Now Satans cruel heart was grieved Their happiness to see,And so he tempted them to eat Of the forbidden a wise serpent he appeared, And told a wicked lie ;—He said that they might eat thereof, And yet they should not die. Eve first lookd at the pleasant fruit, And then she touched and took :Oh how much misery has come From that one foolish look!Then Adam$ too, did take and eat: Although full well he knewThat God had said Thou shalt not eat, He thought the Devil true. But when they heard the voice of God, Whom they had disobeyed,They hid themselves among the trees Because they were afraid;And then God said that they should die For that which they had done;But, promised them a better life Through Jesus Christ His Son. M. M. 95. BE DOVE-LIKE. Be ye harmless as Be ye kind one to another, tender hearted. I must kind and gentle be,If I would my Father please, For I know He loves to see Children bearing fruits like these. 96 BE DOVE-LIKE. Nothing selfish or unkind Can before my Father come; I must have His childrens mind,If I seek His childrens home. No more angry thoughts or rudeAre allowed to enter there; We shall seek each others good,And each others pleasure share When these evil thoughts I feel— As alas ! I often do—Lord, thy tender love reveal; Surely Thou wilt conquer so! F. P
