Venite, exultemus Domino (also A Song of Triumph), A Christian liturgical canticle composed of parts of Psalms 95 and 96. Origin: Latin venite, come, imperative second person plural. So called from its opening word in the Latin version. Venite, exultemus Domino. O COME, let us sing unto the LORD; let us heartily rejoice in the strength of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; and show ourselves glad in him with psalms. For the LORD is a great God; and a great King above all gods. In his hand are all the corners of the earth; and the strength of the hills is his also. The sea is his, and he made it; and his hands prepared the dry land. O come, let us worship and fall down, and kneel before the LORD our Maker. For he is the Lord our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness; let the whole earth stand in awe of him. For he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth; and with righteousness to judge the world, and the peoples with his truth. Lesson II: Bubbles. Read the lesson. Lesson II. Bubbles. 1. The boys have come out on the porch to blow bubbles. The old cat is asleep on the mat by the door. 2. "Ha! ha!" laughs Robert, as a bubble comes down softly on the old cat's back, and does not burst. 3. Willie tries to make his bubble do the same. This time it comes down on the cat's face, and makes her sneeze. 4. "She would rather wash her face without soap," says Harry. "Now let us see who can make the biggest bubble." 5. "Mine is the biggest," says Robert. "See how high it floats in the air! I can see—ah! it has burst." 6. "I can see the house and the trees and the sky in mine," says Willie; "and such beautiful colors." 7. "How many, Willie?" 8. "Red, one; blue, two; there—they are all out. Let us try again." 9.

Discuss good and evil; write down good things in God's eyes on the ark and evil things in God's eyes in the water. THE GREAT FLOOD. IN the course of time, when there came to be more folks in the world, they grew fond of sin. They did not love God, or try to please him. And God was wroth with them, and said he would send a flood that would drown the world, and there should not be any dry land left for men, beasts, or birds to live on. But though most of the folks at that time were as bad as they could be, there was one good man in their midst, and his name was Noah. And God loved Noah and told him what he meant to do. And God bade Noah build an ark. Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. Genesis 6:5-6 WICKEDNESS, noun Departure from the rules of the divine law; evil disposition or practices; immorality; crime; sin; sinfulness; corrupt manners wickedness generally signifies evil practices. GOOD, noun Most suitable or right for a particular purpose; that which is a benefit or useful and capable of pleasing. adjective Morally admirable and financially sound. Lesson II: Bubbles. THE ARK. THIS was a boat. It was to be made large, with rooms in it, and a great door on its side. And it was to be quite high, and to have a roof on top. And God told Noah when the ark was done he and his sons and their wives should go in it. And he told Noah to take in with him two of each kind of bird and of beast, and of bug, and of things that crept, and to take care of them in the ark so long as the flood should be on the earth; for all that were not in the ark would be sure to be drowned. So Noah set out at once to build the ark; and it took him a great while to build it. When not at work on the ark, he would talk of God, and of his plan to send a flood to wash sin out of the world, and would urge the folks to give up their sins, and lead good lives. But they paid no heed to his words, and went from bad to worse all the time that Noah was at work on the ark. When it was done God told Noah to come into the ark, for he saw he was a good man who had done his best to serve him, and to bring the birds and beasts with him. For in a few days he would send the rain on the earth, and all that was left on it would be drowned. So Noah did as God told him. And when he and his wife, and his three sons and their wives, and the birds and the beasts, both small and great, had passed through the great door of the ark, God shut them in. At the end of a week the rain set in, and did not stop for more than a month. The rain seemed to pour out of the sky, and all the springs, the large and small streams, and the great seas, rose up and swept through the length and breadth of the land.
