quot;</p>
+
+<p>When Jesus came into the boat the storm ceased, and soon they reached
+the shore. Then the disciples worshiped Him and said, &quot;Of a truth Thou
+art the Son of God.&quot;</p>

+<a name="RUTH_AND_NAOMI"></a><h2 class="chaphead">RUTH AND NAOMI.</h2>
+
+<p>The story of Ruth and Naomi is one of the sweetest and most touching of
+all the Bible stories. It shows the beauty of unselfish devotion and
+constant love, and the happiness which they brought, and teaches a
+lesson which is very helpful to us all.</p>
+
+<p>A long time ago, in the days of the judges of <img class="left" src="img/017.gif" width="321" height="426" alt="">Israel, there was a famine
+in the land of Canaan, and a man named Elimelech, whose home was in
+Bethlehem, went with his wife Naomi and his two sons to live in Moab.</p>
+
+<p>After they had been there a while Naomi's husband died, leaving her with
+the two sons. Then, by and by, the sons married, and their wives were
+very good to Naomi, and loved her. But it was only ten years before both
+of the sons died, and Naomi thought it was best for her to go back to
+her old home in Canaan; for she had been told that there was plenty in
+the land once more, and she wanted to see her own people and the
+relatives of her husband who was dead. So Naomi told her
+daughters-in-law to return to their own homes, because she could not
+expect them to be willing to leave everything for her sake.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;Go, each of you, to your mother's house,&quot; she said; &quot;the Lord deal
+kindly with you as ye have dealt with the dead and with me.&quot; But they
+both wept and clung to her, saying, &quot;Surely we will return with thee
+into thy land.&quot;</p>
+
+<p>Naomi, however, thought they would be unhappy if they left their own
+country, and she urged them to stay there and let her go alone; so one
+of them kissed her over and over again and promised to do as she bade;
+but the other, who was named Ruth, would not leave her.</p>
+
+<p>&quot;Entreat me not to leave thee,&quot; she pleaded, &quot;or to return from
+following after thee; for whither thou goest I will go, and where thou
+lodgest I will lodge; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God;
+where thou diest I will die, and there will I be buried; the Lord do so
+to me and more, also, if aught but death part thee and me.&quot;</p>
+
+<p>Then Naomi stopped urging her to return, and they went together to
+Bethlehem, where the friends of Naomi were very glad to welcome her and
+greeted her in a very friendly manner, saying again and again, &quot;Is this
+Naomi?&quot;</p>
+
+<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img src="img/019.gif" width="256"
+height="350" alt="THE ASCENSION INTO HEAVEN."><br>
+<span class="imgcapt">THE ASCENSION INTO HEAVEN.</span></div>
+
+
+<p>But she answered: &quot;Call me not Naomi, but call me Mara, for the Almighty
+hath dealt very bitterly with me.&quot; She said this because Naomi means
+&quot;pleasant&quot; and Mara means &quot;bitter,&quot; and the sorrowing widow felt that
+her life was a bitter rather than a pleasant one, since she had been
+bereaved of her husband and sons.</p>
+
+<p>There lived in Bethlehem a man named Boaz, who was a relative of Naomi's
+husband, and who was also very wealthy. He had <img class="right" src="img/020.gif" width="202" height="250" alt="">a large farm and
+many people, both men and women, worked in his fields, and as it was about
+the beginning of the barley harvest when the two women came to
+Bethlehem, these fields presented a busy appearance.</p>
+
+<p>Ruth wished to do something to help support herself and her
+mother-in-law, so she begged Naomi to let her go into the fields and
+glean after the reapers&mdash;that is, to gather up the barley that was left
