+
+ORRIN PIERCE.
+
+
+
+
+[Illustration]
+
+The cottage where Orrin Pierce was born stood by the side of a clear
+bright stream not far from the sea-shore. This cottage had a thatched
+roof, and was surrounded by a plain fence.
+
+Orrin's mother was very fond of flowers, and the little yard in front
+of the cottage was filled with many beautiful plants and shrubs; some
+of them were trained up about the upper window and around the door. A
+marten's house stood on a post one side of the cottage, where three
+twittering birds built their nests in safety.
+
+Everybody that passed Mrs. Pierce's house, looked at it with pleasure,
+and some even stopped to admire its neatness and comfortable appearance.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration: Noah.]
+
+Mrs. Pierce was an excellent woman; she feared God and instructed her
+little son out of the Scriptures. Before he was old enough to read,
+she used to read to him about the creation of the world; and before he
+was four years old, he could tell a great deal of Scripture history.
+He knew about the temptation and fall of man; the story of Noah; the
+deluge; the history of Joseph; the account of the Israelites in Egypt;
+the plagues sent upon Pharaoh; the departure of the children of Israel
+out of Egypt; their journey through the wilderness, and their entrance
+into the promised land. He also could relate the story of Daniel; of
+Israel, and many other accounts from the Bible.
+
+Those who do not read the Bible are ignorant of some of the most
+interesting and important parts of the world's history.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Sometimes Mrs. Pierce would walk out with little Orrin, and she always
+used to talk with him, so as to improve his mind. She would make him
+observe the works of God, and tell him of the wonders of Creation.
+Orrin was very fond of going to the sea-shore, and when he had been
+a good boy his mother would go there with him. He always took with
+him a basket to put his shells in, for there were many shells on the
+beach. His little dog, Dash, always went with him, and when Orrin threw
+a stick into the water, Dash would plunge in, and swim after it, and
+bring it to his little master.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Often during the summer, when the evenings were mild and pleasant, she
+would walk in the fields with Orrin, and they would sit down to enjoy
+the beauty of the scene. The calm, full moon, shining above them, shed
+a soft light on all around. Sometimes a cloud would pass over it and
+hide for a moment its brightness, and they would watch for it as the
+cloud moved on, and it would suddenly burst upon their sight; on such
+occasions, Orrin used to repeat some passages of Scripture to his
+mother, giving thanks to God, who made the moon and stars to shine by
+night.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Orrin loved very much to see the different animals, that are for the
+use of man. He liked horses and cows and dogs very much, but best of
+all he liked the sheep and lambs. There was a field not far from his
+mother's cottage where a flock of sheep were often kept. He used to
+watch the shepherd taking care of the sheep, and when he noticed how
+readily they followed him, he thought of the words of Christ, "My sheep
+hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me." He also remembered
+that this harmless animal was employed as a type of Christ, who is
+called "the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Mrs. Pierce gave her little son a place for a garden, which the
+gardener used to dig up for him. She gave him different seeds of plants
+and flowers. She bought him a shovel, a rake and a hoe, of a suitable
+size for a little boy. Here he used to amuse himself for hours. He had
+one tree in his garden which would not thrive, though he had bestowed
+much labour upon it, but finally he determined to remove it. Indeed the
+branches were many of them dead. He told his mother he was reminded of
+the passage in Luke xiii. 6, 9, for he had waited long for fruit, but
+found none, and he was going to remove the worthless tree.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+On a pleasant afternoon, it was very delightful to walk in Mrs.
+Pierce's garden. Orrin's garden spot was as neat and in quite as good
+order as his mother's. The roses were so fragrant, and the various
+colours of the numerous flowers so pleasing to the eye, that all
+admired who beheld them. The butterflies roamed from flower to flower
+undisturbed: the humming-birds and bees took their portion of the
+sweets, and pretty singing birds fluttered among the branches. Mrs.
+Pierce used often to point to the beautiful lilies, and say to Orrin,
+"Consider the lilies, how they grow, and remember the instruction they
+give."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+You may be sure Orrin was early taught to pray; and that he was careful
+never to forget or neglect this duty. He did not wait till after he
+was in bed, either, but kneeled down before he became sleepy, so that
+he might pray with the understanding. He used to pray for a new heart,
+so that he might love holiness and hate sin. He also prayed for the
+forgiveness of his sins. Sometimes he prayed when he was in the field
+or on his way to school, when he thought he should not be observed.
+He thanked God for all his mercies, but more than all for the gift of
+the Saviour; and when quite young, he could repeat many very pleasing
+verses about the love of Christ for this sinful world.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+One day when Orrin was on his way to the Sabbath-school, he met a boy
+going across a field with a kite in his hand. He did not know the boy,
+but he knew he was about to commit sin, so he asked him if he would
+not leave his kite and go to the Sabbath-school. He opened his book
+and showed him where the lesson was, and told him that he would be
+much happier in learning to keep God's commandments, than all his
+kite-flying could make him. The boy thought so too, and was willing to
+take advice, so he hid his kite behind the fence, and went with Orrin.
+We should try to do good to all as we have opportunity.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+The next day he met the same boy flying his kite. He stopped as Orrin
+approached him, and said, "I thought yesterday when you asked me to go
+to the Sabbath-school that it was a pity to give up flying my kite,
+because there was such a good wind, but to-day the wind is just as
+good, and I have had a fine time with my kite." So he lost no pleasure,
+but gained much good. Orrin stayed a while and played with this boy,
+and told him he hoped to see him again at Sunday-school; and so he did,
+for he continued to attend regularly from that time.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Orrin's mother was almost sorry when he was too old to be kept at
+home under her instruction. She felt afraid that when he began to
+be more from her watchful care he might become more like those boys
+whose company she had always directed him to avoid. He was very fond
+of study; and his teacher soon noticed him as a boy who would be an
+example to the school. He was always in his place when the bell rang
+for nine o'clock, and his lessons were well learned. His mother was
+much pleased with the accounts she received from his teacher, of his
+good conduct.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+When Orrin was about fourteen years old, he met with the greatest
+affliction that could have been sent upon him. This was the death of
+his excellent mother. She was sick for a long time, and had a very good
+physician, but God did not see fit to restore her to health, and she
+was quite ready to submit to His will. Her only anxiety was for her
+son, and even this care she was able to commit to the Lord, who has
+promised to be a father to the fatherless. She talked much to Orrin,
+and told him that she had trained him up thus far, in the way he should
+go, and charged him not to depart from it.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+A great number of friends and neighbours followed Mrs. Pierce to the
+grave. She was greatly beloved by all who knew her, but none could
