LESSON THIRTY-SEVEN. [Illustration] These little bunnies are having a fine time. They know good food when they find it. Do you know what kind of food bunnies like best? Look at their eyes. Are they like kitty's eyes? LESSON THIRTY-EIGHT. [Illustration] I think this must be the home of our bunnies. Does it look like the country homes you have seen? Look at the road and the trees. Are the trees alike? Do you think it would have been nice if God had made all trees alike? LESSON THIRTY-NINE. =Wheat and Tares.= Do you know what is made from wheat? If you do not, ask some one to tell you. When Jesus was on earth, He talked about wheat. At the same time He talked about some bad plants, called tares. [Illustration: WHEAT.] He said that a man sowed some good seed in a field. Then some one came and sowed tares in the same field. The good seed was wheat. So the wheat and tares were growing in the same field. The servant wanted to root up the tares. The man said, "No; let them grow together until the harvest." Why did Jesus tell this story? See what He says about it:-- "The field is the world. The good seed are the children of the kingdom. But the tares are the children of the wicked one. The harvest is the end of the world. The reapers are the angels." The harvest is very near. That is when Jesus comes in the clouds of heaven. [Illustration: TARES.] The reapers will take the children of the kingdom home to heaven. The children of the wicked one will be destroyed. Are we wheat or tares? LESSON FORTY. [Illustration] Here is a shepherd with his flock. I think he must be a kind shepherd. See how tenderly he carries the little lamb. Jesus is our Shepherd. Isaiah says of Him, "He shall gather the lambs with His arms." So He will tenderly care for all His lambs now. Soon He will come to take them to the home He is preparing. LESSON FORTY-ONE. [Illustration] Will they reach the shore? I wonder what they think? Once Jesus was with His disciples on the lake. There came a great storm. Jesus was asleep. The disciples worked like these men are working. At last they called to Jesus. When He awoke He spoke to the wind, and there was a calm. LESSON FORTY-TWO. =Washing Dishes.= [Illustration] "Good morning, Mary! How can you sing while washing dishes? I always feel cross, for I do not like to wash dishes." "Well," said Mary, "I must tell you my secret. I used to feel cross, too. Now I think about the lesson I am to learn while washing dishes. Jesus said that we should make the inside of the cup clean as well as the outside." "Oh, yes, mama tells me to wash the dishes clean, but I get so tired of them." "But, Nellie, you do not see the lesson we are to learn. You know we try to look very pretty when people see us. We want them to think that we are pure and clean. When I am washing dishes, I think how Jesus makes my heart pure and clean. He says, Though your sins be red, I will make them white as snow."
