In England two young men started from
their fathers bouse and went down 10
Paramount. The father could not pursue
his children; for some reason be could not
leave home. and 80 he wrote a letter down
70 Mr.. Griffin, saying: Mr.. Griffin. wish
you would 20 and Sc my two sons. They
have srrfvsd In Portsmontb, and they are
goiog 70 take ship. and going away from
home. wish you would persuade them
back Mr.. Griffin went and he tried % per-
susde them back He persuadse one TO 60 He
went with very easy persuasion because be
was very bomesick already. The other
young man said: 81 will not 20. / have ha
enough Of home. III never 90 home. n
"Tell, said Mr. Griffin, then II you won't
90 hons, III get you respectable position
on a respectable ship" mo. you won't,
said the prodigal; mo, you won't. / am
going a. a common sailor; that will plague
my father most, and what will do most 70

best"
Years passed on and Mr.. Griffin YVES
seated in his study one day when a mes-
sage came to him that there was a young
man Ia irons on a ship at the dock-a youna
see this clergyman. Mr.. Griffin went down
TO the dock and went on shipboard The
| young man said TO him "You don't know
me, do you p mo" he said, 81 don't
know you" why, don't you remember
that young man you tried TO persuade to 20
home and he wouldn't go 2" 30 yes" said
Mr.. Griffin, ''are you that man p "Yes, |
am that man, said the other. ~

me. / have committed murder and
must die; but / don't want to 20 out
| of this wrld until some one prays for me
You are my fathers friend and / would
like 10 have you pray for me-" Mr.. Griffin
went from Judicial authority to judicial
| authority TO get the young mans pardon
He slept not night nor day. He went from
influential person to influential person until
in some way he got that young mans par
don. He came down on the dock and as he
arrived on the dock with the pardon the
father came. He had heard that his son
under disguised name, had been commit
ting crime; and was going to be put &c
death. So Mr.. Griffin and the father wen
on ships deck, and at the very moment Mr.
Griffin offered the pardon to the younl
man, the old father threw his arms arount
the sons neck and the son said: Father,
have done very wrong and Pm very sorry
