What a lot of little folks are here gathered together, and what a merry time they seem to be having! Some on the table, some under it, some on the floor, one dabbling in the bucket of water, and all full of life and fun. Boys, girls, cat, crow—all seem bent on having a good time. See that sturdy little fellow on the. table drawing a strange picture on the wall, while a number of the others look on with interest and amusement. But what do you suppose Mamma will think when she gets home, to see the wall thus spoiled, and things generally turned topsy-turvy? Would the little folks have been so uproarious and done naughty things like this, if her eye had been watching them? I think not.
Do not forget that God’s eye is always on you, and you can hide nothing from Him. If you are tempted to do what is wrong, stop and think. Ask yourself the question, Would this be pleasing to Jesus? All the pictures we draw on the wall, all the naughty things we say, all the wrong things we do, will have to come out in review before Him.
O! be careful, dear children, what you do, and what you say. Remember, all will come out again. May you who love Jesus, learn to act always, as in His presence! Think of this word, “Thou God seest me”.
