They appear identified, for she looks like

that she is Myra Kedar.
Dear reader, let us contrast the innocent,
useful life, the pious example, and above
all, that "joy in Heaven over one sinner
that repenteth,'' with the condition she
would have been in had she continued to
live where we found her. Spurned by all
whom she respected, denied employment,
except where vice needed an emissary, or
its orgies a mental driven from every foot
of earth that was not polluted, Stunned and
made keenly aware, through all Of the
senses a merciful Providence had given her
for acquiring happiness, that she was be-
ing despised, degraded and hopeless.
The heathenS, after collecting every evil
i'll this world, placed them in Pandora S
box. Yet with all their paganisIn, they
then possessed better christian spirit than
we have, for they LETT hope al the bottom
of it.
Strange it is, passing strange, that We
should make SO great u mistake as to in
crease vice while endeavoring 70 suppress
it, and still more wonderful is it, that we
should be cC2nizant of the dreadful result OF
denying hope TO the human heart and yet
pursue 1t as Il Tepe5Gy to rice and q I)7'On20teF

Thousands are graded and nurtureti III poi
uted homes. Thousands have dwelt upon
tie virtuous, and wept whitening tears
over their own inundated hopes and ami
Inflated peace.
We cannot too often recur to the great
necessity for 4 line of deEnarcation between
virtue and vice, and that it should be de-
ciGed and uniform one. Social happiness
is based upon it, and nations derive all
their historic renown or ignOminy from it's
influence. The overthrow Of the most pO-
pulOus and fOurishing governments OF the
world might be traced to some presidential
