THE SNOW 
AND THE BIRD. 
SEE the glistening robe of snow, 
Deeply covering all the ground ; 
Chilling winds blow high and low, 
Here and there, and all around. 
Yet snowy carpets close and deep, 
Many needed blessings bring,— 
The autumn seeds they snugly keep 
Warm and safe till opening spring. 
See that lonely little bird, 
Barn or storehouse it has not; 
Let its cry not go unheard, 
Let its needs be ne'er forgot. 
Strive, dear reader, to make glad 
Every weak and helpless thing— 
Every sufferer, poor or sad— 
For the sake of Christ our King.

DELLA'S 
ORNAMENTS. 
^TifRS. MASON was sitting with her two lit-
tle girls in the cozy sitting room of 
<yp) their pleasant home. 
* 
"Mamma," said Susie, "will 
you 
please buy me a new hat like Lottie Oakley's? 
Did you notice yesterday at grandpa's how 
beautiful it looked? 
And her sash was such 
a lovely blue; do get us sashes like it, mamma. 
We were the only ones who wore no sashes, 
except Delia Morton; but then she is not a 
lady." 
"I thought Delia Morton the best-dressed 
little girl among you," said Mrs. Mason 
quietly. 
" Delia Morton ! why, mamma, how queer! 
She didn't have on a single pretty thing; she 
wore nothing but a calico dress and a plain 
hat with scarcely any trimming. 
Haven't 
you made a mistake, mamma?" 
" I think not," said Mrs. Mason. 
" I saw her 
wear some very beautiful ornaments. 
I wish 
my own little girls could wear the same kind." 
Susie and her sister May looked astonished, 
for they had rather looked down on Delia be-
cause she was poorly dressed. 
She could not 
afford such beautiful things as they. 
She had 
been left out of the games at the party the 
day before, and some had even laughed be-
cause she was so poorly dressed. 
" Do tell us what you mean, mamma," 
said Susie. 
"I didn't see any ornaments." 
" Well," said Mrs. Mason, " I saw at least six. 
Let me tell you what they were. 
When you 
were gathering wild flowers, Delia found quite a 
nest of them. 
Some little girls would have 
gathered them all as fast as they could, but 
she told the others, and even helped the little 
ones to pick them; then I knew she had one 
valuable ornament—unselfishness. 
When lit-
tle Daisy Kent tore her new dress, no one 
stopped to help her except Delia, who stayed 
to pin up the dress; that showed me she had 
another jewel—loving-kindness. 
When Bennie 
Bolton pushed her and spilled berberries, she 
did not get angry, and as she stooped to pick 
up the fruit, I saw two other ornaments— 
patience and. forbearance. She was not boister-
ous. 
She had the beautiful jewel—gentleness. 
Then she had another ornament more precious 
than the others, I thought. When she was left 
out of the games, and some laughed because 
she did not wear a fine sash and a hat trimmed 
with feathers and flowers, instead of being 
sullen about it, she was pleasant and gentle. 
She had the ornament of a 'meek and quiet 
spiritwhich 
is in the sight of God of great 
price. 
" Don't you think, my children, that Delia 
was well dressed? 
There is a text I would 
like to have you think of, and perhaps it will 
help you to think less about your outward ^p-i 
pearance and more about the ornaments of 
the mind. 
The text is this, 'Man looketh on 
the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh 
on the heart.'"

