“ A fair little English boy lay sleeping in the shady verandah of his Indian home. The servant who was left with him was unfaithful to her trust, and, while he slept, wandered away in search of pleasure. A treacherous tiger, prowling in search of 3a pig or a lamb for his supper, finding the village very quiet, ventured in among the dwellings. The English gentlemen were all absent, and most of the natives were at work in the rice swamp or the paddy field; while the white ladies, exhausted with heat, were taking their rest, little dreaming how careless were their nurses. ”

“ And they will speak with a silent speech,
Of the little boy that died.
We shall go home to our Father’s house—
To our Father’s house in the skies,
Where the hopes of our souls shall have no blight,
Or love no broken ties. ”

“ There is an enemy more dangerous than any beast of the forest, who seeks to destroy both soul and body—Satan, whom the Scripture calls a “roaring lion.” He has many servants, who watch like the tiger for their prey, ready to spring upon unguarded youth. God has warned us against these spiritual foes, and promised His protection to all that trust in Him. ”
