PREFACE. The object of the "Good Child's Library," is to encourage a taste for Scripture reading, by presenting some of the most interesting portions of the New Testament narrative, in the attractive form of verse. While the children read these verses, they will not only become acquainted with the principal events in the lives of our Blessed Saviour and His Apostles--their travels, their sufferings and their death,--but they will see that the Bible is a readable book, and a book that may be read every day, without any fear of becoming the unhappy being that some persons suppose; and besides this, the tone which is given to the affections, the minds, and the morals of children by such reading, is of almost infinite value. In order to combine things pleasing and things useful, to the greatest possible extent, the publishers have gotten up at a great expense, especially for this work, some of the most beautiful Scripture designs that have ever been published. These pictures are printed in Oil Colours--an expensive, but a finished and highly artistical process, of which the publishers are the originators in this country. Each history is illustrated handsomely with them. There is in all twelve books; each book being complete in itself, and containing a full history. The "Good Child's Library" is composed of the following books: Scenes in the Life of the Saviour. Scenes in the Life of St. Peter. Scenes in the Life of St. John. Scenes in the Life of St. Paul. Scenes in the Lives of St. Matthew, St. Jude, and St. Simon. Scenes in the Lives of St. Stephen, Timothy, St. Mark, and St. Luke. Scenes in the Lives of St. Philip, St. Bartholomew, and St. Thomas. Scenes in the Lives of St. Andrew, St. James, and St. James the Less. The Sermon on the Mount. The Parables of the Saviour. The Miracles of the Saviour. Texts for Children. The Publishers have in preparation another series, embracing Scenes in the Lives of the Patriarchs, Prophets, and Kings, illustrative of the Old Testament Scriptures, to be gotten up in the same style as the present series.

OF good men it is right to speak, Those good men who did move, The hearts of men in early times, With works and words of love. And though these good men suffer'd loss Of every earthly good, To preach the Gospel of the Lord, Who bought us with His blood; And though their history is mark'd With suffering and with tears, And though each day and hour they met Much trial and great fears,-- Yet they examples are to us, Who now on earth do live, For all must suffer loss and shame, Who in the Lord believe. When Christ ascended up on high, He left His love behind, To cheer His servants here on earth, And bless the heavenly mind. And though we suffer here on earth, And toil through all our days; Yet after death, in Heaven we'll spend Eternity in praise. Then let us evermore be bold And true in a good cause, And never turn from what is right, To gain the world's applause. The brave and good who lived of old, The truth with courage told, And every danger calmly met, So fearless, free and bold. Of Stephen good, this book will tell, Of whom you all have heard; Who was the first, who did become A martyr for the Lord. St. Stephen was the first who fell By persecution's wrath, He was the first who did give up To violence his breath. The first to die a martyr's death To lay his body down; While up to Heaven his spirit flew, To seize a martyr's crown. He was a mighty man indeed, And full of love divine, And when he did the truth proclaim, His countenance did shine. He was a man of learning too, And did great wisdom show, He spake the word of God with power Wherever he did go. He wrought beside, great miracles, To prove his doctrine true, And did confront with flaming zeal, The Gentile and the Jew. The Apostles him did set apart, To labour for the Lord, And well he did fulfil his trust, Both by his deed and word. He was a man of prayer and faith, And full of holy fire, To know and teach the love of God, Did his warm heart aspire. II. HE IS PERSECUTED. BUT soon the cruel enemies, With wicked hate conspired, To take away the good man's life, With Satan's malice fired. With anger they confronted him, With them he did dispute, And though they were in numbers strong, He did their words confute. He stood with boldness up before His unrelenting foes, And with the strongest truth of God He did their speech oppose. And though they threaten'd him with death And clamor'd all around, With wisdom, love and patience too, Did he their words confound. And when they found that they could not Against him aught prevail, With words they stirr'd the people up, And falsely did assail, With charges great of blasphemy Against the Law, and God, And hired men to witness to Their false and wicked word. They brought him up before the priests, And treated him with scorn, But all saw that his countenance With Angel-glory shone. III. HIS DEFENCE. And then the high-priest said to him: "Tell us--are these things so?" Then Stephen rose, and from his lips, The words of truth did flow. His mind was clear, his heart was free, He fear'd nor death nor shame, But to the list'ning multitude With boldness did proclaim, The Gospel of the Son of God, The Saviour's dying love, Who to redeem the sons of men, Came down from Heaven above. He gave them all the history Of Moses and the Law, Of what the Kings and Prophets heard, And what their fathers saw. He