MEXICAN 
FARMHOUSE. 
BY ELDER L. C. CHADWICK. 
§
KNOW that many of the readers of 
OUR 
LITTLE 
FRIEND live on nice farms, and 
that you have nice bouses and barns, and 
probably do not stop to think that in other 
countries things are very different from what 
you have at home. 
In Mexico there are many fine farms, and 
the soil is rich, so that almost any kind of 
grain or vegetable can be raised. 
There is 
such a nice climate that farmers can raise sev-
eral crops of grain or vegetables on the same 
piece of ground the same year. 
But their 
farmhouses are far different from those in 
the United States and some other countries. 
In the picture you see a photograph that I 
took of one of the better classes of farm-

houses. 
They do not have barns here, and 
their cattle and horses all run out-of-doors the 
.whole year. 
The sides of this house are made 
of boards, and the roof is thatched. 
The 
building at the right is a shed for storing 
grain and tools. 
You see the wagon is an American one, 
but their farming tools are very rude and 
old-fashioned. 
The plows are of wood, and 
have only one handle. 
Oxen are yoked with 
a straight stick laid across their necks and 
tied to their horns with ropes, so that they 
pull with their heads and horns instead of 
with their necks and shoulders, as you see 
them yoked in the States. 
While you might not feel satisfied with 
such a home as this one, yet the people in 
these country homes seem to be as contented 
as can be. 
It is the only way they know of 
to live, and is so much better than the way 
some of the poorer people have to live in the 
cities, that they may well feel happy. 
But as the religion of our Saviour is ex-
tended among them, we find many changes 
for the better in their condition. 
This teaches 
us that what we have of true refinement and 
pleasant surroundings comes to us because of 
the gospel of Christ. 
How thankful we should 
be for it! 
SUNDAY SCHOOL AT 
SINGAPORE. 
BY MRS. FLORENCE J. MORRISON. 
f
INGAPORE is a town in the most south-
ern part of Asia. 
The majority of the 
(k children in the school to which I refer 
1 
are Chinese, and have Christian parents. 
But there are some whose fathers and moth-
ers are heathen, and they are taught at home 
to worship idols, and know nothing about the 
true God. 
One boy is named Khia Tai. 
(One day 
when the missionary was visiting his home, 
his sisters were burning incense, and offering 
meats to their idol. 
The missionary asked 
him why they did so, as the idol was made of 
stone and could neither see nor hear. 
He re-
plied :— 
uOh, I don't believe in it, but our ancestors 
worshiped this god; if* we take down this al-
tar, our friends will jiersecute us." Khia Tai's 
mother and sisters would listen to the gospel 
story told by the missionaries, though the 
father strongly opposed. 
Their teacher, a lady, says these heathen 
children enjoy singing in Malay, "Jesus Loves 
Me," " There Is a Happy Land," and many 
other songs; also that they are very attentive 
during the lessons, and repeat their Scripture 
texts correctly. 
I wonder if some of the read-
ers of OUR 
LITTLE 
FRIEND cannot take these 
children as an example in these things. 
Perhaps it would be interesting to hear the 
story of a little boy named Gun Chiu. 
His 
parents were both heathen, and much given 
to opium smoking. 
When the child was 
three years old, an old Christian grandaunt, 
Kim Kwan, took him to live with her. 
She 
used to speak to him about God, and tried to 
teach him to love the Saviour, and when he 
was four years old, one day he said, " I want 
to be a Klitiaii [Christian]." 
A few months afterward be was missed 
from Sunday school, and going to his home, 
his teacher found him very ill with fever. 
For an entire month his kind teacher visited 
him daily, and did what she could to relieve 
him of pain. 
One morning the sun was shin-
ing brightly against the white wall, when he 
asked his aunt, " Is heaven as bright as that?" 
She replied, "Yes, brighter." 
" Then," he 
said, " I want to go there; I want to be with 
Jesus." 
After many weary months of suffering Gim 
Chiu recovered from his sickness, became a 
Christian, and labored with the missionaries 
to lead those in darkness into the light of the 
God that made the heavens and the earth.

Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, we would 
come to Palestine, or the Holy Land as it is 
sometimes called. 
What is the principal city 
of Palestine?" 
"Jerusalem," was the reply of both children. 
"And south of Jerusalem about five or six 
miles is the little town of Bethlehem. 
The 
name means house of bread. Bethlehem was 
built on a hill. 
The country is now much 
more barren than it was many years ago; but 
at that time the surrounding hillsides were 
covered with vineyards, while in the valleys 
CHILDREN OF 
BETHLEHEM. 
IflNCLE GILES had just returned from a 
^SR trip around the world, and the children 
never tired of hearing stories of his 
travels. 
One evening they were study-
ing their Sabbath-school lesson about David. 
" Where was David born, and where did he 
live When a boy?" asked Uncle Giles. 
"In Bethlehem," replied Lewis. 
"In what direction is Bethlehem?" 
"East from us," said Alice. 
"Yes, if we should sail across the Atlantic 
289 
were fields of grain and pasture land for sheep 
and cattle. 
" While I was in Palestine, I saw a scene 
something like this picture. Here is a country-
place near Bethlehem. 
It seems to have been 
harvest time, for you see some maidens com-
ing with sheaves of grain on their heads—and 
this brings to mind the fact that Ruth, the 
great grandmother of King David, gleaned in 
some of the fields near the town. 
The lamb 
is perhaps one of a flock cared for by the boy 
shepherd. 
How eagerly it eats the grass the 
little girl has gathered for it! 
You see this 
boy is not dressed as boys in this country are 
dressed, and he is trying to make music from 
an instrument something like a flute." 
"David played on a harp," said Alice. 
"Yes," replied Uncle Giles, "no doubt he 
had plenty of time for practice while watch-
ing his father's sheep, and his fresh young 
voice, accompanied by his harp, made sweet 
music. 
When King Saul needed a musician, 
his servant told him that David was a cunning 
player. • 
"It was at Bethlehem, David was anointed 
king, and it was afterward called the City of 
David. 
Near the gate was a well. 
When 
David had become a man of war, and was 
weary and faint in battle, he longed for a drink 
of its cool water. 
"At some future time we will have a talk 
about other events connected with Bethlehem 
which were of greater importance and inter-
est than those we have been speaking of."

GOOD 
MEASURE. 
=QME people are content with doing just 
what they have to do to get through the 
days easily, while others work in a gen-
erous way, always giving full measure. 
"What do you want to do that for, Tom?" 
said Ned Lee to his brother. 
" Mother didn't 
say anything about clearing up the cellar. 
She just said we should cl;op and pile the 
wood." 
"Yes, I know," replied Tom. " But wemight 
just as well tidy the place up while we're 
down here. 
Besides, clearing up the cellar 
will make the wood pile look better, you know, 
and we have piled it nicely." 
" Oh, well, have your own way. 
You're al-
ways wanting to do just a little more. 
I sup-
pose, maybe, that's why you get on so much 
better than the rest of us boys;" and Ned 
went to work and helped Tom to clear up the 
cellar. 
Tom Lee was rarely satisfied with just do-
ing a thing well. 
He always tried to do his 
best, whether it was learning a lesson, or do-
ing a job of work, or playing a game; hence 
his success. 
The Bible says: " Give, and it shall be given 
unto you; good measure, pressed down, and 
shaken together, and running over, shall men 
give into your bosom. 
For with the same 
measure that ye mete withal it shall be meas-
ured to you again."

§OU will be interested in the article in 
this paper about a " Sunday School at

The writer, Mrs. Morrison, 
was a teacher in the United States. 
She went

SELF-IN1Z1TED. 
BY MRS. M. J. BAHLER. 
I WAS heated and weary, when in at my door 
A little one walked—I had seen her before; 
She was sunshine itself, this sweet little May, 
But I thought, " I'm so weary, I can't have her stay." 
But of the table she took quiet survey, 
As she looked like a queen (without queenly array). 
Then she clasped her fair hands, to one side threw 
her head, 
And then, in the sweetest of tones, gently said: 
" Is you makin' the dinner? 
I dess I will stay 
And eat dinner with you. 
My ma '11 say I may." 
Then, humming a happy, self-satisfied air, 
She waited till " Drace" should fix hera chair. 
And I waited too, till the big book was placed 
To make a high chair; then our table was graced 
By a dear little face so full of delight 
That, though I was weary, it rested me quite. 
And as she sat there, so sweetly content, 
My heart its unwelcome did fully relent; 
I was glad she invited herself, precious one, 
And I said, "Come again"; and she said, "I will 
come." 
But changes have come, and long miles intervene 
'Twixt me and my prattler, my fair little queen; 
She can't come alone; oh, would that she might! 
And once more to my table her own self invite.

