The mother called the baby's name "Moses," she said, "because I drew him
out of the water," and in that far country that is what the name "Moses"
means.

THE STORY OF DAVID
Long, long ago, on the green hills of Bethlehem, a little shepherd boy
tended his sheep.
Ruddy and strong was little David, for the sun gave him rosy cheeks, and
the bracing wind made him long to run races with his own shadow, just
from pure happiness.
Many a time he lay on the soft grass, gazing up at the blue sky, dotted
with fleecy white clouds--white as his own lambs. Many a time, as he led
his flock homeward at evening, he saw the sun sink in the gold and
crimson west, and, as the dusk deepened, the great round moon rise above
the hills, flooding the world with silvery light.
With all this beauty around him, do you wonder that he was good and
happy?
One day, while David was watching his sheep in the field, Samuel, the
High Priest of the Lord, appeared before Jesse, David's father.
On a very wonderful errand had he come.
