Do you know how many children, Go to little beds at night, And, without a care or trouble, Wake up with the morning light? God in heaven each name can tell; Knows you, too, and knows you well. --_New Education Reader_. Be kind and be gentle, To those who are old, For kindness is dearer And better than gold. --_New Education Reader_. {507} Please is a very little word, And thank-you is not long. Jesus loves me, this I know, For the Bible tells me so. Little ones to Him belong, I am weak, but He is strong. Love God with all your soul and strength, With all your heart and mind, And love your neighbor as yourself, Be faithful, just, and kind. Deal with another as you'd have Another deal with you: What you're unwilling to receive, Be sure you never do. --_New England Primer_. Politeness is to do or say The kindest thing in the kindest way. --_New Education Reader_. Do all the good you can In all the ways you can, For all the people you can Just as long as you can. --_Lippincott's Beginner's Reading Book_. Be to others kind and true, As you'd have others be to you. --_New Education Reader_.