+mourn for her as her poor afflicted boy did. When he saw his mother
+laid in the grave, he felt as if he had not a friend on the earth.
+True, he had neither sister nor brother. His father died when he was
+an infant, and now his precious mother was taken away. But God could
+supply to him all that he had lost, and be to him more than all earthly
+friends, even one who would never leave him nor forsake him.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Day after day, Orrin went to the graveyard, to visit the tomb of his
+beloved parent. He used to take with him the Bible, which they had so
+often read together, and read those passages which she delighted in.
+He was much comforted by these words of the Lord Jesus Christ, "I am
+the resurrection and the life. He that believeth in me, though he were
+dead yet shall he live, and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall
+never die. The hour is coming in the which all that are in their graves
+shall hear the voice of the Son of Man, and shall come forth; the
+followers of Christ to enter into heaven, and his enemies to be cast
+into hell."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+After his mother's death, Orrin went to live with a kind uncle, a
+brother of Mrs. Pierce, who lived a great distance off, so that Orrin
+went there in a ship. Then God raised up a friend for this orphan-boy.
+His uncle had a little daughter much younger than Orrin, whose name was
+Jane. As he never had a sister, it was very pleasant to have such a
+little companion as Jane. His aunt was very kind and affectionate to
+him, but no one was like his mother. Though he was very sad for a long
+time, he tried to overcome such feelings, and, by dutiful conduct, to
+show his kind uncle and aunt that he was grateful to them.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Jane had not received as much instruction as Orrin had, and he was very
+happy to tell her some of the things he had heard from his mother. One
+day, he and Jane were walking in the garden, and they stopped by the
+bee-hives to watch the bees go out to gather their stores, and return
+laden with sweets.
+
+Orrin told Jane many curious facts about bees, which instructed her
+very much. He told her that they were always busy, and would not
+allow an idler to live in the hive. Orrin and Jane also attended
+Sunday-school together.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Jane used to walk and play in her father's garden, but she did not
+have one of her own. Her father used to tell her she might look at the
+flowers, but that she must not pick them, as she would injure them. But
+when Orrin came he gave Jane a garden by herself in which her cousin
+worked, and they both kept it in order, and it was a great pleasure
+to her to pick flowers whenever she liked. She used often to gather a
+pretty nosegay for her mother. Orrin used to say when he looked at her
+flowers, why even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of
+these.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Many boys who have been taught by pious mothers to pray to God in
+childhood, when they become older forsake the law of their mother. They
+begin to think it is well enough for children, but not needful for men;
+but this was not the case with Orrin. He remembered what Solomon says
+of a mother's counsel: "When thou goest it shall lead thee; when thou
+sleepest it shall keep thee; and when thou wakest it shall talk to
+thee." Orrin read his Bible daily, and continued to pray to the God of
+his mother, and he kept in mind her instructions and always tried to
+act as he supposed his mother would wish.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+From the time he was old enough to behave properly, Orrin went to
+Sunday-school. He was in a room where only the little scholars
+attended, and they were taught by a very kind lady. She taught them
+from Scripture-cards, and they could say and sing many beautiful little
+hymns. He could also answer all the questions in a simple catechism.
+When he could read well, he went into the larger school, and was put
+into a class with some boys larger than himself. Some of them did not
+behave as well as Orrin did.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Orrin's mother loved to see her little boy play at proper times. She
+did not always require him to be studying, or reading books. When he
+went to play she was careful that his mates should be good boys who did
+not take the name of God in vain, or use coarse and vulgar language,
+or quarrel and fight. She told him always to treat his mates kindly,
+to be just and fair in his sports, and at all times to "do unto others
+as he would wish others to do unto him." She reminded him that "even a
+child is known by his ways," and that "cheating play never prospers."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Wherever there is a library of useful books, a young person can gain
+a store of knowledge. Orrin was very fond of reading, and his uncle
+gave him the liberty of reading in his study, whenever he wished to do
+so. There Orrin spent many hours, gaining useful knowledge; and as he
+had a very good memory, he found, many years after, much use for the
+instruction he received in this way. Solomon says, "Get wisdom, get
+understanding, take fast hold of instruction, let her not go, keep her,
+for she is thy life."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Those who have read the history of this good boy, will like to hear
+something of him as a man. He became not only a respectable, but a
+useful and pious man. He was a kind friend; he warned and reproved
+those he found doing wrong. When a man, he was as fearless in
+reproving sin as he was when a boy. If he saw a young man profaning the
+Sabbath day, he kindly warned him of his evil way and would invite him
+to go with him to the house of God. His example was, also, a silent
+teacher of all.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+You will not be surprised to hear that Orrin became a Sunday-school
+teacher, nor that he knew how to teach in a way to profit his scholars.
+They all loved him very much, and never were absent from school unless
+they were sick. Here he is, just returning from Sunday-school. Two of
+his scholars are with him; they have their library-books in their
+hands. How orderly they walk by his side, talking with him about the
+lesson. It is a great blessing to have such a teacher.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+This picture may remind us of Orrin, for we may think of him as
+walking by the water-side with a friend. Perhaps he is speaking of the
+occupation of Christ's disciples, when he called them to preach the
+gospel. They left their ships and followed him. He is pointing to
+the church amid the trees, and says "I too would preach the gospel."
+No doubt he would make a useful minister of the gospel, for from his
+youth he has known the Scriptures, which are able to make him wise unto
+salvation. He may be thinking of Christ's words, Go ye unto all the
+world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+After much thought upon the subject, and having taken the advice of
+friends, Orrin determined to be a missionary. He went to bid farewell
+to the scenes of his childhood. He visited the cottage where he was
+born. He stood by the sea-side, where he had gathered shells, and
+listened to his mother's instructions; he walked in the fields where
+he had seen the lambs. And as he stood thinking over his days of
+childhood tears fell from his eyes, but they were tears of gratitude to
+God, for having given him a mother who taught him to love the service
+of God.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+He at length goes to make known the way of salvation to those who
+never heard of a Saviour; to poor ignorant pagans, who worship idols,
+the work of their own hands. Many, like him, have gone to tell the
+perishing heathen of Jesus, who is the way, the truth, and the life.
+May all such reap a rich reward, and turn many to righteousness. May
+God incline the heathen to cast away their senseless idols, which have
+eyes that see not, and ears that hear not, and enter upon the service
+of Him who is worthy of all their love.