All around are chances to do good to others. 
It may cost some self-denial at times, but even 
if we do deny self to make others happy, we 
will find that even in the sacrifice a joy comes 
to our own souls. 
Would we live to scatter sunshine on the 
pathway of those around us? 
You can do so 
by carefully watching for opportunities to do 
good. 
By following this course, you may al-
ways be in the enjoyment of happiness. 
As 
our hearts are filled with love to God and to 
our fellow-creatures, we can also rejoice in the 
hope of eternal life with our Saviour, where 
all will be joy forever. 
SUNSHINE. 
BY H. ROGERS. 
J^HILDREN, do you ever stop to think of 
the beautiful sunshine, that beams so 
pleasantly and so freely all around ? 
How much warmth and cheer it brings! 
Children who are always trying to make 
others happy are like the bright sunshine. 
By little deeds of kindness, and words of love, 
they scatter the shadows from many a sad 
heart. 
A HELPING HAND. 
jHAT made you so long in coming, Sam ? 
I thought you must have forgotten that 
you were keeping me waiting," said 
T 
Gilbert Mason, as he and Sam Rhodes 
started out together for an afternoon's pleas-
ure. 
"Oh, I stopped a minute to fix Robbie's 
kite for him. 
The little fellow couldn't man-
age it by himself, and he looked so woeful sit-
ting there looking at it I couldn't pass him 
by," said Sam. 
" That's just like you," said Gilbert fretfully. 
"You're so slow. 
It was only yesterday that 
you kept the boys waiting while you chased 
Granny .Oldham's pig for her. 
I never put 
myself out like that for other people. 
They 
don't thank you for it." 
" Maybe they don't in words," said Sam 
brightly, " but I'm sure Robbie's happy face 
was enough for me. 
He was a different look-
ing boy when I left him." 
And a helping hand stretched forth in sym-
pathy will bring happiness to many a face.—

DAYID THE SHEPHERD 
BOY. 
(1 Sam. 16.) 
Memory Verse.—" The Lord is my Shepherd ; I shall not 
want." Ps. 23:1. 
WHEN Samuel was an old man, the people asked 
him to let them have a king. 
A young man named 
Saul was chosen king, but he did not obey God, and 
the Lord told Samuel he would take the kingdom 
from Saul and give it to his neighbor. 
Then the Lord sent Samuel to the house of Jesse, 
a man who lived in Bethlehem, and told him to 
anoint one of his sons as king. 
Jesse had seven of 
his sons pass before the prophet, but the Lord told 
Samuel they were not the ones he wanted. 
They 
were 
fine-looking 
young men, and Samuel thought 
surely the Lord would choose one of them ; but the 
Lord said that men looked at the outward appearance 
while he looked at the heart. 
Then Samuel asked 
Jesse if those were all the children he had, and he 
said he had one more, the youngest, and he was tak-
ing care of the sheep. 
The prophet told them to" 
Send for him, and someone went to call him. 
He 
soon stood before Samuel, and the Lord told him to 
anoint him, for this was the one he had 
chosen. 
He was a beautiful, healthy boy, and his name was 
David. 
When David was caring for his father's sheep, he 
played on the harp, and sang songs of praise to God. 
He was also very bold and strong, for one day when 
a lion 
came 
and 
took 
a lamb out of his 
flock, 
David went after him, struck him, and took the lamb 
out of his mouth. 
Then the lion tried to kill David, 
but he caught him by his beard and slew him. 
An-
other time a bear took a lamb, and David killed the 
bear also. 
After Samuel anointed David, Saul had an evil spirit 
which sometimes caused li.m to feel very bad. 
His 
servants advised him to send for one who could play 
well on a harp, that the sound of sweet music might 
make him feel better. 
One of the servants told him 
that David could play well, so Saul sent men to Jesse, 
asking him to send David his son, who was with the 
sheep. 
Then he came to play for-the king. 
His 
music made the king well again, and he was much 
pleased with him. 
Saul then sent to Jesse, asking 
that David might stand before him as his servant. 
In one of the songs or psalms which David used to 
sing, he speaks of the Lord's care for his people. 
The psalm begins with the memory verse of this les-
son: "The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. 
He maketli me to lie down in green pastures ; he 
leadeth me beside the still waters." 
Just as David 
led his sheep to the best pasture, and where they 
could get good water, so Jesus will kindly lead all 
little children who love him. 
The Saviour says, 
"I am the Good Shepherd, and I know my sheep." 
He loves the lambs, too, for in the Bible he says he 
will carry them in his bosom.