+after they had made up the sheaves&mdash;and Naomi told her that she might
+go.</p>
+
+<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img src="img/021.gif" width="237" height="350" alt="THE PRODIGAL SON."><br><span class="imgcapt">THE PRODIGAL SON.</span></div>
+
+<p>Ruth happened to choose the field of Boaz to work in, and when the
+wealthy man came into the field and saw her, he said, &quot;The Lord bless
+thee!&quot; but he did not know who she was.</p>
+
+<p>As he went away he inquired of the head reaper about the young woman,
+and afterward he said to Ruth: &quot;Go not to glean in another field, but
+keep here close to my maidens.&quot; He also spoke to his young men about
+her, telling them to be kind and courteous to her, and he bade her go
+and drink of the water which they drew whenever she was thirsty.</p>
+
+<p>When Ruth wondered at his kindness and asked him why he was so good to a
+stranger, he told her that he had heard of her love for Naomi and her
+unselfish devotion, and he said: &quot;The Lord reward thee, and a full
+recompense be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings
+thou art come to trust.&quot; He invited her also to sit with his reapers at
+meal-time, and he waited upon her that she might have enough to eat and
+drink.</p>
+
+<p>When she had gone he commanded his young men to let her glean among the
+sheaves and to drop some handfuls purposely for her, and not to find
+fault with her or reprove her.</p>
+
+<p>So Ruth worked in the field all day, and then beat out the barley which
+she had gleaned and took it to the city to show Naomi, who was very
+glad, indeed, and very thankful.</p>
+
+<p>Naomi asked Ruth where she had gleaned, and when she had heard the whole
+story, she told her that Boaz was a near relative and that it was well
+for her to stay in his fields, as he had given her permission to do,
+until the end of the harvest. So Ruth kept close to the maidens who
+gleaned in the fields of Boaz until the end of both the barley and the
+wheat harvests.</p>
+
+<p>Then one night when Boaz was to have a winnowing of barley, Naomi told
+Ruth to make herself ready, putting on her best clothing, and to go to
+the winnowing and the feast and to ask Boaz what she should do.</p>
+
+<p>The winnowing is the fanning out of the straws from the kernels after
+the husks have been beaten off. A great many people helped about the
+work, and a feast was prepared for them.</p>
+
+<p>Ruth did as Naomi had told her to do. When she had informed Boaz that
+she was a near relative he said, &quot;Blessed be thou of the Lord, my
+daughter.&quot; Then he told her not to be afraid, but to bring the long veil
+which she wore, and when she had brought it he poured a large quantity
+of barley into it. She carried this to the city and gave it to her
+mother-in-law, telling her what Boaz had said, and Naomi was comforted;
+for she knew that Boaz would advise them wisely.</p>
+
+<p>After this Boaz went to the city and consulted with the chief men and
+those that were interested in the welfare of Naomi and Ruth, and when he
+found that it would be wronging no one, he told the people that he was
+going to take Ruth for his wife, and the people said, &quot;We are
+witnesses.&quot; So Boaz married Ruth; but in her new position as the wife of
+a very wealthy and influential man, this noble woman did not forget her
+love for Naomi, whom she still tenderly cared for. When a little son
+came to bless the union, Naomi rejoiced, for she felt almost as though
+it was her own little son, and she named him Obed and delighted in
+taking care of him.</p>
+
+<p>When Obed became a man he married and had a son named Jesse, who in turn
+became the father of David, the great king of Israel. Jesus Himself was
+of the House of David, and so God's promise to His chosen people was
+fulfilled.</p>