+<p>Mrs. Pierce gave her little son a place
+for a garden, which the gardener used to
+dig up for him. She gave him different
+seeds of plants and flowers. She
+bought him a shovel, a rake and a hoe,
+of a suitable size for a little boy. Here
+he used to amuse himself for hours.
+He had one tree in his garden which
+would not thrive, though he had bestowed
+much labour upon it, but finally
+he determined to remove it. Indeed
+the branches were many of them dead.
+He told his mother he was reminded
+of the passage in Luke xiii. 6, 9, for he
+had waited long for fruit, but found
+none, and he was going to remove the
+worthless tree.</p>

+<p>On a pleasant afternoon, it was very
+delightful to walk in Mrs. Pierce's
+garden. Orrin's garden spot was as
+neat and in quite as good order as his
+mother's. The roses were so fragrant,
+and the various colours of the
+numerous flowers so pleasing to the
+eye, that all admired who beheld them.
+The butterflies roamed from flower to
+flower undisturbed: the humming-birds
+and bees took their portion of the
+sweets, and pretty singing birds fluttered
+among the branches. Mrs. Pierce
+used often to point to the beautiful lilies,
+and say to Orrin, "Consider the lilies,
+how they grow, and remember the instruction
+they give."</p>

+
+
+<p>You may be sure Orrin was early
+taught to pray; and that he was careful
+never to forget or neglect this duty.
+He did not wait till after he was in bed,
+either, but kneeled down before he became
+sleepy, so that he might pray with
+the understanding. He used to pray for
+a new heart, so that he might love holiness
+and hate sin. He also prayed for
+the forgiveness of his sins. Sometimes
+he prayed when he was in the field or
+on his way to school, when he thought
+he should not be observed. He thanked
+God for all his mercies, but more than
+all for the gift of the Saviour; and
+when quite young, he could repeat many
+very pleasing verses about the love of
+Christ for this sinful world.</p>

+
+
+<p>One day when Orrin was on his way
+to the Sabbath-school, he met a boy going
+across a field with a kite in his hand.
+He did not know the boy, but he knew
+he was about to commit sin, so he asked
+him if he would not leave his kite and
+go to the Sabbath-school. He opened his
+book and showed him where the lesson
+was, and told him that he would be much
+happier in learning to keep God's commandments,
+than all his kite-flying could
+make him. The boy thought so too,
+and was willing to take advice, so he
+hid his kite behind the fence, and went
+with Orrin. We should try to do good
+to all as we have opportunity.</p>

+
+
+
+
+<p>The next day he met the same boy
+flying his kite. He stopped as Orrin
+approached him, and said, "I thought
+yesterday when you asked me to go to
+the Sabbath-school that it was a pity to
+give up flying my kite, because there
+was such a good wind, but to-day the
+wind is just as good, and I have had
+a fine time with my kite." So he lost
+no pleasure, but gained much good.
+Orrin stayed a while and played with
+this boy, and told him he hoped to
+see him again at Sunday-school; and
+so he did, for he continued to attend
+regularly from that time.</p>

+
+<p>Orrin's mother was almost sorry
+when he was too old to be kept at
+home under her instruction. She felt
+afraid that when he began to be more
+from her watchful care he might become
+more like those boys whose company
+she had always directed him to avoid.
+He was very fond of study; and his
+teacher soon noticed him as a boy who
+would be an example to the school.
+He was always in his place when the
+bell rang for nine o'clock, and his lessons
+were well learned. His mother
+was much pleased with the accounts
+she received from his teacher, of his
+good conduct.</p>

+
+<p>When Orrin was about fourteen
+years old, he met with the greatest
+affliction that could have been sent
+upon him. This was the death of his
+excellent mother. She was sick for a
+long time, and had a very good physician,
+but God did not see fit to restore
+her to health, and she was quite
+ready to submit to His will. Her
+only anxiety was for her son, and
+even this care she was able to commit
+to the Lord, who has promised to
+be a father to the fatherless. She
+talked much to Orrin, and told him
+that she had trained him up thus far,
+in the way he should go, and charged
+him not to depart from it.</p>

+
+
+<p>A great number of friends and neighbours
+followed Mrs. Pierce to the
+grave. She was greatly beloved by
+all who knew her, but none could
+mourn for her as her poor afflicted boy
+did. When he saw his mother laid in
+the grave, he felt as if he had not a
+friend on the earth. True, he had
+neither sister nor brother. His father
+died when he was an infant, and now
+his precious mother was taken away.
+But God could supply to him all that
+he had lost, and be to him more than
+all earthly friends, even one who would
+never leave him nor forsake him.</p>

+
+<p>Day after day, Orrin went to the graveyard,
+to visit the tomb of his beloved
+parent. He used to take with him the
+Bible, which they had so often read together,
+and read those passages which
+she delighted in. He was much comforted
+by these words of the Lord Jesus Christ,
+"I am the resurrection and the life. He
+that believeth in me, though he were dead
+yet shall he live, and whosoever liveth
+and believeth in me shall never die.
+The hour is coming in the which all
+that are in their graves shall hear the
+voice of the Son of Man, and shall come
+forth; the followers of Christ to enter
+into heaven, and his enemies to be cast
+into hell."</p>

+
+
+<p>After his mother's death, Orrin went
+to live with a kind uncle, a brother
+of Mrs. Pierce, who lived a great distance
+off, so that Orrin went there in a
+ship. Then God raised up a friend
+for this orphan-boy. His uncle had
+a little daughter much younger than
+Orrin, whose name was Jane. As he
+never had a sister, it was very pleasant
+to have such a little companion as Jane.
+His aunt was very kind and affectionate
+to him, but no one was like his
+mother. Though he was very sad for
+a long time, he tried to overcome such
+feelings, and, by dutiful conduct, to
+show his kind uncle and aunt that he
+was grateful to them.</p>

+
+
+<p>Jane had not received as much instruction
+as Orrin had, and he was
+very happy to tell her some of the
+things he had heard from his mother.
+One day, he and Jane were walking
+in the garden, and they stopped by
+the bee-hives to watch the bees go
+out to gather their stores, and return
+laden with sweets.</p>
+
+<p>Orrin told Jane many curious facts
+about bees, which instructed her very
+much. He told her that they were
+always busy, and would not allow an
+idler to live in the hive. Orrin and Jane
+also attended Sunday-school together.</p>

