Many of the readers of this little book will have already read Little Pillows. Those were given you to go to sleep upon night after night; sweet, soothing texts, that little hearts might rest upon. This one is a short book of children's stories for the morning.
In the morning we want something to arouse us, and to help us to go brightly and bravely through the day. So here are "Morning Bells" to waken up the little hearts, and to remind them that we must not only rest in Jesus, but walk in Him. If the motto of "Little Pillows" might be "Come to Jesus," the motto of "Morning Bells" might be "Follow Jesus."
May He who loves the little ones bless this tiny effort to help them to follow Him day by day.