+<br>
+
+<p><img class="left" src="img/025.gif" width="182" height="250" alt="">Pharaoh, the King of Egypt, had made a law that every boy baby of the
+Hebrew race should be killed, and there was great sorrow because of it.
+But when Moses was born, his mother managed to hide him for three
+months; then she made a cradle, or little ark, and putting him into it,
+carried him down to a river and hid the cradle among the reeds there.</p>
+
+<p>Soon after this, Pharaoh's daughter came with her maidens to the
+river-side, and when she saw the beautiful child, she sent one of her
+maidens to bring it to her.</p>
+
+<p>She took the little boy to the palace and named him Moses, and he became
+a great man among the Egyptians; he knew, however, that he belonged to
+the Hebrew race, and when he saw how badly his own people were treated,
+he tried to help them; but at last he was obliged to leave Egypt, and
+became a shepherd, taking care of the flocks of a priest called Jethro.
+He also married Jethro's daughter.</p>

+<span class="imgcapt">THE GOOD SAMARITAN.</span></div>
+
+<p>After a time, God spoke to Moses out of a burning bush, and told him
+that he must go and rescue his people from the cruel Egyptians. Moses
+thought he could not do this; but God promised to help him, and to show
+him what he would be able to do with that help, God turned the rod which
+Moses carried into a serpent. Then God told Moses to pick the serpent
+up by the tail, and as he did so, it became a rod again. He showed him
+another sign, also; but Moses was still afraid, because he could not
+talk well and thought that Pharaoh would not listen to him. So God told
+him to take his brother Aaron for a spokesman.</p>
+
+<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img src="img/028.gif" width="303" height="250" alt=""></div>
+
+<p>Moses and Aaron, therefore, went into Egypt, where they called together
+the chief men among their own people, the Hebrews, or Israelites, and
+told them what God had commanded. Moses also did the miracles which God
+had given him power to do, and the people believed that God had sent
+him.</p>
+
+<p>After this Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh, and told him that it was the
+Lord's command that he should let the Israelites go. Pharaoh knew
+nothing about God, and became very angry, saying that Moses and Aaron
+kept the people from their work by telling them such things; and he
+treated the poor Israelites worse than before.</p>
+
+<p>But Moses had faith in God; so he was able to perform before the king
+the wonderful things that he had done before his own people; still,
+Pharaoh would not let the children of Israel go.</p>
+
+<p>Then Moses turned <img class="right" src="img/029.gif" width="154" height="250" alt="">the waters of the rivers into blood; and after that he
+caused large numbers of frogs to run over the land and through the
+houses, doing great harm. He also brought locusts and other insects to
+be a pest to the people, and caused many of the useful animals which
+belonged to the Egyptians to grow sick and die, doing all these wonders
+with the rod which God had given him. But Pharaoh would not listen to
+him.</p>
+
+<p>Then God commanded Moses again, and he brought other plagues upon the
+Egyptians; but Pharaoh would not give up.</p>
+
+<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img src="img/030.gif" width="374" height="250" alt=""></div>
+
+<p>At last, however, God sent a still more terrible trouble; for the
+first-born of every Egyptian family, and even the first-born among their
+flocks, died; although the Israelites, who were constantly praying to
+the Lord and making sacrifices, were spared, as they had been all the
+time.</p>
+
+<p>Then Pharaoh was frightened into obeying God, and he let the Israelites
+go; so they started at once for the land of Canaan, and the Lord guided
+them by a cloud, which at night looked like a pillar of fire.</p>
+
+<p>When the Israelites had reached the Red Sea, they found that Pharaoh
+was pursuing them with a large army. But God commanded Moses to stretch
+forth his rod over the sea; he did so, and the waters parted, making a
+high wall upon either side, so that the children of Israel passed
+through and reached the other side in safety. Pharaoh and his hosts
+followed and were all drowned.</p>
+
+<p>When the children of Israel saw that they were safe, they sang a
+beautiful song of praise to God, and then they went on their way again.</p>
+
+<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img src="img/031.gif" width="300" height="250" alt=""></div>
+
+<p>After they had traveled for some time, they were in need of bread and
+meat, and they complained about Moses because he had brought them to a
+land where they had not enough to eat. But God sent them plenty of
+quails and also a substance which they could use for bread. Later, when
+they wanted water, the Lord commanded Moses, and he struck a rock with
+his rod, and pure water poured out of it, so that the thirsty people and
+their animals had all that they wanted.</p>
+
+<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img src="img/032.gif" width="302" height="250" alt=""></div>
+
+<p>In this way God took care of them as they journeyed through the new and
+strange country toward the promised land, and Moses became the law-giver
+of the Israelites, receiving his commandments from God.</p>

+
+<p><img class="left" src="img/033.gif" width="149" height="250" alt="">Jacob and Esau were twin brothers, sons of Isaac and Rebekah. Esau was
+the dearer to his father; but Rebekah loved Jacob more, and she wished
+her favorite son to have the birthright, or larger portion of the
+property, which really belonged to Esau because he was a little the
+older.</p>
+
+<p>One day Esau came in from hunting, very tired and hungry, and sold his
+birthright to Jacob for a kind of stew called pottage.</p>
+
+<p>Afterward, when Isaac had grown very old, he sent Esau one day to get
+some of his favorite meat, saying that when he returned he should have
+his father's blessing.</p>
+
+<p>But Rebekah heard this and determined that Jacob should have the
+blessing instead. So she prepared meat, then dressed Jacob in some of
+his brother's clothing, covering his hands and neck with the skin of the
+kids, and sent him to his father; and Isaac blessed him, for his sight
+was dim, and he thought it was Esau.</p>
+
+<p>When the elder brother returned, he was very angry with Jacob, and Isaac
+was deeply grieved to think he had been deceived; but he blessed Esau as
+well, who became prosperous and had large possessions and great power.</p>
+
+<p style="clear: left;"><img class="right" src="img/034.gif" width="125" height="250" alt="">After this Jacob went to his mother's people, where he met Rachel, whom
+he loved very dearly. He told Laban, her father, that he would serve him
+faithfully seven years if Rachel might be his wife, and Laban consented
+to this; at the end of the seven years, however, he told Jacob that he
+must first marry Leah, as she was the older, but if he would serve
+another seven years he might have Rachel also. So Jacob served another
+seven years for Rachel, and then they were married.</p>
+
+<p>Later Esau and Jacob met and were very glad to see each other, for Jacob
+had repented of his sin, and God had forgiven him; while Esau forgave
+him also.</p>