+
+<p>Jane used to walk and play in her
+father's garden, but she did not have one
+of her own. Her father used to tell
+her she might look at the flowers, but
+that she must not pick them, as she
+would injure them. But when Orrin
+came he gave Jane a garden by herself
+in which her cousin worked, and they
+both kept it in order, and it was a great
+pleasure to her to pick flowers whenever
+she liked. She used often to
+gather a pretty nosegay for her mother.
+Orrin used to say when he looked at
+her flowers, why even Solomon in all his
+glory was not arrayed like one of these.</p>

+
+<p>Many boys who have been taught
+by pious mothers to pray to God
+in childhood, when they become older
+forsake the law of their mother. They
+begin to think it is well enough for
+children, but not needful for men; but
+this was not the case with Orrin. He
+remembered what Solomon says of a
+mother's counsel: "When thou goest
+it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest
+it shall keep thee; and when thou
+wakest it shall talk to thee." Orrin
+read his Bible daily, and continued to
+pray to the God of his mother, and
+he kept in mind her instructions and
+always tried to act as he supposed his
+mother would wish.</p>

+
+
+<p>From the time he was old enough to
+behave properly, Orrin went to Sunday-school.
+He was in a room where only
+the little scholars attended, and they were
+taught by a very kind lady. She taught
+them from Scripture-cards, and they
+could say and sing many beautiful little
+hymns. He could also answer all the
+questions in a simple catechism. When
+he could read well, he went into the
+larger school, and was put into a class
+with some boys larger than himself.
+Some of them did not behave as well
+as Orrin did.</p>

+
+<p>Orrin's mother loved to see her little
+boy play at proper times. She did not
+always require him to be studying, or
+reading books. When he went to
+play she was careful that his mates
+should be good boys who did not take
+the name of God in vain, or use coarse
+and vulgar language, or quarrel and
+fight. She told him always to treat his
+mates kindly, to be just and fair in
+his sports, and at all times to "do unto
+others as he would wish others to do
+unto him." She reminded him that
+"even a child is known by his ways,"
+and that "cheating play never prospers."</p>

+
+<p>Wherever there is a library of useful
+books, a young person can gain a store
+of knowledge. Orrin was very fond
+of reading, and his uncle gave him the
+liberty of reading in his study, whenever
+he wished to do so. There Orrin
+spent many hours, gaining useful knowledge;
+and as he had a very good memory,
+he found, many years after, much
+use for the instruction he received in this
+way. Solomon says, "Get wisdom,
+get understanding, take fast hold of
+instruction, let her not go, keep her,
+for she is thy life."</p>

+<p>Those who have read the history
+of this good boy, will like to hear something
+of him as a man. He became
+not only a respectable, but a useful
+and pious man. He was a kind friend;
+he warned and reproved those he found
+doing wrong. When a man, he was as
+fearless in reproving sin as he was
+when a boy. If he saw a young man
+profaning the Sabbath day, he kindly
+warned him of his evil way and would
+invite him to go with him to the house
+of God. His example was, also, a silent
+teacher of all.</p>

+<p>You will not be surprised to hear
+that Orrin became a Sunday-school
+teacher, nor that he knew how to teach
+in a way to profit his scholars. They
+all loved him very much, and never
+were absent from school unless they
+were sick. Here he is, just returning
+from Sunday-school. Two of his scholars
+are with him; they have their
+library-books in their hands. How
+orderly they walk by his side, talking
+with him about the lesson. It is a great
+blessing to have such a teacher.</p>

+<p>This picture may remind us of Orrin,
+for we may think of him as walking
+by the water-side with a friend. Perhaps
+he is speaking of the occupation
+of Christ's disciples, when he called
+them to preach the gospel. They left
+their ships and followed him. He is
+pointing to the church amid the trees,
+and says "I too would preach the gospel."
+No doubt he would make a useful
+minister of the gospel, for from his
+youth he has known the Scriptures,
+which are able to make him wise unto
+salvation. He may be thinking of
+Christ's words, Go ye unto all the
+world, and preach the gospel to every
+creature.</p>

+
+<p>After much thought upon the subject,
+and having taken the advice of friends,
+Orrin determined to be a missionary.
+He went to bid farewell to the scenes
+of his childhood. He visited the cottage
+where he was born. He stood
+by the sea-side, where he had gathered
+shells, and listened to his mother's instructions;
+he walked in the fields where
+he had seen the lambs. And as he
+stood thinking over his days of childhood
+tears fell from his eyes, but they
+were tears of gratitude to God, for
+having given him a mother who taught
+him to love the service of God.</p>

+
+
+<p>He at length goes to make known
+the way of salvation to those who never
+heard of a Saviour; to poor ignorant
+pagans, who worship idols, the work
+of their own hands. Many, like him,
+have gone to tell the perishing heathen
+of Jesus, who is the way, the truth, and
+the life. May all such reap a rich reward,
+and turn many to righteousness.
+May God incline the heathen to cast
+away their senseless idols, which have
+eyes that see not, and ears that hear
+not, and enter upon the service of Him
+who is worthy of all their love.</p>

+<p>The cottage where Orrin Pierce was
+born stood by the side of a clear bright
+stream not far from the sea-shore. This
+cottage had a thatched roof, and was
+surrounded by a plain fence.</p>
+
+<p>Orrin's mother was very fond of flowers,
+and the little yard in front of the
+cottage was filled with many beautiful
+plants and shrubs; some of them were
+trained up about the upper window and
+around the door. A marten's house
+stood on a post one side of the cottage,
+where three twittering birds built their
+nests in safety.</p>
+
+<p>Everybody that passed Mrs. Pierce's
+house, looked at it with pleasure, and
+some even stopped to admire its neatness
+and comfortable appearance.</p>

+
+
+<p>Mrs. Pierce was an excellent woman;
+she feared God and instructed her little
+son out of the Scriptures. Before he
+was old enough to read, she used to read
+to him about the creation of the world;
+and before he was four years old, he
+could tell a great deal of Scripture history.
+He knew about the temptation
+and fall of man; the story of Noah; the
+deluge; the history of Joseph; the account
+of the Israelites in Egypt; the
+plagues sent upon Pharaoh; the departure
+of the children of Israel out of
+Egypt; their journey through the wilderness,
+and their entrance into the promised
+land. He also could relate the
+story of Daniel; of Israel, and many
+other accounts from the Bible.</p>
+
+<p>Those who do not read the Bible are
+ignorant of some of the most interesting
+and important parts of the world's
+history.</p>

+
+<p>Sometimes Mrs. Pierce would walk
+out with little Orrin, and she always
+used to talk with him, so as to improve
+his mind. She would make him observe
+the works of God, and tell him
+of the wonders of Creation. Orrin was
+very fond of going to the sea-shore,
+and when he had been a good boy his
+mother would go there with him. He
+always took with him a basket to put
+his shells in, for there were many shells
+on the beach. His little dog, Dash,
+always went with him, and when Orrin
+threw a stick into the water, Dash
+would plunge in, and swim after it, and
+bring it to his little master.</p>

