you ever see a person who was dead8     
,perhaps you have seen one of your own  
brothers or sisters lying on a          
death-bed4 ,what a change takes place   
when we die6 ,no more breath comes out  
of the mouth1 no colour is seen on the  
cheeks2 the eye can look at us no       
longer1 nor the tongue speak to us2 the 
body soon grows cold and stiff2 it has  
no more feeling than the ground on which
 we tread4 ,and why8 ,because the soul  
is gone out of the body4 ,while the soul
 or spirit is in us we are alive1 but   
when it is gone out then we are dead4   

,the soul can never die1 but the body is
 only made of dust1 and it soon crumbles
 away and becomes dust again4  ,no one  
can make a dead person alive again4 ,yet
 once there was a man in this world who 
made dead people alive4 ,who was that   
man8 ,he was called ,jesus2 he was not  
only a man1 he was ,god too2 he was the 
,son of ,god4 ,most people would not    
believe that he was the ,son of ,god1   
though he said he was4 ,yet we are sure 
he said true1 for if he had been a      
wicked man he could not have made dead  
people alive again4 ,god his ,father was
 with him1 and this was the reason he   
did such wonderful things4  ,one day a  
rich man came to ,jesus1 and fell down  
at his feet1 and begged him to come to  
his house4 ,he said1 ,my little daughter
 is dying4 ,he was very unhappy1 he     
loved his little girl very much1 and she
 was his only child4 ,his name was      
,jairus1 but ,i do not know the name of 
his little girl4 ,i do know her age1 she
 was twelve years old4 ,the father      

thought that if ,jesus only put his     
hands upon her he could make her well4  
,the ,son of ,god was very kind to      
people in trouble4 ,he went with the    
father1 and a great crowd followed him4 
,as he went along the road1 he was      
pressed on every side by those who      
wanted to see him and to hear what he   
said4  ,before he reached the sick man's
 house1 some people came and said to the
 father1 ,your daughter is dead4 ,they  
told him it was now of no use for ,jesus
 to come4 ,they little knew what he     
could do2 but ,jesus said to the father1
 ,do not be afraid1 she shall be made   
well4  ,when he came to the house1 he   
only allowed three of his friends to    
come in with him4 ,their names were     
,peter1 ,james1 and ,john4 ,there was a 
great noise and bustle in the house2    
there were men playing music1 and people
 weeping and crying out with loud voices
 because the girl was dead4 ,when ,jesus
 came into the room where she was lying1
 he said to these people1 ,why do you   

make this noise8 ,the girl is not dead1 
she only sleeps4 ,then they began to    
laugh at him1 for they knew the child   
was dead4 ,why did ,jesus say she slept8
 ,because she was soon to be made alive4
 ,her death was like sleep4  ,jesus     
would not let the people who mocked1    
stay in the room1 but he let the girl's 
father and mother be there1 and his own 
three friends4 ,there were just these   
five in the room with him when he went  
to the bed and took hold of the girl's  
hand and said1 ,girl1 ,i say unto thee1 
arise4 ,immediately her spirit 7or her  
soul7 came again into her body4 ,then   
she was alive4 ,she was now quite well2 
she was not weak now1 as she had been2  
she got up out of her bed and walked    
about4 ,then ,jesus desired that        
something might be given her to eat4    
,her parents were very much surprised4  
,they had been afraid that ,jesus would 
not be able to make her alive4 ,they did
 not know he could do everything4 ,he   
made all our bodies and gave us souls1  

and one day he will call all the dead   
people out of their graves4  ,i wonder  
whether that young girl loved ,jesus4   
,she was old enough to understand what  
he said4 ,at twelve years old children  
can understand almost as well as men and
 women can2 they learn more quickly1 and
 remember better4 ,though they love play
 still1 they have a great deal of sense4
 ,some children at twelve years old     
begin to take great pains with their    
learning2 then they get on very fast4   
,some begin to be very useful2 they can 
do more now than take care of the baby  
or run upon errands1 and often they get 
places as servants4 ,if they are steady1
 and tell no lies1 they are trusted and 
get on well in the world4  ,some        
children at twelve years old begin to   
think about their souls and to say1     
,what would become of me if ,i were to  
die8 ,they go and hear sermons1 and they
 can understand them4 ,they look in the 
,bible1 and they can understand a great 
deal which they read4 ,then some begin  

to pray and to say1 ,merciful ,god1 give
 me thy ,holy ,spirit1 for the sake of  
,jesus ,christ4  ,but there are some who
 at twelve years old will mind their    
parents no longer4 ,they say1 ,we are   
not little babies now1 we will do as we 
please4 ,they forget all the kindness   
their parents have shown them for twelve
 years1 and they forget the words that  
,god has spoken1 ,honour thy father and 
thy mother4  ,you can read the history  
of the daughter of ,jairus in your      
,bible in ,mark v4 verses #bc1 #bd1 and 
#ce to end2 ,luke viii4 #da1 #db1 and

,why do you weep8       ,i am falling   
asleep1     ,and ,jesus my ,shepherd1   
,is watching his sheep2     ,his arm is 
beneath me1       ,his eye is above2    
,his ,spirit within me       ,says1     
,rest in my love3     ,with blood ,i    
have bought thee1       ,and wash'd thee
 from sin2     ,with care ,i have       
brought thee       ,my fold to be in2   
,refresh'd by still waters1       ,in