+
+<p>Before his conversion to the faith of Christ, Paul was called Saul, and
+he persecuted the Christians, believing that they were doing wickedly
+and that he ought to punish them for it.</p>
+
+<p>But while he was in the midst of these persecutions, <img class="left" src="img/036.gif" width="210" height="250" alt="">and as he was
+journeying toward Damascus one day, he saw suddenly at noon-time, a
+light shining in the heavens which was greater than the light of the
+sun, and he and all that were with him fell to the earth in wonder and
+awe. Then Saul heard a voice speaking to him and saying, &quot;Saul, Saul,
+why persecutest thou Me?&quot; And Saul said, &quot;Who art Thou, Lord?&quot; And the
+voice answered, &quot;I am Jesus, whom thou persecutest.&quot;</p>
+
+<p>Then Saul was instructed as to what he was to do, and was told that he
+would become a minister of Christ. From that time Paul preached and
+taught the Christian religion, and converted many people to it.</p>
+
+<p>But he was persecuted in his new work as he had persecuted others, being
+finally taken prisoner and threatened with scourging; he declared
+himself a Roman citizen, however, and therefore safe from such
+treatment, and went on openly confessing his faith and telling of his
+conversion, and he appealed for protection to the Roman emperor.</p>
+
+<p>He was then put on board a ship as a prisoner to be taken to Rome. While
+they were at sea a violent storm came up, and Paul warned the sailors
+that they were in great danger; but they would not listen to him. At
+last the ship was wrecked, all on board being cast ashore upon an
+island, whither they had been carried, clinging to boards and broken
+pieces of the ship.</p>
+
+<p>The barbarous people of the island treated them kindly, building a fire
+that they might dry their clothing and get warm; for it was cold and
+they were, of course, drenched.</p>
+
+<p>The men were very glad to be safe once more; but a strange thing
+happened after a little: Paul gathered up an armful of sticks to put
+upon the fire, and as he placed them upon the flames, a viper, which is
+a kind of poisonous snake, came out of the bundle and clung to his hand;
+he shook it off into the fire, however, without the slightest sign of
+fear.</p>
+
+<p>Those who were about him thought that the hand would swell and that
+Paul would die from the effects of the bite, and they watched him
+closely, believing that this trouble was sent to him as a punishment for
+his sins. But no evil results came from the wound, and then the
+barbarians thought he was a god and looked upon him with great respect.</p>
+
+<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img src="img/038.gif" width="300" height="250" alt=""></div>
+
+<p>Paul and the men who were with him remained upon the island for three
+months. At the end of that time they went away in a ship, finally
+reaching Rome, where the prisoners were given up to the authorities; but
+Paul was allowed to live by himself, with only a soldier to guard him,
+and after a while he called the chief men of the Jews together and told
+them why he was there and preached to them the Word of God. His
+preaching was received by some with faith, but others did not believe.</p>

+<br>
+<br>
+<p>Paul went on preaching and teaching in Rome for two years, living in a
+house which he hired, and he brought many to Jesus. <img class="right" src="img/040.gif" width="202" height="250" alt="">He was a man of
+excellent education and a powerful preacher. His Epistles, given in the
+Bible, are full of power and the fire of conviction, and he did a
+wonderful work for the great cause in which he believed with all his
+heart.</p>
+
+<p>Paul was physically small and deformed; but mentally he was a giant. He
+had been taught the knowledge of the Romans, and was therefore well
+fitted to take up this new cause in a manner which would appeal to
+educated people as well as to those who had no learning.</p>

