LESSON I. THE SUN.

1. The sun gives

light and heat to

all things. He is

too bright to look

at. He is seen to

rise in the east, and to set in the west.

2. When the sun is in the sky, it is day; when he is gone down in the west, it is night. God made the sun to give light.

3. If we look at the sun through a glass, we can see spots on its face or disc. These spots move over the sun's disc.

4. The birds, the beasts, and the fish of the sea, all love the light and warmth of the sun. If there were no sun, all things would be dark and cold; and birds, and beasts, and fish, and shrubs, and plants, and trees, would die.

5. A little boy once said, "I should like to see God;" and so his father took him to the sun's rays and bade him look at the sun.

6. But the sun was too bright for him to look on; and his father said, "If you cannot look at the sun, how shall you look upon the great God who made the sun?".
