LESSON, I.


You have seen the sun in the sky.
Who put the sun in the sky?

God.
Can you reach up so high? No.

God lives in heaven; heaven is much higher than the sun.
Can you see God?
No.
Yet he can see you, for God sees every thing.
God made every thing at first, and God takes care of every thing.

God made you and takes care of you always.—Peep of Day,’ pp. 1. & 2.

你睇見天上個熱頭。
係乜誰擠佢喺個處嘅呢。

係上帝咯。
你噲舉個隻手到熱頭咁高唔呢,唔噲呀。

上帝喺天堂處住,天堂高過熱頭多。
你睇得見上帝唔呢。
唔睇得見。
上帝睇見你𡃓,因上帝樣樣都見嘅。
上帝始初造化各樣物件,到而家都保佑佢。

上帝造化你亦時常保佑你。

But how does your mother get money to buy the clothes, and the food? Father gives it her.
How does your father get money?

乜誰俾飯你食,俾衫你着呢,係老母咯。
你老母點樣有錢買過你食,買過你着呢,係父親揾翻嚟嘅。
你父親點樣搵翻嚟呢。
