DRIVEN FROM THE TEMPLE doves drove market driven One day, our Blessed Lord went into the temple to pray. The temple, you know, was the church. It was the house of God. It was the place of prayer. As Jesus was going into the temple, He saw, inside the door, a number of men buying and selling cows, sheep, and doves. They talked and shouted as if they were out on the street. They forgot that they were in God's house. When our Blessed Lord saw how they were acting, He was very angry. So He made a whip, and drove them out of the temple. He told them that they must not make a market-place of the house of God. Always think of this, boys and girls, whenever you go into a church. A little Boy of heavenly birth But far from home to-day, Comes down to find His ball, the earth, O comrades, let us one and all Join in to get Him back His ball. REV. JOHN B. TABB CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS Christopher Columbus clothes India Catholic Italy Portugal It was a very cold evening in the month of February. Mr. Long and his happy family were seated around the fire. Baby Long had climbed upon her father's knee. The oldest boy was wishing that his father would tell them a story. Just then one of the girls said: “Will you please tell us a story, papa?" "Why, children, I think I have told you every story I know. Did I ever tell you about the great man who found America?" |
