Babcock. + + 1842. + + + + +BIBLE + +STORIES AND PICTURES. + + + + +[Illustration] + +MOSES VIEWING CANAAN. + + +When the children of Israel were journeying from Egypt to the land of +Canaan, Moses disobeyed one command of the Lord. For this act, God +told him he should not enter the Land of Promise. But as Moses +repented of his sin, God said he should be permitted to see the land. + +So, when they arrived near Canaan, God said to Moses, Go to mount +Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, and I will shew thee the land which I have +promised to the children of Israel; and after that thou shalt die. + +Then Moses went to the top of the mount, where he could see the land +which the children of Israel were to inherit. And God then said to +Moses, This is the land which I promised to Abraham, to Isaac, and to +Jacob; I have caused thee to see it, but thou shalt not go into it. + + + + +[Illustration] + +SAMSON CARRYING AWAY THE + +GATES OF GAZA. + + +Samson was one of the judges of Israel, after the death of Moses. He +was the strongest man that ever lived. In his time the Philistines +were at war with the Israelites. These Philistines were a nation of +heathen, who worshipped idols instead of the great God who made us +all. Samson in one battle killed a thousand of them with the jaw-bone +of an ass. After this, they found out one night that he was in their +walled city, called Gaza, and so they fastened the great gates of the +city, thinking they could in this way keep him there till morning, and +then kill him. + +But Samson arose at midnight and took the two great gates of the city, +with the bar and the gate posts, and carried them to the top of a high +hill, a great way off. In this way he escaped out of the hands of his +enemies. + + + + +[Illustration] + +DAVID AND GOLIATH. + + +While Saul was king of Israel, the Philistines made war upon him and +his people. Among them was a giant, named Goliath, who went out in +front of Saul's camp, in the morning and evening, for forty days, and +offered to fight any man in his army. + +David, who was then a mere shepherd-boy, heard of this giant and his +boastful challenge. He offered to go out and fight Goliath, trusting +that God would enable him to conquer this proud enemy of his people. So +he went out, taking with him only his sling and a few smooth pebbles. +When Goliath saw him, he laughed at the Israelites for sending a mere +boy to fight him. But David threw a stone with his sling with such force +as to drive it into the giant's forehead. He then cut off his head with +Goliath's own sword, and carried it to king Saul in triumph. + + + + +[Illustration] + +JOHN BAPTIZING CHRIST. + + +When Jesus Christ was about thirty years old, he began to preach the +glad tidings of salvation. About the same time, John the Baptist was +also preaching to the people and baptizing them. He lived in the +wilderness, and wore a garment of camel's hair, with a leathern girdle +about his loins. He told of the coming of Christ, and warned all to +repent of their sins. Many believed and were baptized. + +Jesus also went to him to be baptized. John with great humility said, +I have more need to be baptized by thee. But Jesus answered, Suffer it +to be so this time. Then John baptized him in the river Jordan, and as +he was coming out of the water, the Spirit of God descended upon him +in the form of a dove, and a voice from heaven was heard, saying, This +is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. + + + + +[Illustration] + +WATER CHANGED TO WINE. + + +One of the first miracles performed by our Savior, was at Cana in +Gallilee. There was a wedding there, and he and his disciples were +among the guests. Mary, the mother of Jesus, was also one of the +company. Before the wedding feast was over, the wine was all gone, and +Mary said to her son, They have no wine. Then Jesus ordered the +servants to fill six water-pots, which were standing near, with water; +and they filled them up to the brim. He then said to them, Draw out +now and bear some to the ruler of the feast. And they did so. + +When the ruler of the feast, who knew nothing of all this, had drank +of the water which was made wine, he said to the bridegroom, Most men +serve out the best wine first, and after that the poorer; but you have +kept the good wine till now. + + + + +[Illustration] + +CHRIST BLESSING CHILDREN. + + +Some mothers brought their little children to the Savior, that he +might bless them. His disciples, however, told the women to go away +and not trouble their master with children. Then Jesus, hearing this, +reproved his disciples and said, Suffer little children to come unto +me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven. And he +then took them in his arms and blessed them. + +Should you not like the Lord Jesus to bless you, my dear little +reader? Then pray to him and he will do so. He is the same kind friend +to little children now that he was then, and he loves all who love and +serve him. Try, then, to be good, and he will love and bless you. You +will then be happy in this world, and when you come to die you will go +to heaven and be happy with him in the world to come. + + + + +[Illustration] + +CONVERSION OF SAINT PAUL. + + +There was a young man named Saul; he was a Pharisee, and a man of +great learning, but he hated all the followers of Christ, who were +then called, as they are now, by the name of Christians. So great was +his hatred, that he put many of them in prison and was in favor of +having others put to death. + +Once, when he was going to the city of Damascus, with authority to take +the followers of Jesus prisoners, a light suddenly shone upon him with +exceeding great brightness. It was so dazzling that he could not bear +it, and he fell from his horse to the ground. At the same time he heard +a voice calling out, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And Saul +asked, Who art thou, Lord? Then the voice answered, I am Jesus, whom +thou persecutest. Then said Saul, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? He +was told to go to the city and he should be there shown what to do. + +When he arose from the ground he was entirely blind, and was led by +his attendants to the city, and in three days his sight was again +restored to him. + +After this he was called Paul, and became one of the most energetic +preachers of the gospel that the Christian religion ever had. By his +zeal and learning he was able to confound all the Jews, and to prove +that Jesus was the Christ,--the Son of God. At last, after a life of +great usefulness, but of much trial and suffering, he was cruelly +beheaded by the enemies of his divine Lord and Master. + + +[Illustration] + + + + +Transcriber's Note + + + *Spelling errors have been corrected. + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Bible Stories and Pictures, by Anonymous + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK BIBLE STORIES AND PICTURES *** + +***** This file should be named 36611.txt or 36611.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + http://www.gutenberg.org/3/6/6/1/36611/ + +Produced by Larry B.

U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is 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. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://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. |
