She took her porringer, and sat down on a green bank -near the cottage door to eat the bread and milk she had that morning, and -liked it very much, as she did not always have milk for breakfast. While -Susan was eating her breakfast, she thought about a very pretty book, -which had been given her the week before as a reward for her regular -attendance at the Sunday School, during the last half year; for it had -pleased God that she should enjoy good health, and Susan knew too well -the value of what she learned at the Sunday school, ever to be absent -when she could attend. I never heard of her playing about on a Sunday -with rude idle children, she knew that would be breaking the Sabbath, -and she desired to keep it holy. Which children do you think are the -happiest, those who play about, and get into mischief on a Sunday, or -those good children who attend public worship and endeavour to keep holy -the Sabbath day? - -While Susan was eating her breakfast, she thought about her reward book, -as I told you—it was “Little Jane, the YOUNG COTTAGER,” and she wished -that she might love the Saviour and be happy like “Little Jane.” - -When she had nearly finished her porringer, a man came by driving some -sheep, which he was going to sell at the next town. Several of the sheep -had little lambs with them, and some of these poor little creatures were -so tired that they could hardly walk. One little lamb laid down just as -it came to the place where Susan was sitting. The man tried to make it -get up, but it could not rise, and seemed to be dying. “Well,” said he, -“I’ll have your skin at any rate.” So saying, he was about to tie its -legs together, and take it upon his shoulder, when Susan spoke to him, -and begged very hard that he would leave the little lamb with her, and -she would nurse it. “Why, as for that,” said the man, “I suppose I might -as well give it you at once, for I don’t reckon you can make much hand of -it; and I think I’ll e’en give it to you, for now I recollect, you are -the little girl who ran after me over the common last summer, and told -me of the boys who had driven two of my best sheep down yonder lane; I -should not have found them again in a hurry, if it had not been for you. -Well, if you like to have the lamb, take it and much good may it do you.” - -He then called his dog, and drove his sheep on. Susan thanked him; she -put down her porringer, and took up the lamb, and began to think what she -should do with it: its eyes were shut, and it seemed dying. “Well,” said -she, “it is no great matter to you, for I suppose they would have killed -you to-morrow or next day, but I should have liked you to have lived and -played with me. I would have tried to be kind to you, for the Bible says, -we are to be merciful to poor dumb creatures like you. God made you, as -well as me, and I recollect it is written, ‘that his tender mercies are -over all his works.’” - -While she was talking in this manner, the lamb opened its eyes a little -way, and gave a faint bleat. Susan was delighted. “Poor little thing, -perhaps you are hungry,” said she, and taking her spoon, she put a -little of the milk into its mouth, and to her great joy saw that it was -swallowed. Susan then gave the lamb some more, and wrapped it up closer -in her apron. It soon revived with the warmth, and presently was able -to stand, it then went to the porringer and drank the rest of Susan’s -breakfast; you may be sure she did not grudge it. - -Susan now went to her mother, and told all that had happened, and showed -her the little lamb. Her mother said she might put it upon the grass-plot -behind the cottage. The little girl did so, and before night it was quite -well again. - -Susan had to go every day to work, but you may be sure she did not -neglect her little lamb; every morning when she had her own breakfast, -she went and fed it very carefully;—and the lamb was always ready to come -as soon as it heard her little mistress call. - -Do not you think Susan felt very happy when she looked at the little -lamb? She had been kind to it, and felt much more pleased than if she -had not taken any care about it. I have known little boys, and girls -too, who have taken pleasure in teazing poor animals, but I have always -remarked that they were bad children. Those who can take pleasure in -killing flies, or hurting dumb creatures, would delight in tormenting -their brothers and sisters, or companions, if they dared to do so; and -when they grow up to be men and women, unless their evil habits are -broken off, they will prove to be wicked people. Our hearts are naturally -inclined to do what is evil, and will always take pleasure therein, if -they are not changed by divine grace. This is what Jesus told Nicodemus, -as you may read in the third chapter of Saint John. Little Susan had been -taught this. She felt that it was