+<br>
+<br>
+<p>From the time of his conversion until his death he labored faithfully in
+the ministry of Christ, fearing no persecution or hardship when he
+could do the Master's bidding and teach His holy will. The work which he
+did was a wonderful work, and his influence in the Christian world has
+been a very remarkable one. Brave, untiring, devoted to the cause of
+Christ, he at last lost his life in that cause, adding another to the
+list of martyrs whose memory the world loves and reveres.</p>
+
+<p>The story of Paul's experiences reads like those tales of adventure
+which are so full of absorbing interest that when once they have been
+taken up, we do not feel like laying them down again until they are
+finished.</p>
+
+<p>This is true also of many others of the Bible stories, and great authors
+have taken their themes from them for the writing of books which have
+become famous.</p>
+
+<p>The more we study the Bible, the more wonderful it becomes, and the more
+we learn that in that marvelous book are set forth nearly all the
+experiences of which human life is capable, with the teaching which each
+of these experiences should bring and the lesson to be learned by the
+reading of them. In all the world there is not another collection so
+wonderful as this.</p>

+<a name="DAVID"></a><h2 class="chaphead">DAVID.</h2>
+
+<p><img class="left" src="img/043.gif" width="167" height="250" alt="">David, the son of Jesse, was a beautiful boy, who could charm by his
+wonderful music. But he was to be more than a &quot;sweet singer,&quot; for
+Samuel, the prophet of the Lord, declared that he should be King of
+Israel, and poured the sacred oil upon his head.</p>
+
+<p>Saul, who was then the King of Israel, had spells of insanity, and David
+was sent for to try and calm him by his music. In this he was so
+successful that after a time the king seemed to be entirely cured; so
+David returned to his home, and staid there quietly until his father
+sent him to the camp of the Israelites, with food for his brothers.</p>
+
+<p>He found Saul's army in great commotion, because Goliath, a mighty
+warrior of the Philistines, had come out before both armies and had
+offered to fight any man who should be sent against him.</p>
+
+<p>Goliath had a cap of brass on his head, and his body was well protected
+with a covering of iron and brass, while he carried a monstrous spear
+and sword, and a heavy shield. As he came before the two camps, he
+cried out: &quot;I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we
+may fight together!&quot;</p>
+
+<p>When David came up and heard the story, he said: &quot;Who is this
+Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?&quot; And David
+offered to go forth against Goliath.</p>
+
+<p>So he went out in his shepherd's dress, with only his staff and sling;
+and Goliath, who was very angry at this, cried out: &quot;Am I a dog, that
+thou comest against me with a staff?&quot; Then he began to make fun of
+David. But David answered: &quot;Thou comest against me with a sword and a
+shield; but I come against thee trusting in the Lord of Hosts, the God
+of Israel, whom thou hast defied.&quot;</p>
+<br>
+<br>
+<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img src="img/044.gif" width="300" height="250" alt=""></div>

+<span class="imgcapt">SAUL ANGRY WITH DAVID.</span></div>
+<br>
+<br>
+<p>Then, as Goliath came nearer, David took a stone from the bag at his
+side, and putting it into his sling, he took good aim, and it struck
+Goliath in the middle of the forehead and stunned him. As the giant
+fell, David ran up to him, and taking the mighty sword, cut off his head
+with it.</p>
+
+<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img src="img/046.gif" width="303" height="250" alt=""></div>
+
+<p>This act of David's brought a great victory to Saul's army, and the king
+was delighted with his courage; while Jonathan, Saul's eldest son, loved
+the boy from that time, and they became like brothers. David also
+married the daughter of Saul, and was placed over his men of war.</p>

+
+<p>But when all the people praised David, and Saul knew how much they
+loved him, he grew jealous, and David was obliged to fly for his life
+and hide himself from the king. During these wanderings, he wrote some
+of his most beautiful psalms.</p>
+
+<p>Saul, however, was finally killed, and at last David became king. He
+ruled Israel for nearly forty years, making it a great and powerful
+nation; and when he died he was buried at Jerusalem, which was called
+&quot;The City of David,&quot; because he had caused it to be taken from the

