LESSON FOR A CHILD.

No. XX.

(FROM A BRIEF VIEW OF SCRIPTURE HISTORY FOR CHILDREN.).

(Continued from page 153.)

BECAUSE the Israelites did not trust in him, God punished them, and let them wander forty years in the wilderness before he brought them into the land of Canaan. At the end of this time Moses died; and when he was, dead, Joshua led the people in his stead. Joshua was a brave and good man, and put his whole trust in the Lord his God. And, when the people murmured against the Lord, Joshua always checked them, and told them that they need not fear, and that they must not murmur against the Lord, for that, if the Lord delighted in them, he would bring them into the good land which he had promised them; but that they must not rebel against the Lord to make him angry. So the Lord blessed Joshua, and gave him

great power; and Joshua led the people safely into the land of Canaan. They found the land full of wicked people, who worshipped idols. But Joshua told the children of Israel that they must oppose, these idolaters, and fight against them. He bid them to be strong, and of good courage, and to fear not their enemies, for that the Lord their God was with his people, and that he would give them the land. Then Joshua led the Israelites to fight against the idolaters; and the Lord was with his people, and made them stronger than their enemies, so that they overthrew them, and killed them, and took their towns, till at last the children of Israel were settled safely in the land which God had promised to their forefathers.

THE wild cat is a terribly fierce animal. Happily we have not many of them in this country. There are said to be a few in the mountainous parts of Scotland and Ireland, as well as in the woods in the north of England.

The manners of the cat are entirely changed by education; those brought up in our houses being perfectly tame and gentle. A dog is noted for his