+
+
+<p>Often during the summer, when the
+evenings were mild and pleasant, she
+would walk in the fields with Orrin,
+and they would sit down to enjoy the
+beauty of the scene. The calm, full
+moon, shining above them, shed a
+soft light on all around. Sometimes
+a cloud would pass over it and hide
+for a moment its brightness, and
+they would watch for it as the cloud
+moved on, and it would suddenly burst
+upon their sight; on such occasions,
+Orrin used to repeat some passages
+of Scripture to his mother, giving thanks
+to God, who made the moon and stars
+to shine by night.</p>

+
+<p>Orrin loved very much to see the
+different animals, that are for the use
+of man. He liked horses and cows and
+dogs very much, but best of all he
+liked the sheep and lambs. There
+was a field not far from his mother's
+cottage where a flock of sheep were
+often kept. He used to watch the
+shepherd taking care of the sheep, and
+when he noticed how readily they followed
+him, he thought of the words of
+Christ, "My sheep hear my voice, and
+I know them, and they follow me." He
+also remembered that this harmless
+animal was employed as a type of
+Christ, who is called "the Lamb of
+God, who taketh away the sin of the
+world."</p>

+<p>Mrs. Pierce gave her little son a place
+for a garden, which the gardener used to
+dig up for him. She gave him different
+seeds of plants and flowers. She
+bought him a shovel, a rake and a hoe,
+of a suitable size for a little boy. Here
+he used to amuse himself for hours.
+He had one tree in his garden which
+would not thrive, though he had bestowed
+much labour upon it, but finally
+he determined to remove it. Indeed
+the branches were many of them dead.
+He told his mother he was reminded

+<p>On a pleasant afternoon, it was very
+delightful to walk in Mrs. Pierce's
+garden. Orrin's garden spot was as
+neat and in quite as good order as his
+mother's. The roses were so fragrant,
+and the various colours of the
+numerous flowers so pleasing to the
+eye, that all admired who beheld them.
+The butterflies roamed from flower to
+flower undisturbed: the humming-birds
+and bees took their portion of the
+sweets, and pretty singing birds fluttered
+among the branches. Mrs. Pierce
+used often to point to the beautiful lilies,
+and say to Orrin, "Consider the lilies,
+how they grow, and remember the instruction
+they give."</p>

+
+
+<p>You may be sure Orrin was early
+taught to pray; and that he was careful
+never to forget or neglect this duty.
+He did not wait till after he was in bed,
+either, but kneeled down before he became
+sleepy, so that he might pray with
+the understanding. He used to pray for
+a new heart, so that he might love holiness
+and hate sin. He also prayed for
+the forgiveness of his sins. Sometimes
+he prayed when he was in the field or
+on his way to school, when he thought
+he should not be observed. He thanked
+God for all his mercies, but more than
+all for the gift of the Saviour; and
+when quite young, he could repeat many
+very pleasing verses about the love of
+Christ for this sinful world.</p>

+
+
+
+<p>One day when Orrin was on his way
+to the Sabbath-school, he met a boy going
+across a field with a kite in his hand.
+He did not know the boy, but he knew
+he was about to commit sin, so he asked
+him if he would not leave his kite and
+go to the Sabbath-school. He opened his
+book and showed him where the lesson
+was, and told him that he would be much
+happier in learning to keep God's commandments,
+than all his kite-flying could
+make him. The boy thought so too,
+and was willing to take advice, so he
+hid his kite behind the fence, and went
+with Orrin. We should try to do good
+to all as we have opportunity.</p>

+
+
+
+
+<p>The next day he met the same boy
+flying his kite. He stopped as Orrin
+approached him, and said, "I thought
+yesterday when you asked me to go to
+the Sabbath-school that it was a pity to
+give up flying my kite, because there
+was such a good wind, but to-day the
+wind is just as good, and I have had
+a fine time with my kite." So he lost
+no pleasure, but gained much good.
+Orrin stayed a while and played with
+this boy, and told him he hoped to
+see him again at Sunday-school; and
+so he did, for he continued to attend
+regularly from that time.</p>

+
+
+<p>Orrin's mother was almost sorry
+when he was too old to be kept at
+home under her instruction. She felt
+afraid that when he began to be more
+from her watchful care he might become
+more like those boys whose company
+she had always directed him to avoid.
+He was very fond of study; and his
+teacher soon noticed him as a boy who
+would be an example to the school.
+He was always in his place when the
+bell rang for nine o'clock, and his lessons
+were well learned. His mother
+was much pleased with the accounts
+she received from his teacher, of his
+good conduct.</p>

+
+
+<p>When Orrin was about fourteen
+years old, he met with the greatest
+affliction that could have been sent
+upon him. This was the death of his
+excellent mother. She was sick for a
+long time, and had a very good physician,
+but God did not see fit to restore
+her to health, and she was quite
+ready to submit to His will. Her
+only anxiety was for her son, and
+even this care she was able to commit
+to the Lord, who has promised to
+be a father to the fatherless. She
+talked much to Orrin, and told him
+that she had trained him up thus far,
+in the way he should go, and charged
+him not to depart from it.</p>

+
+
+
+<p>A great number of friends and neighbours
+followed Mrs. Pierce to the
+grave. She was greatly beloved by
+all who knew her, but none could
+mourn for her as her poor afflicted boy
+did. When he saw his mother laid in
+the grave, he felt as if he had not a
+friend on the earth. True, he had
+neither sister nor brother. His father
+died when he was an infant, and now
+his precious mother was taken away.
+But God could supply to him all that
+he had lost, and be to him more than
+all earthly friends, even one who would
+never leave him nor forsake him.</p>

+
+<p>Day after day, Orrin went to the graveyard,
+to visit the tomb of his beloved
+parent. He used to take with him the
+Bible, which they had so often read together,
+and read those passages which
+she delighted in. He was much comforted
+by these words of the Lord Jesus Christ,
+"I am the resurrection and the life. He
+that believeth in me, though he were dead
+yet shall he live, and whosoever liveth
+and believeth in me shall never die.
+The hour is coming in the which all
+that are in their graves shall hear the
+voice of the Son of Man, and shall come
+forth; the followers of Christ to enter
+into heaven, and his enemies to be cast
+into hell."</p>

