"Everywhere, everywhere A tale is told to me-- It is told in the sunny
air, It is told on the sparkling sea.
"It is told in the forest brakes, It is told on the purple hills, By the silent
mountain lakes, By the singing and leaping rills.
"In the meadows that stretch away As a sea of golden green, With
hedges of sweet white may And the reedy brooks between.
"Where I wander and run and rest, The tale is told to me, The sweetest
tale and the best Of all the tales that be.
* * * * *
"The tale is the tale of Jesus; It is told in heaven above, On the sea and
the moors and the mountains, In language of all the peoples, The
speech of love.
"The morning star and the dayspring, The sun and the cloud and the
shower, The grass and the rose and the cedar, His glory and love are
telling From hour to hour.
"The birds in the green wood singing, The sea that is wide and deep,
The sheep in the folds of the mountains, The corn in the golden valleys,
And all beside.
"All round me are glorious pictures Of him who has made them fair;
Through the long bright day I can see Him, And I fear not the silent
darkness, For He is there,"
--FRANCES BEVAN.

INTRODUCTORY.
Ten years have passed since this book was first published, and in
issuing a third edition it seems desirable to say a few words as to the

object with which it was written, and to explain why some additions
and alterations have been made.
The earlier chapters remain pretty much as they were, but the latter
have been recast; and the writer's original endeavour to show that the
Story of Creation is not the Story of Evolution, as set forth in many
attractive but misleading books for the young, has been more
constantly kept in view.
It is hoped that by this means the end sought may be better reached,
and that the young readers may be furnished with the truth before they
meet with false teaching on this important point. The mind which has
been carefully grounded in what is true may confidently be expected to
detect and refuse what is erroneous, however fair may be its show; and
if the need for early training on the lines marked out for us in Scripture
was apparent some years ago, how much more imperative is it now,
when the authority of God and of