told them of the wickedness Of the rebellious Jews, Of how they did the Prophets treat, And did the Lord refuse. He told them how the Lord was kind To them in all their ways, And how He did their hardness bear For many, many days. With plainness he did then recount How they the Prophets kill'd, And show'd themselves in all their acts Stiffnecked and self-will'd. And then he held up Jesus Christ, The object of their scorn, And told them plainly they had kill'd The Just and Holy One. That they the murderers were of Him Who came to save our race, Who every where show'd forth to men, Such loveliness and grace. When they heard these things, they gnash'd Upon him, in their hate, For well they knew within their hearts, He did the truth relate. But though their looks were very fierce, And threaten'd him with harm, His soul was fill'd with heavenly peace, And free from all alarm. He steadfastly to Heaven did look, And saw his Saviour, Lord, And saw His form in glory stand At the right hand of God, And said: "The heavens are open wide, The Son of Man doth stand, With glory bright arrayed, and near, The Majesty's right hand." IV. HE SUFFERS MARTYRDOM. AS STEPHEN spake, his countenance Was fill'd with sacred light, And all around him where he stood Did flame with glory bright. But now they could no longer bear, To hear his faithful word, They stopp'd their ears, and cried aloud, And all with one accord, Ran on the good and holy man, And cast him to the ground; And hateful cries, and murd'rous stones Soon fill'd the air around. Amid a shower of murderous stones, He did resign his breath; He boldly braved, and calmly met, A Christian martyr's death. And O! what kindness fill'd his soul, And did his heart enlarge, He dying pray'd:--"O! Lord, lay not This sin unto their charge." He thus obey'd the Saviour's word: "Pray for your enemies;" And though they do you persecute, Ne'er let your anger rise. Thus Stephen was the first to die, By cruel violence; For his attachment, Christ doth give An ample recompense. For all whose blood is shed for Him, He honours high in Heaven, And unto them, Eternal Life, And crowns of joy are given. And there no sorrow and no pain, No death can ever come; The saints are there forever blest In their eternal home. As I have told--St. Stephen was The very first to die, By violence for Jesus' sake, Since Christ ascended high. He was the first to testify-- E'en in the midst of shame, Unto his wicked enemies, The Saviour's blessed name. He was the first to whom the gates Of Heaven were open'd wide, Receiving one who died for truth, Since Christ was crucified. And what a glorious sight he saw, When he was near to die; He saw, what others could not see, His blessed Lord on high. The blessed Saviour always dwells According to His word, With those who love and serve Him here; And to them will afford The strength they need to bear them through; He'll give them sweet repose; And shelter them, e'en when they are Assail'd by murderous foes. For Jesus to His followers said: "Ye shall my glory share, And for you far in Heaven above, Blest mansions I'll prepare. "Now faithful prove until the end, Bear every cross and shame; And to the nations of the earth My dying love proclaim. "And I will always be with you, And when you come to die, I'll cheer your hearts with heavenly hope, And bring you up on high." SCENES IN THE LIFE OF TIMOTHY. [Illustration: Youth of Timothy.] SCENES IN THE LIFE OF TIMOTHY. I. HIS CHARACTER. I'M sure the children all would like Of Timothy to hear; He was a preacher of the cross, And labour'd far and near. When young, his mother did him train To love and fear the Lord, And he was well instructed in The Saviour's blessed word. He is a great example held Of early piety, Of noble mind, and lovely heart, And great humility. Young Timothy the Bible loved, And did its truths obey; He loved of good things much to think, And also loved to pray. He grew up to be very wise, Instructed in the truth, And loved its precepts to obey, E'en in his earliest youth. II. HE ACCOMPANIES PAUL. TO Systra the Apostle came, The great Apostle Paul; He heard them talk of Timothy, And right away did call For him, that he the youth might take, To go with him abroad, To help him, as he publish'd far, The blessed Saviour's word. The Apostle call'd him his dear son, And did a father prove; He cherish'd him where'er he went, With tenderness and love. He travell'd here and there with Paul, And labour'd for the Lord; And did the Apostle much assist, In doctrine and in word. How pleasant 'tis to see the young Their hearts to Jesus give; The Saviour loves the little ones, And will their hearts receive. And when they grow to manhood's years, They can to others prove, That 'tis the source of happiness, The Saviour's name to love. So Timothy, when he was young, Was taught in things Divine. He loved them much, and he could say, "Dear Saviour, I am thine." And when he grew to be a man, He boldly went to tell How Jesus came from Heaven above With sinful men to dwell. He did not only give his _love_ To Christ, but _served_ him too, And labour'd to spread forth His name, As God would have you do. For he could best show forth his love For Christ, by doing good, By calling sinners to believe The Lord, who shed His blood. And though he might soon lose his life, By telling Jesus' name, Yet he went forth without a fear, And boldly did proclaim, In many