true, and prayed to God to give her -a new heart. She prayed that she might love Christ and believe in him. -Christ has said that those who ask shall receive; and in the book of -Proverbs, which speaks of him as the True Wisdom, we read that those who -seek him early shall find him. - -Now, if Susan had not thought about these things, and been led to desire -to do what was right, perhaps she would have helped the naughty boys in -driving away the sheep, instead of telling them, as she had done, that it -was wrong, and following after their owner when she found they would not -do what was right. When we see others do wrong, we should always try to -persuade them to leave their evil ways; but if they will not listen to -us, then we should do all we can to prevent them from succeeding. - -The lamb soon grew very fond of Susan, and followed her about every -where. If she was absent from home longer than usual, it would lie down -before the cottage door, and watch for her, and as soon as she returned, -it would frisk about and look quite happy. It was just the same with -Susan’s companions, they were always glad to see her, because she was -gentle and kind to them. - -When I have seen little boys and girls cross, and teazing each other, I -have sometimes wondered why they could like to make others uncomfortable, -for I have always observed that they did not look happy themselves. But -when I recollected that the Bible tells us, that the heart of man is -naturally inclined to do evil, I have not wondered any longer at what I -have seen. I then thought how very sad it was, that children did not love -the Saviour, for then they would have tried to be like him, and would -have been much happier. I have longed to tell them about Christ, and how -pleasant it is to know him, and to love him. Sometimes when little boys -and girls have read “Janeway’s Token for Children,” and other little -books which told them about children who have loved Christ, they have -desired to be like them. Susan was like these good children; and if a -poor man came to ask charity, she was always glad if her mother could -spare any thing for him. - -Remember, that the Saviour came down from heaven to seek and to save that -which is lost; he died upon the cross that we might be cleansed from -our sins by his precious blood, and he suffered for us, that we might be -sanctified or made holy by the power and influence of his holy Spirit, -and thus be made the children of God, and heirs of his kingdom. My dear -children, do you love the Saviour? Do you wish to be like him, kind, -merciful, patient, and “of great goodness?” Your little hearts will tell -you whether you really desire this, and if you are still strangers to -him, pray that he will by the power of his holy Spirit, teach you to know -him and to love him. If you refuse to listen to these things, and do not -seek the Saviour, you will be unhappy in this world, and miserable in -that which is to come. - -I have a little more to tell you about Susan and her Lamb. Susan’s mother -spun its wool every year, and if you had gone to the cottage on a winter -evening, you would have seen her busy with her spinning-wheel, while -Susan and her brothers were employed in other works, and one of them read -aloud the Bible, or some useful book. After the wool was spun, Susan knit -stockings for herself and her brothers, which they found very warm and -comfortable in the winter. In the course of a few years, the lamb grew up -and had several other little lambs, so that in time Susan had a flock of -sheep, which were a great help to the family. She was very glad that she -had gone to the Sunday school, and had been taught the texts, which made -her wish to be kind to the little lamb. I hope my little readers will -try to remember all that they read in their Bibles, remembering that the -Bible tells us the commands of God, and in keeping his precepts there is -great reward. - - -THE END - - - - -THE AMERICAN SUNDAY SCHOOL UNION - -HAVE PUBLISHED - -A Large Assortment of - -_SUNDAY SCHOOL BOOKS_, - -AND ALSO, - -REWARD BOOKS, - -With numerous Engravings, for Children; - -WHICH ARE SOLD AT THE DEPOSITORY, - -148 Chesnut Street, - -_Philadelphia_, - -AT REDUCED PRICES. - - - - - -End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Little Susan and her lamb, by Anonymous - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK LITTLE SUSAN AND HER LAMB *** - -***** This file should be named 62391-0.txt or 62391-0.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/6/2/3/9/62391/ - -Produced by Charlene Taylor and the Online Distributed -Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (This file was -produced from images generously made available by The -Internet Archive) - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United -States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.
