We must love god Good people love him more than they love any thing, or any
person in the world. They never rise in the morning, or lie down at night, without thinking of him, and of the good he has done them. Often in the day, they think of him : and they love to talk and hear, and read about him.
We must pray to God ; for he is very good, and worthy to be loved ; and desire him to forgive us when we do wrong, to put good thoughts into our minds, and to help us to be better ; and that he will bless us, and our parents and all our kind friends, and give us every good thing that is proper
for us.
We must do to all persons what God re- quires us to do. It is his will that we should not be unkind, even to people who are un- kind to us ; and that we should do to all persons as we wish they would do to us.
