My ears must hear His voice;

My hands be ever glad to do

My heavenly Father’s choice.”

OTHER: Let us look at the outside of our house before we try to see how it is made and furnished inside. I think you know now that when I am talking about a house or temple I mean the body. In some ways our bodies are like trees as well as houses. Look at this picture and tell me what you see.

Percy: A tree with a straight stem or trunk. It also has branches, called limbs, and is covered with bark.

Amy: And it has roots, which hold it fast in the ground.

Mother: Yes, trees are made to stand in one place while they live, and so they have roots. We have limbs like the tree, but our lower limbs are used to carry us from place to place, for we were not made to stand still. Can you think of another way in which we are like the tree?

Helen: Oh, I know! The middle part of the body is called the trunk.

Mother: Can you think of any other kind of trunk than the trunk of a tree or the trunk of the body?