+
+
+<p>After his mother's death, Orrin went
+to live with a kind uncle, a brother
+of Mrs. Pierce, who lived a great distance
+off, so that Orrin went there in a
+ship. Then God raised up a friend
+for this orphan-boy. His uncle had
+a little daughter much younger than
+Orrin, whose name was Jane. As he
+never had a sister, it was very pleasant
+to have such a little companion as Jane.
+His aunt was very kind and affectionate
+to him, but no one was like his
+mother. Though he was very sad for
+a long time, he tried to overcome such
+feelings, and, by dutiful conduct, to
+show his kind uncle and aunt that he
+was grateful to them.</p>

+
+
+
+
+<p>Jane had not received as much instruction
+as Orrin had, and he was
+very happy to tell her some of the
+things he had heard from his mother.
+One day, he and Jane were walking
+in the garden, and they stopped by
+the bee-hives to watch the bees go
+out to gather their stores, and return
+laden with sweets.</p>
+
+<p>Orrin told Jane many curious facts
+about bees, which instructed her very
+much. He told her that they were
+always busy, and would not allow an
+idler to live in the hive. Orrin and Jane
+also attended Sunday-school together.</p>

+
+
+<p>Jane used to walk and play in her
+father's garden, but she did not have one
+of her own. Her father used to tell
+her she might look at the flowers, but
+that she must not pick them, as she
+would injure them. But when Orrin
+came he gave Jane a garden by herself
+in which her cousin worked, and they
+both kept it in order, and it was a great
+pleasure to her to pick flowers whenever
+she liked. She used often to
+gather a pretty nosegay for her mother.
+Orrin used to say when he looked at
+her flowers, why even Solomon in all his
+glory was not arrayed like one of these.</p>

+
+
+<p>Many boys who have been taught
+by pious mothers to pray to God
+in childhood, when they become older
+forsake the law of their mother. They
+begin to think it is well enough for
+children, but not needful for men; but
+this was not the case with Orrin. He
+remembered what Solomon says of a
+mother's counsel: "When thou goest
+it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest
+it shall keep thee; and when thou
+wakest it shall talk to thee." Orrin
+read his Bible daily, and continued to
+pray to the God of his mother, and
+he kept in mind her instructions and
+always tried to act as he supposed his
+mother would wish.</p>

+
+
+
+
+<p>From the time he was old enough to
+behave properly, Orrin went to Sunday-school.
+He was in a room where only
+the little scholars attended, and they were
+taught by a very kind lady. She taught
+them from Scripture-cards, and they
+could say and sing many beautiful little
+hymns. He could also answer all the
+questions in a simple catechism. When
+he could read well, he went into the
+larger school, and was put into a class
+with some boys larger than himself.
+Some of them did not behave as well
+as Orrin did.</p>

+
+
+
+<p>Orrin's mother loved to see her little
+boy play at proper times. She did not
+always require him to be studying, or
+reading books. When he went to
+play she was careful that his mates
+should be good boys who did not take
+the name of God in vain, or use coarse
+and vulgar language, or quarrel and
+fight. She told him always to treat his
+mates kindly, to be just and fair in
+his sports, and at all times to "do unto
+others as he would wish others to do
+unto him." She reminded him that
+"even a child is known by his ways,"
+and that "cheating play never prospers."</p>

+
+
+
+<p>Wherever there is a library of useful
+books, a young person can gain a store
+of knowledge. Orrin was very fond
+of reading, and his uncle gave him the
+liberty of reading in his study, whenever
+he wished to do so. There Orrin
+spent many hours, gaining useful knowledge;
+and as he had a very good memory,
+he found, many years after, much
+use for the instruction he received in this
+way. Solomon says, "Get wisdom,
+get understanding, take fast hold of
+instruction, let her not go, keep her,
+for she is thy life."</p>

+
+
+<p>Those who have read the history
+of this good boy, will like to hear something
+of him as a man. He became
+not only a respectable, but a useful
+and pious man. He was a kind friend;
+he warned and reproved those he found
+doing wrong. When a man, he was as
+fearless in reproving sin as he was
+when a boy. If he saw a young man
+profaning the Sabbath day, he kindly
+warned him of his evil way and would
+invite him to go with him to the house
+of God. His example was, also, a silent
+teacher of all.</p>

+
+<p>You will not be surprised to hear
+that Orrin became a Sunday-school
+teacher, nor that he knew how to teach
+in a way to profit his scholars. They
+all loved him very much, and never
+were absent from school unless they
+were sick. Here he is, just returning
+from Sunday-school. Two of his scholars
+are with him; they have their
+library-books in their hands. How
+orderly they walk by his side, talking
+with him about the lesson. It is a great
+blessing to have such a teacher.</p>

+
+<p>This picture may remind us of Orrin,
+for we may think of him as walking
+by the water-side with a friend. Perhaps
+he is speaking of the occupation
+of Christ's disciples, when he called
+them to preach the gospel. They left
+their ships and followed him. He is
+pointing to the church amid the trees,
+and says "I too would preach the gospel."
+No doubt he would make a useful
+minister of the gospel, for from his
+youth he has known the Scriptures,
+which are able to make him wise unto
+salvation. He may be thinking of
+Christ's words, Go ye unto all the
+world, and preach the gospel to every
+creature.</p>

+
+<p>After much thought upon the subject,
+and having taken the advice of friends,
+Orrin determined to be a missionary.
+He went to bid farewell to the scenes
+of his childhood. He visited the cottage
+where he was born. He stood
+by the sea-side, where he had gathered
+shells, and listened to his mother's instructions;
+he walked in the fields where
+he had seen the lambs. And as he
+stood thinking over his days of childhood
+tears fell from his eyes, but they
+were tears of gratitude to God, for
+having given him a mother who taught
+him to love the service of God.</p>

+
+
+<p>He at length goes to make known
+the way of salvation to those who never
+heard of a Saviour; to poor ignorant
+pagans, who worship idols, the work
+of their own hands. Many, like him,
+have gone to tell the perishing heathen
+of Jesus, who is the way, the truth, and
+the life. May all such reap a rich reward,
+and turn many to righteousness.
+May God incline the heathen to cast
+away their senseless idols, which have
+eyes that see not, and ears that hear
+not, and enter upon the service of Him
+who is worthy of all their love.</p>

+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a

+
+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 are 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 information page at www.gutenberg.org
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal

+
+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 www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+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 checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit:  www.gutenberg.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 forty 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:
+
+     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.

