..TMo Sinners"

There was q man, it was said one time.
Who went astray in his youthful prime.
Can the brain keep cool and the heart keep quiet
When the blood is a river that's running rot
And the boys will be boys, the old folks say,
And the mans the better who's had his day.
The sinner reformed, and the preacher told
Of the prodigal son who came back to the ioid'
And the Christian people threw open the door
With warmer welcome than ever before
Wealth and honor were his 10 command
And spotle:s woman gave him her hand,
And the world strewed their pathway with lowers
a.bloom,
Crying, God bless lady end God bless groom J
There was maiden went astray,
In the golden dawn of life's young day.
She had more passion and heart than head,
Aud she followed blindly whore fond love led,
And love unchecked is dangerous guide
To wander at will by fair girls side
The woman repented and turned from her sin,
But no door opened to let her in
The preacher prayed that she might be forgiven,
But told her to look for mercy in Heaven.
For this 10 the law of the earth, we know,
That the woman is scorned, while the man may 60
a brave man welded her, after all,
But the world said, frowning. we shall not call
