attended a party and danced. It'd
ings of her sin reached home he
fore her. On her return she was
visited and called to a most severe
account for the disgrace she had
brought upon herself and her
church. and which it had been
found out Notwithstanding it was
done among strangers. One staid
maiden was especially earnest in
her rebuke, and made the poor girl
feel very bad.
"What shall l do 2" she asked.
"You had better go and sec Dr.
Lothrop.'
She did 80 and told him all about
it.

asked.
