Then he began to play a low, sweet melody!
It sounded like the summer breeze sighing softly over a grassy meadow,
and setting the dainty daisies and buttercups swaying on their stems.
Suddenly the music swelled stronger, until it seemed like a flashing
fountain, springing up in a burst of sparkling spray.
Then the sweet tones slowly softened.
Fainter they grew--and yet fainter--like the music of a dream--till at
last they died away into silence.
Spellbound sat King Saul when the player ceased.
And David came to Saul and stood before him, and Saul loved him greatly,
and he became his armor bearer.
Long afterward David wore the crown of Israel.
He was a wise and good king, for the Heavenly Father, who blessed his
youth, watched over him all his days.
THE STORY OF JOSEPH
Many years ago there lived a little lad named Joseph. He was comely, and
his face was beautiful, because his heart was pure and good.
Joseph had many brothers, but because of his gentleness and comeliness
the old father loved him more than all the others.