+<a name="THE_TOWER_OF_BABEL"></a><h2 class="chaphead">THE TOWER OF BABEL.</h2>
+
+<p>The sons of Noah were named Shem, Ham and Japheth. These sons in turn
+became the fathers of children so that the descendants of Noah were very
+numerous.</p>
+
+<p>One of these descendants, named Nimrod, was a mighty hunter and a man of
+power and authority in the land, and it has even been said that the
+people worshiped him as a god.</p>
+
+<p>In those days men liked to build high towers reaching away up toward the
+heavens. Perhaps they were afraid of another flood, and perhaps they
+simply wished to show what they could do; but however that may be, ruins
+of towers can still be seen in various parts of the world, one of the
+most noted of which is that of the &quot;Tower of Nimrod.&quot; It is forty feet
+high and stands on the top of a hill near the River Euphrates in Asia.</p>
+
+<p>In the time of Nimrod, the people said, &quot;Let us build us a city and a
+tower, whose top may reach unto Heaven; and let us make us a name, lest
+we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.&quot; So they began
+to build the tower, and they made it very strong indeed, and kept
+raising it higher and higher toward the heavens, thinking, Jewish
+tradition, or story, tells us, that they would have a shelter in which
+they would be perfectly safe from any flood which might come, or any
+fire. There were some of the people also who wished to use the tower as
+a temple for the idols which they worshiped. Six hundred thousand men
+worked upon this wonderful tower, so the story goes on to say, and they
+kept up the work until the tower rose to a height of seventy miles, so
+that, toward the last, it took a year to get materials for the work up
+to the top where the laborers were employed. Of course this story is
+exaggerated, but without doubt the tower rose to a great height and was
+a wonderful piece of work.</p>
+
+<p>God was not pleased with what the people were doing, however, because
+they thought themselves so great and powerful that they had no need of
+Him, and so He put an end to their bold plans.</p>
+
+<p>Up to this time all the people of the world had spoken the same
+language; but now, when they were working upon this wonderful tower,
+they commenced to talk in different tongues so that they could not
+understand each other, and there was great confusion. Owing to this,
+they were obliged to give up the building of the tower, and they
+separated themselves into groups, or divisions, each division speaking
+the same language, and then they spread out over the world, forming the
+various nations.</p>
+
+<p>The tower was called the Tower of Babel because of the babel, or
+confusion, of tongues which had taken place there, and it was left
+unfinished to be a monument of God's power and man's weakness without
+Him.</p>
+
+<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img src="img/051.gif" width="268" height="350" alt="THE TOWER OF BABEL."><br>
+<span class="imgcapt">THE TOWER OF BABEL.
+</span></div>
+
+<p>These men were skillful in building, else they never could have gone as
+far as they did in their stupendous work, and God was willing that they
+should exercise their skill, as He is willing that people shall do now;
+but when they thought themselves equal to Him, they learned how weak
+they really were in comparison. The story teaches the great lesson of
+dependence upon God and submission to His will and His laws.</p>