DA1ZTD THE SHEPHERD 
BOY. 
(1 Sam. 16.) 
Memory "Versei—"The Lord is my Shepherd ; I shall not 
want." Ps. 23:1. 
THE name of the first king of Israel was Saul, but 
he became so wicked that the Lord rejected 
him. 
If Saul had remained faithful, his son would have 
been king after him, and the kingdom would have 
continued in his family. 
Samuel, of whom we have 
been learning in the last two lessons, had 
become 
an old man, but was still a prophet, and the Lord 
continued to talk with him. 
And the Lord told Samuel to fill a horn with oil, 
and go to the house of Jesse at Bethlehem, and 
anoint one of his sons to be king. 
"And 
Samuel 
said, How can I go? if Saul hear it, he will kill me. 
And the Lord said, Take a heifer with thee, and say, 
I am come to sacrifice to the Lord. 
And call Jesse 
to the sacrifice, and I will show thee what thou shalt 
do; and thou shalt anoint unto me him whom I 
name unto thee." 
When Samuel had called Jesse and his sons to-
gether, he thought that Eliab, the eldest son, was the 
one to anoint; he was not only the eldest, but he was 
a tall, handsome young man. 
"But the Lord said 
unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the 
height of his stature; because I have refused him; 
for the Lord seeth not as man seetli; for man looketh 
on the out ward appearance, but the Lord looketh on 
the heart." 
Then Jesse called Abinidab, but the Lord had not 
chosen him. 
So one after another was called and 
rejected, until seven of Jesse's sons passed before the 
prophet. 
"And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all 
thy children ? 
And he said, There remainetli yet the 
youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. 
And 
Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him ; for we 
will not sit dowm till he come hither. 
And he sent, 
and brought him in. 
Now he was ruddy, and withal 
of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. 
And the Lord said, Arise, anoint him ; for this is lie. 
Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him 
in the midst of his brethren; and the Spirit of the 
Lord came upon David from that day forward. 
So 
Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah. 
"But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, 
and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled 
him." 
Saul's servants advised him to get someone who could 
play well on a harp, to make music for him when the 
evil spirit troubled him. 
Then Saul told them to 
find him such an one, and one of the servants told 
him that David, the son of Jesse of Bethlehem, was 
"cunning in playing." So " Saul sent messengers unto 
Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is 
with the sheep. 
And Jesse took an ass laden with 
bread, and a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them 
by David his son unto Saul. 
And David came to 
Saul, and stood before him; 
and he loved 
him 
greatly ; and he became his armor-bearer." 
And when the evil 
spirit would 
trouble Saul, 
" David took an harp, and played with his hand ; so 
Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit 
departed from him." 
QUESTIONS. 
1. Who was the first king of Israel? 
2. What kind of man was Saul ?
