12 SALLY OF THE given to her, and a white apron, and a brown bonnet and tippet, like all the other children: and, because she had no daddy and mammy, the lady was so kind as to give her two new shifts, and a flannel petticoat, together with shoes and stockings, and a blue bed-gown to wear on week days. And when she got a little older the kind lady employed her to do many little jobs for her, by which she earned as many pence as served to keep her in shoes and stockings. Little Sally learned at the Sunday School and at church to be humble, and to fear God, and to love the dear Saviour who died for her upon the cross. She learned also always to speak the truth, and never to tell a lie, because she knew that every liar has his portion in the lake that burns with brimstone and with fire. When Sally was grown a great girl, the lady who feared God took her into her house, and taught her a great many useful things. And the lady, loved her because she was humble and thankful, and loved her Saviour, and never gave rude answers when she was spoken to. Sally, through all her life, used to say, “That was a happy day when I first went to the Sunday School.”
