In this lesson study the Vocabulary; especially scarcely, hardly, and barely. make the children look these words up in the dictionary and find the difference in their meaning. Talk about nutrition and the importance of eating healthy. Also, talk about how our Lord Jesus Christ healed the lame and the sick.



The Lame man.

See that poor man. he is lame and has no hat on his head. John, will you give him your old hat? Yes, you will. You will be glad to help him. We must feel for the lame, and do all we can to help them. John, you are a kind boy, and I love you. Poor old man! He is sad-he is in want. Ah, see how pale he is! He is sick. Come in poor man, come in. We will give you a bit of cake to eat, and some milk. John will give you a hat. Look now at that sick boy. He is not sick for want of food. he had a cake sent to him and he was told not to eat to much of it, yet he did. The cake has made him sick. See how his face is pale and sad. If he had not done that, he would not be ill. Now he is so sick he can scarcely go out this fine day. he can not run, nor jump, nor play. I hope you will not act like this boy. Mind what is said. Do not eat more than is said. Do not eat more than is good for you, so that you will not look pale like him or feel sick as he does.