+ORRIN PIERCE.
+
+
+
+
+[Illustration]
+
+The cottage where Orrin Pierce was born stood by the side of a clear
+bright stream not far from the sea-shore. This cottage had a thatched
+roof, and was surrounded by a plain fence.
+
+Orrin's mother was very fond of flowers, and the little yard in front
+of the cottage was filled with many beautiful plants and shrubs; some
+of them were trained up about the upper window and around the door. A
+marten's house stood on a post one side of the cottage, where three
+twittering birds built their nests in safety.
+
+Everybody that passed Mrs. Pierce's house, looked at it with pleasure,
+and some even stopped to admire its neatness and comfortable appearance.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration: Noah.]
+
+Mrs. Pierce was an excellent woman; she feared God and instructed her
+little son out of the Scriptures. Before he was old enough to read,
+she used to read to him about the creation of the world; and before he
+was four years old, he could tell a great deal of Scripture history.
+He knew about the temptation and fall of man; the story of Noah; the
+deluge; the history of Joseph; the account of the Israelites in Egypt;
+the plagues sent upon Pharaoh; the departure of the children of Israel
+out of Egypt; their journey through the wilderness, and their entrance
+into the promised land. He also could relate the story of Daniel; of
+Israel, and many other accounts from the Bible.
+
+Those who do not read the Bible are ignorant of some of the most
+interesting and important parts of the world's history.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Sometimes Mrs. Pierce would walk out with little Orrin, and she always
+used to talk with him, so as to improve his mind. She would make him
+observe the works of God, and tell him of the wonders of Creation.
+Orrin was very fond of going to the sea-shore, and when he had been
+a good boy his mother would go there with him. He always took with
+him a basket to put his shells in, for there were many shells on the
+beach. His little dog, Dash, always went with him, and when Orrin threw
+a stick into the water, Dash would plunge in, and swim after it, and
+bring it to his little master.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Often during the summer, when the evenings were mild and pleasant, she
+would walk in the fields with Orrin, and they would sit down to enjoy
+the beauty of the scene. The calm, full moon, shining above them, shed
+a soft light on all around. Sometimes a cloud would pass over it and
+hide for a moment its brightness, and they would watch for it as the
+cloud moved on, and it would suddenly burst upon their sight; on such
+occasions, Orrin used to repeat some passages of Scripture to his
+mother, giving thanks to God, who made the moon and stars to shine by
+night.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Orrin loved very much to see the different animals, that are for the
+use of man. He liked horses and cows and dogs very much, but best of
+all he liked the sheep and lambs. There was a field not far from his
+mother's cottage where a flock of sheep were often kept. He used to
+watch the shepherd taking care of the sheep, and when he noticed how
+readily they followed him, he thought of the words of Christ, "My sheep
+hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me." He also remembered
+that this harmless animal was employed as a type of Christ, who is
+called "the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Mrs. Pierce gave her little son a place for a garden, which the
+gardener used to dig up for him. She gave him different seeds of plants
+and flowers. She bought him a shovel, a rake and a hoe, of a suitable
+size for a little boy. Here he used to amuse himself for hours. He had
+one tree in his garden which would not thrive, though he had bestowed
+much labour upon it, but finally he determined to remove it. Indeed the
+branches were many of them dead. He told his mother he was reminded of
+the passage in Luke xiii. 6, 9, for he had waited long for fruit, but
+found none, and he was going to remove the worthless tree.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+On a pleasant afternoon, it was very delightful to walk in Mrs.
+Pierce's garden. Orrin's garden spot was as neat and in quite as good
+order as his mother's. The roses were so fragrant, and the various
+colours of the numerous flowers so pleasing to the eye, that all
+admired who beheld them. The butterflies roamed from flower to flower
+undisturbed: the humming-birds and bees took their portion of the
+sweets, and pretty singing birds fluttered among the branches. Mrs.
+Pierce used often to point to the beautiful lilies, and say to Orrin,
+"Consider the lilies, how they grow, and remember the instruction they
+give."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+You may be sure Orrin was early taught to pray; and that he was careful
+never to forget or neglect this duty. He did not wait till after he
+was in bed, either, but kneeled down before he became sleepy, so that
+he might pray with the understanding. He used to pray for a new heart,
+so that he might love holiness and hate sin. He also prayed for the
+forgiveness of his sins. Sometimes he prayed when he was in the field
+or on his way to school, when he thought he should not be observed.
+He thanked God for all his mercies, but more than all for the gift of
+the Saviour; and when quite young, he could repeat many very pleasing
+verses about the love of Christ for this sinful world.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+One day when Orrin was on his way to the Sabbath-school, he met a boy
+going across a field with a kite in his hand. He did not know the boy,
+but he knew he was about to commit sin, so he asked him if he would
+not leave his kite and go to the Sabbath-school. He opened his book
+and showed him where the lesson was, and told him that he would be
+much happier in learning to keep God's commandments, than all his
+kite-flying could make him. The boy thought so too, and was willing to
+take advice, so he hid his kite behind the fence, and went with Orrin.
+We should try to do good to all as we have opportunity.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+The next day he met the same boy flying his kite. He stopped as Orrin
+approached him, and said, "I thought yesterday when you asked me to go
+to the Sabbath-school that it was a pity to give up flying my kite,
+because there was such a good wind, but to-day the wind is just as
+good, and I have had a fine time with my kite." So he lost no pleasure,
+but gained much good. Orrin stayed a while and played with this boy,
+and told him he hoped to see him again at Sunday-school; and so he did,
+for he continued to attend regularly from that time.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Orrin's mother was almost sorry when he was too old to be kept at
+home under her instruction. She felt afraid that when he began to
+be more from her watchful care he might become more like those boys
+whose company she had always directed him to avoid. He was very fond
+of study; and his teacher soon noticed him as a boy who would be an
+example to the school. He was always in his place when the bell rang
+for nine o'clock, and his lessons were well learned. His mother was
+much pleased with the accounts she received from his teacher, of his
+good conduct.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+When Orrin was about fourteen years old, he met with the greatest
+affliction that could have been sent upon him. This was the death of
+his excellent mother. She was sick for a long time, and had a very good
+physician, but God did not see fit to restore her to health, and she
+was quite ready to submit to His will. Her only anxiety was for her
+son, and even this care she was able to commit to the Lord, who has
+promised to be a father to the fatherless. She talked much to Orrin,
+and told him that she had trained him up thus far, in the way he should
+go, and charged him not to depart from it.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+A great number of friends and neighbours followed Mrs. Pierce to the
+grave. She was greatly beloved by all who knew her, but none could
+mourn for her as her poor afflicted boy did. When he saw his mother
+laid in the grave, he felt as if he had not a friend on the earth.
+True, he had neither sister nor brother. His father died when he was
+an infant, and now his precious mother was taken away. But God could
