THOUGH children in knowledge and years / Religion is needful for you / For young as you are you may die / And answer for all that you do / Tis needful for you who are young / To remember the God whom you love / To serve him and worship him here / And dwell in his presence above // (A note attached indicates this sampler was made by a native mission child.)