+<a name="THE_BOYHOOD_OF_JESUS"></a><h2 class="chaphead">THE BOYHOOD OF JESUS.</h2>
+
+<p>There are many beautiful stories of child-life, but the story of the
+Boyhood of Jesus is the most beautiful of all. It teaches a wonderful
+lesson of obedience to parents and love and respect for them, as well as
+of the charm of a pure and consecrated childhood, and the lesson is all
+the more <img class="left" src="img/053.gif" width="187" height="250" alt="">helpful because it is full of the human interest of everyday
+life.</p>
+
+<p>Although the boy Jesus was gifted with a wisdom far beyond His years&mdash;a
+wisdom which was His because He was the Son of God, yet He lived much as
+other boys lived, doing the tasks that were given Him by His parents and
+being subject to them in all things.</p>
+
+<p>Probably the people around Him did not think very much about what He
+said or did during those years. When they saw Him helping Joseph, the
+carpenter, or doing the little things which Mary, His mother, bade Him
+do, He seemed much like other little boys to them; they thought Him
+bright and pleasing, and it may be that there was something in His looks
+and in His manner which puzzled them, which set them to thinking of holy
+things in a wondering way; but Mary was the only one who dwelt upon the
+mystery of His life with a constant prayerful questioning as to just
+what the meaning of it was.</p>
+
+<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img src="img/054.gif" width="269" height="350" alt=""></div>
+
+<p>Mary treasured all His sayings in her heart and believed that the time
+would come when everyone would know that He was not simply an ordinary
+child like those around Him.</p>
+
+<p>After Joseph had brought his family back from Egypt because, now that
+Herod was dead, it was safe for them to come into their own country
+again, they lived in the city of Nazareth, and so the words of the old
+prophets were true, that Jesus, the Savior of the World, should be a
+Nazarene, or dweller in Nazareth.</p>
+
+<p>Every year the Jews held a feast at Jerusalem called the Feast of the
+Passover, in memory of the time when God passed over, or spared, His
+chosen people in Egypt, although He destroyed the first-born of the
+Egyptians. When Jesus was twelve years old He went to Jerusalem with
+Joseph and Mary to attend this feast.</p>
+
+<p>There were many of the relatives and friends of the family there, and
+when they started home after the feast, there was probably some
+confusion about getting the company under way, for they traveled in a
+train consisting of people on foot and mounted upon donkeys, and they
+had, of course, some needful provisions to take with them, together with
+the things which they had brought for their comfort upon the journey and
+during their stay in Jerusalem; and as the parents of Jesus did not
+think of His remaining behind, they neglected to look for <img class="right" src="img/056.gif" width="191" height="250" alt="">Him, supposing
+He was somewhere in the train; so, when they had traveled for a day on
+the return trip, they were greatly surprised and troubled to find that
+He was missing.</p>
+
+<p>They immediately started back for Jerusalem, wondering as they went what
+could have happened to their boy and fearful about it; but after three
+anxious days they found Him in the temple talking with the learned men
+there, listening to their wise words, and asking questions which
+astonished everybody who heard them, because they were full of an
+understanding of holy things that was not to be expected of a boy.
+When His parents had found Him, Mary said to Him, sorrowfully, &quot;Son, why
+hast Thou dealt thus with us? Thy father and I have sought Thee
+sorrowing.&quot;</p>
+
+<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img src="img/057.gif" width="255" height="350" alt=""></div>
+
+<p>Then Jesus turned to her with sad and gentle respect, and asked, &quot;How is
+it that ye sought Me? Wist ye not&quot;&mdash;that is, &quot;Do you not know&quot;&mdash;&quot;that I
+must be about My Father's business?&quot;</p>
+
+<p>Perhaps in these words He tried to give them an insight into the great
+meaning of His life; but they were puzzled, although Mary dimly felt all
+that He would have her understand. He did not at this time, however,
+explain to them further regarding what was in His own heart. It may be
+that He did not yet fully comprehend just what He was to do. He had
+taken upon Himself the human nature which He was to raise to something
+grander and nobler than human nature had ever been before, and in
+becoming a little child like other little children, perhaps it was God's
+plan that He should not yet have the judgment of a man in all things.</p>
+
+<p>However that may have been, He went back with His parents and obeyed
+them as before, for the time had not come for Him to leave them and
+begin His teaching, except as He taught by the force of a beautiful
+example. But that example formed a great part of the purpose for which
+He was sent into the world, because one of the noblest truths that He
+impressed upon humanity was the duty of children to parents. His own
+life taught this better than any sermon could have done, for in all the
+history of the world we have no better example of what a child's conduct
+should be toward his parents. It is the more beautiful because Jesus was
+not like other children, but, having the wisdom of God in His heart, was
+far better able to judge for Himself between right and wrong.</p>
+
+<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img src="img/059.gif" width="252" height="350" alt=""></div>
+
+<p>During all these years Jesus grew in stature as well as in wisdom, and
+those around Him felt, without understanding it, that in some way He was
+different from the rest. The divinity of His nature could not be hidden,
+even in those early years, but it shone through all the small acts of
+everyday life, making them beautiful; while every one who knew Him was
+better and happier for coming near such a noble nature.</p>

+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in

+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or

+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the

+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:

+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the

+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.

+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or

+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.

+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or

+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+

+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's
+eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
+compressed (zipped), HTML and others.
+
+Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
+the old filename and etext number.  The replaced older file is renamed.
+VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
+new filenames and etext numbers.
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
+
+EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000,
+are filed in directories based on their release date.  If you want to
+download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular
+search system you may utilize the following addresses and just
+download by the etext year.
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06
+
+    (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99,
+     98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90)
+
+EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are
+filed in a different way.  The year of a release date is no longer part
+of the directory path.  The path is based on the etext number (which is
+identical to the filename).  The path to the file is made up of single
+digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename.  For
+example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234
+
+or filename 24689 would be found at:
+     https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689
+