+supply to him all that he had lost, and be to him more than all earthly
+friends, even one who would never leave him nor forsake him.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Day after day, Orrin went to the graveyard, to visit the tomb of his
+beloved parent. He used to take with him the Bible, which they had so
+often read together, and read those passages which she delighted in.
+He was much comforted by these words of the Lord Jesus Christ, "I am
+the resurrection and the life. He that believeth in me, though he were
+dead yet shall he live, and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall
+never die. The hour is coming in the which all that are in their graves
+shall hear the voice of the Son of Man, and shall come forth; the
+followers of Christ to enter into heaven, and his enemies to be cast
+into hell."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+After his mother's death, Orrin went to live with a kind uncle, a
+brother of Mrs. Pierce, who lived a great distance off, so that Orrin
+went there in a ship. Then God raised up a friend for this orphan-boy.
+His uncle had a little daughter much younger than Orrin, whose name was
+Jane. As he never had a sister, it was very pleasant to have such a
+little companion as Jane. His aunt was very kind and affectionate to
+him, but no one was like his mother. Though he was very sad for a long
+time, he tried to overcome such feelings, and, by dutiful conduct, to
+show his kind uncle and aunt that he was grateful to them.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Jane had not received as much instruction as Orrin had, and he was very
+happy to tell her some of the things he had heard from his mother. One
+day, he and Jane were walking in the garden, and they stopped by the
+bee-hives to watch the bees go out to gather their stores, and return
+laden with sweets.
+
+Orrin told Jane many curious facts about bees, which instructed her
+very much. He told her that they were always busy, and would not
+allow an idler to live in the hive. Orrin and Jane also attended
+Sunday-school together.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Jane used to walk and play in her father's garden, but she did not
+have one of her own. Her father used to tell her she might look at the
+flowers, but that she must not pick them, as she would injure them. But
+when Orrin came he gave Jane a garden by herself in which her cousin
+worked, and they both kept it in order, and it was a great pleasure
+to her to pick flowers whenever she liked. She used often to gather a
+pretty nosegay for her mother. Orrin used to say when he looked at her
+flowers, why even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of
+these.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Many boys who have been taught by pious mothers to pray to God in
+childhood, when they become older forsake the law of their mother. They
+begin to think it is well enough for children, but not needful for men;
+but this was not the case with Orrin. He remembered what Solomon says
+of a mother's counsel: "When thou goest it shall lead thee; when thou
+sleepest it shall keep thee; and when thou wakest it shall talk to
+thee." Orrin read his Bible daily, and continued to pray to the God of
+his mother, and he kept in mind her instructions and always tried to
+act as he supposed his mother would wish.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+From the time he was old enough to behave properly, Orrin went to
+Sunday-school. He was in a room where only the little scholars
+attended, and they were taught by a very kind lady. She taught them
+from Scripture-cards, and they could say and sing many beautiful little
+hymns. He could also answer all the questions in a simple catechism.
+When he could read well, he went into the larger school, and was put
+into a class with some boys larger than himself. Some of them did not
+behave as well as Orrin did.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Orrin's mother loved to see her little boy play at proper times. She
+did not always require him to be studying, or reading books. When he
+went to play she was careful that his mates should be good boys who did
+not take the name of God in vain, or use coarse and vulgar language,
+or quarrel and fight. She told him always to treat his mates kindly,
+to be just and fair in his sports, and at all times to "do unto others
+as he would wish others to do unto him." She reminded him that "even a
+child is known by his ways," and that "cheating play never prospers."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Wherever there is a library of useful books, a young person can gain
+a store of knowledge. Orrin was very fond of reading, and his uncle
+gave him the liberty of reading in his study, whenever he wished to do
+so. There Orrin spent many hours, gaining useful knowledge; and as he
+had a very good memory, he found, many years after, much use for the
+instruction he received in this way. Solomon says, "Get wisdom, get
+understanding, take fast hold of instruction, let her not go, keep her,
+for she is thy life."
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Those who have read the history of this good boy, will like to hear
+something of him as a man. He became not only a respectable, but a
+useful and pious man. He was a kind friend; he warned and reproved
+those he found doing wrong. When a man, he was as fearless in
+reproving sin as he was when a boy. If he saw a young man profaning the
+Sabbath day, he kindly warned him of his evil way and would invite him
+to go with him to the house of God. His example was, also, a silent
+teacher of all.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+You will not be surprised to hear that Orrin became a Sunday-school
+teacher, nor that he knew how to teach in a way to profit his scholars.
+They all loved him very much, and never were absent from school unless
+they were sick. Here he is, just returning from Sunday-school. Two of
+his scholars are with him; they have their library-books in their
+hands. How orderly they walk by his side, talking with him about the
+lesson. It is a great blessing to have such a teacher.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+This picture may remind us of Orrin, for we may think of him as
+walking by the water-side with a friend. Perhaps he is speaking of the
+occupation of Christ's disciples, when he called them to preach the
+gospel. They left their ships and followed him. He is pointing to
+the church amid the trees, and says "I too would preach the gospel."
+No doubt he would make a useful minister of the gospel, for from his
+youth he has known the Scriptures, which are able to make him wise unto
+salvation. He may be thinking of Christ's words, Go ye unto all the
+world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+After much thought upon the subject, and having taken the advice of
+friends, Orrin determined to be a missionary. He went to bid farewell
+to the scenes of his childhood. He visited the cottage where he was
+born. He stood by the sea-side, where he had gathered shells, and
+listened to his mother's instructions; he walked in the fields where
+he had seen the lambs. And as he stood thinking over his days of
+childhood tears fell from his eyes, but they were tears of gratitude to
+God, for having given him a mother who taught him to love the service
+of God.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+[Illustration]
+
+He at length goes to make known the way of salvation to those who
+never heard of a Saviour; to poor ignorant pagans, who worship idols,
+the work of their own hands. Many, like him, have gone to tell the
+perishing heathen of Jesus, who is the way, the truth, and the life.
+May all such reap a rich reward, and turn many to righteousness. May
+God incline the heathen to cast away their senseless idols, which have
+eyes that see not, and ears that hear not, and enter upon the service
+of Him who is worthy of all their love.

+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 are 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 information page at www.gutenberg.org

+
+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 www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+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 checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit:  www.gutenberg.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 forty 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:
+
+     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.