lands the Saviour's love, His love to dying men, That love which follow'd us in sin, To bring us back again. O what a noble heart was here, For one that was so young; But if we're young and weak, then Christ Can make us bold and strong. III. HIS DEATH. WHEN Paul went prisoner to Rome, He wrote to Timothy-- A letter full of tenderness, And great simplicity. And Timothy went up to see The Apostle Paul at Rome, And many say, he witness'd there The Apostle's martyrdom. And after that to Ephesus, The youthful hero came, And unto all the people did The Saviour's name proclaim. And he was Bishop of the Church, And govern'd it with love; Though he was young, yet he received All wisdom from above. Idolatry was raging round, And every evil way, And Timothy was grieved to see, They did not Christ obey. And he rebuked their wickedness, With words of burning zeal; And they, so full of sin and hate, Made him their anger feel. They rush'd upon him with their clubs, Impell'd by Satan's will, And in their wrathful violence, Young Timothy did kill. He gave himself a victim to The truths he did proclaim, And died by violence, because, He told of Jesus' name. But he is happy now in Heaven, No more to fear or die, But with his Saviour and his God, He reigns above the sky. SCENES IN THE LIFE OF SAINT MARK. [Illustration: St. Mark.] SCENES IN THE LIFE OF SAINT MARK. ST. MARK was an Evangelist, And heard the Saviour's word, And did, with all his mother's house, Obey and love the Lord. When first the Apostles went to preach, St. Mark to Egypt went, And there he taught the multitudes-- By Peter he was sent. He preach'd the truth with great success, And many did receive The truth he spake, and in the name Of Jesus did believe. He went with Paul and Barnabas, In company to tell The multitudes of Jesus Christ, Who once on earth did dwell. He wrote a history of the Lord, Which you can always read, And boldly tells that Christ, who died, Was great in word and deed. And forth he went from place to place, To tell to all abroad, The wond'rous grace of Him he served His dying, risen Lord. To brave the dangers of the world, And Satan's wrath defy, Not knowing but he'd soon be call'd A martyr's death to die, But He who sits upon the Throne, And rules the worlds above, Did give His servants patience here That they might ever prove, Their faithfulness to Him in all, That they might say or do; And e'en in death, might show to all, His Gospel ever true, Now after Mark had travell'd far, To preach in distant lands, And many people did instruct In Christ--the Lord's commands, He came to Alexandria, And there he did unfold, Unto the church the words of Christ, With speech so free and bold. But Satan, who goes up and down, To exercise his power, Over the hearts of wicked men, And seeking to devour, Did soon his servants, mad with hate, Impel to deadly strife, And falling on St. Mark, with force They did assail his life. Once at a feast, they seized him hard, And bound with cords his feet, And then with cruel hate and scorn They dragg'd him through the street. And after they had dragg'd about His body, they at last To prison took his mangled form, And in a dungeon cast. 'Tis said that Christ appear'd to him In vision, and did bless His weary soul with grace divine, And Heavenly tenderness. But early, when the morning came They dragg'd him forth again, And fill'd his soul and body too, With grief and cruel pain. And thus they bruised and mangled him, With wickedness inspired, Till death came on to his relief, And he at last expired. And after death they still pursued His lifeless form with scorn, And full of deep malignity, They did his body burn. O! who would think such wickedness Did in the world exist; That after all the Saviour's done, Men will in sin persist? The Saviour sends His servants forth, That all the world may hear The news of His salvation, and Obey with love and fear. But they with malice fill'd and hate, Like unrelenting foes, Resisted all the words of truth, And did their way oppose. But many souls received the word And felt their sins forgiven, And they were reconciled to God-- Their Father--God, in Heaven. And those who suffer'd here for Christ, And bore the world's cold frown, Shall be forever with the Lord, And on His Throne sit down. And all the great Apostles shall Be ever happy there, And blest through all eternity The Saviour's glory share. And all good children here on earth, When they are call'd to die, Shall soar away on eagle's wings To worlds beyond the sky. Then follow Christ with all your heart, Whatever may betide, Though wicked men should persecute, And all the world deride. Remember that the Saviour's power, And strong redeeming grace Will save you from your enemies, And fill your hearts with praise. Remember too, that all the peace That this world can afford, Is nothing when compared unto The peace of Christ the Lord. Some little children I have seen, Who did not wish to live, Because they had such peace in Christ, Who did their sins forgive. They wish'd at once to soar away To their eternal home, Where sickness, sorrow, pain and death, Can never, never come. For all the good men in the world Who feel their sins forgiven, Are glad when Jesus calls them home, To happiness and Heaven. And when you are in Heaven above, How happy you will be, To dwell with the Apostles great, To all eternity. You'll see them with their pure white robes, With