In this lesson go over the phonograms: oo and ui (you might have done these phonograms before, but as it is said, "repetition is the mother of knowledge") Talk about what the Bible says about the poor for this lesson and what we can do to help the poor. Also make sure to talk about the beggars today in our society and to be careful who they give money to.

Jane, there is a poor old man at the door. He asks for something to eat. We will give him some bread and cheese. He is cold. Will you give him some clothes too? I will give him a suit of old clothes which will be new to him. Poor man! I wish he had a warm house, and kind friends to live with him. He would not have to beg from door to door. We should be kind to the poor. We may be as poor as this old man, and need as much as he. Shall I give him some money to buy a pair of shoes? No, you may give him a pair of shoes. It is hard for the poor to have to beg from house to house. Poor boys and girls sometimes have to sleep out of doors all night. When it snows they are very cold, and when when it rains, they get quite wet. Who is that gives us food to eat, and clothes to make us warm? It is God, my child; He makes the sun to shine, and sends the rain upon the earth, that we may have food. God makes the little lambs bring forth wool, that we may have clothes to keep us warm.
