GIVE US OUR DAILY BREAD"
BY DIR. HAWKs.
| knew a widow, very poor,
Who four small children had:
The eldes. was but six years old
A gentle modest lad.
And very hard this widow toiled
To feed her children four;
An honest pride the woman felt,
Though she was very poor.
To labor she would leave her home,
For children must be fed;
And glad was she when she could buy
shilling's worth of bread.
And this was all the children had
On any day 10 eat;
They drank their water, ate their bread,
But never tasted meat.
One day when snow was falling fast,
AND piercing was the air,
thought that would 60 and see
How these poor children were.
Ere long. lreached their cheerless home
Twas searched by every breeze;
When going in. the eldes, child

Z paused, and listened 10 the boy:
lie never raised his head,
But still wen, on and said--"Give us
This day our daily bread"
waited ill the child was done,
Still listening as he prayed;
And when he rose, asked him why
The Lords prayer he had said.
why. sir said he, this morning, when
NV mother went away,
She wept. she said. because she had
No bread for US to-day.
"She said we children now must starve
Our father being dead;
And then told her not to cry,
i' For could get some bread!
sour Father, sir, the prayer begins.
Which makes me think that he,
As we have got no father here,
Would our kind Father be.
"And then.yo know the prayer, sir too,
Asks God for bread each day;
So, in the corner, sir, went,
And that's what made me pray"
Iquickly LET, that wretched room,
And wen, with fles,ing feet;
And very soon was back again.
With food enough to eat.