countenances bright, While all around their heavenly forms, You'll see a glorious light. The Saviour from His glorious Throne Will spread His love Divine, Around on all His Saints redeem'd, And they shall ever shine. So, children, live on earth with care, And follow Christ's command, And when you leave this world of sin, You'll dwell at His right hand. SCENES IN THE LIFE OF SAINT LUKE. [Illustration: St. Luke.] SCENES IN THE LIFE OF SAINT LUKE. ST. LUKE was a Physician good, And early did receive The Gospel of the Son of God, And did in Christ believe. He was one of the early few, Who rallied round the cross, And for the sake of Him they loved Did suffer shame and loss. He was a learned, useful man To all the church abroad; He labour'd with the Apostles much, And did their acts record. He wrote also the history Of his ascended Lord, This history the Church has kept, And we can read his word. The Apostle Paul calls him--"Beloved," And speaks of him so kind, It seems he show'd, where'er he went, A meek and lowly mind. He labour'd much to tell of Christ, He labour'd far and near, Though many dangers press'd around, He did no danger fear. He travell'd with the Apostle Paul, The Saviour to proclaim, And to the listening multitudes Gave tidings of His Name. He travell'd into Egypt far, And also into Greece; And many heard and did receive, His words of love and peace. How he did love the souls of men, And try to do them good, By telling them of Jesus Christ, Who bought them with His blood! He gave himself a sacrifice Unto the cause of God, And counted it a great delight, To tell the Saviour's word. In Greece he saw idolatry, Which did his spirit grieve, They loved their sin, and they would not The word of God receive. But though the world would not receive, Nor honor these good men, And though men did them persecute, And cause them grief and pain, Yet they the Saviour's promise had That if they'd suffer here, Then after death, in Heaven they should His highest glory share. And Luke was call'd to suffer death, For Christ, the Saviour's Name, And yet his soul no murmur knew, At grief, or wo, or shame. He counted all things loss for Christ, And look'd for heavenly rest, Beyond this life and all its toils, Upon His Saviour's breast. And though he died by violence And hatred, yet you'll find, That he did show to all around, The Saviour's lovely mind. His enemies with rage did take By violence his breath, They seized and hung him to a tree, And thus he came to death. And now in Heaven above he wears, A glittering, martyr's crown; And with the Saviour, ever dwells, Before the Eternal Throne. St. Luke did in a book record The words and deeds of those Whom Christ commissioned forth to tell His triumph o'er his foes. It is an entertaining book, And full of truth indeed, It tells of many wond'rous things, As you may plainly read. But there is one thing it relates, About the Holy Ghost Descending on the Apostles, on The Day of Pentecost. When Christ to His Disciples said-- That He would leave them soon, Their hearts were fill'd with grief, and they Began to weep and mourn. But Jesus said: "I will not leave, Your hearts thus comfortless, I'll send the Holy Spirit down, Who will your spirits bless." And when He rose, He to them said-- "Go forth to preach and tell, The wonders of the Saviour's love, Of your Immanuel. "But tarry in Jerusalem, Engaged in prayer and praise, Until the Holy Ghost shall come, And tell you all my grace." And on the Day of Pentecost The Holy Ghost came down, In form like unto tongues of fire, And glory shone around. They all were there with one accord, Assembled in one place, When Jesus sent the Comforter, With power and love and grace. Their hearts were fill'd with love divine, And burn'd with flaming zeal, Their minds were fill'd with light, and they The power of God did feel. And those who stood around them saw This wonder so divine, But knowing not its nature--said-- "These men are fill'd with wine." But Peter rose with boldness there, And did aloud proclaim, That Jesus whom they crucified, And treated with such shame, Was God's beloved Son, who came Down from the Throne above, To show to us His matchless grace, And save us by His love. He told them to repent at once, And on the Lord believe, And be converted from their sins, And Jesus Christ receive. He spake with power and truth and love, And many hundreds came, And there confessing all their sin, Received the Saviour's Name. This blessed spirit ever lives, With men who fear the Lord; And cheers the hearts of Jesus' friends, According to His word. It dwells with Christians while they live, 'Tis with them when they die, And through the gloom of death it points, To brighter worlds on high. O! make this spirit now your guide, Through all life's dangerous road, 'Twill point your soul to happiness, And bear you up to God. THE END. Transcriber's Note Page numbers have been left out.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg Project Gutenberg is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life. Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate. While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate. Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg electronic works Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org. This website includes information about Project Gutenberg, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
