Now, If I should ask: "Who ara the
royal families OF history2" you would
say: blouse of Hapsburg, House Of
S.uarts, House OF Bourbons."
THEY LIVED IN PALACES,
and had great equIpsge. But who sre
the Lords royal family? Some Of them
may serve you In the household,
some OF them are in unliehted garrets,
some OF them Will walk this afternoon
down the street, On their arm basket of

They went the whole round of iniquity.
they disgraced themselves, they disgrsced
their household, they despaired Of return
because their reputation was gone, their
property WAS gone, everything Was gone;
but in some aour like this they heard the
voice OF God and threw themselves on the
divine compassion and they rose up more
