up into the AIR again. They fall upon
the crossing there, au1 are soiied brjha

down upon earth For Is il not thus
that little white souls arc ,ioworcd down
among Us every day? They come with
Heavens purity imprinted upon their
faces They fall into homes Of infany
and are polluted, into Christian homes
aud run their raccwith patience They
fall into the street 10 cold rr.inema..r.
into dcas Of dishonest and n the midst

school in which they are taught % they
grow; but there is one who notcsh even

and by. that it was ever white at all
There is One who does not forget.
Faith has broad and very loving bosom
in which We may bury all our an<ietics.

LoyALrY TO THE CnrRcu.-This
sentiment of LOYALTY "a the church has
not been very fully dcvcloredamone rs.
Religion as a spiritual force We believe
in firmly enough; religion in its intcIec-
tual aspects We have quite enough re-
spect for: but Instituted religion seems
to many IF Us not only secondary
thing, as it Is, but a thing Of very little
consequence, as it IS not.
II is sometimes said tlat<thcy whoare
loyat to Christ viii b. loyal to Ills
church. Bat this Is not quite true.
Some devoted christians wear their
church Obligations very loosely. They
are loyal % The Master but they arc not
loyal TO the institution winch lie h's
